This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone takes away from the poor or weak (represented by crows) to benefit the rich or powerful (represented by eagles).

This expression is used to describe a significant achievement, a grand success, or the act of establishing one's authority or presence in a difficult-to-reach place.
