Inside a Murder

Some of you are still not in the Halloween spirit.
Today is the day it grips you and rips your indifference out by the throat!

"A group of crows is called a “murder.” There are several different explanations for the origin of this term, mostly based on old folk tales and superstitions.
For instance, there is a folktale that crows will gather and decide the capital fate of another crow.
Many view the appearance of crows as an omen of death because ravens and crows are scavengers and are generally associated with dead bodies, battlefields, and cemeteries, and they’re thought to circle in large numbers above sites where animals or people are expected to soon die."

Not exactly fuzzy wuzzy widdle kitties, are they?
But scary?
*Shivers*
And, a little known fact, crows have a very dry sense of humor,
 although a minimal budget for props.

To further illustrate this, we present our newest troupe of performing animals,
 The Counting Crows, to bring you 10 spine tingling examples of
