saw my oldest crow pal today, broken jaw crow
i am still amused that despite being face blind, i have a pretty easy time identifying crows
as i've gotten popular with the flock, it's getting harder to spot them amongst the rest
this crow always came a little closer than the others, but that isn't as true as it used to be

i have a lot of pics of this wonky jawed crow
i didn't realise it, but turns out this was one of the first crows i met/took pictures of, back in june last year
i found a photo i took of them in october, too
by november, i'd learned to recognize them https://twitter.com/tef_ebooks/status/1193572379080974339
i even got a video of them ignoring peanuts https://twitter.com/tef_ebooks/status/1194375004420558850
by january, they'd gotten close enough for me to see why they wouldn't eat peanuts: the lower part of their beak is split https://twitter.com/tef_ebooks/status/1219680925811908608
fast forward a few months, they'll happily eat by my feet
unfortunately for them, so will a few other crows
so they stuff their little broken jaw with as much suet as they can carry, and fly off to eat in private

i'm not holding my breath, but of all the crows, this one might be brave enough to eat out of my hand, one day
either way, when i'm out feeding the flock, i keep a little bit of suet to one side, just in case they come to say hi

(i honestly do get a bit worried if i haven't seen them out for a few days)
