This video showing the gathering of crows at nightfall at the University of Washington, Bothell. The experience of seeing large numbers of crows gathering to roost is quite spectacular.
John Marzluff, a professor of Wildlife at the university explains that the crows use the rustling sound of the willows to warn against predators at night. The crows at the University of Washington, Bothell actually roost in a nearby restoration area in northern Seattle.
In Christianity, the crow is also seen as an unlucky omen. In the Bible, if a crow is crying in a tree, it foretells of either death or a great change in someone’s life. The crow is also a symbol for sin or evil in general due to its association with symbols like death. Dreaming of a flock of crows attacking a person you know indicates that you will make a wrong decision or that a neighbor will be in serious financial. Roost have been observed to happen in both rural areas and in cities. In Christianity, the crow is a reminder of Jesus’ death on the cross. While most roosts number in the hundreds or even thousands, one survey done in 1971 estimated a roost a Fort Cobb, Oklahoma to be two million (Gerald Iams, 1972, State of Oklahoma Upland Game Inventory W-82-R-10). With larger roosts, crows may be spread out over many trees in a clustered area. Crows will find their sleeping spot on branches on the tree. Playing, fighting, and foraging for food are all activities that occur during this period.Īs night begins to descend, the crows will start to move from their spots to the actual roosting spot or spots for the night. This period is a noisy time, with plenty of crows cawing as they jostle each other. The main idea is that you will get to know something new this knowledge might be important for your spiritual journey A flock of crows can also mean making new friends or going on a trip somewhere. As the light of the day begins to weaken, crows start to gather near their roosting spots. When you see a flock of crows, it symbolizes new and interesting opportunities.
