Why do people get so upset when the crows come around?
People often declare, ‘Darn crows; they make too much noise!’
Crow do have a remarkable voice range and can caw in many different tones. We don’t really know what they are cawing about, but we are all curious about mystical references to these birds.
It is intriguing that crows and ravens are often mentioned in folklore and mythology for their power and compassion. Here are a few mentions: (notes from the text from Ted Andrew’s ‘Animal Speak’)
- Through tales from the Athabasca Indians of Alaska, a crow was the creator of the world.
- For the Celts, the crow is also associated with creation.
- In the Norse traditions, the god Odin had two ravens who were his messengers.
- In Biblical lore, the profit Elijah was fed by ravens and crows while hiding in the wilderness.
Crows are very smart, as they can intrigue and aggravate us at the same time. They remember where and who did what. If you choose to shoo them with a water hose, they will remember the spiteful deed.
And, if you choose to feed them, the crows will remember to come back.
The crows in my neighborhood always have a sentinel posted for safety, particularly while feeding. Whenever I put out a few crusts of bread, I’ll see one crow sitting on the gutter of the house, waiting his/her turn, while another crow stuffs its beak with bread. Often, a crow will pause at the birdbath to wash off his goodies, only to scoop them up again and travel farther down the street.
Both of our pets are mesmerized with the crows, watching their every move. The cat will let out a low growl if they move too close to the house, while the dog anxiously waits to get out of the gate –to compete for the stale crackers I’ve flung onto the patio!
Your backyard crows can be loyal protectors for your property. If you don’t want to feed them, just respect them for the mystical beings they are.
Magic and creation are cawing to us each day. Watch for them; they could be bringing you a message on their next visit.
Enjoy your journey, Kathryn
