I'm surprised the news item only made a few channels some years back but
does anyoen remember the Japanese kids who would play on a park slide,
the proceedings being watched by (I think) a Raven.

They'd then have to get to school and the Raven would fly to the top of
the slide, slide to the bottom then fly to the top again repeatedly.

Who says birds aren't like people! ;-)



Missed that one in the news, I'm afraid. But aren't ravens known for doing
this sort of thing? My ignorance is profound, BTW!


That's the beauty about growing old! There's a point where you are
quite content that you know nothing whereas the old ego as a youngster
is bubbling away and God forbid a youngster getting something wrong.
