A crow's tale

Mr. Crow landed right in front of me and refused to budge for 35 seconds - eyeing me and willing me to roll down my car window and throw him some food.

Having read about their intelligence, uncanny ability to remember people's faces, and collaborative attacks on targeted humans, I almost caved in. Luckily a seagull swooped low and sent him off his perch.

But next April 27, I plan to celebrate Happy International Crows and Ravens Appreciation Day. After all they need respect - and love - too.
