An analysis of the caws that a Crow makes..!

This pic was taken at Grand Canyon by one of my friends!
The crow seems really giant! Isn't it?

Have been watching too many crows around my home... so was curious! Had many questions on my mind..! Came across this forum and was happy that there are few more people in world who would wanna talk about this....! I am not the only one!

[Which comment did you find really good??]

I liked this one because it is really hard to keep a count of how many crows are cawing [lol]:
"Some people consider crows to be omens that can tell the future. The historic practice of crow augury contends that one can predict the future by counting the number of crows at significant times and events. But count at your discretion; you may not like what they predict. Count only one crow and you will have sorrow, loss or death. Two bring joy, change for the better and surprise, and the sighting of three is for marriage, celebration or the birth of a female child. For a male child to be born, there must be four crows counted.

It keeps going: Five crows bring the counter silver or something valuable. Six might symbolize gold and wealth, but beware; there may be something negative coming with the riches. The sighting of seven crows acknowledges a secret, witchcraft or sacred rites, while eight crows indicate something profound and that death is possibly on the horizon.

Nine indicate temptation and passion, and seeing 10 crows means there is payment due. Eleven crows indicate waiting and uncertainty, but 12 crows signal fulfillment and riches. "

This is certainly followed by many Indian families..!
