It is NOT just a CROW!

To most people (non-birders), a crow is a crow and just a crow! What they have seen around their homes all the time. The house crow normally!
Owls and Crows are typically the victims of most superstitions, misunderstandings, ridicules, and also the birds with probably the most idioms and phrases / “muhavre” made on them! However, both are very intelligent birds who do a lot of service to the nature and society at large.
Having done my bit for the Owls, I had to do a small bit for the “crows” too. Wanted to cover all the “crow looking” birds typically found in India, so that many of my personal friends start respecting them a little bit more!
