oh my, Poor sleepy lil one.
I just love crows and I am so very happy to see that this one is getting a chance at life ^.^

aww

Aww what a cutie!

aww, good thing you do as a wildlife rehabilitater! Keep up the nice work. We are their voice and your singing a great song for others to hear!

THANK YOU!
*minor heart attack*
I was going to internet level flame you about the legality of it ... thank you so much for putting in that end part you dont know how many times I have had to rescue young birds form kids wanting to have a pet.

@@ I know. It breaks my heart every time I see a picture of someone with a crow they picked up, thinking they've 'rescued' it and that it'll make a neat pet. 99% are babies that had been kidnapped, and now are doomed, not to be too melodramatic.

I have a falcon that follows me around on watch and drops dead birds that have been disemboweled for me... It's cute but disturbing.

but technically speaking, if you save a Dying or left for dead bird and you do raise it, and obviously disregard law, wouldn't that be a Good thing? I'm not talking about later releasing it into the wild, I mean imprint it and keep it as a domestic bird? I understand the law is against that, but is that not good?

I always advocate taking an injured or dying bird to your local wildlife rehabilitation center. They have the training and tools to fix the bird and properly release it back into its habitat where applicable. They are also legally allowed to help these animals.
But most of the time what people pick up aren't dying birds, but what are called fledgelings. These are babies that have just left the nest, and they cannot yet fly. For crows, they stay on the ground for about a week, having their parents and last year's siblings feed and take care of them while they learn to fly.
Most people don't have the space or time for an imprinted bird. Crows in captivity can live between 30-60 years, and you cannot just stuff them in a cage while you're away working all day. They need lots of things to do and company, or they become psychotic, or in some cases suicidal. And if Fish and Wildlife discover you have an illegally kept bird, your bird will be confiscated, and euthanized, and you will be fined quite heavily. Keeping a migratory bird is a Federal offense in many places, including the USA.

I called my dispatch. Dispatch called the lake county water front bregade. And they took the bird and gave the falcon a nasty look. The falcon did the happy bird dance.

Animal laws are fucked up, though logical, I think rather than straight up outlawing ownership of animals, they should offer a care course for each specific species or breed, of course you would have to pay. but I think its just stupid to say "you wanna care for that animal, that's sweet, but if you do that, well come to your house fine you and fucking kill it. unless of course you breed them for furs(in the case of exotics like foxes)" I know keeping the animals is work, but if you do care about them and for them, you should be given atleast a chance? I'm considering leaving the "wonderland" of Canada for that exact reason, I want a fox, they are illegal unless you are a fur trader or a wildlife professional, though I understand why there are laws. if you can successfully domesticate and care for animal to the extent of it being happy. you should atleast have a chance of ownership? there was a colony I live by that recently saved and raised a deer. every one in the colony loved it and it was a happy deer, then Canadian wildlife authorities came into the colony, in front of the kids and mothers, and shot it in the street. I know this is biased from a civilian view, but don't you atleast half agree with what I'm saying?

Aw poor little guy!! He's so cute!!

I hope he recoops well and stays happy and healthy. Glad he's in the care of someone with experience and adoration. <3
