I love what you have done with this story. As a lucky one who got to read earlier drafts, I was intrigued to re-read it. I LOVE how you have woven it with the other stories. It works so well and makes for some important questions. Thank you for sharing it!

Yeah, I reckon my cat would have a go at taking down a crow! 😳

Also, I love this:

I like crows. They are funny. I'm sorry they didn't like your poncho.

Thank you Cathy 🐦‍⬛

What is interesting is the conversations that have followed and how it has been realised that only specifically Vancouver crows do not like me.

I am happy to report I am having lovely chats with all the crows in Australia after years of Vancouver stalkings 🐦‍⬛

Well I for one am very glad this wasn’t kept on your Google drive. Thank you. And crows 🐦‍⬛… any bird can be a bit … flighty?

That would have been such a strange thing, though! I would have been baffled as to why they were there but glad you found the reason 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛
