Crow Magnet School Bus Driver Just Can’t Shake Flock B E L L E V U E, Wash., Nov. 15 — Years ago, school bus driver Phyllis Alverdes started feeding crows seeds and peanuts. The birds got to know her and her car so well that now a flock follows her when she pulls into her parking space at work next to the school district bus lot. Dozens of crows come out of nowhere — even though Alverdes stopped feeding them two weeks ago.  
They still want breakfast, and they want it now. The crows may be smart, but they don't know the trouble Alverdes is in. It turns out the crows like to peck insulation off of buses, and Alverdes was suspended from her job last week. She's back on the job now after an investigation, although she has been directed not to park her crow-crowded car where the other bus drivers park. ‘Stop Following Me’ She's still afraid she'll lose her job because she just can't shake the crows. "When I come to work every day, I don't know how I can be expected to suddenly have them stop following me," she told ABCNEWS affiliate KOMO-TV in Seattle. She said she received a letter from the district directing her "to stop bringing them." The district says her job is safe unless she starts feeding the crows again. "She's back on the job," Ann Oxrieder, spokeswoman for the Bellevue School District, told KOMO-TV. "She must be parking where she was asked to. The crow problem must be alleviated. So I think that's it." Alverdes would like to forget this nightmare. Even better, she'd like the crows to forget her. "I'm going to be 61 years old next month," she said. "Why in the world would I put my job at risk for that … if I had a reasonable chance not to?" "That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32 | |

I saw a cool crow at a zoo. It was rescued, broke its wing I guess, he can't fly to this day, but when you go see him (or her), it bows and says "hello"!

:LOL: Feed the Birds Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's The little old bird woman comes. In her own special way to the people she calls, "Come, buy my bags full of crumbs. Come feed the little birds, show them you care And you'll be glad if you do. Their young ones are hungry, Their nests are so bare; All it takes is tuppence from you." Feed the birds, tuppence a bag, Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag. "Feed the birds," that's what she cries, While overhead, her birds fill the skies. All around the cathedral the saints and apostles Look down as she sells her wares. Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling Each time someone shows that he cares. Though her words are simple and few, Listen, listen, she's calling to you: "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag, Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."  | |
