a storm knocked a crow's nest out of a tree in my yard. There were 3 baby crows. I fed them alpo dog food and raised them until it was time to fly away. They never did. They were tame. I kept one and after a call to Henry Doorly, delivered the other 2 to them. I never heard what happened to them after that.

Our crow was a real character known all over town. He made the local paper several times. Once for landing on the open 3rd floor window of a local grade school, flying into the classroom, taking a cross pen from the teachers desk, then flying back out the window....He loved shiny objects..

oh...we renamed ours Henry after our visit to the zoo.

It makes me think of Jake from 'The Shawshank Redemption.'

Henry would take coins when he could, and loved salted nut rolls. My mother was called one Saturday afternoon. Henry was at a nearby church sitting on the hood of a car decorated for a wedding couple. He wouldn't move and the bridesmaids didn't want the couple to come out to find a large black crow sitting on their car. When my mom and I got there, Henry was on that car which was decorated with silver tinsel. He knew he was in trouble and stayed just out of my mother's reach. She finally caught him, turned back toward the church to see all of the wedding guests looking at her in her yard work clothes. .holding a crow...she was livid. ..

He sounds like quite a character!

"The exhibit will feature sprawling outdoor areas and indoor habitats for winter months."

Sounds a lot more confined.

pure escapism and that dome when it's snowing outside yeah thats why they have lockers around. time to put your shorts on probably the best zoo around.. always building though

And a lot of insurance companies in Omaha. Mutual of Omaha used to be a huge contributor. ..anyone remember Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins?
