I have been feeding a group of crows near my house and we’re just getting to the point where they wait for me now in a morning and come very close. My sister has decided she wants in on it but I’ve told her to go and find her own murder as I’ve put in all the hard work with these ones. I told her there is a murder across the way on the field she could do and feed.

this morning I was coming home from shop and there she was feeding Russel from my murder. I shouted at her and she shouted that they’re not my fucking crows, at the point a woman walking a dog walked past and tutted so sister shouted that they’re not my crows and I was shouting at her. The woman just carried on walking but this was right near my house!!

AIBU to think she should just go and feed the others???

Ahhh it's you the sister with the holiday bathroom post. You guys need to stay away from each other 😂.

If you're not fighting over which toilet to use you're for being over loyalty of the crows 😂

I didn't realise this was the same person with the holiday bathroom/toilet ridiculousness!
I remember the bike in the sister's hall/keyboard in OP's house...

sister rang me earlier saying white chest isn’t on the lamp post where he normally is. She’s been out a few times to look for him even though it’s pissing it down. I feed them at 7am so white chest knows to meet me there at that time. She’s got no chance of getting Russel out without White chest 🙄 god knows what the neighbours must think of her hanging around that lamppost all evening. I’ve told her to go home and leave them alone.

I guess I was today years old when I learned that a pack of crows was called a murder of crows 😂

It's a nice thread (for a wonder).

Of course somebody had to spoil it!

But do you make time to fight over them?

No but im an only child!

We have a leucistic crow we see on one of our walks . It’s a beauty.

My husband is currently in the dog well cat house for suggesting an indoor cat that lives in an apartment near us and looks out of the window , and whom I didn’t see for about a week, was obviously dead.

I saw the cat this morning thank goodness, they’d obviously just changed their shift pattern.

In my murder mystery I have 2 sisters living in a chocolate box village. One lives in a cottage with a hall too small to accommodate a bike. But she has a garden shed. What is in the garden shed?? She has a keyboard in the cottage. She keeps playing that nursery rhyme about the maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes ,when down came a black bird and...... There will also be a bakery in the village which specialises in unique birthday cakes. The bakery may have a grudge.
We must have a rustic farmer, who shoots vermin crows.
Let's throw in a few magpies and rooks.
A suspicious looking bicycle repairs shop proprietor.
I haven't decided on the age of the characters. The 6 year old child may now have grown up and still be harbouring a grudge about the birthday cake. The sisters may be elderly. Or I may keep them younger.
Of course, we mustn't forget the long suffering husbands.
There may be a long standing feud between the crow appreciation society and the rustic farmer.
Plus, random characters who talk to sheep and squirrels.

And what is in the garden shed?
I haven't decided on the victim or the murderer.

Start giving Russel (with one ‘I’) steak. He won’t be going back to your sister after that.

Russel with one L is giving me a Garry with two Rs vibe🤣👏

You might have to bail her out if neighbours ask her what she's doing and she says she's waiting for the murder.

Well this is really turning into a murder mystery now… the neighbours must think your sister is raven mad. Please keep us updated on Russel and white chest OP but do try to get some sleep in the meantime.

I see what you did....raven mad!😋

You need some distance from each other.
