HAHAHAHA...I love it. I was always fascinated by the fact that it was a 'murder of crows'. My brother had a pet crow when we were growing up. He was very clever. Happy weekend, Debra- Diana

Beautiful art by Kelly Louise Judd. Loved the hop, hop, hop and the correctly quoted (quothed) raven.

The crows in my neighbourhood are getting fiercer: they shriek "fu-caw, fu-caw" at each other regularly, so a crow rumble might be in the offing, LOL!

Thanks for this upbeat, enlightening post, cheers!🐦‍⬛

I have always loved the phrase "a murder of crow."
I'd like to belong to a club with a cool name!

Alfred Hitchcock has so much to answer for. Fear not the flightless birds, they only bring love.

Boud said...

I've always wanted crows in my neighborhood. Maybe I'll rethink that one.

Pixie said...

Crows before bros, I love it. I love crows, and ravens. They're such cool birds.

They sure are clever little things.
Telling a crow could work! I'll have to remember that.

Quoth the Raven ... indeed! Love these!

Ms. Moon said...

That Bleeding Heart Crows would make an excellent tattoo.
So would Quoth the Raven, What the Fuck?

Liz Hinds said...

Love the bleeding heart crows. Great artist.

I've always been fascinated by crows. I particularly like the artwork! And the revenge one is also great lol

We had quite the 'Murder' of Crows here for a couple of years they were quite interesting to watch as they chased off Eagles and Hawks. Noisy! But since the women in my mom's family were always called Old Crows...when they made noise my husband would say "Oh your mom and aunts are saying hello". That always caused us to laugh.

RedPat said...

Lots of smiles again, Debra.

"Quoth the Raven..." I'm sending that to a friend who loves Edgar Allen Poe

Never invoke the gods, never cross a crow.

Busy Bee Suz said...

I quote the raven quite often!!

So much fun, Debra! Reminds me of Stacy and her love of crows. I'm fortunate to have one of her art pieces. "Bleeding Heart Crows" by Louise Judd is wonderful. Death's Messenger was hilarious. Enjoy your weekend!

You had me giggling. Rebel with a caws, hahaha.
My address is Pico Grajo, which is the 'raven's beak'.
Keep smiling,

In a lifetime of birding I have never actually heard anyone use the term, “Murder of Crows,” or “Parliament of Owls” for that matter.

Dear Debra, I love ❤️ crows and ravens, they are in the Corvid family and very intelligent birds. I remember the murder of crows describing a group of them.
I really enjoyed this, dear friend. 😊

angela said...

We have some huge crows here. And yes they remember.
I’ve fed them a couple of times and they always come closer to see if I have anything for them.
I always leave some dry cat food for them. They love it

Kirk said...

Don't need a midnight dreary to enjoy these.

I am actually starting to love crows these days. Thanks for the blogging community

How do we know said...

How do you ALWAYS get the funniest ones!!! The hop hop hop is my personal favourite!

My name is Erika. said...

I was out all day yesterday and when I got home I took a nap. So I'm behind, but I LOVE these. I actually saw several ravens yesterday. They are HUGE compared to crows, so I'm glad you included some in this set of memes.
