A neighbor had a sister who rescued turtles from construction sites. The sister needed a site to release a large female turtle and she called and asked us if we could accommodate this turtle.
We have some wonderful turtle habitat and said of course, bring her on over. The sister Becky also wanted to meet Black Jack. I told her Jack sometimes made himself invisible to some people but to please bring the turtle over and we would see about Jack.
So Becky brings the turtle over and we are making her comfortable in one of the available borrows and here comes Jack. He took right to Becky. Becky was wearing a brightly colored cloth hair band and Jack tried to steal it by landing on her head and trying to jerk it right out of her hair.
Becky removed the band from her hair and was going to offer it to Jack. I told her if she wanted to keep it then she better hide it. So she puts it in her shirt pocket. Well, Jack was bound and determined to acquire that hair band. So he nonchalantly flies by and grabs it right out of her pocket and keeps right on flying. Now I’m embarrassed and ticked, darn thieving crow.
Becky is laughing and I’m fussing at the crow. Gosh, it was so funny. I tried trading a variety of sticks, rocks and even food, but Jack wanted to keep that hair band. No trading that day. I never saw that hair band after that day. He had a hidey hole somewhere I never found. Oh geez, life with a crow.
