The crow

Did you know?

The male

According to folklore, the crow is one of the most intelligent birds. They can, for example, search and empty fishers’ hooks in the wintertime by pulling out the fishing-line and eating the bait. A long time ago the crow was considered Odin’s bird, but with time it came to be associated with Hin, which made people think that the crow had more to do with witches and wise women.

Appearance
Big bird with two colours, a black head and wings but otherwise grey.

Food and bird tables

The crow is an omnivorous bird and will eat carrion, trash, grain, worms, birds’ eggs and chicks.

The nest and hollows
Usually the female builds the nest, which she places at the top of a tree. It is made out of dry twigs, soil and mud. The species normally establish one territory which they defend their entire lives.
