Crows. I respect them. I believe they are intelligent. I don't know much about them but I know they're smart and can learn. I'm a bit superstitious perhaps even leery about their possible connection with higher powers based on rumors I've heard... that kind of thing.
But none the less, crows can be such... nasty, crotchety creatures.
I've been walking in the park daily with Alexander and always watch these birds respectfully and with the benefit of the doubt. Well, just 2 days ago as I left the park, I guess I pissed one of these birds off by walking too close to him??? He dropped a rock about a foot away from my head. About the size of a circle you make with your thumb and index finger. Seriously. It landed with a startling "clack" on the hood of the car next to me. What a cranky bastard!
This then reminded me of a rather remarkable crow fight I witnessed on the way to preggo-yoga a few months back.

I was waddling along when I noticed a woman pushing a carriage on the other side of the street pretty much in stride with me when I heard a crazy-nasty angry racket coming from a driveway near the lady. We both followed the sound into the driveway where we saw 2 crows tumbling about the ground screaming crow-profanities at each other whilst stabbing each other with their beaks!
The lady and I stood and watched in shock while they battled it out. We did make a point of keeping a safe distance, then exchanged similarly shocked expressions and murmurs of disbelief!
Crows can be such nasty, crotchety creatures!
