The crow the bus shelter and I
Hello Hello to all Hivians, Hivers and indeed any bird lovers that are reading this.
Some of my favourite posts to write on Hive are the feathered friends posts, especially as the rewards go to buying their food in the park.
Birds and especially corvids can be so fluffing smart not to mention funny!
And this one was both and I just knew this would make for a perfect story for the community, although no one picture stands out, let's see what I choose as I narrate the feathered tail!
This happened on Tuesday when I had to do some errands all over town, you can read about it in my Sunny stroll during errands should you so desire!
I headed to the bus stop and noticed that I was in a race!
Yes a crow had the same idea, and it was a race as to who would get there first!
I was at a disadvantage
Yes dozey me was standing taking photos of the crow lol!
So I started to zoom, it was okay as according to the bus app it was still a good 2 minutes away.
Beaten by a crow!
At this point I had lost the race. The crow was in the shelter..
I have to admit I was chucking to myself. What the fluff was the crow doing?
Do you see it? There is an empty fast food wrapper ...
He came up empty!
Nothing there so he was about to cross the road in search of this next possible meal!
Another bus stop across the road, I am sure another possible target!
Safely crossing the road!
He was making a beeline or should that be a crowline for the car..
Car tyre pecker?
Nope, he gave it a miss and headed towards the pavement!
Safely across to find another human to race!
This post though, is an entry for this week's Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 258 hosted by the wonderful @nelinoeva in the fantasticly fun Feathered Friends community on Hive
And I shall pick this one for the entry
That was a very tricky choice to make and a process of elimination. None of them really stood out, as it was more the story that made the impression on me lol!
This one won it because I like his left leg in motion and the fact he is tilting his head and you get the impression he is thinking should I or shouldn't I peck that tyre!
What do you think? Was that your favourite?
All images were taken but the author on February 17th on Links St, Kirkcaldy with his Google 9 XL Pro Smartphone camera and ramblings are also from me the author and mad Scotsman TengoLoTodo unless otherwise stated..
DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN
Haste Ye Back!

Poor crow came up empty at both bus stops, after all that energy expended to beat you there! They really are funny birds that have learned to live off of human scraps, many probably have forgotten how to live without humans around for the free food. Great pictures, none stand out to me either, but how funny!
!DUO
You just got DUO from @thebighigg.
They have 1/1 DUO calls left.
Learn all about DUO here.
Hehe yeah it was the whole story that got me. And sunshine and a blue sky ... did you see that hehe! Seriously though some parts in the south of England had rain every day this year, that is fluffing mental.
Crows are awesome though and sure will see what waste the humans have not used up!
Those fellas are quite bold aren't they?
They are, bold and smart. Made for a fun wee minute though.
No fear of being smashed by the car tyres, that's a bold crow there. 😂
!BBH
Yeah bold and smart luchyl!
I think this guy targeted you, as he know that you put birds feed frequently at the park, so he might take his chance to follow you, so maybe next time you will spare some food for him. whhat a smart guy. !LOLZ !PIMP
Hehe you could be right Eka, they seem to know me lol!

Hehehe. Did it check if there's car coming before crossing?😛.
They are smart and check the road for cars, seagulls are not so smart 🤣
haha silly crow, he probably knows that you follow him and take pictures of him, so he does a lot of things lol. 🤣 also he's very healthy, not obviously hungry. 😅
Hehe they are experts at getting food, and humans are so wasteful there are plenty of pickings 🤣
Hahaha yeah. I thinks so too. :D
You've become a real crow paparazzi, Ed! Hahaha. If the crow had known you were chasing it, it would have confronted you. There's a saying here: “Raise crows and they'll peck your eyes out.” Hugs
Hehe crow paprazzi, oh i like that Nancy! They are very clever birds and that is an interesting saying! They do have dangerous beaks 🤣
Haha, racing with a crow. 😃
Crows can eat almost everything and fast food would be a feast, sadly there was just empty wrapper.
Thanks Neli, yeah they are smart and not fussy with their food lol!
