Rescued Crow Used to Steal Baby’s Pacifier, Now Eagerly Waits for him Every day after School
Go find a screwdriver and get ready to screw your jaw back on, because a Danish family has made a video compilation of how a wild Eurasian crow has become part of their flock.
The crow will come and visit all of them, including the dog and the cats, but it’s for the little boy Otto whom Russell reserves the vast majority of his love, and their friendship is like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
Russell is no caged corvid. He disappears from the family’s property in Denmark often.
However, whether it’s pecking at the door, flying through the window onto the couch, or waiting for Otto on top of the house when he gets home from Kindergarten, the bird is never far away.
Rescued as a juvenile, Otto’s mom and dad were not able to find anyone in the area to rehabilitate him, and while nursing him back to health, and then on to the days of his fledging, the crow grew to trust the family.
He’s been with the family awhile now, and has been part of welcoming the couple’s second child, Hedwig, into the world, though too often he tries to steal the baby’s pacifier.
