This story is in response to the #write photo prompt from Sue Vincent this past week:
******
I sit in the tree and bob my head, regarding the yard below me. Don’t think the owners have brought out any food yet. I’ve been stopping by daily for a year, because, as you know, every house has to have a house crow.
The back door opens and someone comes out and puts some bread on the deck railing. I’ve got them trained well, haven’t I? And they say we’re not as smart as ravens!
This is clever, Noelle.
Thanks, Robbie!
Can’t beat a well-trained human, Noelle 🙂 🙂
Especially one trained by a bird!
That whole family of birds seems to have the knack of training us well 🙂
They ARE smart!
🙂
Stone the crows! Good yarn!
Thanks, Bruce. We had a house crow at our lake house!
Love it… 🙂 A Hairy Woodpecker knocks on the window casing when the suet feeder needs to be filled! Dan and I march to the tunes of the cats and birds! xo
We have a woodpecker who does that also! I thought I was making it up but glad to hear that you have experienced the same, Bette. And yes, I make my guy go out and fill the suet feeder right away. 😙
I had to wait until I’d written mine till I visited yours 🙂 I like!
Thanks, Jemima – back atcha!
You could make a whole story from that prompt.
Based this on the house crow we had up at the lake!
Haha!! I love it, Noelle!
Thanks, MC!
“every house has to have a house crow”
I love that, Noelle. Great story.
Thanks, Diana! Our former lake house had a ‘house crow.’
We have crows too. We caw back and forth at each other and I could swear they’re enjoying it as much as I.
Tee-hee! Crows are fascinating birds, Noelle. I love the “crow-itude” you gave this one. Hugs on the wing!
I’m hoping to find some around our new digs but not so far. We do have Canada geese here though.
Well-trained humans… If only. 😉 We’d do well to listen to birds more often.
Nice comment, Sarah! I do know a few people who probably aren’t as smart as crows. 🙂 😉
Good crow tale! And I watch them almost daily and yes they are very very smart! When they eye me from up in their perch I get a little freaked out. 🙃
You have to wonder what the heck they are thinking!
