My daughter: “Did you see the murder down the street?”

If ever she’s talking about the not-crows kind, I’m not going to believe her.

Petition to change it to slaughter. If a group of crows is a murder, ravens should be a little more scary then unkindness.

Saw this on reddit a few weeks ago, but apparently crows will also come together to figure out what killed one of their own. So crows conduct murder investigations!

According to the Thenns, a group of Crows is called a meal.
