Today, I learned the valuable lesson that taking care of a baby crow isn't the best idea. He finally can fly away, but sits on my porch all day cawing for food. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, a crow somehow got stuck in my ceiling. It's been making tons of noise for 9 hours now, including crowing very loudly. I live in a one-bedroom apartment, I have no access to the attic and the property owner doesn't give a shit. FML

Just do it

Today, I witnessed the beautiful sight of a tiny baby bird struggling to take flight from its nest. "You can do it," I muttered, which I guess my asswipe of a cat heard as "Quick, go kill that bird and scar me for life, please." FML

Today, the bird that has been stuck in my roof for two days, keeping me awake at night, finally flew out of the roof and into the house. As I was opening the door to send it outside, it flew straight back up into the roof. FML

Today, I was caring for a bird that had flown into my window. I thought the poor thing wouldn't make it, when it shit in my hand, flew into my neck, then around my living room for ages before I could manage to get it out of the window. FML

Today, since I've been paying attention to my newborn, my pet cockatoo learned to cry like the baby on the middle of the night. I haven't gotten more than four hours of sleep. FML

Today, I saved a bird from being run over as it lay in the middle of the road. Thinking it had a broken wing or something, I started carrying it home, intending to take it to the vet later. It crapped in my hand and flew away. FML

The bird

By Mariah Barnes - 24/07/2020 08:01

Today, I saved a baby bird from the site I work on. It was the runt and did not have any feathers and was neglected by the mother. I took care of it all day at work and planned on taking it to a wildlife reserve after work. Two minutes away from the reserve, we hit a pothole and I dropped it. It died. FML

Anthropomorphism

Today, I spent hours making an elaborate bird feeder for my backyard. It was finally ready, and I proudly hung it up, imagining the birds chirping happily. Instead, a squirrel discovered it within minutes, devoured all the birdseed, and then gave me a smug look before knocking the feeder to the ground. FML

Freedom!

Today, I was showing off my new pet bird to my friends over video chat. I opened the cage to demonstrate how friendly he was. Instead of perching on my finger like usual, he flew out the window. I spent the next hour chasing him around the neighborhood in my pajamas. FML

Today, I saw two crows in a park using their beaks to kiss each other. A fucking crow gets more action than I do. FML

It's like when you feed a stray cat one time and it keeps coming back for more. Eventually it's gonna end up being yours.

So what's wrong with that? I think it's darn cool. Just think...how many others actually have a pet crow?

If you take care of a baby animal you now have a new pet, they don't have life skills to live in the wild.

Crows are super intelligent. It was like taking care of a puppy or horse or baby person. They bonded with you and you abandoned it.

We had a baby crow once that we had to pick up & remove from the neighbors yard (as the man & his 12 yr old son were trying to stone it to death with large rocks & stomp on it)...it ended up with some bruises & a broken wing...we then called animal control on the neighbor & animal control got us in touch with a woman nearby who cares for birds like that...call them & see if they know of any people who are willing to take the bird & care for it.

You're part of the family now. Enjoy. Animals Are often better friends then people. Though the likely scenario is the crow just sees you as a food source and will take you for all you have to give.

***Please read this!*** The reason the crow is coming back is because it never learned to gather food on its own. If you have had it since it was a baby it see's you as it's mother and you were unable to teach it to forage for food. It's not being lazy it just never learned to hunt for food. Please be humane and put a bird feeder out for it. That will solve both problems, please don't let it starve :( Thank you!!!
