    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. :|

    Doc I've always known Ravens to be more northern.

    Here is their habitat distribution I find.
    Common ravens can be found across the entire northern hemisphere. They range from the Arctic Circle all the way to Central America, Northern Africa, and much of Asia. They have been spotted at altitudes up to 20,000 ft. on Mount Everest. Different subspecies of these widespread birds are found as “residents” worldwide.

    I've never seen any in central Illinois, or maybe I have and just didn't know it.

    Sent that to my friend in Nova Scotia - the other one - and he was dying laughing.

    Also, divorced his wife on the spot. On suspicion of, in truth, being from Quebec. Or possibly America.

    Propaganda. It comes in many shapes and forms. This one is rather humorous though, eh?

    oh... ahem.
    Where was I?

    Oh, yes. A few weeks ago on Sunday morning at church, I happened to notice, down on the threshold, a small bit of hardware for the double doors leading into our "parish hall" (so to speak).

    It's just gratifying to see a piece of hardware that delights in the simple joy of doing its job.
