We've all heard poignant tales of rescue dogs and cats, but here's an incredibly heartwarming story about a rescue crow who has become inseparable from the family that saved him.
Yahoo News reports that last spring, a family in Ottawa, Canada, discovered a badly injured baby crow by the path. Although the family already owned two cats, they decided to take the baby bird home and nurse him back to health.
The Renaud named their new pet crow, Walter, and under their diligent care, he was soon able to fly again. The problem? After becoming healthy again, he refused to leave their home. Instead, Walter chose to take up the position of beloved family pet.
"He's like another child in the family" Zachary Renaud told CBC News.
Although Walter lives with the Renauds, he is free to come and go as he pleases and he mostly feeds himself. However, he rarely strays far from the Renaud house.
On the first day of school this year, Elissa Renaud realized that Walter wasn't about to go anywhere anytime soon. According to CBC News, the bird accompanied her in walking the kids to school, a tradition he continues to this day.
"As I walked the kids to school, he trotted along behind us and I realized, yeah, he thinks he's part of us and he's going to walk the kids to school and take care of them and be part of the gang. I realised he is going to stay.
“We go on bike rides around, and we talk together, and sometimes if I'm feeling sad I'll tell him because I know he won't tell anyone else. Or secrets my friends have told me, and I really need to get them out, I'll just tell him because I know he won't talk," Livia Renaud told CBC News. "I really love him and if something ever happened to him I would be really, really, really sad."
Well, other bird might not hold so much loyalty as the Crows...
Becoz Crows are known to take care of their family, even their parents when they are old...

ic.. always thought crows are only very smart. That means they don't sent their aged parents to old bird's home
smart? cuckold is the smartest
Lay egg into other bird's nest...
Then baby cuckold also power, they hatch faster then most birds, so the baby cuckold will push all the eggs out of the nest... Since young already know how to silence off their competitors for food in the nest
