 Courier In East Asia, ravens are associated with luck, so the crows who sit at the Mundar and go to their villages are also considered as message-bearers.  Some crows even kill weak habitants in the temptation to eat fresh meat.  Brown-throated crows are the first to destroy crops.  The Irish connect the crows to the goddess of war and death.  Australians see him as a culture hero.  In India, it is considered bad to sit on a crow's head and it is propagated as sorcery.  There is a discussion of Kak Bhusundi in Yoga Vashistha, also in the Ramayana, there is a reference to Sita's foot bending a crow.

The crow is a black colored bird.  In Rajasthani language it is called 'Kagala' and in Marwadi it is called 'Hada'.  It is a pigeon-shaped black bird, which makes a 'kar-koan' sound of Karna hoarse.  The crow is considered very defiant, cunning and clever bird.  The crow is an astonishing bird.  There is so much variety in them that a 'paper' has also been composed on it.  The raven is no longer visible in many places in India.  The deteriorating environment has also hit the crows.  The situation is that in the Shraddha to meet the rituals are not found even by searching for the crow.  As an alternative to crow, people are completing rituals by giving food portions to monkeys, cows and other birds.

Species

 Six species of crow are found in India.  India's renowned ornithologist Salim Ali mentions only two in the handbook - a wild crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) and a domestic crow (Corvus splendens).  The wild crow is completely black, while the domestic crow has a brown stripe around its neck.  Perhaps seeing this, Tulsidas has conceptualized the immortal Manas character named 'Kag Bhushundi', whose necklace is like a necklace.

 Clever playful wit

 Experts point out that the brains of crows function in almost the same way as chimpanzees and humans do.  They are untouchables in the eyes of people, but are so clever that they know who is a fraud and who can be a friend only by seeing their face.  Crows are excellent at showing their cleverness.  Scientists count them among the smartest birds, because they have passed all such tests, which other birds are not able to pass.  Some species of Israeli ravens are so trained that they take care of taking the pieces of bread to the right place to catch fish.  Researchers at the American University of Washington say they can remember faces that pose a threat to themselves for up to five years.

Awesome memory

 On the strength of their memory, the crows also remember about the food that is kept safe for themselves, which they use when they are hungry.  Some time ago a new species of crows has been discovered, which also keeps using its tools according to everyday needs.  They use a dry stem or leaf with the help of a beak to get food, like a clever one.  It is also seen that they also wait for a vehicle to be crushed by dropping the closed nuts on the road.  The University of Oxford gave the result of its 2007 study, which was found by imposing tiny cameras on Newcastleian crows.  It was found that they also make many new things as tools on their need.  Specialists are in preparing new types of food by digging, brittle or softening, folding or adding something.  In Queensland, Australia, there are also species of crows that can drink cans and cans.

Importance of crow in shraadh

 Crow

 In India, crows have a special importance in Hinduism at the time of Shraddha Paksha and during every Shraddha, first of all the crows are fed as a meal to the ancestors.  It is believed that a person dies and takes birth to the crow first.  It is believed that feeding the crows gives food to the fathers.  The person who is performing the Shraddha Karma, serves all the food in a plate and goes to the roof of his house and loudly calls out to the crows, calling Kobus 'Kobus'.  After a while when a crow arrives, he is served that food.  Water filled containers are also kept nearby.  When the crow comes to eat food on the roof of the house, it is believed that the ancestor who has been Shraddha is happy and has come to eat.  Due to the crow's delay and not eating food, it is believed that he is angry with the ancestors and then measures are taken to persuade him.  During this, apologies are made for any mistake with folded hands and then the crow is asked to eat food.  Until the crow does not eat, the person's heart is not happy.  In this way, crows also have twelve feet in the Shraddha Paksha.
