The Raven, the Rook and the Crow
Cousins in flight
The skies their place
Black and grey plumage
With a different face
This genus Corvus
The colour of night
Passerine order
A wonderful sight
A pest to many
Nuisance to lambs
Natural progression
In natures plans
As we roamed the lands
Viewed these birds
Helped their demise
Incredibly absurd
Colonisation has rid
These important birds
From the following islands
The sadness incurred
New Zealand, Hawaii
And Greenland too
They are called a murder
Does that remind you!
