Crows are members of the Corvidae family, which also includes ravens, magpies, and blue jays. Loud, rambunctious, and very intelligent, crows are most often associated with a long history of fear and loathing. They are considered pests by farmers trying to protect their crops and seedlings. Many people fear them simply because of their black feathers, which are often associating them with death. But research demonstrated in A Murder of Crows proves crows are actually very social and caring creatures, and also among the smartest animals on the planet.

A murder of crows flies across the blue sky at day's break The look out caws a warning Danger, danger caution take Heeding the call they fly away A chance to live another Humans seem unaware, continue to fall, soon beneath earth's cover There is a paleness of pink upon the earth's horizon Day follows day, man drifts away Without realization
