Thousands of crows mysteriously gather at a Japanese island near Kyoto; video goes viral

Japan: Thousands of crows were spotted flying over the sky in Honshu, Japan, and making it to the streets of the Japanese island near Kyoto. A viral video being shared by multiple users on social media shows the birds flooding the streets of Honshu island in a mysterious way.

The cause behind the crowds gathering in large numbers is unknown, however, some reports suggest that such instances can hint at natural disasters such as earthquakes.
