They are scavenging birds, meaning they eat dead animals. If you see a raven or crow it means there is a dead body (not human) nearby. This of course made some superstition making them an omen.

The crow is part of the family Corvidae, which includes crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers; and is part of the family Corvus, which includes crows, ravens, jackdaws, and rooks. There are 40 or so species in this family, such as the Common Raven, White-necked Raven, Carrion Crow, Hooded Crow, and of course, the Jackdaw and Rook.So all these birds are considered cousins of the crow, from the colorful Blue Jay to the huge Thick-billed Raven.
