Ravens

You can find ravens almost everywhere on the planet. They are highly adaptable and feed on almost anything, insects, seeds and fruits, carrion and small rodents.

They are known to be crafty: They have been watched carrying nuts to a busy street, letting them fall down on the tarmac. When cars pass over the nuts the nuts are cracked. The ravens come down when they see it safe and pick up the open nuts.

Besides being symbols of wisdom, trickery and mischief, ravens have been symbols of death and the afterlife: Some people think that something will happen to a member of the familiy or a dear friend if you see ravens flying over you.
