A group of crows is called a “murder.” There are several different explanations for the origin of this term, mostly based on old folk tales and superstitions. Many view the appearance of crows as an omen of death because ravens and crows are scavengers and are generally associated with dead bodies, battlefields, and cemeteries, and they’re thought to circle in large numbers above sites where animals or people are expected to soon die.
