Gosh, i had somehow skippped seeing the crow/raccoon story. I’m glad that crow has a loud mouth. LOL I don’t really care for crows because they like to eat baby birds. i wish they were vegetarian or could eat popcorn or Flapper’s french fry tree. But I’m really glad that crow was there. Very interesting that the raccoon had climbed to the top of the aviary. I’m sure the ducks and chikin were very scared.

I’ve seen crows dive-bomb birds of prey over Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Of course I want the hawk (or whatever) to thrive, but it’s interesting to see the crows work together to drive the much larger bird away.

Peepers the Satanic Conure has a high-pitched, staccato alarm call that he uses at totally weird and inappropriate moments — like when I’m heading into the bathroom and he thinks I’m leaving him forever and ever. He really is a kooky bird.

Well there’s a reason those smaller birds are not crow fans. These crows do eat baby birds. This year I have seen them (or friends of theirs) take a baby chickadee and a baby stellar’s jay. But they do a damn fine job of keeping my ducks safe, so I appreciate them.

I’m envious. The small birds like mocking birds won’t let any crows any where near where I live. If I see a crow, it is always being chased by smaller birds.

Wow, Crow is awesome! Many treats should go in the crow belly!

Also, LOVE the juice box! That is what I call them, too!

Our Mr. Crow gets *one* peanut every morning. It is just enough to keep him interested. A couple weeks ago, Mr, Crow and some of his friends chased off a hawk!

I threatened to have Simon SIT on him if he returns.

Oooh scary! I’m so glad the ducks and Olivia were safe.
Good job Crow! Very well done.
Animals are good at noticing something odd, around here our sheep start bleating when they sense something strange, also our Canada geese make sure I hear them.
I’m happy no one got hurt and I hope the raccoon thinks twice before entering your yard.

Mr Crow does his job very well!
