Dear Joan: An interesting thing happened in my yard last week.

As soon as I got home, I heard loud (very loud) calls of about a dozen crows in the backyard. I looked outside and saw crows entering the swimming pool around the steps.

I went outside and chased them away. When I approached, I saw a crow lying in the pool. I scooped him out with a rake and placed it gently on the pool deck. The crow has been calling out loudly on the tree.

I went back inside and looked at the crows on the deck. After a few minutes, he stood up and walked away gently. The crow was quiet.

I think the crow has been calling for help. Although I am not a big fan of Crow, it is very touching.

Dear Stephanie: I like this story for many reasons, the most important of which is that you may have just become the crow goddess.

Let's start with loud calls. They are not calling people to save their compatriots, they are mourning him. Crows are somewhat unique in the animal world because they hold funerals for their fallen companions in the flock, or may be guardians. They surrounded the body with all their strength and screamed-also called scolding.

Are they expressing their grief, trying to wake the dead, or it is more likely to act as a cryer in the town, spread the news that the crow is dead, and anything that kills the crow may pose a threat to the rest of the flock. do not know yet. But they, like you, may think the bird is dead.

When you respectfully lift the bird from his tomb that is about to become water, the crow is watching. They left the area around the swimming pool, but they stayed in the tree. Their calls may be warning you to leave the bird alone.

When the bird was resurrected, it left his brothers speechless. Do they think you have performed a miracle? Maybe, but we do know that birds will remember goodwill and aggressive behavior towards them. Crows have the ability to recognize human faces. Those who threatened or hurt them will be remembered, and in the future, the crow will do everything possible to make the life of the offender miserable.

Do some good things, such as putting food, and the crow will show respect. Don't be surprised if you find a small gift-shiny pebbles or pieces of paper at the door of your home. Raising a crow from the dead is definitely worthy of the crow’s awe and gratitude. If the crow behaves differently to you, please let me know.

Finally, I am very happy to have a positive story about the crow. They are one of the most abused birds in the backyard. They are loud, aggressive, famous for preying on other birds' nestlings, and carry a lot of superstitious baggage about the harbingers of death and doom.
