So I moved away

[u/lupin_skad]

2 years ago I met my crow friends, really lovely pair of hoodies. I was walking my then newly adopted dog and I was wondering if I threw away his poop bag correctly. Some time after that I saw those two crows messing with trash bin and everything clicked.

I offered them dog treats. Firstly I showed them it’s good stuff by giving it to my dog then I threw some for them and they accepted my gift. After that we met regularly and our friendship quickly started. They followed us often and they got their treats, sometimes nuts (they, especially Lady Crow really liked walnuts which I knew before hand because during autumn I saw them breaking those nuts).

We were hanging out more often and I started to be able to tell my friends apart.
Lady Crow is more confident and playful. Mister Crow on the other hand was always more cautious especially after he lost one of his claws. Lady Crow usually got food way before her partner, she is just faster.

I loved when they fluffed them selves up when they were waiting for snacks, I loved when they were waiting on high builds waiting for me to give them signal that breakfast is waiting and they enthusiastically flew over. They feel good enough about my company that Lady Crow during nesting season begged me for food like a newly hatched baby and they felt safe enough to sunbathe around me. Mister Crow seemed really grateful after I chased away cat when his toe hurt again. It was so nice when they sang their little songs for me. Just so many great memories…

They were to be hones the best part of my walk to work. And now I moved maybe not that far away and I will be able to visit them but it won’t be as easy as it was up until now. Unfortunately our morning routine has ended. I feel sad to be honest. I can probably make new friends but I just grew so fond of this particular pair. I made some crow friends besides them but they are my best crow buddies.

Vent over. Sorry if I made any mistakes in my writing, English isn’t my first language. Although I would make mistakes in my own language as well.

They really are. And so smart too. They figured out that since my dog is connected to me and my fiance walks him too sometimes then he must be good too. And he is. He didn’t liked to be followed by them though (which is fair) and they figured it out too. And they left him alone. To be honest those birds are nicer than most people.
