For the last two days a pair of crows have been torturing me outside my window. After checking to see if there were any babies flopping around, I found two fledglings stuck in between the back of the neighboring apartment building and a cinder block wall. Patty went into full mother hen mode and had them in a basket giving them a little water.
So, I went on Wikipedia and learned more than I wanted to know about the subject. Pound for pound, crows have as much brains as our cousins the apes.
Long story short, they're back up in the tree and I didn't fall off my 24' extension ladder in the process. Woo hooo!
