'''Crows''' were an [[Earth]] [[species]] of [[bird]], described by the [[Fifth Doctor]] as "harbingers of doom".

The [[Twelfth Doctor]] claimed that crows were able to talk to humans, but they eventually ceased this when humans stopped having intelligent conversations with them.

When [[Kar]] sacrificed herself to be a keeper of the gate, her brother [[Ban]] told the crows her name. As a result, the cawing sounds that would become well known in the following centuries originated out of remembrance of Kar.
