Birds are used by Indian poets to teach people some morals. Crows are very common in India from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. Tamil poet Tiruvalluvar used crow in many of his couplets in the Tamil Veda Tirukkural.

Chanakya says,
Of men, a barber is cunning, of birds it is crow, of animals it is jackal and of women it is lady gardener.
Naraanaam naapito dhuurtah pakshinaam caiva vaayasah
Catuspadaam srugaalastu striinaam dhuurtaa ca maalinii
Chankaya niti, chapter 5, sloka/verse 21
Caandaala bird
Of birds it is crow who is Caandaala (wicked), of animals it is dog, of sages it is fiery one, of all it is the one who defames.
Pakshinaam kaakascaandaalah pasuunaam caiva kukkurah
Kopii muniinaam caandaalah sarveshaam caiva nindakah
Chanakya niti, chapter 6, sloka 2
Crows eat anything
What is that which the poets do not see, women do not do, drunkards do not blurt out, crows do not eat?
Kavayah kim na pasyanti kim na kurvanti yoshitah
Madhyapaah kim na jalpanti kim na bakshanti vaayasaah
Chapter 10, verse/sloka 4
Can crow become an eagle?
One goes up by one’s qualities and not by occupying a high seat. Does a crow by sitting on top of a place turn into Garuda?
Gunairuttamataam yaati noccaira asanasamsthitah
Praasaadasikharasthopi kaakah kim garudaayate
Chapter 16, verse 6

A strange coincidence is that he and other Tamil saints mention only crowas the bird for finding the direction. It is similar to the raven of Sumerian and Biblical stories. Swami Sri Vedanta Desikan who lived around 1300 AD also sang a poem on Vishnu in Kanchipuram. He also used the same simile like Kulasekara.
