Lol! This for a crow I named Wordy Bird, he had a perfect meow, this the scenario I imagined. I was teaching him to say hello. ;) xomo

I cannot tell you why, as I totally do not understand this reaction, but I was laughing hysterically for a minute after viewing this. Perhaps it was the thought of an Oriental trying to read the last line, what with the proliferation of r's and l's. I don't know. At any rate, thanks for the smiles! :) gw

Heh, you just reminded me of watching a young cat stuck on the top of a pole, with a crow obviously amused squawking at it ;) Thank you Tom! xomo

Thank you Ann! Based on a crow I would meet on my dog walks, rehearsing his perfect meow, I started trying to teach him hello, he said it once! I think I saw him the next year, passing too close to a pair of crows not to be familiar to them. xomo
