I don't think they would know what a crow was or have the same or any term at all for a crow. (Evolution isn't that fast, ya know? Crows still existed 5000 years ago.) (I know that, I'm not stupid. But would our characters really know? Maybe Homeworld and such would know, but this people who have never left the planet and such... And there's the possibility of it being a Twin Earth...which means no crows.

Also, I'm christian. sshhhhhh.) (Bro, I'm just going with what's more convenient here. It's more convenient for both the writer and reader to just say "crow", rather than write a long and boring alternative to a crow that in the end serves the exact same purpouse as its counterpart.

Also, that's why I chenged the word "evolution". Shhhhh...) (You could have just said in parentheses THE FIRST time that it wasn't really a crow, just that you were saying it for convenience.

But honestly, I'd prefer to write the long and boring counterpart, but that's just me.)
