"As the crow flies" is an idiom for the most direct path between two points. However there is no proof that crows fly in particularly straight lines.

One suggested origin of the term is that before modern navigational methods were introduced, cages of crows were kept upon ships and a bird would be released from the crow's nest when required to assist navigation, in the hope that it would fly directly towards land.
