CAW! CAW!; or, The Chronicle of Crows (Esprios Classics): A Tale of the Spring-time

"The farmer heard the cawing sound, And sent to all his neighbours round, Begging of them every one To bring a rifle or a gun, If they would come the sport to see Of shooting at the rookery; And try to check the rural pest, Which did the country so infest, And stop the robbery of corn, Which was no longer to be borne."
