## Description

Add a flying Black Crow to any page of your WordPress website.

This plugin uses simple CSS Animation to overlay a flying black bird on any page
of your WordPress installation that includes the html code detailed in our [Black Crow Plugin Documentation](https://consultantsussex.com/black-crow/).

### Display Flying Bird

Add the flying Black Crow to your WordPress website using the shortcode **[blackcrow]**.

Or…

Insert the following script on any page you want to show the flying bird:

    ```
    <div class="bird-container bird-container--one">
    <div class="bird bird--one"></div></div>
    ```

This is a great plugin for wildlife websites or those with a mystical or gothic 
theme.

A really simple and tasteful effect. Can only get it working on Chrome though. Otherwise
5/5.
