Sir Fred

March 19, 2009

An uninvited guest and a rather cheeky fellow as well! He comes in every afternoon - gracefully avoiding the fencing - nicks some food. Even an egg if he gets half a chance! Who he is, you might wonder? It’s a very, very, very persistent hooded crow. He visits the chicken coop at about 4pm and checks out whether there’s something to nick. We named him “Sir Fred”…

    Sir Fred! - Very apt name in current “climate”
    Then again - perhaps you are fortunate in some ways - if your crow was more like The Sir Fred he would prob have arranged by now that you drop half a doz eggs per week down to his manor!!!
