A crow flew up to me

[RatDogPack]

I was walking up to Stonehenge last week when a crow flew right to me. It sat on a post and looked me in the eyes. I take this as a very good omen

AT STONEHENGE NO LESS. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

I really like this shot.

Oh my gosh I’m so excited for your quest!! Let us know how it goes!

I carried a rook (that’s what this cutie is) around on my arm for over 30 mins at Old Sarum – just up the road from SH. They’re incredibly tame and inquisitive.

So many people asked if I’d brought him with me… how I wish I had. And that I could take him back home with me!

Lucky you! That’s actually a rook, not a crow. You can tell by the pale face where they have no feathers.

You must now take the “crow witch” flair. Sorry, I don’t make the rules

Did you talk to him?

[paranormal_junkie73]

That’s truly amazing!

I had a crow startle me and then flew off “laughing”.
I can’t remember exactly what I said but it was along the lines of…”yeah yeah you got me”.

I love Stonehenge we used to go there all the time when I was a kid that’s when you could go in and touch the stones. My birthday is the 21 June so I feel it has special significance to me. It’s a rook btw.

That’s a dream come true! Congrats!

Hello, cro

[PolarTheBear]

Beautiful. The title reminds me of the album “A Crow Looked at Me” which is also beautiful but also sad.

You are the chosen one. Go, be consumed by the mass of crows which now follows you everywhere.

Casual Stonehenge. Your day is far more interesting than mine.

The rooks at Stonehenge are very tame, even for rooks. Some of the English Heritage workers feed them. I spent some time chatting to one of the workers while she had a few rooks sitting on her arms (mainly me telling her she had the best job in the world). I do have a photo of her but I’m not posting it.

However, here’s me feeding one of the rooks at Stonehenge. He did eventually hop onto my arm but flew off when I tried to get a photo.

That was back in July 2020 right after a lockdown got lifted so there were hardly any people there compared to normal. I don’t know they act during the normal crowds. I was there again this past December for Yule, did see a few rooks but they weren’t coming anywhere near the crowds.
