Every morning, she is perched at the top on a “snag” (dead tree) above my house. Her job is to look out for possible food sources for her family. I smile when I see her sitting there, stoic and silent, as I put out bits of bread or food meant especially for her. The minute walk out the door, she begins to spread the work, “food-food” in her language. “Caw,caw,caw caw.’ If I don’t see her, I call out for her in the same “language, “Caw, caw,caw, caw. Soon she and her family arrive. We had a symbiosis between us, a bond. We are a part of each others’ world.

I love it. Mary had a little lamb…
Except this time, it’s a crow (hope I got that right)

Thank you for sharing a good-feely, positive story for a change. I bet they prefer your food to the road kill they pick up now and then. I’m #14 on the list.

This is one of the rare stories that doesn’t deal with death this week. Most refreshing!

I like the relationship your character has with the bird. Love the idea of symbiosis in all things (that’s the title of my novel 🙂

A sweet story about how we are all one in this world. I liked that she fed the bird without question and even spoke to it in its own language.
Aloha,
Doug

Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while today. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as good as when I arrived. I’ll be back!
