Episode notes

The origin of those names is probably very closely tied to the relationship that developed between human and crows during the em crusades. In many parts of asia, like japan, for example, these birds aren't signs of evil. The they are the birds that hold the most wisdom,. That's not the case globally. They will absolutely kill a territory intruder. And generally they try and get the bird on the ground, and then they go for the wing joints, and thenthey go for the head.

Crows have funerals? CROWS HAVE FUNERALS. The inky black bird with the big brain warns and maybe mourns around their fallen friends and Dr. Kaeli Swift is here to tell us all about it. As an avid wildlife researcher and corvid specialist, she's observed death behaviors that will shock you to your bones and ruffle your hackles -- while somehow also making you cry about peanuts. Also: so much inspiration to keep being yourself and to work hard toward what you love. She is a hero.
