We had a pet for a short time

 

Last Saturday in the early evening, this crow was drinking water from the saucer of a plant on our patio.  When he left, he appeared to have a broken wing and was limping!   I phoned The Wildlife Rescue Association of BC but they were closed.  The website said to catch the bird and put it in a box with holes.  I don't know how easy it would be to catch a crow.

We got up Sunday and he was not in our yard.  We hoped he flew away but he appeared again on Sunday night.  He wasn't limping as much and I named him "Chester" (Gunsmoke if your old enough to remember).  He was eating the blueberries from our bush he could reach.  I looked in my cupboard and the granola has a lot of seeds so I thought at least that's organic and healthy.  Not sure if he would like it but we added some blueberries (no milk) and it was gone on Monday.  I've put a small water dish outside so he's always got water.  

He came back one night and we haven't seen him since.  Maybe he heard my call to the Wildlife Rescue people.  I hope his wing and leg healed and he wasn't taken out by one of our neighbourhood coyotes!   

Gone but not forgotton....Chester the Crow!
