A (non-derogatory) nickname for an inhabitant of the state of South Australia (Australia), cf sandgroper, an inhabitant of Western Australia.
The term derives from the fact that South Australians ate crows due to poverty when the free-settled colony of South Australia was established in 1836.
The term has been borrowed and truncated in some cases - for example the football team Adelaide Crows.
