The nickname for people from South Australia is "crow eaters". It is not known when or how this term came about, and it is interesting to note that the original "crow eaters" were those from Western Australia.
One possible theory for the origin of the name appeared in the Register, a southern publication, on 6 February 1925. It read:
[It] was first applied to some of the original settlers at Mount Barker who - whether from necessity or a desire to sample strange native fauna - killed, cooked and ate some crows disguised under the term "Mount Barker pheasants"... Later the term... was applied generally to all.
