A woman who befriended a wild crow in her neighborhood got more responsibility than she could have ever imagined. Crows are actually very intelligent and thus end up being pretty easy to befriend. Just be consistent in giving them treats, and they will repay you will little trinkets and attention. She did this with a local crow who she named Rupert. After a few months, she found out Rupert was actually a female and had a baby of her own. She started feeding them both and become one big happy family. 

 

Then one day she came home from work with Rupert cawing frantically. She went out back and found that Rupert's baby was in the grass overheating. So she sprung into action and started helping the little guy. While doing this, Rupert flew off and went about her own day as if saying, "I trust you human." She was able to nurse this sweet baby back to full health after several hours and he was able to fly back to where is mom was waiting for him. The experience was more than magical for the woman and she is ecstatic to have bestied so hard with a wild bird.

  • There is something special about gaining the trust of such a vulnerable animal, like a bird. They have so many predators to worry about, which makes them always on the defense. So when one decides to trust you, like a crow trusting a human, it must mean you truly have a pure heart. 

  • I gave him a bowl of water
