Description
"A Conspiracy of ravens" watercolour
This collective noun perfectly evokes this sometimes sinister bird.
Other collective nouns for birds thought to originate in texts about hunting, each striving to capture the very essence of the animal they describe." A murder of crows', 'a charm of goldfinches', 'an ostentation of peacocks' 'a parliament of owls' .
Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales,
Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, and food waste.
