frequency below 20 hertz. Such sound waves travel further than usual, penetrating through surfaces. Such a roar literally makes the earth shake and the body tremble. Savannah is ideal for such a signal; low frequencies diverge further and are less lost in the hot air and grass. With an otherworldly roar, birds announce the boundaries of their possessions for hundreds of meters around. In many traditions in eastern and southern Africa, the horned raven is perceived as a harbinger bird. His appearance or muffled voice is associated with drought and rain (yes, these are such contradictory signs), fires, war, death of leaders and major changes, which rarely promise anything good. For local peoples, the Kaffir raven is a borderline creature, almost “not from the world of the living.” Well, what misfortunes will we bring to this village this time? He is truly directly connected to the world of dead birds. I often saw them carrying dead meat. Far and long, without the slightest attempt to eat it. Sometimes several corpses of small animals can dangle in the beak at once. And still the bird walks like a courier who has already cursed his order a hundred times, but will still deliver it.

Black “suit”, unhurried gait, calm confidence, no unnecessary movements, all for the sake of family and group. This bird seems to have come out of an old movie, where the mafia walks slowly, speaks quietly and always knows where and why it is going.
