CCC042: Humins Of A Feather

Posted on July 10, 2025 by crispina kemp

Two old crows sitting on a gate
Cawing about those peculiar furless primates

And have you heard them talk about us?

Aye, a murder, they call us

As if they’re so peaceable

Aye, humins of a feather, that’s what I say

There you’re right, noisy humins don’t they be

Well, you don’t expect crows to be good on spelling and grammar 😁

      I can attest, I’ve seen it in my garden last summer, they murdered a blackbird. Poor thing. And it wasn’t for lack of other food. But instinct will always win. And having said all that, I happen to like crows 🤔🤭😎

        I have great respect for them, and never forget they are carrion eaters, even if that’s just 🪱
