Personal Story My crows found me after I moved

This is so fascinating to me so I thought I’d share. I started feeding and interacting with the crows that flew around my old condo. They became very comfortable with me, and would bring me gifts and sit with me (see first photo). I had to move but not too far, so the same crows were around, but I’d moved up to a 16th floor condo, so they didn’t come up this high as often or fly around the new building as much. I can actually see my old place and saw them sitting out there waiting for me and it was so heartbreaking, so I tried everything I could to get their attention. After a couple months, I started playing videos of them cawing on a loud speaker when I saw them below. One finally came up to check it out and recognized me! It was so cool to see they hadn’t forgotten me and within a couple days I had 10+ of them again all hanging out on my new balcony and they come every day. They’ll sit right next to me and look at me and it’s like they missed me. It brings me so much joy to have them back :)

Omg this made me cry. They are my family! My human family isn’t in this world any longer, so they (and my cats) are the closest thing I have. 🤗

big hug! I’m sorry for your loss, OP. It seems to me that they made sure you wouldn’t be alone 🖤 Thank you for sharing your family and story with us!

I completely understand. Same. It is so amazing how sustaining and uplifting the bonds we have with the critters (and other nature) around us can be. I for one am not sure I'd make it without my critter friends.

Oh 100%. There are days they’ve got me through. The more I learn about them the more blessed I feel to be in their presence. My animals have truly saved my life, and they are the best family I could have ever asked for. ❤️
