I love crows. I had childhood friends with one that was a pet. he actually talked! Lots live in my backyard in the trees...so enjoyable for me. Neighbors are not so fond of them because they believe they scare other birds away. I haven't noticed that.
Corbin looks right at home in your sewing room. How much fun for you. I know he makes you smile!

I love Corbin too! Very dapper in his tophat. It would be difficult to just choose one!
Crows are fascinating birds. Years ago someone around here at the UW did a study. They said the crows use their "language" like we do. They apparently murmur stories to each other at night when they go in to roost and they have names for each other. Also, I used to feed the crows by my building when I worked at the UW. They would see my car coming and follow along, flying along with the car. They wanted their meat!

My grandma's family used to raise crows when she was a child (not sure why, just as pets maybe?) and she had a pet crow that was her best friend. He didn't talk but he followed her everywhere, and would sit outside school waiting for her. How cool is that? When she passed away, her guild worked with my aunts and made a quilt to honor her life, and one of the blocks they included featured a crow.
They're amazing creatures. They can count, they can share information...and they don't go to work all day. Who's the smarter one, them or us? LOL

I hope the maker comes to a guild meeting soon so I can meet her and tell her how much I love Corbin...and maybe find out if any of his flock mates are still looking for new homes! There was a crow named "Cordelia" that almost came home with me but Corbin in particular really stole my heart with that little crook of his head. I know if I asked Corbin he'd tell me he could use a girlfriend, lol.
