Vancouver’s most infamous bird has now achieved worldwide notoriety.

Canuck the crow was accused of swooping off with a knife from a crime scene, and its exploits have now been documented by various news outlets across the globe, from Washington Post to The Guardian and ABC News.
Here’s what CBC originally reported happened:

On May 24, police had shot a man near Hastings and Cassiar streets. They were called to the scene of a car engulfed in flames. When they arrived, police said, they were confronted by a man with a knife.

Shots were fired and the man was arrested.

Vancouver Courier reporter Mike Howell said he saw the bird — which had a red tag on its leg as does Canuck — swoop in and pick up an object from inside an area cordoned off by police tape.

“A cop chased it for about 15 to 20 feet, and then the crow dropped it and took off,” Howell told CBC.

Police recovered the knife and placed it into an evidence box.

Dans une émission sur france culture sur les corbeaux Michel Pastoureaux raconte que le nom de corbeau pour les délateurices vient du fait que pendant les chasses au renard, les corbeaux aident parfois les renards en leur disant où sont les chasseurs et leurs chiens.
