I’ve changed a lot since having kids. I’m not gonna try and force friendship or force someone to be in mine or my children’s lives. I understand everyone changes and I’m not upset about it. How can I be when nothing I do can change that. But I can just be done with hoping that for once you actually follow through with what you say. Hoping that maybe this time is different. I can’t sit here hoping and putting my life on hold just because I still want you in my life even though you have made it clear that you don’t want me in yours. I hope you have a good life.
The crows she feeds obviously have their own little lives. They go about their business, and they spot *pretty thing* or /unique thing/ in question. What gets me is that the *first* thing on their minds as recipient of this thing is the little girl that feeds them.
They spot a thing, and immediately must think, “that nice girl with delicious foodstuffs must have this to show my gratitude.”
It’s actually more than that, though, if you read the articles or watch the videos. This has taken place over YEARS- it started with these birds following this little girl around because she was a messy eater and it has turned into a ritual for the family. They have a water station and food stations where they daily set out things for these birds and sometimes (but not always), these birds leave ‘payment’ behind for the food.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE
These birds are not just taking food and leaving shinies. These birds are watching over this family now. Their lives have become involved. These crows are keeping track of this girl and her mother even when they are out of the yard. How do we know?
One of them is a photographer, and one day while she was photographing some stuff on a bridge, she dropped her camera’s lenscap over the edge. There was no way she could get it back, so she left it. When she got home, the lenscap was sitting on the edge of one of the feeding stations, waiting for her.
Not only were the birds following and watching over her, they were smart enough to realize she dropped an Important Thing and cared enough to bring it back to her.
I could not have asked for more

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I WANT TO START FEEDING CROWS!
In Nevada, there’s a real-life replica of
The Simpsons’ house. Complete with an
arched doorway and fake chimney, it
was built for a promotional giveaway
and was painted the same bright colors
as the cartoon house. When the winner
decided to take $75k in cash instead,
the house was redone in beige stucco
so someone else would buy it. SourceSource 2
People with anxiety can be good
to have around in an emergency.
Because anxious people are often
waiting for something to go wrong,
they’re also more vigilant about
monitoring their surroundings.
This makes them faster at
detecting and reacting to threats,
and they’re much more likely to
warn others without delay. Source
