I have been Fascinated with crows and ravens for quite a spell..And feel I should dedicate poetry in honor of the Crow..just because...last week, A place I Volunteer to help at...there was an old woman who told me my hair was that of the crow...and she blessed herself ,,,being a good catholic...told me I should change my crow hair.../damn that pissed me off...I love crows..I have seen the sheen of their feathers reflecting the rays of the sun into all the colors of the rainbow...FUCK HER...so
I leave this thread ...a tribute to the black crow as black all the colors of the sun reflect from darkness...black is beautiful...
Intelligence A tale told by Aesop informs us that the intelligence
of
corvids (Ravens and Crows) has long been known. A thirsty crow found a
pitcher of water, but the water was too far below the rim for his beak
to
reach. The clever crow began dropping pebbles into the pitcher, raising
the
water level until it reached the brim, where she could quench her
thirst.
At Oxford University in England, ornithologists conducted an unusual
experiment with two New Caledonian Crows named Betty and Abel, reported
in
the August 9, 2002 issue of the journal Science. They placed a tiny
bucket
of meat inside a pipe, and left two pieces of wire in their cage, one
hooked
and one straight, to see if the birds would choose the hooked wire to
retrieve the bucket of meat, proving that birds were "tool users" on a
par
with higher levels of animal intelligence.
"We were delighted and extremely surprised" reported Alex Kacelnik,
one
of the bird experts studying the crows, when Abel stole the hooked wire
from
Betty, and rather than giving up, Betty "modified" the straight wire
into a
hooked wire, and was thus able to hook the bucket, pull it up, and
retrieve
her snack. This elevates ravens from "tool users" to "tool makers",
which
places them on a par with primates.
So You may post your favorite Crow works be it yours or another...let the feathers
shine in honor of the Crow....
