Crows
Seeing a single crow is very unlucky. Two crows mean good luck! Three means health, Four means wealth, Five is sickness & Six mean death!
If you see three black crows together that means someone in your family will die. I saw three when my sister died a while back. My best friend’s father died around the same time.I’ve been seeing single black crows for some time now. I was told when this happens, I will hear of a death of someone I know. I remember this well, I was out on break at my job and a crow landed in front of my car and hawked at me. The same day, the vice president of my company died.

Hi,
When a crow lurches on your compound and crows repeatedly, there is a belief that some guests will arrive for food. It is habit and belief that if freshly prepared food is kept for crows and call them ‘Ka Ka Ka’ and if they come and take food ,our ancesters will come and take food in the disguise of crows , thank and bless the family.
I’ve never been suprsticious about most things, but I do sometimes wonder about the sensitivity of animals and birds.
In 1999 an owl sat out side my Fifth Avenue Apartment for weeks and each morning would give it’s owl sound. My wife was very sick at the time and did indeed die later in 2000.
Just over three months ago In early April of 2010 I heard an owl out back of my apartment for a couple of days, then a Cardinal came flying up to my kitchen window. My daughter saw the Cardinal which was very animated at the open window with a screen on it. She commented “That the Cardinal seemed to be talking to her, trying to tell her something.” In less than two weeks my daughter was dead. She was in perfect health.
I think that the explanation is simple. They have built into their brain and/or nervous system something that can pick up negative vibrations from afar of illiness or death. Just like bats with their built in radar.
Hi, sorry to hear about terrible lost Scott. It’s always terrible when love ones past away and hope you and your family cope okay.
But please do not state and mix up the gathering of animals with coincidental acts of death. There are millions of people who die and there as many millions of crows or what ever animal you choose to fit your belief that fly, crawl, swim around this little planet. Crows have as much insight as you and i have of telling what’s going to happen next. and yes its lovely to believe in such stories of woe, but its clearly not FACT! and every single creditable scientist on this planet with prove this to you
I have been plagued by crows since early 2010, since which i have had my long-term partner who i have 3 autistic children with leave me, my horse Claude god rest his soul died at the young age of just 9yo, my always reliable well kept car snapped a piston rod which stabbed a hole through the engine costing me thousands of dollars to get back on the road and is still undergoing repairs, i lost my house before all this and have moved to a homeless support unit also stayed in crisis motel type place and have been moved again into a different crisis housing place, i have lost my job and am struggling too survive, my children are the reason i carry on.
But yet since my long-term partner and father to my three children has left, i am plagued by crows, they turn up at parks where i take my children on weekends, beaches, home, even at petrol stations i see them everywhere and cant help but think there must be some sort of link.
Anyone with information please feel free to contact me via email cathleah82@gmail.com
I am keen for answers or ideas, the bad luck i have suffered over the past year has a reason or meaning behind it and i am determined to understand and learn more about it.
thank-you

Well there’s a bunch of crows where I live in south Texas.
Yesterday on the top floor of a parking garage (9floors) a women committed suicide. My friend & I had just parked, saw the woman on the ledge when out of no where a black crow flew in front of our car causing us to look the other way. He perched next to our car on the ledge and stared at us. I asked him if a black crow meant somethings bad’s about to happen. He said “Yeah, only if there’s one”. We jumped out of our car, but she had jumped right when that crow landed 3′ from our car. I’m a believer.
