heh... has anyone ever noticed that crows and ravens always manage to do stuff thats really creepy? Every night at my school, a few THOUSAND crows flock to the place... the sky literally turns black(well, blacker, cause it's duskish) and they fly around and land in the trees and on the buildings and shit, it's spooky as crap. Makes me wish I had a digital camera, I'd take some pictures.
 
Crows are definitely one of my favorite animals. I prefer my birds black. Like my men.
 
first time I saw it I was listening Blood Fire Death actually... I usually only see that after I leave the bar, I think I've crashed on the grass and watched them flock and shit a couple dozen times. It lasts about an hour, then it's dark and they're all settled on the rooftops, it's cool to see them up there too. Then i get on the bus and go home... it's pretty cool.

I had a pet crow for a while, it had a broken wing so i took it home and took care of it. It was pretty fucking cool, but I decided to let it go after a while.
 
I had a pet crow once, a wee baby that fell out of the nest so I took care of the bugger for a week, and one day he/she up and died. Sucked. :(
 
i had a pet bird too once, at my cottage, we found it 'cause it was injured, but it died too. i also had a pet crayfish (looked like a lobster, but tiny..like 3 inches long), but it fell between the boards of the dock at our cottage and got lost.
 
Other things i've rescued: Duck, fox, wolf cub (thought it was a puppy at first!), a few stray things, a snake (had to hide it form my mom!) and a hummingbird.

But yeah, crows fucking pwn, as do ravens... i've watched crows take an eagle right out of the sky (killed it)... I've also seen an eagle get pissed off and fuck up the 5 crows chasing it in about .05 seconds... it ate one of them.
 
Midair bird fights are one of the strangest things in the world, the whole scenario just completely defies anything I've ever known about logic and physics. Pretty unruly.

I had a pet caterpillar once, he used to bite me and then he'd poo on me. Weird stuff.

Yeah, they're fucked up, the eagle totally ripped the crows apart in midair, and then the last one it tackled and dove it into the ground. Then ate it.

My word, do you live in Dracula's backyard?!
 
Crows are pretty awesome, but I swear the ones in my neighborhood are developing their own language and I'm not sure whether to fear them, or laugh at them because their speech is so primitive compared to ours.
 
I also had a pet crow for a while, he used to sit on my shoulder and poop a lot down my back and then climb up on my head and scratch me bloody with those razor claws and the only time I saw him fly was when he jumped off my shoulder on the way to a mate's place and flew right into a window.

Yesterday I mowed a seagull, it smelled horribly.

Nope. Vancouver!!!! Nanuk of the north's backyard or whatever.

and yeah, I swear the crows are plotty against me and shit half the time.

"Loaf leader to Squirty Shit 3, target in sight, commencing shit run. "

My pet crow never rode around on my shoulder or anything, my chickens did that. I could also "communicate" with them via chicken noises. Weirdest shit ever, my parents still don't know how I did it. I could tell them to come with me, or to go to their coop. Many family friends stared incredulously at me while that happened. Go me, i'm fucking nature boy.
 
haha.

That was actually my nickname to a few people way back in junior high. Simply cause I was both: a) in shape b) new how to fucking hike.

We did a class hike over the mountains to the horne lake caves (google if you give a shit what they are) as a field trip. It took like 5 hours or so, but everyone except me was all tired and shit. So they called me nature boy, especially since on the 2 steep hills I had to help everyone down so they didn't fucking kill themselves.
 
hahhahaha that's funny. I mean since it was dead already, although if it wasn't I'd laugh anyhow, then feel bad later.

Yeah, my pet caterpillar used to bite me, it was fucking weird. Even better was that I told someone this story just a week ago (it happened about 15 years ago), and I quickly realized why the little fucker died: I put eucalyptus leaves in his box. D'OH! Those trees are highly poisonous btw.

Thank you JayK for getting my Airplane reference. :loco:
