That is truly touching. The recognition and the affection and trust is amazing.
Wow, those crows are really spoiling that girl with their gifts.
If they could say shotgun there would be too many to count. Nice tie in with Boston btw...
I fed him all the Spotted Owl he could eat.

Well, I’ve enrolled Cardigan and my other cat Buttons in an English as a Second Language course, but I’ve wasted my money on those guys. They are lazy and really don’t want to pay attention.
Cats. My mother’s cat got run over, crossing a busy street to catch mice (we assumed), as was his habit. I’m sure the 5 acres our mother lived on had plenty of field mice. I ran over a cat, myself, one evening. I was driving on a black topped country road, about 50 miles an hour, and when I crested a hill, a cat dashed into the road, and under my wheels.
We have a cat. She’s a nice pet; uses her litter box, jumps up on her feeding table when she’s hungry, meows a certain way when she wants me to scratch her ears (with my feet, ONLY, if you please). But if we let her outside, which we don’t, the only thing that would prevent her from being run over, is that the speed limit is 25 mph. Cats, as well as dogs, may have varying degrees of “smart”, but no matter how old they are, most of them, if unrestrained, wouldn’t think twice about running out in the middle of traffic, if something on the other side of the street, attracted them. There ARE dogs who are trained well enough to stop on command. One of our neighbors has an unspayed cat, which has one litter of kittens after another, often in OUR detached garage. Sometimes we know nothing about it, and find a bunch of mummified kittens under something. Sometimes we see the kittens, and if she realizes it, she’ll move them. Right now, there are two of her latest litter who hang around our garage. The people who own her, obviously care nothing about her or her kittens. They could get her spayed for free, of course. Perhaps they find her behavior, when in heat, humorous. I don’t think you can make a cat do anything it doesn’t want to do. You can call that smart, or you can call it pretty stupid, depending upon what you’re trying to get it to do. Just my humble opinion.
As a boy, I'd take my BB gun into woods I used to walk to school through. Crows everywhere going to school—Not a peep when I'm carryin'...!
Shoot a crow and leave under the tree where it was killed. You won’t have another crow problem in that tree for about a month. The other crows will avoid it like the plague.
“A crow with a chainsaw is a danger to himself and others.”
Agreed. LOL!
“200 dead crows were found near Vancouver, and there was concern that they may have died from Wuhan Flu.....”
LOL. Long trip but worth it.
Caw!
That joke will murder them crows...
I had a smart Arabian horse. He used to take the dandy brush out of my hand to brush ME. Someone once commented about him that they’d never seen an animal so aware of who he was and what he wanted. If he was mad at me for some reason, he’d plant his hoof on purpose on my foot.
“Caw” Is that Bostonese for car?
Like “Do you pawk your caw in the garridge?”
:)
I’ve never seen a cat linger in a street, eat in the middle of a street or stand there stupidly like that deer I almost clipped. I realize they cross a street now and then, but they don’t like being in open spaces.
Very funny!
I think, therefore I kaw kaw!!!
Scientists can rationalize the murder of tens of millions of babies.
Thanks!
