Gabi Mann (8) has been feeding her neighborhood crows for the past four years. In return for their daily feedings, the crows started gifting Gabi with some of the following: an earring, a heart-shaped bead, LEGO pieces, buttons, rocks, and the camera lens cap Gabi’s mom lost on a walk around the neighborhood. Gabi keeps track of all the gifts, labeling them and organizing them in a bead storage container.
