Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Sign for the Choughs A name which describes several members of the crow family, but usually applied to the red-legged crow which frequents the sea-cliffs in many parts of Britain, especially Cornwall. A chough also occurs as part of the Cornish arms and in other coats of arms.

The spirit of King Arthur is said to have entered into a chough after his death.

The bird is also said to have been a Royalist symbol during the Civil War.
