Corvus. Latin, 'Crow' or 'Raven'
Corvus is a small constellation in the southern hemisphere said to represent Apollo's crow.
In Greek mythology, Apollo transformed himself into the bird to escape the fearsome monster Typhon and thus the Crow became sacred to him.
Behind The Series
| Scientific name | Corvidae |
| Fun fact | Studies indicate that crows possess the ability to recall and differentiate among distinct human faces, demonstrating a capacity to harbor a grudge towards specific individuals. |
| Jewellery lovers | This beautiful creatures exhibit an intriguing fascination with shiny objects, a behavior often dubbed "kleptoparasitism." From coins to discarded jewelry, these birds are drawn to reflective items. |
| Family | Corvids, categorized under the Corvidae family, commonly known as the crow family, encompass a diverse group of birds. This avian family includes crows, jackdaws, rooks, ravens, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers, totaling over 120 distinct species. |
| Mythology | Corvids have made a lasting impression on human culture, finding their way into literature, art, and folklore worldwide, thanks to their remarkable intelligence. |
| Murder of crows | A gathering of crows is somewhat ominously referred to as a "murder," a term believed to trace its roots back to the Middle Ages and Medieval hunting practices. This nomenclature reflects the natural scavenging tendencies of crows, known to feed on the remains of animals. Additionally, their historical presence on battlefields further solidifies the association of the species with themes of mortality and death. |
