When I think of birds and Halloween, there are two that come to mind more readily than any others: the Raven and the Crow. The Raven is famously eerie in part because of it’s role in Edgar Allen Poe’s famous poem called, The Raven. The credit for the famous eeriness of the crow comes, I believe, from Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, The Birds.
The Raven
They are both great candidates, but if I have to choose one, I must go with the Raven. It is bigger, and has more of an ominous presence than the common crow.

This particular Raven is made of polymer clay, and is 1 and 7/8th inches long and 7/8th of an inch tall. He takes Halloween quite seriously, so you’d better watch out!!!

Hi Stacy! I’ll try and remember to at least do the group photo at the end of the year. I’ll have to ponder the book idea. I’ve given it some thought already. . . guess I’ll give it some more thought.
I Love all the birds this year. I am hopeing you are going to make a book out of this series or show us details on how I can try to bribe my daughter Jessica to make them for me. You are so amazing and funny. Dont stop ever! I hope at the end of the year you will take a group photo of the birds and show them beside a book so I can see their actual small size.
