The crow is a
familiar bird. We see it near about our houses from sun-rise to sun-set. It
arouses us from sleep early in the morning with its loud caw and we hear its
harsh cry
at sun-set too.
The crow is jet black
in color. It has two large wings. Its legs are long and thin. There are claws
and nails on its feet. Its body is covered with black feathers. Its eyes are
bright and keen. It has a strong bill and its voice is harsh.
There are many
kinds of crows. The raven, the rook, the jackdaw, the carrion crow are some of
these kinds. The raven is the biggest of all. There are white crows in
Australia. The crow is found all over the world. It is seen everywhere in
villages, towns and markets.
The crow is an ugly
bird. Its voice is ugly too. Its caws and caws and its harsh and shrill voice
annoys the audience. It is a superstitious belief in our country
that the cawing of a craw at night foretells something ominous.
The crow eats almost
everything. It eats fish, fruits, sweets, rice, grains and many other things.
It is fond of ripe fruits and rotten things.
The crow is very
clever but greedy. It enters our houses and steals things for food. It takes
away food from the hands of children too. It also steals other birds ‘eggs’.
It builds nests, lay eggs and hatches them. At night crows live in groups on
tall trees.
