OK so I was feeling active today so I decided to go back out for another walk to the lake. This time I brought the whole bag of almonds…

And here is a twist… I made friends with a crow. A crow!!! :joy: .

It was surprisingly completly call and sat and hung out with me eating from my hand.

I taught it how to break the almond so it was easier to eat.

It sat right next to my shoulder for like 20 mins.

Then when I got to the other side of the lake , it had flown over there and met me again, with its partner this time :heart:

After it had eaten a lot, it begun taking the broken almonds from my hand but it didn’t swallow them, it packed its mouth full and when I said “OK bye now I gotta go” it flew off back to its nest to take the almonds there coz I think it has babies to feed :heart:

It was so smart and sweet and gentle with me!!

The special guest cutie had a differnt beak. It was much longer and it curled over more.

It was so interesting watching it get curious about me. It was very shy and it wouldn’t eat from my hand , I had to throw the almonds to it.

I will do some research and find out what breed of cockatoo it is.

See how he is holding the almond under his foot? This is when we first met, on the first side of the lake… It took me about 30 mins to walk to the other side of the lake, and he was there to meet me again :heart:

MAYHEM :joy:

it took 24 hours for them to spread the word that almonds are back in stock.

After the park play session, they came to my apartment two more times in the late after noon.

I counted 14 of them on my window at one point :joy:

Im guessing my neighbours are not loving the LOUD noises they make :joy:

:rofl: Wow! There are a lot of them. Word spread quickly. That’s very respectful of them not to poop on your window. The old saying applies… they don’t shit where they eat.

Hey April. Sorry to crash your birdies thread but i definitely thought of you here.
Volume up.

It’s 2 plus minutes long and nothing happens at the end. So you can stop listening to it when you’ve had enough.

This morning I tried an experiment.

The whole crew turned up at 7am. I decided to go down stairs to the garden instead of feeding them from my window.

I wanted to see if they would fly onto my arms.

It worked. They were sitting on my shoulders and arms in a few mintues :joy:

I think from now on, when they turn up , I’ll just walk down to my garden and hang with them there. Less almond mess on my window for me to clean :joy:

Then I went across the road to the lake, and it wasn’t long till they flew over and met me there.

They were so confident with there step ups that at one point I had one on each arm and one on my head lol :joy:

I had my beenie on my head so u was worried that its claws would get stuck in the beenie , so I shut that down quick smart :thinking:

The crow was also there in a minute as soon as I got to the spot where we met… I tried to train it to step up onto my arm, it was almost there, then a dog walked past and it got a fright and flew off.

I give it a few days and I think il have the crow sitting on my arm :laughing:
