I was recently watching this video lecture about crows and was amazed to learn how into learning they really are. Check out the following talk given by Josh Klein, inventor of a crow vending machine...
Thinking about crows got to thinking about ravens (both are species of corvidae), which (as any person who was goth in their youth would) made me think of Edgar Allen Poe. Check out this short performance of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" by Vincent Price. Looks like it was shot on the old set on which Price shot the intros to Mystery! back in the 1980s. Whether it was or not I don't know but it's a nice bit of PBS retro...
Then if you're feeling really brave check out this live version of "The Raven" performed by the Alan Parsons Project, taken from their tribute album to Poe. The video is poor but the audio is good, if you like mid-70s prog-rock.
