Two crows were dropping a nut from the telephone wire trying to get it to crack.
When I approached it, they got a little skittish but then they saw me stomping it with the heel of my foot.
I successfully cracked it open and pried it apart, then walked away. They swooped down and started eating the inside.
Although, maybe they weren’t skittish. They dropped it right in front of me and then sat there looking at me. Maybe I did exactly what they wanted me to do.
Anyway now I have some crow frens.
So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
