House Crow

143) House Crow

The third species in Lockdown Birding. Smart and organised species, always waiting in the backyard for leftovers and scraps.

House Crow, Gagak, Corvus spendens

This species was introduced to this country in 1903 by British from Sri Lanka to control pests in coffee plantations. But it didnt workout as planned, this birds multiply beyond control and become pest itself. Now, it frequents human environment in cities, towns where it scavenges for garbage and edible leftovers. In some states, the towns councils runs shooting campaign every year, with little effect in controlling the species population levels.

 

Si bulu hitam di hutan bata

suara kasar serak jeritnya

mengintai peluang tak pernah alpa

sampah dibuang jadi habuannya

bukannya teman hanya peminta

cerminan manusia penghuni kota.
