RE: Backyard Antics 2- True stories from the peanut gallery
Hi there, @janton! I am so happy you like this post.
Do you guys have a very secluded backyard so that all these animals feel safe?
Not really secluded enough for me ;) It is fenced and we do have a lot of hardwoods that the squirrels nest in. The doves and cardinals also live in one of the trees. The crows must live in the area but don't live in my yard.
I did a post awhile back on how intelligent crows are so your experience goes along with that perfectly.
Clyde came back for a visit yesterday and today :) He was alone again but calling out to his tribe. They never called back or came. I love the crows - they are super cool birds. I've been thinking of putting a basket of goodies out there for them since they like shiny objects and little trinkets :) I would be beside myself if they would leave a gift back - Can you imagine?!
And Lady Hawk, how magnificent. And all the others too, what tremendous relationships you have going on there! It's inspiring really.
Yes, Lady Hawk is AMAZING. I absolutely love animals and feel very connected to them. Always have.
howdy again youhavewings! so good to hear back from you...I did a post about that little girl who started feeding the crows and they always bring her little gifts in exchange for the food, did you see that story on the news?
Amazing. They're so much more intelligent than we ever thought.
great job on this post, maybe curie will pick it up!
I'll have to go back and see your post, @janton. I think I know the little girl you're speaking of though? The crows started leaving her little gifts which she saved and on one afternoon, miles away, the mother and daughter were doing some photography and the mother lost her lens cap and the crows brought it back to her at her house? Is that the story? There's another story that I like with a crow named Canuk in Canada :) They can talk, too! I just love them. Can you tell? haha
haha! howdy youhavewings! yes I can tell and everyone else would love them if they knew how smart and how good a memory they have.
I'm not familiar with the lost lens story but that's incredible!
Did you ever write about the Canuk story? I haven't heard about that one.
