Gorgeous.
Excellent crow. I kind of get a kick out of them, very smart, just need to work on their raspy bird calls.
Thank you. They are very smart; tool-using beasts! And it’s their month.
Like opal is the birthstone? I didn’t know birds had months. Or Sheryl is artist-of-the-month?
Lit in the road, no offence sounds like he has a bulb up his bum and a switch somewhere. Maybe by a lit by the road.
I assumed it was “lit” in the sense of “”landed on” aka “alit” or “alighted”etc. The lightbulb idea sounds a bit uncomfortable 🙂
Yes, assumption correct. Not actually a light bulb, nor in the sense that the bird was inebriated!
🙂 I’d forgotten about that meaning. Birds do get drunk sometimes, on fermented berries.
Lol forgive my quirky S.O.H
Haha, no worries
