Speaker 1: You know in the past we've talked about or I
Speaker 1: guess maybe it's well known that crows tend to be
Speaker 1: very smart birds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've heard that, and that almost to.
Speaker 1: The point where they can recognize individual people and remember that.
Speaker 3: Are they big on revenge?
Speaker 2: I think we learned that also. That sounds right. Remember
Speaker 2: one cornered me in the garage one time? Be okay, truth?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: No, say it true story?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Wait? Cornered you in the garage?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it remembered you, like, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe it was mad at me about something. Maybe I
Speaker 4: got too close to a ness or I don't know
Speaker 4: what it was, but I maybe.
Speaker 1: It was in a parking garage and was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is garage at our house.
Speaker 4: And it was on the outside, sitting menacingly on a
Speaker 4: trash can, just looking at me, and it was like
Speaker 4: two feet away from me. And I stood in the
Speaker 4: garage for like a half an hour till away.
Speaker 3: So is it less revenge and more like they hold grudges?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be.
Speaker 3: I think that's what we have been told.
Speaker 2: That could be.
Speaker 1: But did you know there's a whole community of people
Speaker 1: that what's the I don't I know the term that
Speaker 1: they use, but I don't know what what like the real.
Speaker 2: Term is.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, but people, but they they say, one of them,
Speaker 1: I've got a crowbro?
Speaker 2: What a crowbro?
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Like they almost train them to be like they're pet yes.
Speaker 3: To what extent?
Speaker 1: To the extent where So I was reading I was
Speaker 1: reading this story about this woman right, and she was
Speaker 1: talking about how in the summer of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: I noticed a crow who seemed to be around when
Speaker 1: I was outside, Like they'd be outside, like just whether
Speaker 1: they're working in the yard or whatever it is that
Speaker 1: they're doing. And she was like, listen, the family has
Speaker 1: bird feeders, so i'd be out there filling those up,
Speaker 1: or you know, I'd be like working in the yard,
Speaker 1: or we'd just be outside, and I noticed that there
Speaker 1: was this crow that was hanging around. So one time
Speaker 1: I tossed a few little bits of apple toward the
Speaker 1: ground below where.
Speaker 2: The crow was perched.
Speaker 1: He fluttered down to investigate, and then like sometimes there
Speaker 1: would be two crows, and sometimes the second crow would
Speaker 1: go with the first crow.
Speaker 2: To go down there. And so this would go on
Speaker 2: somewhat regularly.
Speaker 1: So this woman or would see this crow out in
Speaker 1: the like perch stuff somewhere, so she would throw, you know,
Speaker 1: like some apples over there's like some peanuts or I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell you feed a crow. But like,
Speaker 1: by the way, it's no different than Diane feeding the
Speaker 1: stupid bunnies in her backyard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean crowsily garbage.
Speaker 1: Yes, so, but she was throwing like food down by
Speaker 1: where the like the crow would perch. And again they said,
Speaker 1: every so often there'd be like a second crow or
Speaker 1: something that would also go check it out. This went
Speaker 1: on for months, not like it was a problem, but
Speaker 1: it would be like, oh, I see the crow. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know it's the same crow. I
Speaker 1: would not know it's the same crow. You would just
Speaker 1: think it's another bird. So anyway, for months she's like
Speaker 1: throwing a peanut or whatever it is. Months passed, and
Speaker 1: then one morning I heard an odd clattering at the
Speaker 1: mailbox that's a fix to the front door of our house,
Speaker 1: and I peeked outside.
Speaker 2: The crow was.
Speaker 1: Sitting on our porch, railing with an envelope that he
Speaker 1: had plucked from the open mailbox.
Speaker 2: The crow was still.
Speaker 1: There when I reappeared on the porch a couple moments
Speaker 1: later with some raw cashews, which he immediately hopped forward
Speaker 1: to eat from the stone steps.
Speaker 2: And that began our relationship in earnest.
Speaker 3: Who is this?
Speaker 2: Say again?
Speaker 3: Who is this?
Speaker 2: Who is this?
Speaker 3: Yes? I was talking about the relationship with a crow
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Gibson, and it's a she's a writer for what.
Speaker 2: The Washington Post? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, she writes for the Washington Post. Caitlyn Gibson is
Speaker 1: her name. I don't know anything about her, but this
Speaker 1: is the start of her relationship with the crow.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's got a crow, bro. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And he was holding the envelope, right, I think.
Speaker 2: The envelope was just happenstance. I don't think. I don't
Speaker 2: think the crow was like, well, there's mail in the mailbox,
Speaker 2: let me give it to Caitlin.
Speaker 1: I just think it was like he was getting at
Speaker 1: the mailbox and then she came out and threw down
Speaker 1: some cashews.
Speaker 3: Well I see her or piece now. And you skipped
Speaker 3: the part where she asked the crow, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Okay? Well that is he was jealous. The crow didn't
Speaker 2: answer her.
Speaker 3: He was jealously ripping it apart, and he didn't fly
Speaker 3: away when I asked, what are you doing in a
Speaker 3: tone that was equally astonished and delighted, Let me get
Speaker 3: my sound effect ready.
Speaker 2: In the weeks that followed, the crow quickly.
Speaker 1: Learned to perch outside our dining room window and look
Speaker 1: in whenever he wanted a snack.
Speaker 2: She named the crow Kormac. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: I don't know there's a name.
Speaker 1: I am not alone. Many have sought this same connection
Speaker 1: within the growing world of bird enthusiasts fans of corvids,
Speaker 1: which are crows, ravens, and jays. There are their own
Speaker 1: passionate and growing group of people.
Speaker 2: They want a crow. Why are you skipping the best parts? Why?
Speaker 3: After she said? In the weeks that followed, the crow
Speaker 3: quickly learned to perch outside. She writes, I was to
Speaker 3: put it mildly thrilled.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, if you want to be if you.
Speaker 1: If you want a crow, bro and it's hanging out,
Speaker 1: of course you're happy.
Speaker 3: It's like your computer didn't populate the sentences that had italics.
Speaker 2: What are you doing? I don't think she's crazy. Okay,
Speaker 2: she's a burder.
Speaker 3: Oh why do you want her to be? Our next?
Speaker 1: Dan?
Speaker 3: Morse, you want to track her down. She's more than
Speaker 3: a burder.
Speaker 2: The no, not at all.
Speaker 1: Yes, but there's a whole group of people that have
Speaker 1: have pet crows that aren't really their.
Speaker 3: Pets, and they are, to put it mildly crazy.
Speaker 1: Drilled crows and ravens frequently lurk near humans, recognizing them
Speaker 1: as a husefule, a useful source of food to scavenge.
Speaker 1: These birds have coevolved with us for a couple million years.
Speaker 2: Others approached the birds differently.
Speaker 1: In the early nineteen hundreds, it was common for people
Speaker 1: who lived in proximity of clothes to take nestling birds
Speaker 1: and raise them as.
Speaker 3: Pets that I don't recommend, but not just the pet
Speaker 3: on the perch outside the window, like an actual domesticated troll.
Speaker 2: She talks about what is the lady's name, Caitlin.
Speaker 1: Caitlin talks about there was a guy who used to
Speaker 1: like when he would go out in the morning, he
Speaker 1: would start his car and drive off, and as he
Speaker 1: would drive off, he would throw peanuts out the window
Speaker 1: for the crows. It got to the point where he
Speaker 1: would go outside and start the car. They said for
Speaker 1: crow it was like the ice cream truck coming down
Speaker 1: the street like they knew every day. Now, Caitlin, or
Speaker 1: as Tyler would like me to call her, crazy Caitlin,
Speaker 1: she is. She doesn't know how old the crow is,
Speaker 1: so she doesn't know how much longer she has with it.
Speaker 3: Did you read about her conversation with Kevin McGowan, Who's.
Speaker 1: That another crowbro and ace?
Speaker 3: Or to see a guy who studies Yes, a scientist
Speaker 3: at the Cornell Lab of Forornithology, go ahead, who has
Speaker 3: spent over thirty five years studying crows. I explained the
Speaker 3: evolution of my routine. I admitted that I was often
Speaker 3: so elated to see the bird appear in the window
Speaker 3: that I would rush to meet him in the backyard
Speaker 3: right away. Kevin chuckled, he has you well trained, and
Speaker 3: the you is italicized. It's weird, you don't have any
Speaker 3: of the best parts.
Speaker 1: No, because he's a woman who is trying to befriend
Speaker 1: the crow.
Speaker 3: I think we actually should. Because she's a colleague of Dan's.
Speaker 3: Get Dan on the phone.
Speaker 2: The girl crazy.
Speaker 3: I know what they talk about at lunch.
Speaker 2: No, here you go, who fed you say again? Of
Speaker 2: the crow? They got me trained? Hi Ellie in the morning, yeah, Hi,
Speaker 2: who's this.
Speaker 1: Hi?
Speaker 5: This is Aaron.
Speaker 2: By the way, the headline of Caitlin Crazy.
Speaker 1: Caitlyn's Thing is I befriended my neighborhood crow.
Speaker 2: You can too, So it's all about how you can
Speaker 2: do this, and he and she loves it. She thinks
Speaker 2: it's great.
Speaker 3: Oh, I can do this.
Speaker 2: I thought I was prohibited.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I lost you for a second on Randolph Road.
Speaker 6: So my cousin is exactly this way. She lived in
Speaker 6: North Bethesda in like those high rise apartments, and she
Speaker 6: has crows. She had crows that would come to her
Speaker 6: and give her pebbles and give her like trinkets back.
Speaker 6: So not if only would she like give them peanuts
Speaker 6: or something and just kind of hang out with them,
Speaker 6: but they would bring back things for her like that.
Speaker 6: So that is like definitely a thing. She has since
Speaker 6: moved to fairbax in a different apartment and has brand
Speaker 6: new crows that she developed this relationship with like that,
Speaker 6: like they know when she comes home and they bring
Speaker 6: her things and then she gives them a peanut. By
Speaker 6: the way, it's definitely a thing, it.
Speaker 1: Says Tyler will find it because it's probably italicized. But
Speaker 1: there's somewhere in the article where where crazy Caitlin says
Speaker 1: that the oh maybe it was somebody who was telling
Speaker 1: her that, like the envelope, it wasn't like getting the mail,
Speaker 1: but was very similar where it's a barter system where
Speaker 1: it's like I bring you something, you bring me something,
Speaker 1: and they just go on to talk about how smart
Speaker 1: the crows are, and so they're bringing Caitlin something and
Speaker 1: she's giving them something in return.
Speaker 7: I believe they see.
Speaker 6: It as they that's that's how smart they are, Like
Speaker 6: genuinely like those those crazy birds from really smart because
Speaker 6: they know where they're getting their food from and they
Speaker 6: know it's a steady source of food, so they will
Speaker 6: barter rather than just scavenging and being crazy and running around.
Speaker 1: Right, No, crazy Caitlin's crazy. The no, No, it's the
Speaker 1: old eye. Scratch your back, you scratch minds.
Speaker 4: They essentially possess the intelligence of a seven year old.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's smarter. Yeah, but like we look at a
Speaker 2: sep like, I know, I'm a thousand times smarter than
Speaker 2: a seven.
Speaker 4: Years but they highlight they like they it's almost like
Speaker 4: they make tools. They can bend twigs to pull food
Speaker 4: out if they can't get to it with their their beak.
Speaker 4: They they understand water displacement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of that is fine and dandy. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm focusing more on Caitlin's relationship with Cormac. And by
Speaker 3: the way, in the part of the article oh where
Speaker 3: this barter or trading is discussed, there is an emphasis
Speaker 3: placed on a word and it's hers, not mine. Not
Speaker 3: everyone is dazzled by these creative and charismatic birds. After
Speaker 3: a Seattle eight year old went viral for her vast
Speaker 3: collection of trinkets and offerings left by crows who visited
Speaker 3: her yard, her family had to settle out of court
Speaker 3: after being sued by the neighbors for damage caused by
Speaker 3: the birds. I'd be so pissed at my kid.
Speaker 2: Line five. Hi Elliet in the morning. Hi the same, Yeah, Hi,
Speaker 2: who's this?
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 8: My name is Cindy and I live in Crosston and
Speaker 8: I have about a twelve burder approach. There's like twelve
Speaker 8: and one murder that come to my patio and I
Speaker 8: feed them and they're wonderful.
Speaker 2: And we think Caitlin's crazy. This is crazy.
Speaker 1: Cindy of crafted Wait, so you feed twelve crows, and
Speaker 1: do they come every day and like hang out and
Speaker 1: watch you?
Speaker 8: They will if I feed them every day, But you
Speaker 8: don't want to do that because you don't want them
Speaker 8: getting in the habit of not hunting and gathering for themselves.
Speaker 8: But I do switch out their food, and some days
Speaker 8: I get sticks and twigs, other days, most days I
Speaker 8: get bones. They give me old chicken bones to say
Speaker 8: thank you.
Speaker 3: That's mentioned Caitlin who says, wait, hold on, go ahead,
Speaker 3: that you have to wait, hold on, ma'am, hold on, ma'am,
Speaker 3: hold on, you have to and that got you loves
Speaker 3: a slanted word. You have to accept them on their terms.
Speaker 3: Sometimes their gifts might be squirrel bones.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, Diane, there's seven. It's not like they
Speaker 1: went shopping. Thanks crow anyway.
Speaker 2: So Cindy, you how long have you been doing this?
Speaker 8: Six years when I moved into my new house six years. Yes, yes,
Speaker 8: And so I switch out their food. They don't like
Speaker 8: so micros don't like blueberries. They would throw them out
Speaker 8: and let the squirrels have them. But they like nut
Speaker 8: and they like chicken hearts.
Speaker 1: And wait a minute, so you're not just giving them
Speaker 1: stuff you're shopping for them.
Speaker 2: Yes, play that cuckoo thing.
Speaker 1: Chicken hearts the Yeah, you can get chicken hearts of course.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: They're dog trees. They're freeze dried, and they just dip
Speaker 8: them in.
Speaker 5: Water and eat them.
Speaker 2: They dip them in water. You're not doing that. That's
Speaker 2: like chewing their food and giving it to you. Guys,
Speaker 2: do some goddamn work. You're bringing me a squirrel bone. Thanks, No,
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it all right, very good,
Speaker 2: thank you. She's got a murder of twelve.
Speaker 3: We tend to focus on their traits we find appealing,
Speaker 3: like how they bring you gift, and ignore the ones
Speaker 3: we don't find some appealing, like how they sometimes mate
Speaker 3: with the dead. I know we knew about their grudge
Speaker 3: holding and their recognition of faces. Have we ever had
Speaker 3: anyone tell us that they will hump a corpse?
Speaker 1: Wait? Can I can ask a question like a like
Speaker 1: a fellow crow corpse?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Aren't they? Aren't? They very monogamous crows?
Speaker 1: Very monogamousship No no, no, no, like like they pair like
Speaker 1: like like eagles, but they pair together.
Speaker 3: I don't know the answers to that, but I do
Speaker 3: know now.
Speaker 1: So if they seem like a dead squirrel on the ground,
Speaker 1: like it's another dead crow.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe they just think she's sleeping. Hey, that one's funny.
Speaker 3: This from corvid Research dot blog. They put they put
Speaker 3: the crow in necro feel.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good sticker.
Speaker 1: That's a Hey, remind me when we run out of
Speaker 1: Elliott the Morning stickers.
Speaker 2: That's next. Oh wait link two. Hi Elliott the Morning.
Speaker 3: Hi.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Hi, I'd rather not use my name if that's okay.
Speaker 5: But I hate to work with Caitlyn.
Speaker 2: Hey is she crazy?
Speaker 5: She's actually not crazy. She's really lovely.
Speaker 1: Hey where did you did you? Did you work at
Speaker 1: the Washington Post?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 2: Were you one of the were you one of the
Speaker 2: ones that got let go?
Speaker 7: Sure?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry about that. Yeah that sucks. It's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: you're doing better. You're doing better. It's like working at iHeart.
Speaker 1: The But you knew, you knew Caitlin. But Caitlin's not
Speaker 1: like the crazy bird lady.
Speaker 3: No her.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think, like a lot of us during COVID,
Speaker 5: we've developed some sort of like bird interest.
Speaker 1: And okay, you know she's doing this, she's doing this now,
Speaker 1: and we're out of COVID.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, I think it started like the interest in
Speaker 5: general around like you know, coming back to the office
Speaker 5: and talking about water cooler. There's a lot of people
Speaker 5: that were talking about birds and the birds they saw
Speaker 5: and were the sea birds, and photographers were trying to,
Speaker 5: you know, get more bird pictures.
Speaker 2: Now they do.
Speaker 1: Caitlin points it out in her story, but of course
Speaker 1: she's going to that the bird enthusiast population has grown
Speaker 1: tremendously and she's not wrong. Like we hear those stories
Speaker 1: about a bird of sap and everybody drive, well, remember
Speaker 1: there was that kid who saw the bird in somewhere
Speaker 1: around here, like some gray something or other, and people started,
Speaker 1: no put intended, flocking by his neighborhood to go see it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think we also have bald
Speaker 5: eagles here, and you know, there was a lot of
Speaker 5: chatter not only with the eagle cams, the men. Every
Speaker 5: time sure like a reporter would see the bald eagles
Speaker 5: in like the morning meeting, was like, hey, did you
Speaker 5: see the bald eagles are back end? Where are they?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that was in the morning meeting. When that
Speaker 2: would happen, would Caitlin just kind of go.
Speaker 5: Just like you know, there's totter before like the newest
Speaker 5: meeting and you know, talking about the fun things that
Speaker 5: exist while your colleague good.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that she's not full crazy.
Speaker 5: No, I think we're all a little crazy, right am,
Speaker 5: All right, very.
Speaker 2: Good, very good, Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. I'm glad
Speaker 2: you're doing better.
Speaker 3: The oldest known fish crow or is that what Cormack is?
Speaker 3: A fish crow?
Speaker 2: Fish crow? It's a type of crow.
Speaker 1: I don't know all the different types of crows, black crows,
Speaker 1: fish crows.
Speaker 3: It says, row crow. His nasal staccato vocalization set him
Speaker 3: apart from his American comrades. Anyway, That's not the point
Speaker 3: that I was going to make. I just I didn't
Speaker 3: know what a fish crow was. No, but it's there's
Speaker 3: different kinds of trout. But she says, thank you all,
Speaker 3: thank goodness that collar hung up. Treat it like a
Speaker 3: news rem meeting. The oldest known fish crow was fourteen
Speaker 3: years old, but the average lifespan is closer to seven years.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what I'm saying. Caitlin doesn't know how long
Speaker 2: she's going to have Cormac.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it means to him when we
Speaker 3: are together in the backyard under the mulberry tree, as
Speaker 3: he hops and squawks and catches the cashews I toss him.
Speaker 2: Hey, I know washing to Post lady back, Caitlyn's crazy.
Speaker 2: I know what it means to me, though, Oh poor Caitlyn.
Speaker 3: It is rare to feel so anchored in the present
Speaker 3: moment and within the arc of an entwined evolutionary history.
Speaker 3: Our modern lives, often obscure, are enduring, tether to the
Speaker 3: natural world.
Speaker 1: She's well written, but more than that, well Hurst whatever, Okay,
Speaker 1: I write like the last Washington Post employee.
Speaker 3: But more than two million years later, crows are still here,
Speaker 3: watching us and reminding us. Perhaps that even more than
Speaker 3: the tattered piece of cardboard that my daughter mildly tucked
Speaker 3: in or keepsake box just hit the cuckoo. Sounds a
Speaker 3: true gift.
Speaker 2: Where am I going? Kristen Line four? Hi Ellie at
Speaker 2: the morning? Hey, good morning, Yes sir, what can I
Speaker 2: do for you?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 7: I just thought I would mention Jake from the Shawshank Redemption.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, stand pet crow?
Speaker 5: Remember so?
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was the pet crow raised by.
Speaker 2: Broke right now, who's crazy? Exactly? Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Speaker 3: So you had asked us to reach out to Dan
Speaker 3: Morris a week or so ago. Do you want to
Speaker 3: talk to Caitlin?
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 1: More importantly, I don't know if Caitlin wants to talk
Speaker 1: to us. Hi, Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 5: Hi, this is me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 7: What's up?
Speaker 3: Buddy? Hey?
Speaker 7: So I just figured i'd call in. I got a
Speaker 7: crow story for you. I hired crows as bodyguard for
Speaker 7: my chickens.
Speaker 2: Essentially, I'm sorry you hired that.
Speaker 7: You're I'm well, well, my wife is. I'm just in
Speaker 7: charge of placing the trinkets out there for them. They
Speaker 7: do like barter systems, so you place like they like
Speaker 7: shiny objects, right, And we had a hawk problem. They
Speaker 7: kept killing our chickens. So we essentially got them to
Speaker 7: the point where they just hang around and they attacked
Speaker 7: the hawks.
Speaker 1: So by placing the stuff, the shiny stuff, the crows
Speaker 1: hang out, and then the crows they'll bring.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they bring us other shiny stuff back. And like
Speaker 7: I just I built like a little platform next to
Speaker 7: my fence and just put a bunch of like washers
Speaker 7: and nuts and bolts and stuff on it. They take
Speaker 7: them and then they bring other random stuff back. But
Speaker 7: it keeps them around long enough where they attack the
Speaker 7: hawks now, so I don't have a hawk problem anywhore.
Speaker 2: Very smart?
Speaker 1: You think they're so smart? I have an idea, why
Speaker 1: don't you have sex with something? Why that they get?
Speaker 1: That's where they're dumb. They don't know it's a corpse.
Speaker 1: But other than that, they're very smart, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 3: So how long you said months for Caitlin? How long
Speaker 3: did he say the caller that it took.
Speaker 2: Oh, he didn't.
Speaker 1: He just said that they were putting them out there.
Speaker 1: But that seemed pretty quick to Well, maybe Caitlin was
Speaker 1: playing a little hard to.
Speaker 3: Get because this dem reads I feed my crows every day.
Speaker 3: I wake up and make eggs. What or they get
Speaker 3: rotisserie chicken? They do love walnuts, but my crows are
Speaker 3: big babies and still scared. I've been doing this for
Speaker 3: over a year. I can't wait for the day that
Speaker 3: we actually become friends.
Speaker 4: Sound a little needy.
Speaker 1: Hashtag forever alone now.
Speaker 3: Actually, she writes hashtag breakfast bitch.
Speaker 2: So wait for a year.
Speaker 1: Over over a years, she's been making crows eggs for
Speaker 1: breakfast and rotisserie chicken, and she can't.
Speaker 3: She can't strike up that relationship. She thinks that it's
Speaker 3: because sometimes try different food. Sometimes she'll put out something
Speaker 3: new and they're scared of it, which takes them a
Speaker 3: few days to come back to check out the right.
Speaker 3: So she's maybe sort of shut herself in the foot
Speaker 3: a few times by.
Speaker 2: The way, you know what she you know who? She
Speaker 2: can be help by Caitlin.
Speaker 1: If I got Caitlin on, we could we could ask
Speaker 1: the ask the crow bro.
Speaker 10: She could host the whole segment. She's like a crow
Speaker 10: dating curs. It's like when they have the gardener on
Speaker 10: the news station. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, scrambled eggs every morning.
Speaker 10: I thought it was kind of cuckoo that Kristen makes
Speaker 10: eggs for her dog every morning.
Speaker 2: This is worse, you think for the crows. That's worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: At least Opher appreciates it. The over Iston's friend, right.
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, over his Kristen's crow.
Speaker 2: But that's how.
Speaker 1: Caitlin's treating it like it's her, like it's her pet. No,
Speaker 1: it's not, it's her friend.
Speaker 3: That's a fish crow does it? Is it different if
Speaker 3: it's just an American crow?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they they like they say the
Speaker 1: same thing about ravens and jays.
Speaker 3: But I'm wondering what this listener who DMed about the
Speaker 3: eggs and the chisserie chicken.
Speaker 2: I have an idea.
Speaker 1: Stop it's been a year, like honestly, it's pathetic, like
Speaker 1: he doesn't like you.
Speaker 2: Move on. It's just not that into years.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, You're never going to see Spider Man together.
Speaker 2: Hi, Elliot in the morning, real quick? Who's this?
Speaker 9: Good morning?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 9: Hi, hies this Christine?
Speaker 2: Yes? What can I do for you? Christine?
Speaker 9: So I have a crow that sits out in my
