This association with death led people to believe crows portended disaster.
The all-black feathers probably didnât help. Folklore and superstitions further fueled the belief.
One folktale tells how crows form a parliament to decide the fate of a member of the flock.
Should the verdict be unfavorable, the parliament will set upon the lone crow.
Thereâs also the Irish mythological figure Morrigan (or Morrigu),
who is associated with war, death, and doom and appears as a crow.
It isnât hard to see how someone thought a âmurder of crowsâ would be appropriate.

The MorrĂgan or MĂłrrĂgan, also known as MorrĂgu, is a figure from Irish mythology.
The name is MĂłr-RĂoghain in Modern Irish, and it has been translated as "great queen" or "phantom queen".

The MorrĂgan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death, or victory in battle.
In this role she often appears as a crow, the badb.[1]
She incites warriors to battle and can help bring about victory over their enemies.
MorrĂgan encourages warriors to do brave deeds, strikes fear into their enemies,
and is portrayed washing the bloodstained clothes of those fated to die.[2][3]
She is most frequently seen as a goddess of battle and war
and has also been seen as a manifestation of the earth - and sovereignty-goddess,[4][5]
chiefly representing the goddess's role as guardian of the territory and its people.[6][7]
