If we had to pick a spirit animal, we would definitely pick crows. Crows are the unsung heroes of the bird kingdom.  Smart, sassy animals who love to take flight. Whether it's crows helping someone get back at his awful neighbors, or crazy funny crow memes,  we're crazy about crow content. There are just so many cool and weird animal facts about crows that we find fascinating, like how they can learn to talk. 

Every time we see anything about crows, we are amazed by how cool they are. And this story from the Oregonians about a friendly, foul-mouthed crow who befriended an entire Oregon elementary school before state police were called in to take him out is perhaps the funniest animal story we've read this month!

    Wow, this post is certainly relatable. After all, aren't we all foul talking crows in one way or another? We wonder why the state police were called in. Is a crow really that enormous of a threat to the children? Time to read on…

    It turns out that crow's name is Cosmo, and here is a photo of him:

    Cosmo is his own free man, but chooses to hang around the farm of an animal rescuer named JaNeal Shattuck. This week however, the family was on vacation, and a nasty neighbor captured the bird and took him away!

    Poor Cosmo did not enjoy being taken away from his farm...

    Font - Lynzee Loveridge Official Jingle Belle @ANN_Lynzee Replying to @Maladroithe oh my god it only gets better While the family was gone for Thanksgiving, they said a neighbor captured the bird and took him to a local animal sanctuary. The sanctuary, not realizing he was habituated to humans, released him, likely in Grants Pass. Once he was out, Shattuck said, he started looking for home, causing quite the stir in town.

    According to the Oregonian, Cosmo then found his way into an elementary school, where he began to swear, and all heck broke loose.

And this crow, or possibly and more in line with Poe, raven, knows at least 40 words. "He knows a lot of words, I'm not going to lie," said Daphnie Colpron on Thursday. "His vocabulary has expanded quite a bit in the last few weeks." Colpron knows a good deal about the crow, or possibly raven -- who also may be female -- because her mother rescued the bird about

    Hmm, what do you think, is Cosmo a spy for the crows?

    Some more information about crows:

    Rectangle - Markius Fox EEO ® @MarkiusFox Replying to @Maladroithe For clarification, Cosmo is a Crow, not a Raven. A broad hooked beak would be the tell, along with a deep "rawk" instead of a higher pitched "caw".

    Font - Sentinel Meerkat @SentinelMeerkat Replying to @Maladroithe I can't sleep - now I see that the world still has Cosmo and people who are patient enough to raise him with love and wonder and sew him little hats. The fact that he is willing to wear the hat for her says everything we need to know about respect, which is love in plain clothes.
