The cawing of the crow Waking me up from sleep Perched on the branch Outside my window sill It's jet black, dark, shiny skin Mysterious and magical Attracts me towards it I look at it fascinated Clever and intelligent An easily adaptable bird A messenger to our ancestors The rice balls are offered first Before we can consume them Every day they arrive spot on Cawing for their share of rice balls Able to solve intelligence tests They're one of the smartest birds Having an uncanny memory For the human face Abstract reasoning Complex problem solving Group decision making Are few of their forte Known for their unity Never do they eat alone Calling out to the rest To share their bounty I for one adore your species #yqbaba#crows
