Remember it on British TV as a youngster...Brilliant !!
Me and my mate adopted a young crow that fell out of its nest in Hertfordshire on the strength of that..We named it Joe.
It caused our families a lot of hassle as it kept stealing shiny things and returning them to us..
Clothes pegs were another thing it was fond of..
Just a bit of wind and the neighbours clothes went everywhere!! LoL.
