      A friend of mine had the trees at the back of his garden cut down. The crows were really p1553d off about it. They've started deliberately popping on his white BMW M4. Against his windows and patio doors. And picking up and dropping random rubbish into his garden.
      He was telling me about it when I went round there. I was sitting by the patio doors, and I looked outside and there was two dozen of them sitting on top of his shed glaring in. I found it hysterical, he was freaked out by it.
      The same group (I assume), I see in the park. I usually take bread, out of date cereal, fruit for them. There'll be a couple of them, they'll see me coming and disappear. And a few minutes later come back with the rest of them ready for a feast.
      They are great birds

      @StoffelDilligas I'd suggest telling him to set up bird houses and a large variety of stuff to appease the flock. I think it's mostly perches and shelter that they miss, but then again, I'm living in an area where there's no clows or ravens.

I loved the information you provided on the aboriginal connection of the crow and the Pleiades. The Pleiades bring the next evolutionary step in consciousness for humanity.

    They are magnificent birds. I have watched these crows in particular they really are so close to us. People do not understand the raven and crow especially because they are black. The underworld is calling with these birds, letting us follow them into darkness and then bring into the light. They are very smart and should be respected, they speak to us if we would listen. Speak to them when you see them and they will speak back! Blessings and light🌹❤️

    And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting.
    On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door.
    And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming.
    And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor.
    And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor.
    Shall be lifted... nevermore !

    I'm currently studying alot of Gaulish History and Mythology, (Which is scarce to say the least... so thank you for that Mr. Caesar), and to me the most facinating Gaulish Deity is Cathubodua, ''Battle Crow''. Who? Exactly, the fact we know so little about her is what fascinates me, but she seems to be the gaulish equivalent to Badb or The Morrigan.

      That’s very interesting. I always thought that Odin’s Valkyries and the Morrigan were representations of crows and ravens scavenging the dead on the battlefield. And that’s why they choose who lives and dies in battle. I’ve never heard of Cathubodua before. But “Battle Crow” seems to be in line with the others. Do you have any recommendations on where I can learn about her?

    The Crow by James O'Barr (which was adapted into the film starring the late Brandon Lee) was written as a means for the said author to express and cope with his grief following the violent death of his girlfriend.
    However, I was also told that the legend of the Crow being a spirit guide for souls to come back to make the wrong things right was also based off of Native American legend.
