Yesterday there was a series of pictures published on the Internet about a crow hitching a ride on the back of a bald eagle.
Is that a bad omen for our country or a good sign?
Thanks!
I noticed that too. I think it depends on how you look at it. Personally, I took it as a positive sign and interpreted it as the Bald Eagle represents America and the crow symbolizes great change that is happening. The crow riding on the back of the eagle, to me, means that small change is being allowed, but it’s going to open a floodgate of spiritual growth and change for the country as a whole. This could be interpreted negatively by extremely conservative people (if they were able to read the signs) because they fear change and are terrified of changing the way things currently are. There will be a lot of resistance to all the changes coming in our society, but the crow is persistent and the time has come, it’s too late to change or alter it, and it’s meant to happen so we can grow as a united people. Just my opinion and interpretation.
I was at work awhile ago and i worked in a booth a crow was walking around me crowing,looking at me like it was speaking to me.today someone came to me to tell me a crow was hurt i went out to try to help it gave it water,and it walked away after i helped it.
I think that’s a good thing! Now that you have shown kindness to a crow, all the others will know you are a friend. Even conventional scientists don’t know how they do this, but crows are extremely intelligent, up there with cetaceans, and have an ability to recognize and remember human faces to an astonishing degree. Not only will they remember you, but ALL other crows will too, even the descendants of currently living crows and crows that live far, far away from you. They either teach each other and have very long memories or they have mystical abilities, it just depends on your perspective. You did a good thing, because once a crow has labeled you bad or dangerous, its almost impossible to gain the trust of it or any other crow, ever.
There has been a crow in my backyard for a while. I guess it couldn’t fly for some reason but I could tell that it wanted to fly away to its parents? I say parents becuase there were two crowd that kept cawing at it. I finally went in the backyard and help it crow fly off. I don’t know where it went after but I was wondering if the whole situation meant something. The crow willingly jump on my hand after a few moments of me trying to help it. I remember looming at its eyes and felt like it knew I wasn’t gonna hurt it. Is there anything behind this situation or am I just being paranoid?..
Wow! That is a huge honor, as crows are extremely picky about who they trust!

I was scared. when I’m leaving I hear again the crow . and last time I visit I see the crow again . I was so scared if something bad happen is that true? when I visit my boyfriend house and I leave . I see and I heard . is it a bad luck?

There are lots of crow in front of my house.We feed them in evening.
But when I go to balcony two crows are come to me lots of time,and they are like saying something,idk what but it feels weird to me.
First i thought that they want some water/food but,no.
They come to me and they talking in there languages,
Anyone tell me why they come to me only and what they want from me??
They probably find you the most intelligent, don’t worry be open minded and you’ll “hear” what they are saying:) you must be going through some difficult times or through a life change. Maybe you will have a dream or a vision of what path to take:) they are beautiful smart birds
thanks :)
I can’t understand what they are saying :(
They just came and speak in their language,I tried to understand but can’t understand a bit.
They went to tree and one of them is cut some leaves,what it means..
Tell me please..I’m confused
What they mean is don’t listen with your ears but with your intuition. Be open to receiving their messages and it will come to you in your “thoughts”.
I have decided to listen to my vision “I am a horse!!!!!!!!!!!”
Sometimes when I’ll go swimming I’ll try to ask the Earth something while I’m under water, a question, guidance. Today I went swimming in the sound, said some names and then asked to be shown what to do, to be shown something. As I was driving home with my friend, a bird flew right into the car. It was flying low, this happens a lot, but I have never hit one. It happened so fast and I drove around to see if it was still alive. Getting a closer look, I noticed it was a crow. It was on the side of the road, no blood, not a mark. It seemed like it hit the tire, flew off, landed on the side of the road rather than being run over. No car behind me had hit it. I took it to a park to lay it down and put flowers over it. Holding it in my hands, its eyes half open, it seemed to be looking at me. Or, I was taken back by how deep and human its eyes were. Does anyone have any insight into this?
I took the test and it said I was a crow but I had a vision about a white horse please respond to this I am so confused
This story is not about a crow but is about a raven. So my mom was golfing with her friends and when she got out of the golf cart a raven came out of the sky and lightly touched the back of her head. Her friends said it look like it was going to land on her head but didn’t. My mom said she felt something touch her but she didn’t feel the need to freak out. And then today she got a call from her moms friend saying he had a bible from her mom when she died a few years ago. My moms friends are saying its some kind of omen. Can someone please answer this we find it weird.
Crows are messengers of change, negative or positive. You will have crow encounters at times when your life is changing in some way. Your gut will tell you if it is a positive thing or a negative thing, but remember that even negative seeming change is positive in the bigger picture, because change is necessary for personal growth. If we stagnate and get stuck in a particular phase of our life and are resisting moving forward (most of us fear change) sometimes we need a spiritual kick in the pants to get us going. I also believe that, as in the experience you wrote about, you feel a connection with a specific person or their belongings, that can often mean that they are sending you a message from the other side. A symbolical acknowledgment, meant to make contact and bring comfort.
The day my sister went into labour with my nephew, I was at her house watching her step-daughter. We were sitting in the kitchen playing a game, when this massive clamour arose outside. I rushed out to see what was happening and was floored!
The half-dozen or so trees lining the road in front of her house were FILLED with at least a hundred or more crows, screeching and cawing and flitting and fighting amongst themselves. The noise was deafening and I went cold at the time, thinking they were heralding in death, and I was frightened for my sister.
I never told anyone, worried my “putting it out there to the universe” would make it come true. Once the baby and mother were home safely, I schluffed it off to silly superstition and forgot about it.
I suddenly remembered this morning, on my nephew’s 17th b-day, and decided to look it up. Now I really know it was a celebration heralding creation and life, as if our deceased Mother’s spirit was celebrating the birth of her first grandchild for all to see! Thank you for helping me to understand! Much love! <3
I had a crow walking around my garden Friday morning! I found this strange as I have tall trees near by and live on crow lane but they never come in my garden. It was so strange that I called my children to come watch it
Later that night my grandad had a heart attack and the next morning passed away
Did this mean something as it seemed so odd?
