00:00I don't think people understand how fascinating crows are, and why they're called a murder.
00:05So, why murder? This eerie term dates back to ancient times, and is steeped in folklore and
00:10superstition. Crows were often seen as omens of death, and dark magic. But here's the twist.
00:16Despite their spooky reputation, these birds are super smart and social. Crows can recognize human
00:21faces, use tools, and even hold grudges. Imagine a bird that remembers you, and decides whether it
00:27likes you or not. Wild, right? And get this, they have their own crow court where they gather and
00:32judge the actions of other crows. Talk about bird justice. So next time you see a murder of crows,
00:37don't be spooked. Instead, marvel at their intelligence and unique social lives. And
00:42remember, not all things dark are dangerous. Sometimes, they're just misunderstood.
