Dad’s gone to the birds
There he was, just walkin’ down the road,,, He knew his kin were up ahead somewhere, but they were much faster than he was,,,
Along comes me Da,,,,
Whus Dio blabberin’bout now? you ask,,,
Da is back in the bird business. He was coming home from running around and found a fledgling Crow walkin’ along the road. IN full plumage, but not enough air experiance, so he was walking,,,, Friendly little cuss too. Takes food from hand,



And this isn’t the first for dad by any means. We used to raise crows when we were kids. Many a fond memory of riding our bikes with a crow on the handlebars, teaching them to fly. They would get that wind in their face and start spreading wings, flapping, building the muscles up, and usually after a few days of practice, OFF THEY WOULD GO, on thier own. Some would stick around for a time, most usually returned every year, and they all had unique ways of Cawing that we all could hear. Crows are VERY smart (and thieves, but thats a feature not a bug.)
This one won’t be around long,,, natural born and raised; Da doesn’t want to impress on it too much. Just get it strong enough to fly on its own and let it go its merry way. Wings sure beat the feet thing, so he needs to learn to use’em.

that day is coming, eventually, but I likely won’t post about it for at least a week, more likely a month. Gonna take some time to get my head back on straight after that day.
This is his usual soft hearted self thing. Four feets or feathers, matters not. People though,, meh,,,,,,

Yeah, think I’ll just stay home tomorrow . Behind my six foot fences and monitor the two bird feeders . Why two feeders ? Cos the one is easy for birds and squirrels to eat from and the other has anti squirrel defences.
The tall fences are to deter the human squirrels.
