Index of Subjects Yes Annabelle, they are quite fascinating and fun-loving creatures. I had a crow with a broken wing last fall, and ever since I've had the honor of having a flock of friendly crows around the neighborhood. They often follow me, cawing back and forth with each other, and when there's no one around to call me crazy I join in the conversation myself; they seem to enjoy my attempt at communicating in their language.
