I saw a crow missing its leg. It stared at me, and when I walked closer, it would fly to a nearby sign. This would repeat, leading me across a road and down a sidewalk to a forked path under a large tree. Never far (even within one meter), always in sight, and it would turn and look toward me while cawing. I left some orange pieces around for it to eat. This was while walking to class. I am not claiming it to be a sign, necessarily, but it was an interesting experience.
weird, I was just thinking about this topic, especially after happening upon the Irish word fiachaireacht (dictionary definition said "weather forecasting, raven watching"). Thanks for this info
Really good info! I live down in a southern area, so I’m aware that there’s a higher number of birds here than usual at this time of year, but it also happens to correspond to an attempted devotional for Samhain. I mostly just see crows as a reminder of my commitment, but I try not to read too much into it beyond that. I’m a general believer of ornithomancy(Or using bird sightings as a form of divination), but I don’t have much of system for it other than associating particular birds with ancestors.
I live in the magpie capital of the world. 9/10 times, the birds are simply living their lives. However, such a high population has led to a population of leucistic (white) magpies, and I very much consider those to be a sign, depending on context. Being in the world of professional biology definitely informs the interactions I consider signs or not.

Thanks as always for the good videos 👍🏻
Thank you for the information ❤. Good to know
I've only seen rooks in Ireland, but I love them and always seek them out.
My mother's family name is Crowe. the family motto is "the troublesome crow'
