The CROW EXPERIMENT worked! I SPOKE CROW and the CROW LISTENED. There& #39;s a highly sensitive, easily agitated crow on our street this spring. I& #39;ve been watching it since April. Yesterday it shrieked & flapped at me. When I paused to scold back, it flew at my head. So I resolved...
if this crow threatens me again, I will turn around & calmly speak in crow. 10 years ago in Nova Scotia I listened to crows converse in words & sentences. I haven& #39;t forgotten the guttural click-clack sounds of their words. So...
When the crow screamed today, pumping its chest & wings, I stopped walking. I turned to look at it. Then I clicked & clacked a string of sounds. And then another. The crow calmed down immediately...
Probably all I said in crow language was, "feed the pumpkin in your grab bag" or something equally nonsensical. But clearly this crow gave me full marks for effort.
