No, Iris, I don't but my next door neighbor does own a crow named CawCaw whom I visit daily and love dearly. She found him, badly injured, many years ago. His recovery period was so long that he was unable to be reintroduced into the wild. He is just amazing, imitates the dogs barking and can say "I love you".Iris wrote: Bell, do you own a crow? I've known several people who do. So, is that your crow in real life?
Daboo and Tiffany, thanks! His picture doesn't do him justice. Mojo measures two feet long, and weighs one pound -- which if you know about birds makes him a fairly big guy. He's a magnificent flyer who can hover in the air and his wings are a metallic gold underneath. He likes to play "peek-a-boo" and has a typical macaw sense of humor. He doesn't know any salty sea language, though.
Bell, how neat! You're supposed to have a special license to have a crow, or any wild American bird, btw. Crows are a lot like parrots in that they're very smart and they can talk. Starlings can talk, too. Crows can also be trained to do a lot of things, and both crows and parrots have been seen fashioning and using tools.
Good, SB! Birds can die from the tiniest of cat bites or scratches, or even from preening cat saliva off their own feathers. It's a bacterial thing, and it's so serious that even if you rush them to a good avian vet, the vet can be very hard pressed to save them. Just throwing that in here in case anyone reading this owns both birds and cats and doesn't know that.
