    That's AMAZING! I have seen several videos of things that crows can do, but nothing that cool. B)

    Did you ever see the girl that has a collection of things a wild crow has brought her?

    No. I do know from my experience they like bling. :smile:

    You might be right. I was worried I'd break her in half, but more like me gettin' broken off.

    She should have only spent 30% of the money on implants and the other 70% on an anti-gravity shield.

    All of America's space-age optimism of the early 1960s (which was, admittedly, tempered by some other things :/ ) is encapsulated in designs like this one, I'd opine.

    Coolest "pet" I've ever had by far. Actually he allowed us to be his friend and help him grow to be free.

    My coolest pet was an Oscar (fish). He would go crazy when we walked into the room and wag his tail like a dog who just saw his owner after coming home from a long day of work.

    Then he would swim all of the way up to the top of the water and expect to be petted. I could pet the top of his head for minutes at a time. If I withdrew my arm, he would swim back intot he center of the tank but if I raised my arm again, he expected to be petted again.

    I miss that guy.

    They're several cichlids that have that appeal. Very trainable.
    I miss my fish room. I had in a past life one room dedicated to aquariums. There was 10, none smaller than a 55, most were 90 to 150 gallons

    I had a pet Crow that I raised from a chick to an adult. After the first year he lived outside and flew free. Jesus christ they are African Gray Parrot smart! They can understand english and names. Fred (the crows name) knew the names of my kids, understood where he was not allowed to go ( public swimming pool ). He was a great friend for a number of years. Nothing like going outside and yelling his name and woof he comes swooping in to land on your arm or shoulder. Loved to play tricks on us, and would tease and play with our dog. If I'm ever lucky enought to get another you better believe I WILL.

    I'd love to befriend some crows. I was surprised to read how intelligent they are. All kinds of crazy things. I think I read that they can pass knowledge along generations.

    Raven vs Crow... there's some more reading.

    We've got lots of crows in this area, and the number of ravens (historically a more southern species) is increasing steadily.
    The two species do not like each other. :|
