This man, who recently lost his wife, fed a crow every day. After a few months, the crow returned with something shiny in its beak. What he saw greatly surprised the man.
Imagine living alone, surrounded by the silence of the countryside, with only a crow for company. This is exactly what Georgi, an elderly man living on the outskirts of Vladimir, experienced.
After losing his wife, Georgi isolated himself, avoiding all contact with friends and family. But one day, a crow appeared on his balcony, and everything changed.
This crow, curious and hungry, found a faithful food provider in Georgi. Every day, Georgi brought him something to eat, and this routine became the light in his lonely days. Waiting for the crow, seeing him arrive, feeding him—all of this gave meaning to Georgi’s life.
Winter arrived, and Georgi had to leave his home for a few months to visit his daughter in another city. During his absence, he couldn’t stop thinking about the crow, wondering if he would ever come back. He missed this unexpected and precious bond with the bird terribly.
Upon his return, Georgi was uncertain. But the very next morning, he heard a familiar tap-tap at the window. He opened the balcony door and saw the crow, holding something shiny in its beak.
The crow dropped its “gift” and stepped back. Georgi picked up the object and discovered an earring that his wife had lost years ago.
How did the crow find this object? It’s a mystery. But these birds are known for their intelligence and ability to understand human emotions. They can make logical connections and show empathy.
This story once again proves how profoundly and unexpectedly animals can touch our lives.
