The crow
have a social life of their own. If any crow is in danger, other crows come in
a body and help it. The crow rises very early in the morning. It is restless
and
has some nasty habits.
The crow is said to
be a very cunning bird. Indeed, its cunning ness is evident in the prolific
mischief it makes throughout the day. The story of ‘ The Crow and the Jar’ speaks volume of its intelligence and
cleverness. However,
there are as many popular stories about its foolishness as about its
cunning ness. The well-known story of ‘
The Crow and the Fox’ is one of
them. The funny thing about the crow is that it is easily be fooled by the
cuckoo which lays eggs in its nest.
The crow cannot realize the trick of the cuckoo. It hatches the eggs of the latter and brings
up the young ones of the cuckoo till they are recognizable. It is too late when
the crow understands its foolishness.
Though ugly in
appearance and habits, the crow does us some good. It eats rotten and dirty
things. Thus it cleanses filth and keeps our home and surroundings clean and
healthful. Moreover, its devilish cleverness and its silly
foolishness have made it practically a folk character.
