My mother attended a crow funeral when the birds my dad would feed every morning came to say good bye the day he left this earth. Broke and warmed my heart 💕

They are such amazing creatures. I can see them mourning a beloved human.

Sesame Street aids in teaching my children to read. Can crows really talk? They know when ripe sweetsops are in my tree before I and boy do they feast. Lol

They do! Studies have shown that they don't just mimic. They understand some human words. They also have "names" (particular caws) for humans they see frequently.

I love those videos of birds bobbing along to music.

Me too. I used to have a cockatiel who did that.

Good drabble. I passed it on to a Twitter photographer friend who takes photos of crows in the Vancouver area.
