Why are crows nests called crows nests?

User Avatar

Asked by Toedancer950

Becasue a long time ago they used to carry crows on board with them so when they couldn't see the land they would send out the crow and follow it because a crow's natural instinct is to fly towards land. They would keep the crow in its cage high up on the mast and the crow would make its nest in the cage; therefore, the name crow's nest was born.

Do crows fly south in winter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

What I have witnessed is crows gathering by the tens of thousands, which they are doing now in southern Ohio. Food ofcourse is the reason any bird migrates. It would be tough going with no road kill, baby birds, or vermin to eat so it makes sense they do.

Is Crows A sign of death?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In my opinion yes. My aunt has recently died of a heart attack and for a week leading up to her death I noticed a lot of crows around. A group of about 15 when I was out walking was the most noticeable. I went to her house the day after she died and there were 3 on her roof. I made a point of looking on the roofs of all the other houses around but those 3 were the only crows around. I had never heard of this until my aunt had died and thought it was too much of a coincidence so looked it up on the internet. There are birds and crows around all the time, but there were so many crows it made me take notice. I've read a few posts on other sites which say that crows are scavengers and they may be looking for food, but my aunt lives 25 miles away and was fit and well until the day she died. I'm absolutely convinced the crows were a sign.

Then the hen is probably a rooster. He may simply be a young rooster though, that still looks hen-ish. The chance that you have a crowing hen is not very high.

Why do roosters make noise early in the morning?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Roosters crow for many reasons but most often to let his hens know where he is and where they should go for safety. They can crow for territorial reasons letting the other roosters know he is the boss and challenging the others. Sort of like this is my territory if you want it come challenge me for it. When a hen is ready to lay an egg she will cackle, instead of crow, to announce to the rooster that she wants to go to her nest. The rooster will began to cackle signaling to the hen that he is watching out for her safety so that she may proceed to the nest. When she is ready to leave the nest she will cackle to the rooster. If it is safe for her to leave the nest he will begin to cackle until she is back to safety.
