Crows: the Other Side of Them Helen Patriquin Turchinetz

We moved here 45 years ago. I wanted a sunny house and land because we lived in a city. We had a sick baby and wanted him outside. I was always outside and hung my laundry outside. That is how I got to know the crows and the crows got to know me, which took about 10 years. My story reflects short stories of some of the interesting things they have done. Crows and Blue jays are both grouped together. Two different birds, both aggressive, Blue jays are selfish, Crows are calmer. Crows uselessly stay in a group of five and take of their families. They will share some food with little birds and will protect them from predators.
