being followed/hunted

[MintyNinja]

Ravens and Crows have been known to follow sources of food. Ever drop something edible?

Personal story of my friends: Every day after he was done his shift in the kitchen he'd sneak out a bit of bread or a few fries and every day there was a large crow next to his car waiting for him. It was always the same crow, missing the same feathers and with the same white marking. It was pretty awesome.

That's really cool man...or not. Because in most cultures, a black bird following you around means your going to die soon.

Good luck with that!

You think a bird is bad? Try being stalked by this thing day and night. My life is hell .

Slenderman's in your TF2 also.

And ontopic, that's BADASS. Omen o death on your tail, just get a goth makeover or something and make it your servant.

A crow, raven, or blackbird? A crow just symbolizes bad luck, a raven is death, and blackbird means that your crops will be eaten.

im not a bird expert....whats the physical difference?

Blackbirds are smallish birds with short beaks. I do not believe they are found commonly in the United States (and I'm not going to check). Ravens and Crows look similar but Ravens have a rounded beak while Crows have a pointed beak.

The easiest way to figure this out is to see which bird is common in your area. Where I live, Ravens would be an unnatural addition but Crows are common. Crows, incidentally, are far more common than either of the other two and are incredibly intelligent.

Random event, don't think into it or get all worried. Will be a cool story and nothing more.

Probably a crow.. I have a hoard of 'em. They follow me around nearly anywhere. Pretty funny tohugh.

Isn't it a "murder" of crows when they are in a group together?

One also gets a "congress" of ravens.

Black birds, crows and ravens are all common in various parts of the United States, the primary physical differences are size, blackbirds range are generally small, crows are a midsized bird similar in body mass to say... mm a small chicken maybe, where ravens tend to be big imposing bastards.

Someone asked earlier an yes a group of crows is called a "Murder".

Finally you might have Huginn or Munnin keeping an eye on you, have you done anything to piss off Odin All Father recently?

Seriously it's just a bird, there's thousands of them, imagine seeing a squirrel constantly on your campus, there's slim to no chance it's the same squirrel but the odds are very high you'll see one almost all the time you walk around campus

So, you are being followed by a large, black bird. It's very quiet and doesn't seem to want anything with you. Since you haven't died yet, I can assume that it isn't a symbol for death. If it is a raven, then likely scenarios are 1- you are the spawn of Death and he's recognizing you. 2- the raven may believe you are dead and is waiting for you to stop moving so it can devour your flesh. 3- it's a fan of Edgar Allen Poe and is practicing scaring someone for Halloween. Seriously though, even if no supernatural forces are attached to the situation, it's a bird, so what if it's following you. Don't worry about it. What can it possibly do? Creepy, yes, a little, harming, no, not at all.

Tomato, potato, it's the same thing. I'm not that researched in the language to know what the english word for a gathering of crow is. But yea.. let me refrain a murder of crows is following me around. But usually there is 1 -2 at a time. They position themselves so that they can follow me the easiest. Pretty funny actually.
