Bring stories and images of your encounters with crows, ravens, and other corvids. Link articles and anecdotes. Note here your literary references.
Saw this little guy sunbathing on the back of my bike when I got back from getting groceries. Probably liked the bags since they were quite warm from being in the sun.
He was very unperturbed when I walked up to him, pretty much giving me a look of "Do you mind? I'm enjoying myself here". Only moved when I unlocked my bike.
Cute! But to be pedantic, this is a jackdaw, a different type of corvid, super chill little guys
Yeah fair, the English name slipped my mind while writing the post and I was too lazy to look it up. Also true, they're super chill. This one hangs around the entrance of the grocery store with a buddy quite often, sitting on the bikes and just generally vibing.
No one calls jackdaws crows ¬.¬
Funny, you made me realize that's a language thing. In my native language (Dutch) it is very common to refer to both crows and jackdaws as crows.
In dutch a jackdaw is called a 'kauw'.
