He certainly understands your schedule. How sweet that he waited for you while you were with Sally Cat.
Maybe he will go with you on walks and keep you company. You have an interesting friendship happening.
I think all crows are unusual. They are very clever and they relate well to humans. Does he talk to you?
He waits for me coming back most days unless the weather is really foul. He didn't do that when we had a severe storm a couple of weeks ago. I think he was 'lying low' as it was too dangerous to fly.
But I know he won't go with me for walks. He wants to stay in his perimeter, which is probably about 500 yards or so all round the house. He likes the orchard, and the back field. And there are decent sized trees about so he likes to be in the branches when he's not feeding.
Yes he talks to me. Mostly it's with a clicking sound he makes with his beak. I copy it and he replies. It's numerical. He does 4 times, I do 4 times....then he will do 2 and I answer with 2. Sometimes if I start the conversation, he copies my numbers exactly. Sometimes he likes to try and catch me out by doing 2 and a half. But I am on it!
He never goes beyond 6. It might be hard work on his beak so I wouldn't want him to do....25 or so!
Sometimes he caws and I am trying to learn to do that nicely. He showed me three different voices he has.
