Bellin-bellin the musk crow had charge of the winds in the tradition of the Kulin peoples, keeping the whirlwinds shut up in his skin bags. When Bunjil had finished his work of creation and taught the Kulin the arts of life, he told Bellin-bellin to open his bags; the musk crow loosed a terrific whirlwind which swept Bunjil and all his people up to the sky-country, where they remain as stars, Bunjil still looking down on the Kulin. Bellin-bellin is a distinct being from Waang the crow, the moiety ancestor, and appears in both William Thomas's account printed by Brough Smyth and the version Howitt obtained from the Wurundjeri.
