Raven Puns

Crowded

An Edgar Allen Poem.

"Never mind."

It’s imPOEsible to tell

Thought it was Corvid-19, but then bird flu away. Think I will see him nevermore.

So I guess the difference is a matter of a pinion.

Because each starts with an e and ends with an e.

The big ones at the end of the wing. These feathers are called pinion feathers. A crow has sixteen.

So, the difference between a crow and a raven is only a matter of a pinion.

A crowbar

He was a Poe source of information.

...they hang out in crowbars.

I'd say it's got it's crows and caws.

I continued, "Therefore, it's just a matter of a pinion."

It was in Poe taste.

Broth, the raven, nevermore

A good friend told me a story once. When she was a kid her family would often go to zoos and museums while on vacation. They were in the aviary on one of those visits looking at birds. My friend saw a crow asked the zookeeper a question. "What's the difference between a raven and a crow?" The zookeeper looked at her, smiled and started to answer. "Have you ever heard of a pinion feather?" he said. "Pinions are the the feathers at the tip of a bird's wing that allows it to fly. They are also the ones that people will trim to prevent birds from flying away. Crows have 5 pinion feathers while ravens have 6. So, if you think about it, it's really just a matter of a pinion."

To this day, my friend and her family don't know the real answer to "What's the difference between a crow and a raven?" They are wonderful and intelligent people, but they subscribe to a particular brand of ignorance where a good pun is better than actual knowledge. They call it punorance.

Edgar Allan Poe wrote on both.

In other words, a conspiracy of ravens premeditated a murder of crows.

Crowded

These are the big ones at the end of the wing, also called pinion feathers. A crow only has 16 of them. So the difference between a crow and a raven is only a matter of a pinion.

Well you see, a Crow has 4 pinion feathers on their wings while a Raven has only 3. So really, it's just a matter of a pinion.

me: um...

dad: it's a matter of a pinion!
