How do birds stay warm in winter? With their downy feathers, of course — but a cozy scarf can’t hurt, either. Includes my curious discoveries on the back of each card. Blank inside.
Text on the back of this card:
How do you tell a raven from a crow? I regularly have to look this up since the specifics escape me.
Identity confusion is not a new thing for raven and crow. There’s a fable where Crow tries to mimic Raven (of whom she is jealous), with the moral being don’t try to be someone you’re not. A good thing for me to remember, along with don’t fall for flattery (The Fox and the Crow) and use your brains more than your brawn (The Crow and the Pitcher).
And actually, there are ways to tell the difference (at least, the internet says there are). The tail feathers are one clue. Flying crows spread their tails in a rounded fan, while ravens’ are a diamond shape. Plus, ravens have scruffier feather poufs over their noses.
Oh, and also... crows sometimes wear scarves.
