This is a list of English terms of venery (venery being an archaic word for hunting), comprising terms from a tradition that arose in the Lat Middle Ages, at least partly from the Book of Saint Albans of 1486. Although originally considered whimsical and humorous, many of these terms have become part of the modern-day lexicon.
Crows are members of the Corvidae family, which also includes ravens, magpies, and blue jays. Loud, rambunctious, and very intelligent, crows are most often associated with a long history of fear and loathing. They are considered pests by farmers trying to protect their crops and seedlings. Many people fear them simply because of their black feathers, which are often associating them with death. But research demonstrated in A Murder of Crows proves crows are actually very social and caring creatures, and also among the smartest animals on the planet.
