This is wonderful - we have a black doggie and are going to adopt a white doggie. The black dog's name is Raven and I am thinking of naming the puppy Sparrow. This picture would make a perfect announcement picture. May I use it?

This reminds me of a story my dad used to tell me a very long time ago. One winter during a particularly harsh blizzard two crows were very cold and tired and were both afraid that they might freeze, and so were looking for a place they could keep warm. A group of sparrows came up to them and told them they were freezing and begged the crows to keep them warm under their wings. The first crow felt it was a waste of time because he needed to find a hole he could keep warm in, so that he might survive. The second crow decided that while he was most likely going to freeze to death that night there was no sense in allowing the sparrows to die as well, so he allowed them to use his body as a blanket to keep warm. The following morning after the blizzard had passed, the first crow had died, but the second crow had survived, since by keeping the sparrows warm they also ended up keeping him warm.

Crossover species relationships FTW!!!

Also mad points for portraying the crow as an equally loving friendly creature, it's getting kinda old how people mostly portray them mean or something of that type. O__o;

Crows are gorgeous critters, really - there's a murder of them near my workplace, and they love taking baths in the fountain. This is really a symbol of the relationship between myself and =TheCrowchan , but it's one we're fond of.

;O;!!! They're too cute! I can't think of anything else to comment because...they're so adorable ;o;!

That crow looks like he or she has decided to take the cute little sparrow under it's wing X3. Pardon the bad pun, I couldn't seem to resist XD. This picture is so sweet <33. *FAVES*

If it makes you feel better I appreciate that I get to see them. My friend has a birdfeeder outside her window, and the little guys get almost too fat to fly. I love watching them xD

Sorry you're going into America withdrawls =d
