Generally positive. According to folklore from the past, the bird used to have silver-white feathers, kind-hearted and intelligent bird. It also used to have beautiful voice. It became black and has ugly cawing call because of betrayal and sabotaged. Poor bird.

We usually see it as an ugly bird with an ugly voice. We also have the idiom "Qisek ċawla", which means "You're like a crow"; used to describe someone who keeps talking and talking without stopping.

The ancient norse considered it to be a sign of Odin being close. A messenger of some sort, if you will.
Today it's just some bird lol.
William White
I don't know honestly
Jeremiah Wilson
To elaborate, Odin had two ravens, Hugin and Munin. His eyes and ears on Midgard, the world of man.

Eats other birds eggs, ruins bird diversity.

Cool. And I read old European stories about crow or raven is the side kick of the witch and wizard?

Highly intelligent. The best corvids. Norwegians eat them though, which is just nasty.
Andrew Collins
>Norwegians eat them
I can never tell with you. Do Swedes actually think that we eat these birds, söta bror?
Luke Cook
Very intelligent beings. They also remember you and thank you for helping them.
If you crack open walnuts for them regularly, they will bring you shards and shiny things like that.

I once saw a tame crow on a school field–trip when I was ~11 years’. it took food from its keeper’s hand and would allow him to stroke.

damn. It can fish using a bait too.

I had some sort of pet crow a few years ago. I would always feed it at the same time, and after a few days it always came at exactly the same time waiting for food. It let me pet it after a while. Bird feathers are really soft.
Smart birds, but a bit noisy.

Long ago, in Japan, crows were sacred birds which carry spirits.
And crows were birds showing favorable sign.

they're considered smart, but more in a cunning way
they mess up trash bags and wander in graveyards to eat offerings
Julian Sanchez
They are smart. In old tradition, they are seen as gods here, or gods who travel to another place. Gods used to be able to transform into crows and travel faster.
Brody Jones
Also, they helped people to find a way out of the forest when you are lost. They sign you the way to the next open field. They are wise birds.

Yes he is almost the sidekick of a wizard, or Witchs turn into them.
In Portugal there is a legend from the Muslim Reconquista, where our King was defending a castle from Spaniards Castilians, and legend says in the darkest time a crow sat down on the walls and started trashing against the invaders as if trying to shout them off.
It reinvigorated Portuguese defenders and the siege was won.
Its still featured in the City symbol today.

Depends on the type of crow. We don't get normal carrion crows in Ireland but rooks, jackdaws, magpies, ravens and scald crows are common.
Scald crow is associated with the war-goddess Morrigan, and if there are a lot of scald crows it was an omen for war. They were also associated with fairies and peasants would leave offerings for them

my friend had a pet jackdaw. He would fly onto your shoulder and dance on your head. You could take him on your arm like a falcon and throw him at people and he would fly at them.
Ryder Walker
It is called "the bird of misfortune"
Kevin Nguyen
why?

ravens are universally respected, although they're also seen as edgy and a bit spooky (mostly in folklore).
crows (more specifically eurasian hooded crows), however, are usually seen as something closer to pests. both crows and magpies have a bit of a stigma to them because they raid other birds' nests, and there are (baseless) rumours that songbird populations are declining because of magpies and crows. they're usually tolerated, though, and all the recent popsci coverage about their intelligence has made the public more positive towards them, at least in the cities.
