A few years back, the dawn in both cities and villages would commence with the presence of crows. Crows were prevalent in the bamboo gardens of the village, atop city rooftops, in roadside trees, and around marketplaces. However, this familiar sight is gradually changing. Currently, crows are not as visible as they once were, and their population is significantly declining in numerous regions. Environmentalists assert that the reduction in the crow population is not merely a crisis concerning birds; it signifies a substantial shift in the equilibrium of nature, which poses a threat to the surrounding environment. Crows serve as nature's health custodians. They contribute to environmental cleanliness by consuming dead animals, leftover food, and waste. A decline in the crow population could lead to rapid decomposition of waste in the city, resulting in the spread of pathogens, which poses risks for environmental pollution and public health.
