You go Crow Girl! (yet another nickname for your collection). Remember the book "Crow Boy"? I'm sure we both must have read it when we were kids. As I recall it was one that came highly recommended by our mutual Mom.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
That's my sweetie.

What they all said - Thanks for caring enough to do something! And my parrot thanks you on behalf of all birds.(Actually, she said 'what's wrong with my bird?", but that translates to 'what a really great thing to do. She must be a really nice person. Thank her for me, would you?')
The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew--and live through it.
Thank you for giving this nature's creature a chance. You are awesome for sticking it out and getting the bird to a rescue center...Again kudos to you. You are a fine example of what it means to 'care' and the where-withall to follow through, the best you can.
Thanks for being a good person and helping a creature who needed it. We need more people like you in this world.
Yay. Thanks for saving such a beautiful creature.
Crows are some of the most under-appreciated birds out there.
They all deserve a chance, and thanks for giving this guy his/hers.

I will call in a couple days to see if "Edgar Allen Crow" made it.
I don't remember "Crow Boy" but I'm sure it was good. TE, our mutual Mom retired as a reading therapist for the school district so we all read early and the best childrens lit.
Telegirl, not a problem. Tell your parrot I like birds, I have a two bird-feeder house, just got a bird bath and am trying to plant stuff that birds like.
Hopefully E.A. Crow makes it, if not on some level he knows humans tried. Thanks to

And the phone stuff was frustrating but in hindsight I'm real comfortable getting through the maze of getting things done on the phone and "phone trees" which are the polite thing to call voice mail he)).

Trek420,
And when you're riding your bike and get swooped by a crow it just might be Edgar Allen coming by to say "Thank you."
Let's here it for good karma, and warm fuzzy healing hearts!
You might have also called your state Game & Fish Department, they either have their own Vet or have numbers of rescue groups.

bmccasland, I called them.
We have a county wild animal rescue that normally is really good. They have a Vet at the location etc. That's the one who said "woops, we're closed, didn't mean for you to get a live person. I gotta get home to American Idol. Call back and you'll get the machine."
Fortunately I called yuwr.org first and she said "If you don't get through to the county call me back and we'll take the bird"

What a great story! I love the visual image of the crow hopping around on your backseat, telling you to change the radio station, saying "When are we gonna be there?!" etc.

Knott, you could leave your job today with a clear conscience, you've done your bit and given them your all. GF brownies are the least they should give you. How about a huge party and can we say Cobra?
I hope the little guy makes it, he was a trouper. Will keep you posted if/when I find out. I was not one for crows, like song birds, humingbirds that kinda thing. But now that I've looked one right in the eye, crows seem inteligent.
