And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Ravens differ from crows in appearance by their larger bill, tail shape, flight pattern and by their large size. Ravens are as big as Red-tailed Hawks, and crows are about the size of pigeons. The raven is all black, has a 3.5-4 ft wingspan and is around 24-27 inches from head to tail.(http://naturemappingfoundation.org/natmap/facts/crow_vs_raven.html)
If you think Crows are only found the size of Pigeons you should visit Australia where I live in Queensland the Crows are huge. We also have something called the Little Raven and that is actually comparatively small. Nonetheless I am pretty sure the birds in the pic are ravens but I still love the joke.
A large group of crows is called a murder. So two would be a failed attempt.
