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."

That's the trouble with crows. They become tame far too easily for their own good.

I spent a summer interning at New England Wildlife Center many moons ago and was astounded by these guys in particular. It was actually somewhat of a challenge not to let them get too freindly.
