A crow swooped down. \u201cOh hell,\u201d she thought, expecting carnage, because crows are opportunists. But the crow chipped at the ice with its beak until the duck was free.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Idk of this counts but a few crows saved me from a magpie swooping attack once ,they\u2019re bros who can tell when magpies are being unreasonable and need to chill<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I love crows so damn much. When I was fifteen, I hit a pretty serious bout of depression, to the point I was in my room for months. Well, a family of crows made a nest in a tree outside my window. There were two parents and two chicks. One chick was healthy and strong. One was weak, and had a caw like something being strained. It sounded more like a rooster crowing and so my parents jokingly named him \u2018Buck\u2019.Well\u2026 months passed and Buck\u2019s sibling was taught to fly. His parents focused on the sibling because the sibling was strong. The father stayed behind to try and teach Buck, but I saw him try to fly, fail, and crash to the floor. His father helped him back up into the tree.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, I would watch Buck from my window until one day I opened it and started talking to him. He was small and gangly and he couldn\u2019t caw right. His feathers were all over the place and I felt a kinship. So I made a deal with him. I told him that if he could do it, if he could fly, then I could find the strength to get up. Well\u2026 near the end of the season, after talking with him every day, I finally saw him get out of the nest. He went to the edge of his branch, braced himself, and jumped\u2026 and just before he hit the ground, he <i>soared<\/i>\u00a0back up into the sky. I cheered harder than I ever had before.<\/p>\n<p>That winter, Buck left the area. I was crestfallen. I felt like I\u2019d lost a friend. But I was so damn proud of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cut to the next spring? I\u2019m walking up the driveway one day when suddenly I hear a sound\u2026 a broken caw. I look up, and Buck is sitting in a tree above my head. He stared at me and puffed his feathers, then hopped down in front of me and cawed again. I was so damn thrilled, and I told him how proud I was of him. He ruffled his feathers and then soared off into his old tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That summer? I heard two broken caws. One from Buck\u2026 and one from his chick.<\/p>\n<p>Cut to ten years later? We have a family of crows who all have a very distinct caw and they come here and spend every spring, summer, and fall on our property. Buck still greets me every spring.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>that last reply made me wanna cry. that\u2019s so beautiful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I admit it\u2026 I cried \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a class=\"tumblelog\" href=\"https:\/\/tmblr.co\/msCyJ_RMlJ_es3K6fZJ2H_g\" target=\"_blank\">@azzyfree<\/a> you like crows so here ya go<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>schillerama: druiddaydreams: aph-romania: reallymisscoffee: dansknapp: stultiloquentia: doctormemelordmd: fangirling-so-hard-rn: Crows are scaryThey use tools Can be taught to speak (like parrots) Have huge brains for birds like seriously their brain-to-body size ratio is equal to that of a chimpanzee They vocalize anger, sadness, or happiness in response to things they are scary smart at solving puzzles &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/2016\/06\/21\/schillerama-druiddaydreams-aph-romania\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1413,4],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95998"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95998"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96000,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95998\/revisions\/96000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
