Colin

[Simon Davey]

My daughter has adopted an injured crow. 

He loves mealworms, and has a bowl of water that he does actually drink from. 

He just mooches around the farm yard, and shelters in the barn. 

He can fly, but rather awkwardly. He does wander  off exploring and feeding at the ditch etc. 

Colin is a cool dude, although, Colin could be Colleen. 

 

Getting some rays this morning.

I knew a guy who had a crow as a kid. He told me that this crow used to fly off from their house in the middle of the morning, wing it over to the school, have a bit of a lark (or a crow) with the kid and his friends in the playground during break landing on their heads and mucking around, and then nip back home when break was over. 

Then years later I used to my GSXR to a place in Waterbeach for its MOT (they were very relaxed about exhaust noise ) and they had rook that had fallen out of a tree when it was just a fledgling. The rook would be hanging around the shop, perching on a paddock stand and looking into tool boxes, or else sat on the receptionist's arm, checking over the upcoming appointments.

Clever birds.

That's a great story, thanks @bonio

I remember the crow from Omen 2 so I'm not convinced they're that friendly to be honest.

 

Joking aside, that's a nice thing to do, I'm sure Colin appreciates it. Or Coleen.

I've rescued a few birds, the feathered kind, they are much easier to look after than the other birds.

Did you ask the crow what it identifies as? 

Could be non-binary, could identify as they/them (technically a murder).... could identify as a Macaw, or a Cow!!!!

Nope, he/she is either male or female. 

If he turns out to be trans, then still male or female. 

If he tells me he's gay, then I'm happy for him that he's able to to come out, and not live a lie. 

Whatever he/she is, I really don't care, as long as he stops going on about it.

me too. But they’re always ruined by this unfortunate recent fashion of marinading them in a lemon sauce. It should be lime!!
