I'll be very glad to end with the Basque "we're unique" assertion, which seem to serve no purpose other than ethnocentrism.

Bird names often imitate the sound of the bird. I would claim that this is the most plausible explanation why 'crow' has rather similar counterparts in different languages. In Finnish it is 'varis'.
