This is Alfie...our resident Crow....(actually, probably one of a few we have, but because we think we have two pairs and they all look the same pretty much, we call them all 'Alfie'....) We have a crows nest in our side wood by the road and one pair flies there straight from the bird feeder - and regularly fights off the bird of prey that has also nested near our house this year (although on our neighbours land). The bird of prey has been trying to get at the nest over recent weeks. Anyway, we call the crow Alfie....it's a very well fed crow :) Today it ate a whole box of date scones and half a melon :) It can fly off with a whole scone in its mouth - it must hoard it all in its nest because a minute later it is back for more!!! It just clears the table FAST!!!
If I don't put food out for it then it does regular sweeps of the area throughout the day to see if I HAVE put food out for it......
Most people don't like crows but I actually think Alfie is quite a charmer and a real character - and VERY clever!!! :)
Remind me to search on youtube for the crows cracking nuts video!!!
