Stone the crows!



Two crows = good luck. 
Three crows = good health.
Four crows = wealth. It goes downhill from there, five crows = illness and six crows = death.. not called a murder of crows for nothing 😉

 There's a point to all that :) Funny story! I have two crows that wake me in the morning with their cawing, they drive me mad for many reasons, two of which are that they muddy up the birdbath with stale bread and chase the smaller birds off. Feeling a little better yesterday I dragged myself out of bed to have lunch by the sea with P. Seriously, can you believe we were joined by a pair of raucous crows screeching at us to get a move on. I said to P jokingly wonder if they are our crows. Driving home he said 'can you hear the flapping above, they're trying to get home before us' :) I'm not particularly fond of crows, those beady eyes are a bit creepy and I will be watching in-case they bring friends along, FOUR altogether and no more 😃 Happy Friday, take care and stay safe. . Btw thank you so much for the get well wishes yesterday.. P.p.s. don't worry there will be NO stoning of the crows :)

  3. Crows remind me a lot of the grackles we have such an abundance of here. I'm with you, four crows is the max. Glad you are feeling better.

  8. I love the top shot. I am not real keen on crows, they are too big and mournful to appeal to me.

  9. Those crows are very smart and they know what they are doing. They will follow and haunt you until you figure out what they want. :)

  10. Good to hear you are a wee bit better. I wonder why no one has mentioned the Hitchcock movie, The Birds. They are out to get you.

  11. I rather like crows. They are very smart birds and can identify individual people.

  12. I'm willing to take them home, Grace :-)
    I can send you some boring ones from Germany instead, they hardly ever say a thing.

  13. We have crows. Lots of them. A neighbor loves and feeds them.
    I've read that 8 crows are supposed to be good luck. And I've been told they're exceptionally smart, which is probably why they can be so annoying.

  14. Didn't realise you haven't been well. So I hope you will be 100% soon. Crows are not my favourite either. Great shots.

  15. I don't like crows, they are very noicy indeed and very unpleasant to other birds!

  16. They mean different things in different cultures. They can be aggressive. Once my mom had a white pigeon that followed us to town. I'd go to town and see it on the town square. It would come to our house at night.

  19. What a great crow story, love the crow love-birds, not so sure about the eyes on the crow checking out the table food, but fun to read! Some mornings out here after I've mowed, we'll wake up to a yard full of them, happily eating!
