Affiliative behaviours, such as sitting within reaching distance, allo-preening and social play, were observed particularly in the small subgroups. Aggression was high during crowd foraging but low outside of a feeding context. Birds only flocked for feeding, mobbing and roosting, and spent the rest of the day in loose aggregations, characterised by temporary small subgroups of 2–5 individuals. The composition of marked Ravens in the local population changed slowly but constantly, although often remaining stable for several weeks. We here focus on the daily fission–fusion dynamics, individual spacing, and the influence of spacing on the birds’ agonistic and affiliative behaviour. Over 2 years, we observed a free-flying population of Ravens that visits a game park in the northern Alps. In captivity, Common Raven Corvus corax, nonbreeder groups show strong social bonds and complex tactical manoeuvring, whereas wild non-breeders are thought to resemble anonymous aggregations. In birds, however, data are primarily derived from captive animals, which strongly contrast with free-flying birds in terms of the number of interaction partners as well as available space. It does not store any personal data.A complex social life serves as one of the main driving forces behind the evolution of higher cognitive abilities in vertebrates.
