How did the climate firm?

The crow is a member of the Corvidae family, which also includes ravens, magpies, and jays. It is believed that crows evolved from a common ancestor with other members of the Corvidae family around 17 million years ago. Over time, they developed their distinctive black plumage, intelligence, and adaptability that have made them successful and widespread birds. Crows have been able to thrive in a variety of habitats and have even been known to use tools and solve complex problems, making them one of the most intelligent bird species.

According to Norse myth, the crow formed from the bodies of two dwarves, Brokkr and Sindri. The brothers had been commissioned by Loki to forge a set of magical gifts for the gods, including a golden boar, a ring, and a hammer. However, Loki sabotaged their work, and the gifts turned out flawed.

In anger, the brothers cursed Loki, saying that he would never be able to form a lasting relationship with anyone. Loki, in turn, cursed the brothers, saying that they would never be able to finish their work.

The brothers were so distraught by this curse that they turned their bodies into crows and flew away. They have been flying ever since, and they are said to bring bad luck to anyone who crosses their path.
