My Crow Friends

My best friends are two crows who live near me.  I call them 'Gloom' and 'Gloomette' - the Gloom Crows!


I've been feeding these crows since 2012 and in doing so have earned their trust.  Every day I go to their feeding spot and leave food there for them.  When they see me they fly over and take the food.  It's the most rewarding feeling, that these wild creatures recognise me and know that I'm a friend.

Often, when I am walking up the hill to get to the feeding spot, I can see Gloom on top of a nearby building waiting for me. 

Gloom, the male, is the braver of the two and he comes down to feed when I'm still there. 



Gloomette, the female, is more timid and usually waits until I walk away.




It is such a privilege to have these two crows as my friends and every day I am so happy to see them and they always seem happy to see me too.
