I saw an omen! A murder of crows sitting on the roof of a church cawing harshly; could this mean something?

By the way, a group of crows really is called a murder of crows…

Update:

I thought it might be because crows are carrion eaters and they're waiting for religion to die before feasting on the corpse...

    Someone doesn't like crows.

    Shadowless & Rebecca are absolutely right. I can acknowledge this since I m going through one awful experience at the moment. Every time I step outside my house to take a stroll I get a barrage of rude caws from this one crow, which I ticked off apparently when I got too close to it s chick (that fell off it s nest) a couple of years back. My curious advances towards the baby seemed violent/frightening enough that the parent took me as some serious threat. Ever since that incident I get a nasty treatment from this crow every year when the breeding season sets in. The moment I m caught walking about he bullies me around till I get back in my house or I had left the place. Mind you he d harass me for hours on end that I gave up on earning his trust, ever.

    I doubt it. Crows spend most of their time sitting on roofs and cawing harshly. The fact that several of them happened to be doing so on a church is not really significant.

    Maybe...But then again i went to look around a house once- it was surrounded by a forest and there were crows circling the top of the house like in horror movies......When we were inside a phone started to ring that wasnt ours or the estate agents, he said there were no phones in the house..............

    My grandparents then bought the house cause they thought it was cool ( and they are nutters).

    And heres the best part: it actually happened : )

    It means walk fast when exiting the Church, to keep the crow p**p off you.

    A blind wave falls from grace

    Touched by a dark angel's embrace

    And with their black feathered wings unfurled

    They came and rid ignorance from this world

    (Carn the Crows!!!... even though their season is fckd! But it can't rain all the time...!)

    they were expressing themselves ! Crows always caw harshly.

    Please get real and do something worthwhile like watching clouds or something, less stressful !

    It means the crows were standing on the church roof - they have to stand somewhere, right?

    Does it mean anything?

    Yes, the church will have crow poop on their roof now.

    It means they want to stop and rest.

    Honestly, I don't understand why every religious Christians on Earth hate crows. Mine got shot by my Christian Neighbor.

    Yes, why, only this morning I myself saw a piteousness of doves, a convocation of eagles, a wisp of snipes and a mustering of storks.
