it was found nesting in trees all over england and was looked upon as a bird which portended death if it settled on or croaked over a dwellinghouse in denmark to this day it is believed that if one of these darkplumaged birds is seen in a village the priest will die in ether parts of the continent the souls of the damned are supposed to enter into the bodies of ravens while priests who do not do their duty while on earth are thought to fsturn after death in the form of these birds there is an old country saying that if rooks desert their rookery the owner of the estate will die soon
