cafemondo Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 We stopped using the fire a couple of months ago and the crows moved in to the chimney. This silly sod fell out of the nest this morning and became trapped etc and here he is. Hes not going back as its inaccesable so hes now mine. Feeds off the spoon a Mix of my saliva and dogfood at the moment, mmm tasty. Feel free to suggest names Hes one hardcore hombre. With some really blue eyes. Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Reminds me of when we had a nest of starlings in the hole where the old boiler pipe used to run up the exterior of my parents house. Used to always find 'em on the floor near the dining room window. (BTW, edited your second pic cafemondo before someone starts complaining ) Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'd call him "Smiler" or "Happy" cos he has that look on his face. Oddly enough, a similar thing happened to me on Saturday night. I was walking the dogs before bed when something hit me on the head. I looked down, whipped out my taclight (as you do) and scanned around. I thought I'd been hit by a pine-cone or summat but it turned out that a chick of some sort had obviously fallen out of the nest and it was just sitting on the ground. I hung around for 10 minutes but he didn't move so I decided to take it home with me. He didn't seem to be hurt but must've been dazed from falling out of the tree. I broke up a slice of wholemeal bread into tiny lumps and filled a (clean) ash tray with water and left him sat on a shelf in the kitchen for the night. He hopped about for a few minutes then went to sleep. The dog came to wake me up at about 5.30am. When I got up she trotted into the kitchen and just sat in the doorway. I looked around and saw that the chick had scoffed the bread, drunk the water, had a good sleep and was now bouncing backward and forward along the window-sill. Opened the window and he jumped outside, hung around for a couple of minutes and then flew off. I was quite chuffed about that. Birds tend to die of shock very easily.

scorch Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 He looks distinctly narked off in that top pic. I think you should call him Brandon (for old school crow reference) Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Quite a cool pet. Don't try and release it later on though, it'll be too used to humans and domesticated. Link to post Share on other sites
USNDOC Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I tried nursing a crow back to health after he fell out of a tree. Named him Larry Bird, but he died a week later due to an unwillingness to eat (i eventually resorted to shoving food into his craw) and general malaise. I think he'd been on the ground quite a while before I found him Link to post Share on other sites
mewantpie Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Aww... He's quite handsome. In a childish sort of way. Sadly, you don't get falling little birds in Hong Kong. Firstly, we don't have a chimney. Secondly, if it does fall down, it's probably dead. (Stupid air pollution ) ilikepie~ Link to post Share on other sites

horzathesecound Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I think the crow is cool. Now, are you going to train him to sit on your shoulder? You know what the next step is, get him a tiny pair of goggles and train him to get intel for you team... Anyone else suprised that he just sits on the hand like that?
