Crow in the office





This crow was kept illegally as a pet, and confiscated and brought to a wildlife rehabilitator. The rehabber decided the bird was too imprinted to be released and placed it at the educational center where I work. We are trying to get it to the point where teachers can bring it to schools and such, and use it in educational programs. Its flight feathers are damaged, so it can't fly well, but once it molts it will. I brought it into our office for some exercise and "play time."

thank you for sharing. I hope he does okay. Crows are so intelligent. I love the way he cocks his head in the first one, and I can feel the intial awkwardness he feels at being in a new environment, or maybe I am projecting...

Crows are probably my favorite, because they're so intelligent and adaptable.
