Crossing A Busy Road

Guess what I saw crossing a busy road before? A CROW!
Guess next HOW it did it?
By looking left, right, left, right constantly until it crossed to the other side safely.
Isn't that fascinating? I spent a long time watching that silly bird, crossing, re-crossing, crossing again, and its technique was wonderful, just like a cautious human.
I tried to figure out if that was a he or a she. I was tempted to think that that was a silly male bird. (Females are often more cautious and this crow is definitely not a blond. It was black from head to tail! )
Do you often see funny sights like that crazy crow crossing a busy road just to peck at something on the other side? If you were driving a car and saw that silly jaywalker, what would you do? (run it over to teach it a lesson? )

Crows are smarter than many birds. I took this picture a few months ago. A crow was enjoying a rat's burger, while another one was staying at a turn not far and was warning the other one when a car was coming. Crows are as organized than humans or apes, and they can do very good pets.

Dang squirrels are in abundance trying to get that last nut to their nest for winter. They dance across the highway, go a few steps forward a take several back before trying it all over again.

@ElusiveButterfly just to show you, if one eats too many nuts, one acts nutty that way!

smart cat! Some dogs and cats on my street were not that smart, they got run over. Their owners told me and they said afterward, they never had another one ever again. They felt too heartbroken.

We don't give animals enough intellectual credit. It makes me want to become vegetarian, but only briefly. Don't crows use stones to break things ... they're exceedingly clever little things.

If we could record them all, and show them on youtube, wow, think of the money we could make there! (Do you know that some youtubers are making millions of US dollars per month?)
It would be tiring though, fighting with the tax people over that sort of income. Let me go back to watching those funny crows on my road .

God gives those crows only two legs, and they hop hop so well crossing the road. That crow was so funny.
