Out of 8.7 million species on this planet, crows are the fourth most intelligent - the 4th!! They are worthy of your respect, your company and your love. There is a PBS documentary on the intelligence of crows that is fascinating and amazing.
Yes! We live in the mountains and we have crows that protect our flock from predators. I’ve seen the trios chase hawks so far away over the mountains that you lose sight of them. They are so smart, I think it’s hard for us to comprehend HOW smart they are.
I shared my life with a conure for 34 years. He was very devoted to me. I in turn was devoted to him. He passed the day after Memorial Day this past Spring. I still sometimes call out his name or look in his empty cage expecting to see him. We had a special bond too. Giving your heart to a bird well is very special 🤷🏼♀️
@@hammypie thank you I still have 2 other parrots with me. I adopted Rio my 31 y/o Blue and Gold Macaw when she was 10 months old. I also adopted Ozzie my u known age but at least 29 y/o. 22 of those years he’s been with me. The bond I had with my conure was special and I do have a good bond with Rio but she’s much bigger not so easy to carry her around with me like I could with Flapper. She’s having play dates with another large macaw named Chewy who was abused, he’s a green wing who had his sinuses crushed and his beak healed shut so when she went to pick him up and saw he was emaciated and his beak had been fused shut. She has to take him every six weeks just so he can eat. He’s in a fabulous home now and happy but he was subjected to severe trauma poor thing. Thanks for caring enough to send me a message 😇
I agree. I really feel that some creatures are unjustly maligned because they're not pretty and they don't cuddle and they're only around for food . . . but take me: I mean, anybody hates wasps, right? *I* hate wasps. I was terrified of anything that looked like it was just a big sting with wings, like bees, flying ants etc. but I had a special hatred/fear in my heart with wasps. Until one day this creature kept buzzing around me as I sat drinking my sparkling water in the sun on my balcony, getting a tan and reading my book. I thought it was a honeybee, so I thought I might get it to stick around, because for a few years now, since my brother started beekeeping (I never visited him and saw his bees) but somehow my mind said "They must be okay." So I went and got a tiny sampler jar of honey that I had hanging around my kitchen for years, and I put it on the window sill on the balcony . . . and sure enough, Mrs. Bee (is what I named her) came to eat some. And she stayed there all day! She never bothered me. She would buzz away on errands, but then she would make a beeline for the honeypot . . . I videoed her at ruclips.net/video/LvMCShVSrz8/видео.html . . . and then my brother emails me and says "That's a wasp." And then I looked more closely and I saw that yes indeed, Mrs. Bee was Mrs. Yellowjacket. (You can go to my channel and see more Mrs. Bee videos) Since that day, other wasps have come to share in the treasure and not all of them have been so agree-a-bee-able but NONE OF THEM has stung me. NONE OF THEM has been scary or aggressive or threatening. I don't wave my hands and shout or throw things or react violently when one of them comes near me; I just wave whatever I'm holding CALMLY in fron of my face and they go away pretty much immediately. I wouldn't say that I LOVE "my" wasps, but I WOULD say that the whole experience has changed my mind about wasps. Just like any wild animal, you have to respect them and share THEIR world with them as calmly and quietly as you can; don't try to approach them and just relax, and they will actually begin to TRUST you. There . . . that's my lecture. I would just LOVE the opportunity to have a bird . . . I adore birds . . . *sigh* one day . . .
For years I had a crow come to my kitchen balcony and ask for food. He made hmself look as pitiful as possible, all hunched over to one side and eyes downcast, as if life itself was forcing his body ever more downward. On rainy days he would let drops drip from his bill to show me how wet and pitiful he was and how badly he needed a little piece of raw meat (his favorite food) and of course I always gave it to him and actually ended up calling him "the actor" for his fine performances of imminent starvation. And so close to 40 years passed in this manner and the introduction of his children and grandchildren until one day ... I still mourn him and hope I might see him one more time...the time I would have grown wings to join him on his journey to whatever there is after death.
You sound like me I rescued Dog's Cat's Bird's all kind's of Animal's anything that needed help or was lost until I could find them a home or find their original owner's my Mother said in a loving way you can't save the world honey I said well I can do it one Animal at a time 💞🦮🐖🐀🐈⬛🐥🐇🐢🐦🐓🦆
Hi Gisa, your story made me cry. It's very heartwarming but sad. I went through the same experience with my pets. Sad but that's reality. That's why we have to cherish the memories & make the most of life. 💕💕
That's a very sweet story🥰 loving 😌 and sad 🥺 it brings tears to my eyes 😢 I also helped many different animals domestic and wild showing them love even though at times they were scared because I was a human and some humans can be cruel to animals lost dog's and cat's many times I got them from being fearful to loving and trusting my mother sister and I and whatever animals we had at the time believe me some of them were so scared it took me over a month to get that dog that the neighbor kids were throwing sticks and rocks at him I named him Skippy because he loved going in our field the grass is very high and he loved jumping so high you'd see him pop up out of the grass go back down and pop up again over and over he loved doing that the dogpound even let me borrow a big giant trap it was a very big cage no matter how much food I put in there of all different kinds he never fell for it we're sitting up in the field in my car watching him as the trap was in the yard one day my friend who is with me his brother came and said what's the trap for Skippy that dog we've been trying to catch him for a month he said I'll be right back he went home and came up with two hot dogs he said who's dog kennel is that in the back yard lol liking to be a joker I said it's my Sister's she sleeps in there and like the Pied Piper with those rats that followed him everywhere my friend's Brother started tossing little pieces of hot dogs over his shoulder as he was walking nonchalantly when he got about four feet from the kennel he stopped and he continued throwing pieces of hot dogs into the kennel 1 ft 2 ft 3 ft until Skippy got to the back corner of the kennel Johnny ran towards the door to shut it Skippy knew what he was going to do and he started running to the door at the same time Johnny slam the door and Skippy was right there trying to stick his head through the space frame and the door Johnny put his hand through put a leash around his neck gently brought him out but Skippy was so scared he was jumping three feet up in the air spinning like a fish on a line and falling sideways to the ground it made a horrible said I said Johnny hurry grab him before he gets hurt at first he wasn't able to because Skippy was going crazy 😧 he was just very scared but Johnny pick them up brought him to my SUV put him on the backseat instantly he calmed down we went to go get him some more food he fell asleep I tried to wake him up he would not wake up I literally thought I was shaking him calling his name he would not open his eyes or move I said oh my goodness did he just die he was just so exhausted he literally slept and would not wake up for anyting for 6 hours or more I'm glad I got him he was a wonderful dog I had a little Chihuahua and I needed to find Skippy a great home because I only believe in having as many animals as you can afford good food and vet care well I would always take my Chloe threw the dog part of the campground at Mosquito Lake especially on her Birthday 🎉 She would also get a cupcake and a little ice cream she never ate the whole thing but at least she had them one time a steak from Ponderosa steakhouse she would not eat it all at one time anyway we made a trip to the lake driving around asking different people on the dog side do you know anybody that would be interested in a wonderful dog we just rescued most people said no because they had dogs but there was this one family they had a camper a big tent that look like a house and a beautiful big giant truck I thought plenty of room for Skippy they had a girl and a boy and a golden retriever he said he really liked them ask his wife and they said that they would take him it was sad to see him go but it was so happy knowing that he was going to have a wonderful home they lived in Aurora Ohio one of my favorite places that's where Geauga Lake was at the time it was a wonderful Amusement Park 🎢 riding all them ride's and a beautiful area I used to have a car and I would drive and chase after animals on foot but then I had damaged my knee so I would started taking my Sister to help me she became the runner I would carry canned dog food dry dog food water bottles bowls and paper plates even if it was an animal that would never come to me at least I could still give them food I do everyday one time we had a house fire we did lose her house it was electrical I couldn't walk up family or friends steps or that far so my dog and I lived in our car all that winter ❄️ it would be 21° in the car in the morning I made your Chloe was taken care of she even made a trip to the vet to get her shots one day we were going to drive past our old house I'd seen something in the road from the distance I thought it was a deer when we got close it was a big giant pregnant dog but you could tell she was starving so I went to a dog shelters that would give you free dog food and cat food I would go up and give her food and water everyday one day I went she was living under the steps of a beautiful vacant house she wasn't there they're elderly lady across the street said she's not there I said where did she go she said the dog catcher just came and got her I said oh no oh no I called the Mahoning County dog pound and they said they did not have her to try the Trumbull County so I did well they had her and I said please don't kill her I have been taking care of her I can't adopt her I don't have the money for that but I have been feeding and watering her they said we are not going to kill her we are going to meet a shelter from Michigan halfway and they're going to take her to the shelter they only take pregnant dogs I said can you do me a favor put in the file my phone number and ask them to send me a text to let me know she was safe and that she had her puppies well 3 Days later I'm parked in a parking lot just killing time and my phone beeped it said 8 girls and 2 boys I looked and there was a picture of her in a kiddie pool looking exhausted but relieved and all these little puppies all over inside that swimming pool I was so relieved that they were happy and safe 🙌🏼🥰🐾💞 I've rescued so many animals and I will continue
Crows, ravens, and magpies are of the Corvid family and extremely intelligent. Researchers have pegged them at 7-8 years old in terms of human development. God bless this lady and her beautiful family!
@@maryshanley329 Benedict is a hooded crow (corvus cornix)! They look like they wear little grey jackets. Got lots of them here in Berlin, and magpies too. Magpies are smaller, wear a white jacket, have white segments in their wings, and have long tail feathers with striking iridescence. Very pretty birdies. Depends on the kind of magpie though. Pretty sure the Australian ones are bigger and a little less flamboyant lol
This bird is obviously a raven. Crows have broad yellow beaks. They are seed eaters. Ravens have narrow sharp beaks . They eat insects and worms. Great intelligence and very similar body shapes but different life styles. Both make great pets and young ones will "imprint" on a person and adopt him/her as a family member.
True, very true. My life became much less complicated and much happier when I got my first dog a few years ago. I have 3 now. I literally plan my life around the beasties to make sure they always have freedom and activities and ... great healthy food. All I get in return is unconditional love and companionship. Pretty good deal IMO.
They are empathic. My dog would take on whatever ailment I had (once I realized I felt such guilt!!), to have an animal that you can care for is such an honor. ❤️
I believe they are teachers. You have to respect their boundaries and make effort to communicate. I learned how to love unconditionally, through caring for animals and them for me when I had no one else.
Meanwhile PETA on the other hand.. Are soul destroyers they kidnap pets from owners and make excuses that “They didn’t wanna live” anymore. PETA is STUPID I HATE PETA
We had pet crows on the farm. Babies blown out of their nests or maybe cast out by parents. Henry, Charlie and Poe. What interesting animals? Charlie's best friend was our tomcat. I remember the bird hopping thru the pasture by the side of the Siamese- just his tail visible in the grass. So funny. Henry was a big talker and prankster, our mother's baby. Poe was the youngest and I'd feed him tomato hornworms and grasshoppers from the garden. They all were free to come and go and would fly thru the woods to the house when we came home. Took clothespins off the line so the wash fell on the grass. Swooped in to steal the badminton birdie. Rode on the sideview mirror as Dad checked the cattle. They are endlessly fascinating animals.
@Beth Pemberton Your story brought a genuine smile to my face. What lovely memories! It brought back fond memories of my childhood too, living out on the ranch and all the wonders of exploring the land and watching the animals. It’s the best way to live your childhood in my opinion. 💗
@@dalerimoller272 thank you. At this stage of 65 years they are pleasant memories indeed! We even painted the toenails of one of the crows. Henry, I think. Naturally little girls would do that and he watched with great interest as we tipped those talons with Momma's red nail polish.
This woman looks like she lives in a fairytale. She is a beautiful ballet 🩰 dancer, turning with a wild bird perched on her hand. Standing in a pure, white, pillowy , scene of snow ❄️ ! Breathtaking!
Few people understand that once a bird bonds with you it is for life. Having 2 Macaws and 1 Cockatoo for over 30 years they are my family and will be for decades to come.
My male Eccy is 11, and I love him to pieces. He loves me back, and is an excellent talker and has learned to use words to ask for what he wants. The love of a bird is very special, and greater than the love of a dog or cat.
What a beautiful story. This lady has a heart of gold! A few weeks ago a crow hit a transformer near my house. It knocked out the power everywhere. I walked over to the telephone pole and seen the crow almost lifeless at the bottom of the pole. He smelled like burned feathers. I held him to keep it safe from cats until it recovered from the shock. I let it go and it flew across the street to the other crows. They are my favorite birds because i feed squirrels and the crows always alert me and the squirrels when a hawk is around. Very smart birds!!!👍🥰
Great rescue job you did and you will be remembered forever ..Crows saved my life and to this day come to my balcony and to a special dining facility just in the bedroom.. They line up .Never fight and make no mess. Also worthy of note they never decide to fly around the bedroom ,Impeccable manners .If we had more such birds & fewer powered politicians the world would be much better.
@@HelenaMikas what a beautiful relationship you have with them! Thankyou for being so kind to them! They are incredible smart for sure. So happy they were there for you in your time of need and that they have a safe place to eat at your bedroom. That is way to cool!🥰👍👍👍🙏😊😊😊
She truly is a guardian angel to these incredibly smart and beautiful birds I hope that she continues to help many more birds for many more years to come the relationship that she has got with both Benedict and Acasha but especially Benedict truly is beautiful and heartwarming
@@Overqualification So you didn't watch it? OK. "You feel that they're dinosaurs. They have been here on this planet much longer than we have." This is all Evolutionary doctrine.
I have a rescued cockatiel I have had for 25 years and he was given to be by a wild bird rescuer. The bird is a male and i taught him to say a few words and now he is blind in one eye and can no longer walk well but he is on my shoulder most of the time. I do not know what I would do without him since losing my parents in 2003 and 2004. He is my soul mate and we do as much as we can together. So I know how this lady with the crows feels. I am almost 76 (in oct) and he is the only reason I am still living.
I have a Cockatiel too, inherited him from someone else. He is 26; I did not know they would live that long, but you and I are taking good care of them -- that's why. Glad you have your buddy for life.
@@susanleilani2408 My cousin had his store bought cockatiel for 27 years. I have heard the longest known cockatiel in captivity lived to be 35. My bird can no longer fly and and he lost his left eye to cancer but he still talks sometimes and he is still hanging in there. Sometimes he sits on my shoulder too.
Edie, you hang in there. I have started to believe that souls come to us in different forms. Animals are considered an inferior species to humans, but anyone who has spent time around them can't help but be impressed. I can't think of a time when animals (other than us) started wars. If that is progress, I will stick to my deer. If your beloved cockatiel passes, then I would recommend volunteering at a rescue site if one is near. Don't stop and don't give up. Unfortunate animals need talented people like you.
Shouldn't be your only reason my friend. You are only 76. You may live 5 more years. Or 50. God only knows. Their are many animals and people that can benefit by you simply existing. If you happen to outlive your special friend, continue on in his memory and please continue to provide companionship for one of our most beutiful native species. Advance Australia Fair.
Seeing someone toe dancing with a crow is something that I never thought I'd see. Also, I had no idea that crows made such adorable noises. In one scene, Benedict almost sounded like he was purring.
This woman restores my faith in humanity single-handedly. I wish we had more people with her views on life. Such a gem of a family, thanks for sharing.
@@youtubecensorship842 agreed. And also another thing, stop saying I wish there are more people like that bla bla bla Be the kind of person you want others to be
I’m already smitten with your birds. I’ve heard Corvids have the intelligence of a 7 year old child, I suspect they’re smarter than the average person. Thank you for sharing your delightful birds and their adorable antics🤍🖤.
I have cats and I have heard cats have intelligence of a 3 year old human toddler. Ummm, I say a 3 year old toddler will have a very hard time surviving on their own 🤷🏽♀️
Honestly if one thinks about it, it's the kind of comparison that don't say much. But we can surely say that most people underestimate the intellect of animals. But we also often attribute them with capacities that they do not have. Corvids are amazing. I have a pair of hooded crows, that visits me every day (the same precise time) for assorted nuts. So I have observed that their sense of time is better than most grown women I have dated. And they manage it without watches. I believe the sense of time, is connected to our local sense. And birds in general seem to have an astounding local sense and sense for space. That being said, humans (some) have imaginations that no animal can quite come close to. Together with the opposable thumb it makes us able to explore things in ways that many animals can't achieve. But if one observes corvids what they seem to do most, is teasing, and playing, when not foraging and exploring.
@@crotalusatrox7931 I noticed your name immediately! We have western diamondbacks where I live as well! I used to be a herp hobbiest back in the 1990s, and I worked for a reptile shop while going to college around the same time. I had lizards, however. I used to love going out herping with friends in N. Scottsdale and Fountain Hills, before it was developed. We only collected for observation, never for harming. I do have a tiny channel, if ur interested in seeing my birds! I'll sub to you as well! Take care, beary
@@bearyhot I was once the Curator of the Reptile Department at a Zoo in Louisiana. Zoology and Botany have been my life's passion for 65 years. Nice talking with a fellow herper.
I have several crows in Berlin where they are numerous .As your video began one came and sat in my bedroom .This is normal and like you, I consider it an honour.They are amazing birds with superb intelligence and memory 🖤👏🏻
Living a while in Colorado, USA, I once observed a group of magpies making noise, agitated, and walking around a dead magpie, that looked to have been hit by car. I feel they knew it was dead and were distraught. The commotion went on for a while and I didn't disturb it. Knowing how smart corvid's are, I respect them a great deal. And they have emotions for sure.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach Good to know. It really is a heavy concept for them to figure out. Wild birds are my favorite animal. So diverse, unusual ones, colors, skills, etc. So fascinating.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach Not sure if you mean me but here goes .The crows who are are always at my flat balcony ,meet me outside , are wild and they choose to fly in to me at my bedroom window .and just inside where I have Crow cafe :)
Corvids are such remarkable little creatures - when I was doing wildlife rescue I fostered a baby Raven who never forgot that kindness and after his release he used to leave little gifts on my windowsill. Now he's got a family of his own but I still see him around. The last magpie I fostered(although the Australian magpie isn't technically a corvid) keeps coming back to visit and actually comes into the house every time and when she has a new baby it really feels like she's introducing me to her kids.
I was beautifully blessed with raising 3 Crows that had been accidentally disturbed by a neighbor who was trimming a palm tree. The trio were each different from their siblings, unique in personality and disposition. Faith as I named her, was mine from the moment we met... Life is too short not to help creatures in need. I have been doing it for over 30 years. Your story was beautiful to witness. It brought many memories back to me, of my own 'crazy bird lady' life. That was my loving reference from all in the neighborhood who knew where to bring the fallen ; )
I used to rescue animals for many years now that my car doesn't run because it's set for so long because I'm in a electric wheelchair now I can still transfer I can stand and walk a little bit I can still drive I have a driver's license but it was easier to catch the bus at the time so I could have more Independence and go more places that doesn't have wheelchairs now my SUV is no good I used to carry dog food moist and drive for the dogs or cats when we had an electrical fire at the house my sister had it fixed and then it started acting up years later but I lived in the car all winter with my dog she still made a visit to the vet to get her shots I think he was hoping that would not happen but sorry Chloe I love you so much as I've always told her and other people it may be hard on me financially but it's easier to keep them well then to let them get sick and try to get them better but after she's done getting her shots and make sure she gets a special treat I'm in a nursing home I have an electric wheelchair I mean I feed the birds outside we have big Black crowes little blackbirds little sparrows I don't get to see my dog my friends have her and they don't bring her to see me I don't think they want to give her back she such a precious little 7 lb Chihuahua Chloe Marie 🐾💞 one thing I'd like to get is a camper van just something to throw a bed in the back and have some other things like cabinets or little dressers to screw to the side of the wall possibly a little fridge and I'm taking my dog my social security check and my electric wheelchair and we're going traveling I've been in this nursing home for three years this time I've been in nursing homes a total of six times this is going to be my last especially at this one these people here are mean and they yell and they swear at you the state department is here all the time nothing really changes too much but I look forward to the day when I can also leave this building yes I will miss my friends dearly but I already told them I'm not coming back to visit because it's too many bad memories the staff is mean I applied for a home choice right now it's so you can get a handicap accessible apartment I can take care of myself I have before for many years but I would like to volunteer at a shelter I've inquired but I would still like to have money to also feed and water stray cats and dogs and find them homes like I used to it would be opportune to catch them like I used to and put them in a shelter around here where I live there so many abuse cases it's just unbelievable how people do there was a lady that was working to rescue animals and they found her and it's some other people were paid to take care of these dogs in her house and for some reason the neighbors called the grass was really high and the garage door was overflowing with drunk dog carriers everything so the shelter place went there and they found 165 dead dogs in the one house in 35 in her other house they said they were going to be pressing charges hopefully jail time I said hopefully Jail time it should definitely be jail time and then the news said for all the people or should I say the monsters for not caring for them animals and getting paid for it my sister and I believe that people that do that to animals should have the same thing done to them no food no water no healthcare 😡
Awww he’s so sweet, it’s really nice that her goal is to release them back into the wild as she knows they’re wild animals, even though she’s very attached to them ♡
What a beautiful story! Just a thought on how long your babies might live....we've had a pigeon for 23 years, my husband found injured on the side of the road. Our vet said he wouldn't live overnight. So Don is at least 23 years old, he continues to amaze us! So however long a crow is supposed to live or a bird with serious health conditions, with love and good care, they can surprise! Wishing you all the best!
Crows are my favourite birds . I feed them in the mornings between 5:30am and 6:30am . One crow waits for me to fill the area with food . He than starts cawing and flies off to wake the others . They leave me bottle caps , stones and other little trinkets. They disappear for a few weeks , every now and then. I miss them while they are gone . I feed hundreds of sparrows and yard birds . Only the crows talk to me and bring me gifts . One thing I don't enjoy is when I catch them hunting . I am surrounded by open fields and the crows, love them some field mice . 😯
Lovely Lady!! She understands birds!! She realises that they are very intelligent creatures especially Crows 🐦⬛ Amazing life, extraordinary Lady!! 👍👍🐦⬛🐦⬛
This is the most beautiful story I've seen in a while on RUclips and it's covered my body in Goosebumps. Crows ravens and magpies are so unbelievably beautiful I can hardly stand it ❤️
They are beyond amazing. I had the privilege of rescuing a weak fledgling and nursing him back to health. It is one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Awwww this lady is awesome. She really loves her birds and it looks like they give each other Joy in life. Crows and Magpies are extremely smart. I’m happy this wonderful lady “adopted” these lovely birds
What a lovely, lovely clip. I love 'my' crows and look forward to my walk each day to interact with them, give them peanuts and occasionally take home some wee gift that I have been given, so when I see a person like this taking care of the needy ones, my heart just melts. It was also a bonus to see this woman circle en pointe with a crow on her hand. Swan Lake redux !!! 😊
What beautiful birds. A friend of my brother's, when he was younger, they had a crow who talked very clearly. But he used bad language, so they had to be descreet and keep him more indoors. 😊
Wonderful woman, a true true story teller. I have rescued a few birds myself. What struck me too is how fantastically intelligent they are. One bonded with me in no time despite being perfectly blind. I love stories like these. We need them so badly. Love seems to be a dying breed today. 🕊💕
I adore crows. Have one around my house that will stay and "talk" with me as long as I'm outside.....leaves me all kinds of gifts on my deck. Makes my heart smile
What a beautiful statement, "i work for my crows and magpies, they are my everything!" I can tell that YOU are their world as well! Beautiful lito nitched family 👪 ❤️
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. When walking my grand-dogs on the beach one day, along came a man with two large dogs and 3 crows hopping along beside him. We talked, he told me he fed the crows, they brought him "gifts" of various items and when he went out to walk they would walk with him and his dogs. It was fun and interesting to see.
She indicated the most important factors in all this and that is to treat these birds with Love, Respect and Compassion. Imagine if we could treat our fellow humans the same way....
Thank you for helping those sweet birds ❤️ My son & I rescued a baby pigeon when she was 10 days old. Now she is 16 months old. Birds are very sociable creatures, very intelligent, mischievous, curious. You are absolutely right when you say they are family ❤️❤️
Great story, beautiful birds. I would be highly honored to be adopted by a crow, HIGHLY. They could probably outwit me, but I don't mind. Birds are special, sorry to hear Benedict has a heart problem. At least he doesn't have to live a stressful life, he has a family w/ you and that's what counts !!! Sweet birds they are 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This woman is a gift. I just learned so much. Thank you for your love and devotion and also education to the public. Knowledge is power, its so important people understand that we share this planet, it is not OURS
Out of 8.7 million species on this planet, crows are the fourth most intelligent - the 4th!! They are worthy of your respect, your company and your love. There is a PBS documentary on the intelligence of crows that is fascinating and amazing.
Any idea what the first three are supposed to be?
La classifica è stata stillata da un genere di primati.
I love corvids! I interact with wild ones whenever I can.
@KoPHuLLloH thanks -- I had misread it as the fourth most intelligent *bird* species :-/
Yes! We live in the mountains and we have crows that protect our flock from predators. I’ve seen the trios chase hawks so far away over the mountains that you lose sight of them.
They are so smart, I think it’s hard for us to comprehend HOW smart they are.
I shared my life with a conure for 34 years. He was very devoted to me. I in turn was devoted to him. He passed the day after Memorial Day this past Spring. I still sometimes call out his name or look in his empty cage expecting to see him. We had a special bond too. Giving your heart to a bird well is very special 🤷🏼♀️
I'm sorry for your loss.
🌹
😢😢😢 I wish you still had your conure ❤
@@hammypie thank you I still have 2 other parrots with me. I adopted Rio my 31 y/o Blue and Gold Macaw when she was 10 months old. I also adopted Ozzie my u known age but at least 29 y/o. 22 of those years he’s been with me. The bond I had with my conure was special and I do have a good bond with Rio but she’s much bigger not so easy to carry her around with me like I could with Flapper. She’s having play dates with another large macaw named Chewy who was abused, he’s a green wing who had his sinuses crushed and his beak healed shut so when she went to pick him up and saw he was emaciated and his beak had been fused shut. She has to take him every six weeks just so he can eat. He’s in a fabulous home now and happy but he was subjected to severe trauma poor thing. Thanks for caring enough to send me a message 😇
oh Simone, im so sorry, even though you have other feathered friends its still a huge loss. ❤️🩹♥️♥️
You can't help admiring this woman for her commitment to her birds.she knows that all animals are sentient beings, able to perceive and feel things.
I think I fell in love with her! lol
I agree. I really feel that some creatures are unjustly maligned because they're not pretty and they don't cuddle and they're only around for food . . . but take me: I mean, anybody hates wasps, right? *I* hate wasps. I was terrified of anything that looked like it was just a big sting with wings, like bees, flying ants etc. but I had a special hatred/fear in my heart with wasps.
Until one day this creature kept buzzing around me as I sat drinking my sparkling water in the sun on my balcony, getting a tan and reading my book. I thought it was a honeybee, so I thought I might get it to stick around, because for a few years now, since my brother started beekeeping (I never visited him and saw his bees) but somehow my mind said "They must be okay."
So I went and got a tiny sampler jar of honey that I had hanging around my kitchen for years, and I put it on the window sill on the balcony . . . and sure enough, Mrs. Bee (is what I named her) came to eat some. And she stayed there all day! She never bothered me. She would buzz away on errands, but then she would make a beeline for the honeypot . . . I videoed her at ruclips.net/video/LvMCShVSrz8/видео.html . . . and then my brother emails me and says "That's a wasp."
And then I looked more closely and I saw that yes indeed, Mrs. Bee was Mrs. Yellowjacket. (You can go to my channel and see more Mrs. Bee videos) Since that day, other wasps have come to share in the treasure and not all of them have been so agree-a-bee-able but NONE OF THEM has stung me. NONE OF THEM has been scary or aggressive or threatening. I don't wave my hands and shout or throw things or react violently when one of them comes near me; I just wave whatever I'm holding CALMLY in fron of my face and they go away pretty much immediately.
I wouldn't say that I LOVE "my" wasps, but I WOULD say that the whole experience has changed my mind about wasps. Just like any wild animal, you have to respect them and share THEIR world with them as calmly and quietly as you can; don't try to approach them and just relax, and they will actually begin to TRUST you.
There . . . that's my lecture. I would just LOVE the opportunity to have a bird . . . I adore birds . . . *sigh* one day . . .
Crows are way more intelligent than dogs or any of our domesticated species.
I'll still eat bacon but... This ❤️
Yeah... but I still will kill and eat them when I have to.
For years I had a crow come to my kitchen balcony and ask for food. He made hmself look as pitiful as possible, all hunched over to one side and eyes downcast, as if life itself was forcing his body ever more downward. On rainy days he would let drops drip from his bill to show me how wet and pitiful he was and how badly he needed a little piece of raw meat (his favorite food) and of course I always gave it to him and actually ended up calling him "the actor" for his fine performances of imminent starvation. And so close to 40 years passed in this manner and the introduction of his children and grandchildren until one day ... I still mourn him and hope I might see him one more time...the time I would have grown wings to join him on his journey to whatever there is after death.

You sound like me I rescued Dog's Cat's Bird's all kind's of Animal's anything that needed help or was lost until I could find them a home or find their original owner's my Mother said in a loving way you can't save the world honey I said well I can do it one Animal at a time 💞🦮🐖🐀🐈⬛🐥🐇🐢🐦🐓🦆
Hi Gisa, your story made me cry. It's very heartwarming but sad. I went through the same experience with my pets. Sad but that's reality. That's why we have to cherish the memories & make the most of life. 💕💕
This made me tear up! How many years exactly did he come? He just stopped coming one day or did you see him die?
That's a very sweet story🥰 loving 😌 and sad 🥺 it brings tears to my eyes 😢
I also helped many different animals domestic and wild showing them love even though at times they were scared because I was a human and some humans can be cruel to animals lost dog's and cat's many times I got them from being fearful to loving and trusting my mother sister and I and whatever animals we had at the time believe me some of them were so scared it took me over a month to get that dog that the neighbor kids were throwing sticks and rocks at him I named him Skippy because he loved going in our field the grass is very high and he loved jumping so high you'd see him pop up out of the grass go back down and pop up again over and over he loved doing that the dogpound even let me borrow a big giant trap it was a very big cage no matter how much food I put in there of all different kinds he never fell for it we're sitting up in the field in my car watching him as the trap was in the yard one day my friend who is with me his brother came and said what's the trap for Skippy that dog we've been trying to catch him for a month he said I'll be right back he went home and came up with two hot dogs he said who's dog kennel is that in the back yard lol liking to be a joker I said it's my Sister's she sleeps in there and like the Pied Piper with those rats that followed him everywhere my friend's Brother started tossing little pieces of hot dogs over his shoulder as he was walking nonchalantly when he got about four feet from the kennel he stopped and he continued throwing pieces of hot dogs into the kennel 1 ft 2 ft 3 ft until Skippy got to the back corner of the kennel Johnny ran towards the door to shut it Skippy knew what he was going to do and he started running to the door at the same time Johnny slam the door and Skippy was right there trying to stick his head through the space frame and the door Johnny put his hand through put a leash around his neck gently brought him out but Skippy was so scared he was jumping three feet up in the air spinning like a fish on a line and falling sideways to the ground it made a horrible said I said Johnny hurry grab him before he gets hurt at first he wasn't able to because Skippy was going crazy 😧 he was just very scared but Johnny pick them up brought him to my SUV put him on the backseat instantly he calmed down we went to go get him some more food he fell asleep I tried to wake him up he would not wake up I literally thought I was shaking him calling his name he would not open his eyes or move I said oh my goodness did he just die he was just so exhausted he literally slept and would not wake up for anyting for 6 hours or more I'm glad I got him he was a wonderful dog I had a little Chihuahua and I needed to find Skippy a great home because I only believe in having as many animals as you can afford good food and vet care well I would always take my Chloe threw the dog part of the campground at Mosquito Lake especially on her Birthday 🎉
She would also get a cupcake and a little ice cream she never ate the whole thing but at least she had them one time a steak from Ponderosa steakhouse she would not eat it all at one time anyway we made a trip to the lake driving around asking different people on the dog side do you know anybody that would be interested in a wonderful dog we just rescued most people said no because they had dogs but there was this one family they had a camper a big tent that look like a house and a beautiful big giant truck I thought plenty of room for Skippy they had a girl and a boy and a golden retriever he said he really liked them ask his wife and they said that they would take him it was sad to see him go but it was so happy knowing that he was going to have a wonderful home they lived in Aurora Ohio one of my favorite places that's where Geauga Lake was at the time it was a wonderful Amusement Park 🎢 riding all them ride's and a beautiful area
I used to have a car and I would drive and chase after animals on foot but then I had damaged my knee so I would started taking my Sister to help me she became the runner I would carry canned dog food dry dog food water bottles bowls and paper plates even if it was an animal that would never come to me at least I could still give them food I do everyday one time we had a house fire we did lose her house it was electrical I couldn't walk up family or friends steps or that far so my dog and I lived in our car all that winter ❄️ it would be 21° in the car in the morning I made your Chloe was taken care of she even made a trip to the vet to get her shots one day we were going to drive past our old house I'd seen something in the road from the distance I thought it was a deer when we got close it was a big giant pregnant dog but you could tell she was starving so I went to a dog shelters that would give you free dog food and cat food I would go up and give her food and water everyday one day I went she was living under the steps of a beautiful vacant house she wasn't there they're elderly lady across the street said she's not there I said where did she go she said the dog catcher just came and got her I said oh no oh no I called the Mahoning County dog pound and they said they did not have her to try the Trumbull County so I did well they had her and I said please don't kill her I have been taking care of her I can't adopt her I don't have the money for that but I have been feeding and watering her they said we are not going to kill her we are going to meet a shelter from Michigan halfway and they're going to take her to the shelter they only take pregnant dogs I said can you do me a favor put in the file my phone number and ask them to send me a text to let me know she was safe and that she had her puppies well 3 Days later I'm parked in a parking lot just killing time and my phone beeped it said 8 girls and 2 boys I looked and there was a picture of her in a kiddie pool looking exhausted but relieved and all these little puppies all over inside that swimming pool I was so relieved that they were happy and safe 🙌🏼🥰🐾💞
I've rescued so many animals and I will continue
Crows, ravens, and magpies are of the Corvid family and extremely intelligent. Researchers have pegged them at 7-8 years old in terms of human development. God bless this lady and her beautiful family!
All birds are much smarter than most people give them credit for.
Isn’t Benedict a magpie?
Yes very true!.
@@maryshanley329 Benedict is a hooded crow (corvus cornix)! They look like they wear little grey jackets. Got lots of them here in Berlin, and magpies too. Magpies are smaller, wear a white jacket, have white segments in their wings, and have long tail feathers with striking iridescence. Very pretty birdies. Depends on the kind of magpie though. Pretty sure the Australian ones are bigger and a little less flamboyant lol
This bird is obviously a raven. Crows have broad yellow beaks. They are seed eaters. Ravens have narrow sharp beaks . They eat insects and worms. Great intelligence and very similar body shapes but different life styles. Both make great pets and young ones will "imprint" on a person and adopt him/her as a family member.
Thank you for saving Arcashia, Benedict, and the Magpies - now you live in a flock! ❤
If only everyone could have such a special bond with an animal...
They are soul healers.
True, very true. My life became much less complicated and much happier when I got my first dog a few years ago. I have 3 now. I literally plan my life around the beasties to make sure they always have freedom and activities and ... great healthy food. All I get in return is unconditional love and companionship.
Pretty good deal IMO.
They are empathic. My dog would take on whatever ailment I had (once I realized I felt such guilt!!), to have an animal that you can care for is such an honor. ❤️
She does seem like she has a good history with animals. Seems to know how birds think and feel.
I believe they are teachers. You have to respect their boundaries and make effort to communicate. I learned how to love unconditionally, through caring for animals and them for me when I had no one else.
Meanwhile PETA on the other hand.. Are soul destroyers they kidnap pets from owners and make excuses that “They didn’t wanna live” anymore. PETA is STUPID I HATE PETA
Thankyou for saving our wildlife and giving a home to the birds
We had pet crows on the farm. Babies blown out of their nests or maybe cast out by parents. Henry, Charlie and Poe. What interesting animals? Charlie's best friend was our tomcat. I remember the bird hopping thru the pasture by the side of the Siamese- just his tail visible in the grass. So funny. Henry was a big talker and prankster, our mother's baby. Poe was the youngest and I'd feed him tomato hornworms and grasshoppers from the garden. They all were free to come and go and would fly thru the woods to the house when we came home. Took clothespins off the line so the wash fell on the grass. Swooped in to steal the badminton birdie. Rode on the sideview mirror as Dad checked the cattle. They are endlessly fascinating animals.
How lovely.. :)
That's really cool!! Lucky you!
❤
@Beth Pemberton Your story brought a genuine smile to my face. What lovely memories! It brought back fond memories of my childhood too, living out on the ranch and all the wonders of exploring the land and watching the animals. It’s the best way to live your childhood in my opinion. 💗
@@dalerimoller272 thank you. At this stage of 65 years they are pleasant memories indeed! We even painted the toenails of one of the crows. Henry, I think. Naturally little girls would do that and he watched with great interest as we tipped those talons with Momma's red nail polish.
This woman understands love. What a heartwarming story this is.
This woman looks like she lives in a fairytale. She is a beautiful ballet 🩰 dancer, turning with a wild bird perched on her hand. Standing in a pure, white, pillowy , scene of snow ❄️ ! Breathtaking!
lol
you’ll soon realise the evil when you say his name 10 times
thank god for tis kind lady for rescuing these beautiful birds .
This lady has a big and compassionate heart ❤❤
Few people understand that once a bird bonds with you it is for life. Having 2 Macaws and 1 Cockatoo for over 30 years they are my family and will be for decades to come.
My male Eccy is 11, and I love him to pieces. He loves me back, and is an excellent talker and has learned to use words to ask for what he wants. The love of a bird is very special, and greater than the love of a dog or cat.
What a beautiful being yiou are! Thank you for loving these birds so much!!!!
What a beautiful story. This lady has a heart of gold! A few weeks ago a crow hit a transformer near my house. It knocked out the power everywhere. I walked over to the telephone pole and seen the crow almost lifeless at the bottom of the pole. He smelled like burned feathers. I held him to keep it safe from cats until it recovered from the shock. I let it go and it flew across the street to the other crows. They are my favorite birds because i feed squirrels and the crows always alert me and the squirrels when a hawk is around. Very smart birds!!!👍🥰
Great rescue job you did and you will be remembered forever ..Crows saved my life and to this day come to my balcony and to a special dining facility just in the bedroom.. They line up .Never fight and make no mess. Also worthy of note they never decide to fly around the bedroom ,Impeccable manners .If we had more such birds & fewer powered politicians the world would be much better.
Thank you so much for protecting him in a vulnerable moment. The crow will remember your kindness💐
@@HelenaMikas what a beautiful relationship you have with them! Thankyou for being so kind to them! They are incredible smart for sure. So happy they were there for you in your time of need and that they have a safe place to eat at your bedroom. That is way to cool!🥰👍👍👍🙏😊😊😊
@@GGiblet They are awesome in every way. So intelligent and anyone that protects my squirrels is a friend of mine!🥰👍🙏🙏🥰
Good job! One time, I saved a fledgling (not a crow) from the neighbor's cat and got him/her to a wildlife sanctuary.
When she described them as naughty and cunning, It was so fitting and actually is a very cute combination
She truly is a guardian angel to these incredibly smart and beautiful birds I hope that she continues to help many more birds for many more years to come the relationship that she has got with both Benedict and Acasha but especially Benedict truly is beautiful and heartwarming
She is doing a nice thing with birds, but calling on the gods of Evolution for help at 2:12 was sad to see.
@@earlysda What?
@@Overqualification At 2:12, the woman in the video called on the gods of Evolution. That was sad to see.
Do you understand now?
@@earlysda Can you quote exactly what she said that makes you think that?
@@Overqualification So you didn't watch it? OK. "You feel that they're dinosaurs. They have been here on this planet much longer than we have."
This is all Evolutionary doctrine.
I have a rescued cockatiel I have had for 25 years and he was given to be by a wild bird rescuer. The bird is a male and i taught him to say a few words and now he is blind in one eye and can no longer walk well but he is on my shoulder most of the time.
I do not know what I would do without him since losing my parents in 2003 and 2004. He is my soul mate and we do as much as we can together. So I know how this lady with the crows feels. I am almost 76 (in oct) and he is the only reason I am still living.
I have a Cockatiel too, inherited him from someone else. He is 26; I did not know they would live that long, but you and I are taking good care of them -- that's why. Glad you have your buddy for life.
@@susanleilani2408 My cousin had his store bought cockatiel for 27 years. I have heard the longest known cockatiel in captivity lived to be 35. My bird can no longer fly and and he lost his left eye to cancer but he still talks sometimes and he is still hanging in there. Sometimes he sits on my shoulder too.
I've been there I completely understand. Truly a bff and they teach u so much life wisdom.
Edie, you hang in there. I have started to believe that souls come to us in different forms. Animals are considered an inferior species to humans, but anyone who has spent time around them can't help but be impressed. I can't think of a time when animals (other than us) started wars. If that is progress, I will stick to my deer. If your beloved cockatiel passes, then I would recommend volunteering at a rescue site if one is near. Don't stop and don't give up. Unfortunate animals need talented people like you.
Shouldn't be your only reason my friend.
You are only 76. You may live 5 more years. Or 50. God only knows.
Their are many animals and people that can benefit by you simply existing. If you happen to outlive your special friend, continue on in his memory and please continue to provide companionship for one of our most beutiful native species.
Advance Australia Fair.
This lady is incredible. Thank you for serving your crow and magpie babies!
Seeing someone toe dancing with a crow is something that I never thought I'd see.
Also, I had no idea that crows made such adorable noises. In one scene, Benedict almost sounded like he was purring.
Yes, this lady at the beginning mentioned dogs, and I first thought the crow sounded like a dog!!!
This woman restores my faith in humanity single-handedly. I wish we had more people with her views on life. Such a gem of a family, thanks for sharing.
Shes russian… all awful
Protip: if your faith is broken and restored constantly, you never actually had it to begin with.
@@youtubecensorship842 agreed. And also another thing, stop saying I wish there are more people like that bla bla bla
Be the kind of person you want others to be

I’m already smitten with your birds. I’ve heard Corvids have the intelligence of a 7 year old child, I suspect they’re smarter than the average person. Thank you for sharing your delightful birds and their adorable antics🤍🖤.
I have cats and I have heard cats have intelligence of a 3 year old human toddler. Ummm, I say a 3 year old toddler will have a very hard time surviving on their own 🤷🏽♀️
@@spicybrown75 Pretty much false, because cats (and crows) are *much* smarter than 3 and 7 year olds.
@@AsheeBep exactly!
@@spicybrown75 :D
Honestly if one thinks about it, it's the kind of comparison that don't say much. But we can surely say that most people underestimate the intellect of animals. But we also often attribute them with capacities that they do not have.
Corvids are amazing. I have a pair of hooded crows, that visits me every day (the same precise time) for assorted nuts. So I have observed that their sense of time is better than most grown women I have dated. And they manage it without watches. I believe the sense of time, is connected to our local sense. And birds in general seem to have an astounding local sense and sense for space.
That being said, humans (some) have imaginations that no animal can quite come close to. Together with the opposable thumb it makes us able to explore things in ways that many animals can't achieve. But if one observes corvids what they seem to do most, is teasing, and playing, when not foraging and exploring.
A crow came into my life and completely changed it. My whole life is now based around the crow I live with. He/she is my family
I have 2 special needs macaws, and they're the loves of my life, and I'd add a birdie like Benedict, to my flock, any day!
I feel you, I have a scarlet and a blue & gold macaw plus a Moluccan Cockatoo, never a dull moment in my house.
Cringe af.
@@crotalusatrox7931 I noticed your name immediately! We have western diamondbacks where I live as well! I used to be a herp hobbiest back in the 1990s, and I worked for a reptile shop while going to college around the same time. I had lizards, however. I used to love going out herping with friends in N. Scottsdale and Fountain Hills, before it was developed. We only collected for observation, never for harming. I do have a tiny channel, if ur interested in seeing my birds! I'll sub to you as well! Take care, beary
@@bearyhot I was once the Curator of the Reptile Department at a Zoo in Louisiana. Zoology and Botany have been my life's passion for 65 years. Nice talking with a fellow herper.
@@Lamiishere Like your life. I don’t see the point of even replying to that. I’m guessing this video is cringe too?
i ADORE my FATHER'S creation...
I have several crows in Berlin where they are numerous .As your video began one came and sat in my bedroom .This is normal and like you, I consider it an honour.They are amazing birds with superb intelligence and memory 🖤👏🏻
Living a while in Colorado, USA, I once observed a group of magpies making noise, agitated, and walking around a dead magpie, that looked to have been hit by car. I feel they knew it was dead and were distraught. The commotion went on for a while and I didn't disturb it. Knowing how smart corvid's are, I respect them a great deal. And they have emotions for sure.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach Good to know. It really is a heavy concept for them to figure out. Wild birds are my favorite animal. So diverse, unusual ones, colors, skills, etc. So fascinating.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach Not sure if you mean me but here goes .The crows who are are always at my flat balcony ,meet me outside , are wild and they choose to fly in to me at my bedroom window .and just inside where I have Crow cafe :)
One of the delights on a recent trip to Berlin was the many hooded crows across the city.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach yes They have a table just inside .
Corvids are such remarkable little creatures - when I was doing wildlife rescue I fostered a baby Raven who never forgot that kindness and after his release he used to leave little gifts on my windowsill. Now he's got a family of his own but I still see him around. The last magpie I fostered(although the Australian magpie isn't technically a corvid) keeps coming back to visit and actually comes into the house every time and when she has a new baby it really feels like she's introducing me to her kids.
What a handsome boy! You can tell she adores him.
I was beautifully blessed with raising 3 Crows that had been accidentally disturbed by a neighbor who was trimming a palm tree. The trio were each different from their siblings, unique in personality and disposition. Faith as I named her, was mine from the moment we met... Life is too short not to help creatures in need. I have been doing it for over 30 years. Your story was beautiful to witness. It brought many memories back to me, of my own 'crazy bird lady' life. That was my loving reference from all in the neighborhood who knew where to bring the fallen ; )
I used to rescue animals for many years now that my car doesn't run because it's set for so long because I'm in a electric wheelchair now I can still transfer I can stand and walk a little bit I can still drive I have a driver's license but it was easier to catch the bus at the time so I could have more Independence and go more places that doesn't have wheelchairs now my SUV is no good I used to carry dog food moist and drive for the dogs or cats when we had an electrical fire at the house my sister had it fixed and then it started acting up years later but I lived in the car all winter with my dog she still made a visit to the vet to get her shots I think he was hoping that would not happen but sorry Chloe I love you so much as I've always told her and other people it may be hard on me financially but it's easier to keep them well then to let them get sick and try to get them better but after she's done getting her shots and make sure she gets a special treat I'm in a nursing home I have an electric wheelchair I mean I feed the birds outside we have big Black crowes little blackbirds little sparrows I don't get to see my dog my friends have her and they don't bring her to see me I don't think they want to give her back she such a precious little 7 lb Chihuahua
Chloe Marie 🐾💞 one thing I'd like to get is a camper van just something to throw a bed in the back and have some other things like cabinets or little dressers to screw to the side of the wall possibly a little fridge and I'm taking my dog my social security check and my electric wheelchair and we're going traveling I've been in this nursing home for three years this time I've been in nursing homes a total of six times this is going to be my last especially at this one these people here are mean and they yell and they swear at you the state department is here all the time nothing really changes too much but I look forward to the day when I can also leave this building yes I will miss my friends dearly but I already told them I'm not coming back to visit because it's too many bad memories the staff is mean I applied for a home choice right now it's so you can get a handicap accessible apartment I can take care of myself I have before for many years but I would like to volunteer at a shelter I've inquired but I would still like to have money to also feed and water stray cats and dogs and find them homes like I used to it would be opportune to catch them like I used to and put them in a shelter around here where I live there so many abuse cases it's just unbelievable how people do there was a lady that was working to rescue animals and they found her and it's some other people were paid to take care of these dogs in her house and for some reason the neighbors called the grass was really high and the garage door was overflowing with drunk dog carriers everything so the shelter place went there and they found 165 dead dogs in the one house in 35 in her other house they said they were going to be pressing charges hopefully jail time I said hopefully Jail time it should definitely be jail time and then the news said for all the people or should I say the monsters for not caring for them animals and getting paid for it my sister and I believe that people that do that to animals should have the same thing done to them no food no water no healthcare 😡
Awww he’s so sweet, it’s really nice that her goal is to release them back into the wild as she knows they’re wild animals, even though she’s very attached to them ♡
The woman obviously is a very loving compassionate person, bless her
What a beautiful story! Just a thought on how long your babies might live....we've had a pigeon for 23 years, my husband found injured on the side of the road. Our vet said he wouldn't live overnight. So Don is at least 23 years old, he continues to amaze us!
So however long a crow is supposed to live or a bird with serious health conditions, with love and good care, they can surprise! Wishing you all the best!
How lovely - pigeons are very special!

Black and silver.. such majestic birds
What an amazing woman. My faith in humanity is restored once again..
GOD BLESS these people for adopting these beautiful animals!!
God bless Russians?
This lady is my hero. Mad respect for her respect for living beings.
Crows are my favourite birds . I feed them in the mornings between 5:30am and 6:30am . One crow waits for me to fill the area with food . He than starts cawing and flies off to wake the others . They leave me bottle caps , stones and other little trinkets. They disappear for a few weeks , every now and then. I miss them while they are gone . I feed hundreds of sparrows and yard birds . Only the crows talk to me and bring me gifts . One thing I don't enjoy is when I catch them hunting . I am surrounded by open fields and the crows, love them some field mice . 😯
Corvids are my absolute favorite birds. I would gladly open my door and home for a baby in need
I have several special needs cats. I feel this!
Benedict sounds like he's barking, almost . Cute, affectionate birds who love someone taking great care of them..
What an awesome mom she is 💐👏🏼
Shes the kind of person id feel safe letting take care of my dog 😊
Wonderful woman and beautiful story of kindness and compassion.
Lovely Lady!! She understands birds!! She realises that they are very intelligent creatures especially Crows 🐦⬛ Amazing life, extraordinary Lady!! 👍👍🐦⬛🐦⬛
This is the most beautiful story I've seen in a while on RUclips and it's covered my body in Goosebumps. Crows ravens and magpies are so unbelievably beautiful I can hardly stand it ❤️
This woman is my spirit animal.
What a phenomenal human being, and such a soothing voice!
That's a wonderful family!!
Benedict curled together enjoying cuddles is the sweetest thing
Benedict makes a sound like a little dog and it's really sweet. So happy all these beautiful birds have you as their family.
God bless people who rescue and adopt special needs animals. You are all my heroes.
They are beyond amazing. I had the privilege of rescuing a weak fledgling and nursing him back to health. It is one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Awwww this lady is awesome. She really loves her birds and it looks like they give each other Joy in life. Crows and Magpies are extremely smart. I’m happy this wonderful lady “adopted” these lovely birds
Benedict makes the sweetest noises. His little sqwauks and chirps warm my heart😭
What a lovely, lovely clip. I love 'my' crows and look forward to my walk each day to interact with them, give them peanuts and occasionally take home some wee gift that I have been given, so when I see a person like this taking care of the needy ones, my heart just melts. It was also a bonus to see this woman circle en pointe with a crow on her hand. Swan Lake redux !!! 😊
What a wonderful story. FAMILY isn't always by birth. Family is love. Pure and simple.
Hi how are you and I guess you are a pet's lover?
What beautiful birds. A friend of my brother's, when he was younger, they had a crow who talked very clearly. But he used bad language, so they had to be descreet and keep him more indoors. 😊
God bless her for saving Benedict 🥺❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for giving them beautiful life and care. Bless you and family🤗💖
I simply adore crows, ravens, and magpies. They are smart, strong-willed, sweet, and they love to communicate.
Wonderful woman, a true true story teller. I have rescued a few birds myself. What struck me too is how fantastically intelligent they are. One bonded with me in no time despite being perfectly blind. I love stories like these. We need them so badly. Love seems to be a dying breed today. 🕊💕

This woman's voice is astounding and her heart too
What a wonderful woman to save these magnificent birds!
This lady is good to animals, that is a sign of a good person
Their story is incredible ❤️
I adore crows. Have one around my house that will stay and "talk" with me as long as I'm outside.....leaves me all kinds of gifts on my deck. Makes my heart smile
What a beautiful statement, "i work for my crows and magpies, they are my everything!" I can tell that YOU are their world as well! Beautiful lito nitched family 👪 ❤️
This woman has the most beautiful voice.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. When walking my grand-dogs on the beach one day, along came a man with two large dogs and 3 crows hopping along beside him. We talked, he told me he fed the crows, they brought him "gifts" of various items and when he went out to walk they would walk with him and his dogs. It was fun and interesting to see.
There's something special about having what would be a wild animal as a friend. That can leave anytime it wants to, but doesn't.
Wonderful story. The birds are lucky to have such a loving mummy. They are lovely 😍
It is so true we are not alone in this world everything has a purpose to fulfilling.Very kind.
She indicated the most important factors in all this and that is to treat these birds with Love, Respect and Compassion. Imagine if we could treat our fellow humans the same way....
Thank you soooooooo much for you love and kindness!! Bless all of you!! Joannie
This lovely woman is a bird whisperer. God bless her.🥰
So much love and bonding. Our pets are our family and they love with no condition. Bless you, lady of the birds...❤️❤️
Beautiful birds, lovely lady. I know how Varia feels. I love my rescue corvids, too ❤. They are the gentlemen of the universe.
1:20 melted my heart! that is the cutest thing i've seen in awhile.
It’s truly admirable her dedication and without hesitation.
I have always loved Crows. Bless this dear woman for all she does for them
I liked her voice. So calm for unintentional ASMR !
This woman reminds me of my grandmother, intelligent, beautiful, caring yet strong classical type of woman you hardly ever find these days.
She is amazing and Benedict at 4:19 left me speechless, he is so intelligent.
God bless this wonderful women and her birds with long, healthy and prosperous lives
This is just so so adorable! Especially when she called them naughty and cunning!
This women is beautiful as are the animals.
Special souls have a loving understanding and bond with animals 💖
Thank you for helping those sweet birds ❤️ My son & I rescued a baby pigeon when she was 10 days old. Now she is 16 months old. Birds are very sociable creatures, very intelligent, mischievous, curious. You are absolutely right when you say they are family ❤️❤️
That lady needs to narrate a nature documentary. Her voice is beautiful and relaxing.
I love her attitude. Speaks to my heart.
What a beautiful Person this lady Is. She and her magical birds are very lucky to have met 🥰💖💖💖✨✨✨✨✨
Great story, beautiful birds. I would be highly honored to be adopted by a crow, HIGHLY. They could probably outwit me, but I don't mind. Birds are special, sorry to hear Benedict has a heart problem. At least he doesn't have to live a stressful life, he has a family w/ you and that's what counts !!! Sweet birds they are 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I believe the crow saw a picture of your son. A crow never forgets a face. Blessings to you all. Shalom.
This is so very touching! Oh, how wonderful of you to rescue Benedict and Arcasha! Not everyone would have. :)
I have nothing but total respect for this lady she is a great woman
This woman is a gift. I just learned so much. Thank you for your love and devotion and also education to the public. Knowledge is power, its so important people understand that we share this planet, it is not OURS

Thank you for taking care of this precious creature 💖
