Here is the release of the young crow today and the first picture above will be explained a bit later in the post.
Things didn't quite go as expected, but you be the judge if it was a failure, or if we were successful. One difficulty was that I have never had a trapped crow before.
Enjoy the post!

Right here was the start of the event!

Squirry was the first to say; "Now what is that"?

Robby the Robin answered; "Yay! he has bought us a new chicken"!

I placed the rescue cage on the grass and removed the roof!

Slowly tipping the cage over to level it with the ground!

Bang! Mr. Young crow popped out and I was waiting for him to fly away!

Fly? "Who wants to fly" he thought?

Jumping all over the place I pleaded with him to fly!

Right, at last, there he goes, but into the neighbor's property. Look at the back of the car.

I had to rush in there because of the cats!

Turn up the volume to hear the parents arriving in the video!

Oh! I was so glad and Marian was dancing because the crow parents came!

Crow mom appeared loudly on the roof above the youngster!

I walked away knowing that the parents would now take over.

We left to go to the local flea-market, this is also where the first photo fits in.

Also for #marketfriday hosted by @dswigle

This is why we went to the market. We bought a block of pure Glycerine soap there, which I cut into smaller blocks for our bathing needs.

Late afternoon we arrived back here and guess what we saw? Yep! Mom and young crow up on the high tree, free and wild, or is it wild and free!

A photo that made my heart skip a beat!

I cannot describe the feeling of relief that I had when I saw the picture above.
The thought about the dangers that could happen to the young crow whilst we were away kept on nagging me. A cat could have attacked him, or one of the cars in the complex could have crushed him and so I think that you can understand what a great release I felt when I saw them up there safe and sound!

Normal life, if I may call it that was soon re-established and here we have squirry with a nut and the dad crow on guard on the lamp post in the background.

Finally, late rain clouds covered the sky above while the late sun stroked the mountains!

That's all Folks!

Thank you Lady Lizelle and methinks that we all have much too serious stuff going on. That's why I post these kinds for a little bit of light.
I remember when the Loerie babies parents didn't return and how disappointed we were when they all died. It was so great to hear and see the parents that I wanted to kiss them hahaha.
Blessings!

Success for sure! I love that shot of you standing over the crow imploring him to fly, and can imagine your flapping your wings to show him how. I, like you, would have worried and been very relieved when I saw that he was safe.
Is that view of the mountains from near your house?
Very uplifting post, thank you.

Thank you and I was so desperate that I almost started preaching to that stubborn young crow my friend. His parent certainly saved the day for us.
We live in a bay that is fronted by the ocean and surrounded by the mountains close behind is. The bay looks almost like a horse shoe shape with the open part being the sea.
Blessings!

I did enjoy the story a lot and with the images, the story was complete. Cheers!

Thank you and I am glad that you enjoyed the post my friend.

You have to be happy there :-))

Oh yeah, it took us a long time to get this place as we have been moving around a lot with our charity work, but now at last we are here permanent.
And you? Are you happy at your place?

Good question. I will answer it in the affirmative. I have children and grandchildren, I have a house and free time for my favorite activities.
What else is needed for happiness? :-))

I think you and I sing the same song my friend.
I am in South Africa and where are you at?

We can say that I am in Northern Europe :-)))
My city St. Petersburg Russia

Ah! A most wonderful city my friend. I also have a few friends there.
