Somebody please explain me the meaning of the title

What does "Kauwboy" mean? It certainly sounds a lot like "Cowboy" but this movie hasn't got anything to do with cowboys. Is it a dutch word that means something I'm missing?

The bird in the movie is a Kauw, some sort of Raven I guess.
So losely translated the title just means 'Boy with the Raven'.

Kauwboy has no slang meaning.
