Crow Update
Me and my murder of crows continue to be good friends. I think I frighten people sometimes when I'm walking down the road and suddenly 40 crows appear out of nowhere all headed towards me. I used to think people were getting annoyed at me for befriending so many crows, but now I realize they might wondering if this is a Hitchcock The Birds situation and worrying about my safety. I am perfectly safe! These birbs are family.
I am fully embracing the weird bird lady reputation I am probably building.
I talked to my crows. You have to talk to creatures. All creatures. It's disrespectful not to. It's silly to assume all creatures are dumber than us and wouldn't understand. Crows can see colours I can't even imagine and don't know exist. Crows can probably see forces in the world that we can't. They might understand quantum mechanics, you don't know that they don't, I say. So: talk to animals. It's rude not to.
I met one crow the other day who didn't react like all the other ones do when I throw peanuts. I assume that was a new guy from a different area, and we must not have met yet. So I picked up the peanuts and delivered them in a different spot, and welcomed him to the neighbourhood.
I think in the video game played by crows, I am a loot crate. I'm okay with that.
