I couldn't resist sharing this story with our readers. My girlfriend went to Lake Placid last week with her family and some friends. The Inn they stayed at also housed some foxes, owls, and other wildlife in need of some care.
This vacationing group came in contact with a curious crow.
He appeared to have no fear of humans. Maybe he was a recipient of the kindness of the innkeepers. He would come and land on your outstretched arm. How sweet!! The only problem was that this friendly crow had a strange way of making friends. Perhaps he was a middle child/bird and had to fight to get attention. Or perhaps he suffered with some sort of insecurity complex or anxiety disorder.
In any case, he tried warming up to these friends by pecking on the head of little Silas! All that got him was a shooshing away. Then he tried a love peck on the neck of Norbert. That wasn't too endearing, especially since it drew blood! He proceeded to perch nearby, but this only served to intimidate! It sure is hard making friends!
Fearless Mark decided to capture "the love" on video. Way to go!!!
Hope you enjoyed the video as much as I did. So the next time you see a crow, watch your back! You never know!!
