Occasionally confused in some areas of the country with the larger common raven, crows are much more social, and can often be found within roosts of hundreds of thousands of birds.

Just about any kind of food can cause gustatory rhinitis; spicy foods are the most common, including chili peppers, horseradish, black pepper, and onion. Most people who experience gustatory rhinitis will have symptoms of clear, thin nasal discharge (the âsnifflesâ) almost immediately after eating the trigger food. Sneezing and watery eyes may occur, but usually, there is no itching of the eyes, nose or mouth. The symptoms usually go away within a few minutes once the person stops eating the trigger food. For people who are bothered by symptoms of gustatory rhinitis, the use of Nasal Atrovent (ipratropium bromide nasal spray) can help to prevent and treat the symptoms.
