Do crows have a good sense of smell?

Crows have a relatively poor sense of smell compared to many other animals. They rely more heavily on their keen eyesight and hearing for finding food and navigating.

While crows can detect some odors, their olfactory bulbs (the part of the brain responsible for smell) are relatively small compared to their visual and auditory centers.

This is why crows are not typically used for scent-based tasks like dogs, and their diet relies more on visual cues like seeing other birds feeding or finding carrion.
