It is unlucky -
"To see a raven hovering over a house is ominous of evil.
For rooks to desert their rookery without any apparent reason. This forebodes ill-luck to the owners of the property. The heir will be kidnapped, or lost, and until the rooks return to their quarters, will not be brought back."
Hewett 1900
