@ct_bergstrom Had a pet (Hooded) crow as a boy (a rescued nestling a few days old-pink, no feathers). He didn't grow primary wing feathers for a couple years but when he did he occasionally brought me things first thing in the morning. Hungry? I have an earthworm! It's OK your mother will wash the pillow.

One of many stories: He stole money from the kitchen and hid it in a shed outside and sulked when I followed him (behaving suspiciously) and found his stash.

Intelligent, mischievous & fun.

@ct_bergstrom Listen if you can to Ted Hughes reading his poem Crow

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow_(

A wonderful read but his voice adds a lot*. I think my favourite bit

While the rest of ornithological creation put on a magnificent flying display
Crow was spraddled over a dropped ice cream

*You can find some excerpts on YouTube.
