No animal knows us better than crows. Where there are people, there are crows. There is no revolution that they have not witnessed. Bloodbath or feast, they have marveled at both countless times as our chroniclers. As our companions, crows experience the entire spectrum of human behavior. They are idolized, hunted and banished. Considered unlucky and reviled as gallows birds, they are revered as birds of the soul and messengers of the gods. Crows are the unknown, critical observers of human civilization. We must listen to them and study their raven chronicles - we would learn a lot about ourselves.
