Smart crows!

I have the very best pets! Crows! They come to visit me each morning and each afternoon and see if I have given them a few treats. If I walk out they greet me with a “Caw, caw, caw.” Translated that means, “ Hey, here’s the old woman again! She may have food!”

Crows mate for life, so the books say, and I seem to have three that stay close to my house. The third one may be a slightly slow one who can’t attract a mate. Anyway, they love me and I appreciate their lack of required care.

Today was my birthday which I always keep secret but my daughter, who talks a bit much, spread it around. I received so much attention that I may have another one soon!

But back to my crows…..

I wake up at 5:00 am and gather the newspapers and read the news until daylight. This morning was no different. I was reading the paper when it became almost daylight. I looked out the window and saw a strange sight. There was something standing upright in the grass with a little glitter ribbon on it. It looked like a bottle of wine. I walked out to see what it was!

There was a bottle of bourbon named “OLD CROW!”

Now I have always heard that if crows like you they will bring you gifts! So here was my gift!!!!

I told my daughter what they’d done! She said that SHE had put the gift out there! She had gotten out of bed at 5:00 am, sneaked behind our house, and delivered the bottle to me for my birthday.

Shame! I always asked her to be truthful and here she’s claiming the OLD CROW bottle was from her!! I believe it was the crow’s gift to me. How they got it from the liquor store to my house may be a mystery but crows are smart!! Very smart!!

Can you believe my daughter is trying to claim credit for my gift from my crows? I may have to disinherit her!

AND THANKS TO ALL WHO WISHED ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

What a great story AND a fun gift, Barbara. Happy Birthday.

When I was a kid we DID have a pet crow named Joe. My parents kept his feathers trimmed and he hopped around outside and also came in the house to roost especially when the weather was bad.

Good morning Barbara. Crows are smart, special and vindictive too. I was once attacked after a puppy found one in my yard.
