To find the ratio of Blue Birds to Crows, we need to divide the number of Blue Birds by the number of Crows.

Blue Birds / Crows = 16 / 12

To simplify this fraction, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 16 and 12, which is 4.

16 / 4 = 4
12 / 4 = 3

So, the simplified ratio of Blue Birds to Crows is 4:3.
