EDDIE B 3,120 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Strangest I've seen was a hooded crow with a gray head and wings, and a black body. Really stood out being almost th e opposite of the norm. No gun or I would a bagged him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a Rook a few years ago with white wings. It had been thrown out of the nest and it's top mandible was damaged. I had it in the kitchen and was feeding it canned dog food. It got to know the sound of my van and knew I was coming and would start screaming which would start all the dogs howling so I put it down. I was telling a fancier a while later and he told me I probably would have got a pretty penny for it. I'd fed a valuable bird to my ferret Quote Link to post Share on other sites
