Fur and Feathers

Post by CT_Shooter » Fri Sep 19, 2025 9:10 am

Kyle Melnick for the Washington Post" wrote:...Meeko recently took a liking to an injured wild crow that showed up in her yard in Portland, Oregon. To her [owner's] surprise, the crow felt likewise, and now they’re “thick as thieves”.

The two now run around together and take naps side by side. Sometimes the crow pecks on the glass door to get Meeko to come outside and play.

I think all creatures are smarter than most of us give them credit for being.

There is a den of foxes on the ridge above where we live. It's all wooded. They raise a batch of kits every year and they don't bother us and we let them be. I like to watch them on my game cameras.
Now I personally haven't seen this, but my neighbor Kat says that the male fox comes down the ridge every day to play with her cat. She says they take turns chasing each other around the yard. They're buddies.
I'd like to see it for myself.

Crows divebomb my tractor and xxxx on it. I think they don’t like me plinking.
