Crows are great and I welcome any cool crow stories. Crow negativity will not be tolerated.
ETA: A few years back I was walking from the house to the garage when something hit me on the head. It was a chunk of bread. The weird thing was, it felt like it came straight down – the house was on my immediate left (it seemed unlikely someone from that direction threw it on a high enough arc that had an endpoint at my position), and I couldn’t see anyone in my field of view to the right of me. Sure enough, I look up and there’s a crow looking down at me from a wire. Well played, I thought.
When I was a young teen I had a pet crow back in small town Ohio. It was one smart bird every bit as intelligent as an African grey parrot. He used to perch on the back of my red wagon while I was delivering the Akron Beacon Journal, cawing and giving the blue jays hell. Long live the memory of Cassius Crow. Thanks for the post, Forgiven.
That’s a wonderful story, thanks for sharing 🙂
Here in Finland we have hooded crows, with a gray body and a black tail, wings and hood. In the front, the lower part of the hood is often reminiscent of a scarf or a tie. The crows look wonderfully pompous when they’re walking in the city with their characteristic gait, picking up morsels of food or sand.
My wife and I were in Latvia this past summer and saw tons of hooded crows. We had no idea such things existed and it totally blew our minds
