Corvus corax

The black crow of the Canaries.

As the historians testify, the damage these creatures caused to sowing.

Even today, they are accused of attacking and killing kids, eating partridge eggs, chasing rabbits, ruining fruits, corn, grapes; to steal chickens and hens.

The latest censuses show how real these persecutions are. Only in the islands of Fuerteventura and El Hierro survive a population of about 100 couples. In others, it seems that the crows are about to become extinct.
