• When they shift, they are enveloped in black smoke.

• Crows in human form usually wear all-black clothing with black feathers.

• "One for Sorrow" is a traditional children's nursery rhyme about magpies. According to an old superstition, the number of magpies one sees determines if one will have bad luck or not. The magpie is considered a bird of ill omen in some cultures. The verse was first recorded in England around 1780:

One for sorrow,

Two for mirth,

Three for a wedding,

And four for death.

• In Norse mythology, Huginn and Muninn are a pair of ravens that fly all over the world, Midgard, and bring information to the god Odin. Huginn and Muninn's role as Odin's messengers has been linked to shamanic practices, the Norse raven banner, general raven symbolism among the Germanic peoples, and the Norse concepts of the fylgja and the hamingja. The names of the ravens are sometimes modernly anglicized as Hugin and Munin.

• There are many references to ravens in legends and literature. Most of these refer to the widespread common raven. Because of its black plumage, croaking call, and diet of carrion, the raven has long been considered a bird of ill omen and of interest to creators of myths and legends. To the Germanic peoples, Odin was often associated with ravens. In later Norse mythology, Odin is depicted as having two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, serving as his eyes and ears – Huginn being referred to as thought and Muninn as memory. Ravens play important roles in Greek and Irish mythology. In religious beliefs, ravens are mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible; a raven is mentioned in the Qur'an; and in Hinduism crows represent omens and some Hindu figures. Ravens also appear in the mythology and shamanic tradition of some indigenous people.

• Crows and ravens are similar but not identical species.
