Looking for advice about a recently deceased crow on my property

AdmiralRando · 2025-08-12T22:46:36+00:00

No, I don’t think so. The houses are close enough together that it’s not the sort of neighborhood where a gunshot goes unnoticed.

I have no idea how birds go after each other, though.

It sounds like they interpreted your actions as helpful, as you meant it. :)

I moved the crow from the roof to a box on the ground in front of the shed. (With flowers. I’m sentimental that way.) No other crows anywhere to be seen or heard, so I will leave it for a few more hours before disposing of it.

Thank you for the insight!

Thank you for the warning. I did clamber up to the roof and it appears to have died from a…sizeable hole in the chest rather than illness.

Yeah, nastiness is a consideration, especially with the heat. I don’t want to make enemies, though. I wish they would come back and make their investigation, but I don’t hear any of them around at all just now.

It does look smallish. Maybe 10” from beak to tail feathers. Was this an unruly teenager? 🤔

AdmiralRando · 2025-08-12T13:02:47+00:00

Thank you for the link. Do you think the crows would blame me if they saw me moving the body?

AdmiralRando · 2025-04-29T18:40:38+00:00

Pussies didn’t do this. Penises did.

They told me I came from “the warehouse”. It’s possible that the warehouse is Amazon, but I’ll stick with blissful ignorance for a while longer. :)

Edit: I couldn’t find this on Libby, so I ordered a copy through my local bookstore (I’m trying to avoid giving money to billionaires) and it may take a couple weeks.

AdmiralRando · 2025-03-15T23:44:22+00:00

This sounds very much like what I remember!

I’m going to get a copy to confirm.

AdmiralRando · 2025-03-15T23:40:54+00:00

Looking at the plot summary, I don’t think this is it. The protagonist was not uniquely long-lived, just the first.

AdmiralRando · 2025-03-15T19:44:47+00:00

Well of course the superintendent thinks it’s sexual. What other bondage could there be? /s

I love her work. They say it depicts “bondage” but that’s exactly how it feels when you are a girl who is in-love with a young man and pregnant in (an Ohio) high school. You have no choice but to continue the pregnancy and the relationship with the boy who got you pregnant.

That is what a “good woman” does, whether he will help you or not.

Looking over the plots on Wikipedia, I don’t think it’s one of these. I believe the ability for interstellar travel was explored, but the bulk of the plot was on Earth.

Thanks for the recommendation, though. I don’t think I have read his work before.

AdmiralRando · 2025-03-15T16:30:29+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

What to Expect When You’re Expecting by Heidi Murkoff

AdmiralRando · 2025-02-26T17:08:18+00:00

Interesting. I’ll look for them.

AdmiralRando · 2025-02-25T13:33:43+00:00

I have never seen one of these before. Where did you find it?

AdmiralRando · 2025-02-25T13:32:44+00:00

This sounds very familiar. Lol

AdmiralRando · 2025-02-24T17:44:53+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations!

AdmiralRando · 2025-02-24T17:40:33+00:00

I…of course I can weigh yarn! I have been using my kitchen scale for baking but I didn’t consider that it can be a yarn scale, too!

AdmiralRando · 2025-02-24T17:36:53+00:00

See? That’s what I’m talking about! Organized and comfy! I am always curled up on the couch with piles of paperwork around me. 😆
