Touching and facinating submitted by marielle on June 23, 2011, 10:13pm I absolutely loved this book. This is a non-fiction story about a woman who keeps corvids- a rook, a magpie, and a crow- as pets. Along the way you learn about the science and folklore surrounding this intelligent family of birds. <i>Corvus</i> will turn any cat or a dog person into a bird person too.
