The nest is made of sticks and twigs and is usually high up in a tree. The breeding female will lay 3-6 eggs which will require 18 days of incubation, and an additional 35 days in the nest before the young crows are able to fly. Unlike many species of birds, American crows do not immediately leave their parents.
