Corvus brachyrhynchos
(Common Crow, American Crow)

NOTE: These are mesh birds so you must have a mesh enabled viewer to use them.

These mischievous Crows make great SL companions. Send them off to forage for peanuts (and sunflower seeds if you have a CKit Bird Feeder!) or take advantage of a sudden rain shower and let them take a bath!

Included in the crate are a Basic Crow (he has the lowest LI and script impact of the Crows) that can either be left rezzed in-world (controlled by your HUD), or attached to your shoulder; and the regular Crows, one for your other shoulder, and another that sits on your left hand.

Rez a CKit Perch and send your Crow to it. Touching the post of the Perch will make it look like a dead branch. Rez several, attach them to trees and you can go on your own "hawk walk" with your Crow going from branch to branch! Bedtime? Send your Crow to a Perch, then touch his body to make him go to sleep (touch him again to wake him up). Use one of the included HUDs and have him follow you, go to another perch, or come back to you.

If you let your attached Crow fly at random, he will spy a stray peanut near-by and fly off, then return on his own, or have him only fly up when you touch his head. You can make him go to sleep, rename him, etc. Sound can be turned off and on and Bonus sounds are included. Target someone and have a particle battle, or just poof Crows while your Crow dances with you. He also has a pose menu for photo opportunities.

The Crows are resizable (the large size should be closer to a Raven in size) and can be renamed. The petting menu has an options menu that allows you to change the petting animations to better fit your avatar.

The hold animation for the hand-held Crow uses priority 6 so you shouldn't have any problem with conflicting AOs (if you do, you can also set a timer). If you're riding a ~*Water Horse*~ QuarterHorse or Belgian, there is an option in the Crow's menu to hold the reins in your right hand while holding the bird on your left. Using the Crow's ride animation will allow your avatar to use the random ~*Water Horse*~ petting animation. (using the HUD's animation will override the petting and is not recommended) If you ride a Warmblood or Clydesdale you don't need the ride animation as you will already be holding the reins in your right hand.

Included in the Crate is a Bonus Gift, Fitted Bento Mesh Gloves (male and female sizes) with a HUD. The HUD does everything the original HUD does plus has Bento animations in it and can be used to retexture or alpha the gloves.

You can see the Crows using the bird feeders in the garden outside the shop in Ezquerra. (they also eat from a couple of other sources there that will be available in the future ;) )

The best crow pet in SL
full star full star full star full star full star Posted August 28, 2018 by Demonica Nightingale

I saw someone with this (Rick Daylight... thanks for taking the time to talk to me) and had to have my own crow!

There's just nothing else like it. With regards to the previous reviewer's comments on the animations: this is really about the best you can do in SL without going animesh. Now that would be good, but until one comes out this is as good as it gets.

Quite nice overall
full star full star full star full star empty star Posted September 25, 2017 by Estamation Huntress

The shape of the mesh is well done, so is the texture. Visually, it definitely looks like a crow from all angles. The sound quality is pretty good, although I've heard better crow sounds, but that's really me being REAAAAALLY picky. The HUD is pretty intuitive and a note card with instructions is very helpful explaining further. Love the rain effect and the peanuts. It actually pulls out the peanuts out of the shells that get rezzed, pretty cool. After playing with it, I can say it's awesooooome. Minus the thing I'm about to say below.

The biggest thing that disappointed me was the animation of the crow. The movement is pretty janky and it kills the realism. I don't know how difficult it is to animate objects in SL, but it'd be nice for it to be better. Due to this, sometimes I think something is broken with the bird when it moves once very second rather than a smooth transition in the movement. Maybe it'll be better in the future updates, who knows. And no, I probably can't do it better, I can only see it how it could be better. This is what happens when you study animation. @_@

This is fantastic
full star full star full star full star full star Posted September 23, 2017 by BrianTopp

I had a snake pet for a while that i would have around my neck but I wanted something more. This pet is in it's own definition is well worth every linden. I thought i would get a shoulder pet with basic head movement but the endless features just made me add to every outfit.

Thank you.

Exactly what I was after
full star full star full star full star full star Posted July 10, 2016 by c130563

Great look and easy to use. I wanted birds with no sound, but this crate has both.
Lands exactly where it should on my avatar. Couldn't have asked for more.

there is a lot of option with this realistic crow. Perfect for the RP. 650 isn't expensive for this quality.
