Jim sent me this photo of a rook that he took last fall. Believe me when I say that this is a small specimen. He seems to be bowing to Jim's photographic genius. Don't let this submissive act fool you.
Thanks, Jim!
(Thanks, too, for all the offers of tuna! I'm tempted...Tuna is not a big craving of mine, but it might be nice to have some in the house. How long of a shelf life do the pouches have?)

I'm glad you stopped by! This blog chronicles my experiences living in and adopting from Russia. It was a six-year journey that doubled the size of my family. I adopted my daughter, then age 6, from Moskovskaya Oblast. Now we're back in the USA and no longer posting from Russia.

Submissive? Ha!
See, that rook was so busy pecking at the little morsel trapped under his right claw that he didn't notice me.
I snapped the photo and ran.

I would think that shelf life was pretty good on pouch tuna...offer still stands...email me your address...
DebiP
just be happy that rook isn't sitting on your window ledge...
I think they last a long time! At least I HOPE so, as I have a few in the back of the cupboard!
ok it's time for a new entry so i don't have to see that rook every time i check your blog.
I'm with VOTEMOM, don't like the looks of that bird!
Hey, I'm back... check me out!
