Crows need a place to nest in Dhaka

There was a time when Dhaka's residents would wake up to the cawing of crows. At dawn, crows would flock to rooftops, cornices, trees, electric poles, and wires. Among birds, the crow is the blackest, but it is very beneficial for humans and is considered the national bird of cities. Even if other birds are not as visible in urban areas, the presence of crows was always notable. Often, their harsh cawing would become a nuisance, but nowadays, crows are almost rarely seen in Dhaka city. The house crow has already disappeared, and now the common crow is also on the verge of vanishing.
