October is a fun time to learn about crows, whether you celebrate
Halloween, or harvest time. Crows, (and their nearly
identical cousin, the raven) are found throughout the United
States are very interesting birds. Have fun exploring the website
links at the bottom of the page, and talking with children about
this unique bird!
Two Big Crows
(finger play)
Two big crows, sittin’ in a tree
(hold
index fingers in front for birds)
Talkin’ to each other and
talkin’ to me
(bend fingers
to each other, then to yourself)
Caw, caw, caw
One flew away, the other did
too
( hide one hand behind
back, then the other)
Come back crows, I’m a ‘talkin’ to you
(bring hands back out in front)
Caw, caw, caw
Big Black Crow
Big black
crow, sittin’ in a tree
What are you squawkin’ ‘bout, won’t you tell me
Caw, caw, caw
Every day
it’s the same old song
Are you hopin’ I can sing along with you
Caw, caw, caw
Way up high
in the old oak tree
Your shiny black feathers are clear to see
You’re bigger and louder than all the rest
You must think you’re the very best
Big black
crow, you’re a noisy bird
You sing the loudest song that I ever heard
Caw, caw, caw
