I learned that somewhere in the South as a teenager. Spot on. The ONLY crow I ever killed, I ran out of the back a house and around to the front as fast as I could go in a house we were living in when I saw them in the front yard and managed to kill one as he took off.
Please don’t shoot the rock groups “Counting Crows” and the “Black Crows”. They are pretty good.
Now if someone were to mistake AOC for a crow (aka Heckle and Jeckle looking), oh well. Shit happens. She dresses in black so much that she looks like a Black Bird/Crow/Raven/Vulture/Buzzard/Flying Monkey from Oz.
