AN OLD INDIAN SAYING... IT BLACK CROWS LAND ON YOUR LAWN, DEPENDING UPON THE NUMBER, IN THAT MANY DAYS SOMEONE YOU KNOW WILL DIE... MY FATHER WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, AND THE LANDING OUT SIDE HIS ROOM (WHICH YOU COULD GO OUT ON IF WANTED) 3 BLACK CROWS WERE WALKING AROUND ON THAT LANDING, AND 3 DAYS LATER MY DAD DIED...I SAW THEM MY SELF.. I DO NOT LIKE OR WANT BLACK CROWS TO WALK ON MY LAWN, AND SINCE THAT TIME (2001) NO MORE CROWS HAVE LANDED ON MY LAWN OR AROUND A HOSPITAL WHERE SOMEONE I KNEW WAS IN THERE. SO ONLY DEATHS THAT HAVE HAPPEN (IN MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS) ARE A COUPLE OF MY "OLD" DOGS DID PASS AWAY... BUT THEY WERE VERY OLD AND HAD SOME ELDERLY AILMENTS..SO GUESS IT DON'T COUNT FOR ANIMALS.. EVEN THOUGH I CONSIDER MY PETS (DOGS AND CATS) MY FAMILY AND THEY ARE TREATED AS SUCH..
