Zelenskyy is a hell of an athlete. He's discovered that dignity is overrated, so dance like nobody's watching and people won't laugh at you, they'll laugh with you.
ReplyDeleteThe Crow army reminded me of years ago a guy at work and his wife found a baby crow on the ground and adopted it. While it was small they kept it locked in the garage so it could fly a little but would be safe. If they left it alone for a few hours it would get bored or lonesome and start calling. The guy recorded the calling on a cassette and sometimes play it loud in his car with the doors open out in the parking lot. Within a few minutes a Crow would appear, then another and a couple more, as many as a dozen. They just appeared out of nowhere, came from different directions, two would come from across the river in NJ. Every damn time. They didn't approach the car or congregate, but perched in the trees around the edge.
Of course we all know by now to wait a bit before picking up a baby bird off the ground. They do tend to hit the ground a few times before acing the flying thing & odds are very good the parents are close by, letting their baby learn. Crows are amazing. Well worth watching and studying, as they apparently watch & study humans.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not picking up any baby critters, try to avoid the human ones too.
