A minaret

Bandra birds

A crow that is generally larger than the House Crow, with a relatively long daggerlike bill that is curved on the top. Entirely black with a variable amount of glossiness, they are primarily scavengers that feed on carrion, leftover food from humans, and also steal food from other birds. Their call is more raucous and harsher than the House Crow.

On a wing and a prayer

The crow hung on a wing and a prayer. His prayers were answered as the Mumbai Fire Department boys vroomed in to rescue him. They got him off the tree and took him to the Veterinary Hospital for treatment.
