Comments on the clue
1.I was going to give 5 points – until I noticed the 'r' of coRvus is not clued! So just a merit for a good idea.
2.NO- you have clued CORUS
3.Faulty acrostic I'm afraid.
4.Almost a good clue, but for the lack of a whole word.
5.Missing "R" word.
6.Definition fine. Unfortunately wordplay leads to COVUS
7.What happened to the R?!
8.You missed the R
