* [http://mistholme.com/dictionary/crow/ Crow], - "It is close by default... A few heraldic depictions, particularly on the Continent, show it with hairy feathers; most others draw it sleekly feathered; but all show the crow with a long, pointed bill. A “crow speaking” or “croaking” has its mouth open as if in speech... for emblazonry purposes, all these corvids are indistinguishable; the exact term was frequently chosen purely for the sake of a cant [raven, rook, (jack)daw, corbie]... There is also the “Cornish chough” (pronounced “chuff”), in form identical to the crow, and only distinguishable when “proper”: it is then black with red beak and feet... The chough may sometimes be blazoned a “beckit” for canting purposes [Parker 136]." | * [http://mistholme.com/dictionary/crow/ Crow]], - "It is close by default...
