Crow Babies

7/20/2017

Crow Man had babies!  Maybe I should start calling him, Crow "Woman" ...  I don't know!  He is bringing his two chicks to Meadow Sweet Grove for breakfast ... and sometimes dinner.  So now, I have my old faithful crow visiting, another adult crow and two baby birds in tow.  They nest in an absolutely beautiful and huge cedar tree in the yard over, but one ... a family of four!  Here are some pictures:

Mom and Dad are bringing them here, of course, because it is such a good food source.  It's touching how the little ones are now seemingly showing up on their own for breakfast ... but I notice that Mom or Dad, or sometimes both, are always watching from a little distance away (they are good parents).  They caw to let the babies know that it is okay to go get the food.  The caws sure change dramatically though when my little black and white cat sneaks out the door at the same time!  However, I have been advised by a reliable Gnome in the Grove that maybe I shouldn't feed the babies too much. 

The young ones do, however, need to learn to find food in other places too.  So, I am rationing the food ... it's hard!  Because they sit on the wires, and sometimes outside my window, with their little beaks open and waiting.   ​I am finding the strength to do what is right.  I only give them just enough at breakfast (and maybe a wee bit at dinnertime) to keep their little bellies hungry ... so that they go and search elsewhere.

​​Plus, it would seem that this fellow is attracted to any bits and pieces left-over.  His stealthy little hands reach up to the "special spot" hoping to grab any forgotten food.  And, as you can see, he is here, all hopeful, and it isn't even twilight yet!  Okay I'll scale it back ... I promise.

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
