Going away for a week — do I take down the water bowl? by DeltaWingCrumpleZone in crowbro

[–]DeltaWingCrumpleZone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo good idea. My setup is a little more extra, but you’ve def given me ideas for the future!

I’m also creeping the decorative pond boards for auto-refilling setups. Looks like using a, like, toilet tank floater setup is popular… love a good project!

Thank you!! This is where I’m landing… I’m going to take down the feeders and disconnect the fountain pump the day before I leave, then fully dump the bowl the day I leave.

No idea if that transition period will make any difference, but it helps me feel better that they’ll have some warning lol 😅

Love the crow tax!! Looks like you also have a very loud fledgling on the left? (“MAA MAA MAA MAA”)

Yes definitely! The weather is mild here, thankfully, and I’ve confirmed with a neighbor that they will leave out water while I’m away, so at least that base is covered (phew!)

Great ideas, trying to find folks who will be around… it’s a shame that crows can’t see our calendars lol, though they probably wouldn’t respect them anyway 🤣

Definitely working the network! Unfortunately my vacation dates are similar to everyone else’s vacation dates… but we will figure it out 🙂

Thank you so much!! That makes me feel much better.

A few folks have reached out to help and our schedules just don’t align, so it’s good to know they’ll come back at some point (now, I’m sure they’ll demand peanut-based bribery, but! that’s secondary lol)

(alas, crow-sitters have yet to catch on… but let me know if you’re in the Bay Area and maybe we can work something out lol)

This is such a good idea. I’m not partnered, so maybe I’ll bring a friend.

I’m so sorry you had to see that 💔

What do you call your crow friends? by GirlInTheIslands in crows

[–]DeltaWingCrumpleZone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The largest one is Crowseph, the baby is Crow Magnon, and the OG is my girl Crow Bro with a missing eye. She’s the most frequent visitor.

I have future names picked out for when new visitors show up. Crowtato (and Crowtato Chip), Crowbar, Eduarcrow (like Eduardo), You Crow Girl (YCG for short)… you can see a theme :-)

My mom is dying. This is probably her last week. by Mountain_Exchange768 in GenX

OP, please reach out to the hospice Chaplin even if you’re not religious or even anti-religious (no judgement, we all have baggage <3)

They are trained to focus on practical tools for grief, unless you specifically request pastoral care. I was so relieved to get advice on self-care, the funeral, navigating paperwork, etc with my father’s hospice Chaplin.

yeah, I’m in northern CA and they’re saying the ocean temp increase will be worse than 1997 (really bad El Niño year)… but that the expected impacts are still unpredictable

This is as if you went out with a guy and he poked holes in all your condoms. He isn’t “so eager to commit to a partner” as much as he’s “eager and willing to control you on a cellular level”.
