Here is a sentence we never expected to type: a Canadian woman is now receiving regular gifts from a local gang of crows — and honestly? She earned it.
Leah Wilson, a member of the Métis people, spotted an injured crow stuck in a roof gutter and didn't walk past. She flagged down a passing fire truck ("Hey! You look like you want to save a crow today"), got the bird rescued, and drove it to a wildlife vet herself. The crow held onto her finger the whole way. She called it "life-changing" — and that turned out to be an understatement.
The crow was eventually released back into the wild with a leg band, and the local murder apparently held a meeting about it. Soon after, one of them flew down and dropped a feathered bundle at her feet. Then another gift. Then another. Now, every time Leah goes for a walk, the crows circle around her like a tiny, very loyal escort service.
The original crow — identifiable by his leg band — still comes by to say hi. Leah's Métis upbringing always taught her to nurture her relationship with the natural world. We'd say the natural world got the memo.
