Crows

Tweet

Crows are interesting birds. A group of them is called a 'murder'. There are a lot of superstitions and folklore regarding them. They love to hang out in cemeteries. Come to find out it is because there are large open areas and short grass where it is easy to find food. Crows and ravens both are known to eat human flesh. (Ooh, doesn't that make your skin crawl?)They are also known as harbingers of death because they tend to gather at scenes of death. Large flocks gather on the battlefields. They are just taking advantage of the food. They have good problem-solving skills and have been known to manufacture tools to help them acquire food items. They will eat almost anything including fruit, insects, eggs, and even human vomit. Crows are expert mimics and can imitate human speech even better than parrots. They can actually get the low tone of a man and the high tone of a woman. They have a fascination with humans and can remember faces. Photo is from wallup.net
