Pet crow Growing Up!

This is the story of a little baby crow that was found in early June of 2018 in a back alley with several dead birds around. We could not just ignore this tragedy and leave the little bird there to die like the others.

It's pretty sad that she had to be put in those circumstances in the first place, poor thing was just a baby when she was rescued. But bless these kind people for rescuing this baby and giving her a chance at a happy and healthy life like all creatures deserve. 🖤

I had a similar situation when I was younger. I found a young crow like this about the same age, and raced it until it could fly. Once I released it, it would follow me around wherever I went when I was outside. This used to freak out my friends and family, but I loved it and I had a new friend.

I was a very young boy when my father was raising a baby pet crow. It was a wonderful pet. He named it Eighty proof. I was sad when it grew strong enough to leave, but I thanked it for it’s amusement and company. I said goodbye, and wished it well. I think he hung around, on and off for several years. It was always fun when he came by with his friends and family.

[@LittleIcarus]

Eighty proof? Hmm why

These corvids are incredibly brilliant and some of the most intelligent birds. If they grow old enough they will be able to form intelligent sentences and form meaningful and longlasting bonds with humans even if you were to release him. Theyre absolutely crazy how cool they are

[@MegaPhalaenopsis]

To release a corvidae is a huge mistake.It is usually killed by the others very fastly, considered as a stranger.The most agressive are the magpies ,that are the most territorial corvidae.I had a magpie for 14 years , she was always purchassed by the wild ones every time she went outdoor.

[@Mrlorop]

people who say animals lives are ruined when kept in captivity do not realise animals dont have dreams or ambitions. if they are safe and not hungry theyre pretty happy.

[@burningcheerios3119]

It's very dependent on the animals, for examples orcas and other dolphins are miserable in captivity. The only recorded instances of orcas attacking people are orcas in captivity because the go crazy under those conditions. Intelligent animals all require recreation of some sort and many need social interaction and in some cases we can't properly provide that in captivity. Ravens and crows do well provided the have a good amount of room and friendly interactions though.

Noticed an injured crow in backyard, after a couple days it was obvious it needed help. To the horror of a dozen of his buddies I caught him up and sent him off to a rehab center. For ten years I couldn’t use my own deck! Dive bombed and screamed at, even at the local park 1/2 mile away I’d get attacked! Other park goers would notice and ask me WTF dude? Smart birds with long, good memories!

Crows are not silent animals xD They even eat loudly, thats amusing for some reason to me.

[@sharknoodlesoup3907]

I raised two grackles the past summer. They had bird mites when we found them and almost died but we got medicine on them right away and they kept getting stronger. After some time they learned how to fly very well and one of them left. The other one didn’t leave until two weeks later and it was always fun to be casually standing in the backyard and to have a bird fly full speed at you and land on your shoulder demanding food.

There is something special about birds, that's what I discovered lately. Something like a month ago my uncle rescued a little blackbird from our cats. They didn't harm her, but since she was very young we had to take care of here. In the weeks that followed we watched her grow and become a strong and beautiful bird. Two days ago she flew away to join other blackbirds in the wild. I must say I mis her greatly. Seeing your hirds reminded me of her, I'm so happy there are more people who have such a big heart for wild birds.

It always impresses me that people are willing to put in the MASSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY that is needed (feeding every 30min like WHAT! Insane) into an orphaned baby not knowing how it will work. But your reward though is to be blessed with little crow in your life and that incredible bond you have earned. So impressed and inspired by the way u treat your birds as proper pets and not just something in a cage. Taking them on holidays, to the beach, just LOVE ! To have a pet crow come to the beach with me sound like heaven literally! Oh and u should start teaching tricks and doing brain teasers/puzzles with her as they are incredibly smart with the most insane memories and problem solving abilities, which mean they can get bored easily and needs challenges. U guys r too awesome btw 😀

Crows are very loving when given the right care. they're also extremely smart, can show affection in their own ways, and have the memory of an elephant. Its said that elephants never forget so the same aspect can apply to a crow. They can remember who cares for them, who would harm them, and they do give people things as gifts which I find adorable

It might be that the mother was shot and the poor little thing ventured out to find out what happened. Crows even have funerals! As a youngster, my friends and I would venture out into the woods and my friends would just shoot birds for the sake of it. Although I never shot a crow myself, I hang my head in shame sometimes for being friends with those arseholes. They were arsehole for other reasons too.

[@chv72]

Glad to hear that you were not involved with that behaviour.

[@spaghettiyeti7097]

[@tamraarmstrong1433]

Actually, it's been proven that they don't have funerals. It's not mourning but they are actually surveying the scene for danger. They scanned a birds brain and found out they weren't using the emotional part of their brain when this takes place.
