This Crow Poem reminds us about our personal responsibility to the beautiful life on this planet, and how we need to reign in our wasteful lifestyles and clean up our waste that we have already left all over the planet.

I have known Benoit for over nine months now. He is a wild Crow, and his parents and siblings are also all wild. He chose come to visit me, when he first flew from his nest, in the Crow’s Ash Tree beside my home. Gradually, over time, he and I have become “friends” and he will now fly onto my arm, and talk with me. He also likes to sit on my head and yell very loudly!!! He is extremely bright, and his parents have their work cut out for them, in raising him, with his two other siblings, Baba (the elder, very brave crow) and Lucy (the youngest, who everyone loves.!)
