More stories about Benoit, the young Crow, here. Read about Baba and his first big flight with the Sea Eagle, follow the children of the Crows as they grow, and learn about their world. Their father is a courageous bird and the mother very watchful. Baba is the eldest, and the most relaxed. Benoit is very bright, and Lucy is the baby, and possibly the favoured child. Together, this little family of Crows lives in Upper Burringbar, in the Mt Warning Caldera Region of NE NSW, Australia.

Bluecray Journey for Wisdom in the Land blog – CROW search results : should show most of my CROW stories – about Baba, Benoit and Lucy – the children of the Crows - they grew up next door to me, and became my friends, particularly Benoit. They have now all grown and left the nursery area, and only occassionally fly overhead and call out hello to me. I hear them calling out to their parents from the valley below. Their parents still live here, as they are a breeding pair. The parents do not let the children land here anymore, although I am sure that they would like to.

Most of the Crow photos that I have on this site here, on the Balance of Faeries and Wisdom in the Land blogs are of this family of crows. Benoit, in particular, has been photographed.

Hello Benjamin

These photos are for you. I took these photos in my yard at Burringbar, New South Wales, Australia, where I live.

The baby crows in the photos are my friends. The three baby crows live in the trees beside my house, with their mother and father. Baba O’Riley is the eldest child. Benoit Mandelbrot is the middle child, and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is the youngest.

Baba is a very brave young crow. He has already chased a big sea eagle, high into the clouds above my home. Benoit is the brightest of the crow children. Lucy is just young and cute. The crows like to eat grasshoppers, rats, snakes, mandarins, avocado, peanuts, orange, barley seed, corn, snake and bird eggs and earthworms. They like to chase kookaburras, eagles, hawks, owls, cats and goannas. The baby crows really love flying about with their mother and father.

I hope you like the photos! love al.
