Did you know a gathering of crows is called
"A Murder Of Crows" ?
Crows are intelligent, very social
and have a tight knit family.
Crows have one life long mate.
Crows use at least 250 different calls.
There are approximately 40+ species.
Crows roost in large numbers to protect themselves.
The term "Murder Of Crows"
reflects a time when groupings of animals
had colorful / poetic names,
many based on old folk tales.
an "ostentation of peacocks"
a "parliament of owls"
a "knot of frogs or toads"
a "skulk of foxes"
a "charm of finches"
a "rafter of turkeys"
a "shiver of sharks"
a "smack of jellyfish"
