Gaining the trust of wild animals?

Thats got to be one of the neatest stories I've read here on the forum. Look forward to seeing the pictures. Thanks for sharing that.

Good story (heck, even the elephant story is good).

When I was a kid, we had a crow that came to us in similar circumstances. He lived with us for almost ten years -- roosted in a tree off our back deck, and came in every morning for breakfast. He would land on your shoulder, and he did a great job keeping the stray cats out of the yard.

For years, he was stalked by hawks and falcons. He didn't fly as high or as far as the neighborhood crows, and the way that he hung around the house attracted attention, since he probably looked weak and isolated. One day, a redtail got him.

Come to think of it, I think that bastard had a gimpy leg.

It was indeed -- but the whole thing is true, even the redtail. Up until the part about the gimpy leg.

;)

Our crow was named Edgar -- he had been a rescued fledgling, and donated to a natural history museum once he became too much for the rescuer to handle. One of my brothers worked there, and he brought him home. We were the first ones to let him out of a cage, and he seemed to really love being able to live outside (but with the comforts of home close at hand).

Until that damn gimpy redtail came along....
