"Folklore and Superstitions regarding Ravens, Crows, and Magpies:

Crows have been used for the purpose of divination since the time of ancient Rome.

Finding a dead crow on the road is good luck.

Crows in a church yard are bad luck

A single crow over a house meant bad news, and often foretold a death within. "A crow on the thatch, soon death lifts the latch."

It was unlucky in Wales to have a crow cross your path. However, if two crows crossed your path, the luck was reversed. "Two crows I see, good luck to me"

In New England, however, to see two crows flying together from the left was bad luck.

When crows were quiet and subdued during their midsummer's molt, some European peasants believed that it was because they were preparing to go to the Devil to pay tribute with their black feathers.

Often, two crows would be released together during a wedding celebration. If the two flew away together, the couple could look forward to a long life together. If the pair separated, the couple might expect to be soon parted, too. (This practice was also performed using pairs of doves).

In Chinese mythology a three legged crow was used to represent the Sun (because 3 was the number for light and goodness, which the sun was the embodiment of) . . ."

Answer 3

When my Mom was dying six years ago of inoperable cancer, we had her at home, and I was caring for her.

She had been home for about 2 weeks, when a murder (that is what a flock is called) of crows showed up committing, well, murder. We have lived on this ravine property for over 50 years. In that whole time we had never seen crows band together in a group of between 20 and 30. Yet on this day, that was exactly what we had...a group of 20 to 30 crows squawking away in our backyard, murdering and fighting over the carcasses of any small creature they could catch. We saw at least 4 chipmunks devoured, and probably 10 small birds (wild finches).

I asked my Mom about them being a sign of bad luck, and she said that they are supposed to signal an imminent death. She died within two weeks (when we had been expecting her to go on for months yet).

So are they bad luck? I would have to answer that with a yes.

Answer 4

No. A crow is a very intelligent bird that brings neither good luck or bad, it just lives. Did you know that a crow mates for life! They are a very interesting bird to study up on. I think that by learning more of the facts about something superstition is build around, we forget the superstitions and enjoy the species.

Answer 5

No, it isn't true. It may mean you live in the country. It is a legend from Europe that seeing a crow means death. I see crows nearly every day and I am still here. Relax and enjoy nature's beauties.

Answer 6

I find crows have a great sense of humour. They're always stealing things, and constantly chuckling to their buddies. They're very communal - if there's a group of crows on the ground, one will stomp his feet when you get too near, and warn the other crows to pay attention. I just adore them.

You may be thinking of the British folklore of seeing a blackbird on your windowsill, that is supposed to forewarn of a death. The blackbird is a distant relative of the crow, but not the same species.

Answer 7

I do not think so. If you kill all the crows that live on earth, will they -- bad luck, death or something similar -- disappear from the world?

Answer 8

Black crows are common among the voodoo community , so they designate death. As black crows are known to feast on decayed corpses, much like the vultures. Their caw-caw sounds is eminent when a spell is cast. They are also associated with witches.

Answer 9

No, but if you eat crow, it is definitely bad luck, on account of it probably had avian flu.

Answer 10

means you saw two crows
