I think all animals have their opinions of us. Many of them are just hoping for a pack leader and some affection. It's easy to damage them, just as the wrong treatment can damage we human beings too. I don't think you can possibly go wrong in any kind act you do for horses or any animal, even if others find your actions a bit odd. What's for sure is that they will listen and not judge us. What doesn't harm them must surely teach them that, even if they think us funny, they appreciate our love and kindness.

Hi Brig57, using birds as an analogy for different personality types is genius. Crows are noisy and flap a lot and always look a bit menacing to me. But there are also many songbirds and those who are willing to trust just a little bit and mean no harm in the world. There's room for all of them, and for all of us. Like birds we need to know which of us are better avoided or treated with caution!

That's very true MarcusAurelius62. Almost entirely irrelevant, one of the first sayings I taught to my husband when he first came to the UK was the old Norfolk 'saw'. 'If you see a lot of crows together, they're rooks, but if you see a rook on its own, it's a crow'. As with most saws I have absolutely no idea whether there's a grain of truth in this or not, but I do regret the teaching, as every country walk is punctuated with the question 'are those rooks or crows?'
And I came across it quite accidentally looking for a Neo-Classical record by a guy called Gifts from Crows. It's a really beautiful, piano inspired record. Check it out.
Click on link below then click first photo link on top left, album called "Holding a Thought Forever". Then scroll down for tracks that you can listen too. You can click on the YouTube link too and see and hear the music. I've ordered the Limited Edition cd. Let me know what you think. The guys name is Andrew Laurence.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. You can share bird thoughts, ideas, anything... anytime you like. Did you by any chance read The Big Year? Wonderful! (The movie based on the book was fun too.) How about Alex and Me? See, I told you I'm a bird nut.
all may be true....and fine- get it............the main thing that speaking only for myslef ..........id rather associate with and work with and feel life is much blessed with the so called weak or kind birds and song birds......who my crows famil and crow associates look down their noses at for being weak........they arent...........the mean of any weed is tough and the last to die..............so what...........i still dont want tat to be in my house................theres more to life thatn my mothers sole barameter of life....toubhenss................her perogative....................i sick of 60 years of her and other runnig over everone else...................those crows...........arent welcome..........
