Oh, I was chatting to one of my cousins
who was trying to explain the weirdest thing he'd eaten to a little (French) cousin. He started off saying "corbeau", but thankfully he only meant something similar, I think it was "corbin", or chough.

I got really excited when I saw Alpine Choughs for the first time
At the top of a weather station on top of the Jungfrau and all I could do was enthuse about these Choughs and take photos of them.

Wait, that sounded wrong...

_{Because I was sad enough to look these things up:
Un corbeau (grand) = a raven
Une corneille noire = a carrion crow
Un corbeau freux = a rook - quite common in France and more traditionally eaten for food
Un chacou des tours = a jackdaw
Can't actually remember what a chough is now...}

I know someone with the surname Cornell
Maybe that has more to do with Crows than I thought (i.e. not at all)

I do know a real Miss Crow, too, and I assume there is also a Mr and Mrs Crow. She's younger than me, though, so no luck there for you :P
