Oooh sorry I didn't see this thread before. I've had similar things in the past...it's important to note from a completely non-metaphysical viewpoint that crows are very intelligent and curious creatures, and very attached to their own territory, so it could be they have "moved in" and are sussing out whether you are a threat, possible source of food, whatever. For example, we had some who would watch for when the dog food went out but the dog went in and then hop down and have a feed

The other thing is that the symbology of crows (and ravens, because they could actually be ravens) is that they tend to be viewed as messengers from spirit, and not necessarily "bad omens". They also govern things like exploring the hidden realms, shapeshifting (in a shamanic sense), and altered consciousness. It's up to you to explore intuitively whether you feel the universe is urging you to "pay attention" to something at this time (information coming) or whether it's just a natural occurence.
Thanks MD - i thought about the food source but our dogs leave nothing for anyone lol - and these crows/ravens are only there in the mornings between 7-8am not at any other time of the day....there is something i should be paying attention to, but i admit ive been hiding away from it, so maybe they are urging me to not put my head in the sand

Crows in some traditions/histories are holders of souls who have passed. Are there parents/grandparents that have passed in your family?

Funny you should mention that Sodpet- both my parents have passed, my mum 21 years ago and my dad in January last year.....so maybe its them - i have been looking for signs that they are around me and it did cross my mind that it could be them, but then being crows/ravens i wasnt sure what to think


THANK YOU to both of you for your input - its given me some things to think about
