We see a wide variety of animals—both large and small—in our environment, and these creatures play beneficial roles in our ecosystem. Among them, I often spot various types of birds in different locations. Whether I am walking along the road or traveling from one place to another by vehicle, I frequently encounter diverse species of birds in their natural habitat. I enjoy appreciating the beauty of these birds by photographing them. Today, I am sharing a bird commonly found in rural areas: the House Crow. Upon seeing this bird, I admired the beauty of its black form; finding it captivating and wanting to share the experience with friends, I took several photos from different angles using my mobile phone, which are presented below.
I visited an amusement park accompanied by my entire family. While we were resting at a spot inside the park around midday, we noticed this bird sitting right in front of us, looking around in various directions. I turned on my mobile camera and managed to take a few photographs of it. I observed that it was a black crow—a type of bird commonly found near human dwellings. They frequently perch on trees adjacent to kitchens, especially in rural homes—a sight I have witnessed many times at my own village house.
The crow is often regarded as a rather unclean bird. It is also perceived as being foolish and thieving in nature. Its association with filth stems from the fact that one often sees them perched on piles of refuse, scavenging for scraps. Its reputation as a thief comes from its habit of perching in trees near homes and seizing the perfect opportunity to steal and eat cooked food. On the other hand, it is also considered a foolish bird. I recall a story where a crow stole a piece of beef and perched on a tree, preparing to eat it. A fox appeared beneath the tree, praised the bird, and asked it to sing a song with its sweet voice. Flattered by the praise, the crow opened its beak to sing; the meat fell to the ground, and the fox promptly snatched it up and ran away. That is why the crow is labeled a foolish bird. Finally, I should mention that this particular crow spent a long time with us at an amusement park, behaving almost like a friend. As evening fell, we left the bird behind and returned home. Thank you to all my friends.
