Here is Benoit sitting nicely on my arm. I have been teaching him to land on my arm, and today, when he landed, he seemed rather at ease, and had a little talk with me. All the baby crows - Benoit, Lucy and Baba are doing really well, as are the parents, Benoit has grown into the biggest, the fattest, the greediest, and Lucy is still the one that everyone loves. Baba is the most distant - and actually looks the smallest at the moment, but I guess that could change.
Benoit loves to eat - I took a small mouse that I had caught, outside onto the roadway, for the Crows to catch. As I let it go, the Father Crow swooped quickly after it, just missing, as it dashed into the thick grass. The Father Crow, Benoit and Lucy spent about five minutes looking in the grass for the mouse, but they never found it.
I gave them some mandarine and a some meat offcuts then, and they were very happy about that. Benoit is now showing alot more expression, in his eyes, at me, and I wish that I knew what he was saying, sometimes, when he comes to visit.
