	Crow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jackdaw-, crow- and raven-sized forms seem to have existed since long ago and crows were regularly hunted by humans up to the Iron Age, documenting the evolution of the modern taxa.
		Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion.
		In mythology and folklore as a whole, crows tend to be symbolic more of the spiritual aspect of death, or the transition of the spirit into the afterlife, whereas ravens tend more often to be associated with the negative (physical) aspect of death.

	Crows and Ravens
		The bases of the feathers of the crows are white, while those of the ravens are grey, although this characteristic is perhaps only of benefit if birds are held in the hand or if discarded feathers are found.
		Crows and ravens are found throughout Australia, in all habitat types, with the exception of the more arid areas of Western Australia.
		One concern with the possible establishment of the House Crow in Australia, is its record as a pest of crops.

	The History of the Crow Barbee House

		In addition, because of the 200 plus years of historical significance of the property, the house and grounds are once again open to the public for educational projects and study.

	Article: Know Your Crow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		My few reference books at the time told me that the House Crow had been living with human communities since time immemorial, but that the Jungle Crow was a rare forest bird that had only recently begun to be seen in areas of dense human settlement.
		The Jungle Crow is now so well established as an urban resident that modern bird books have stopped calling it by its old name, preferring the rather less elegant name of Large-Billed Crow.
		So, within the space of probably just a hundred years, the Jungle Crow transformed from a shy jungle bird to a savvy urban resident, and you can see for yourself that it is doing just fine.
