Owner Shocked When Dog Manages To Befriend Killing Crows: ‘Earn Their Trust’

Unaffected by the crows surrounding the house, a dog managed to infiltrate the flock and gain their trust.

The dog’s owner, Kathryn Keene, said News week via email that when they moved into their house in 2020, the birds were already hanging out in the trees behind their house. Her dog, Luna, was particularly interested in crows. She would run after them and catch them, but she would never kill them. She would just let them go.

“I don’t know if it was a game or if it just gave them a weird respect for her, but one day it kind of stopped,” Keene said.

The unusual relationship between Luna and the crows then developed into morning conversations. Keene said Luna barks several times before stopping. In return, the crows caw.

“Really a back-and-forth conversation,” she said.

Although Keene has yet to film Luna’s conversation with the crows, she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to talk about this incredible and unexpected friendship. She posted to Meta’s Threads app on December 15 (@kathrynkeeneart) and wrote, “My dog ​​kills crows. Like she’s a boss murderer of some sort…”

A flock of crows is known as “murder” because of its association with death.

Keene knows this is a unique relationship because the neighbor’s dog hasn’t had as much luck with these birds. The neighbor’s dog got loose one day and started barking at crows, his post explains. The crows then “started dive-bombing” the dog.

Seeing that these crows are not the most welcoming, Keene wrote: “I still don’t understand what she did to gain their trust.”

She replied to his post with a photo of Luna on the veranda looking out the window at her friends on the street.

With over 5,600 likes and 143 comments, users were amazed at this dog’s ability to get along with crows, noting their jealousy because getting on a crow’s good side isn’t that simple.

Crows can remember human faces for up to 17 years, according to an article in A minute of science reported. These highly intelligent birds also remember if they have been wronged and will hold a grudge. They also pass this resentment on to other crows.

“I think your dog may have been a witch in her past life,” one user wrote.

Another suggested: “Maybe she scared away a predator that was bothering the crows. Even if she only did it once, the crows will remember it.”

A third person said: “I love this! Crows are such intelligent and loyal creatures. She must have done something. Maybe protected them somehow. Maybe her presence makes them feel safe Regardless, having a crow kill that has your back is a life goal!
