What a beautiful, sweet, smart and loving bird. Thank you for treating her with kindness and love and for sharing your life with her. May she rest in peace.
Except the warmth and safety of her home. She refused to share that. Although the dog and cat were given these life-saving gifts.
@rockit3422 what a ridiculous uninformed comment. The crow is a wild bird, only a terrible person would trap her inside a house when she's obviously healthy and uninjured. She doesn't require anything nature doesn't provide. Dogs and cats are domestic animals that can't survive well on their own in the wild, Crows can. Wild animals should never be removed from their natural habitat unless they absolutely need a humans care for injury or illness and they can't survive otherwise. Even then, they should be released as soon as they are well. Very few situations require a wild creature to remain permanently under the care of a human. Healthy wild birds do not belong in houses. They need to fly free and live amongst their own species in their natural habitat to remain truly happy and healthy.
What you are forgetting is that a dog and a cat are domesticated pets. A free-living crow has a boundless freedom that no domestic animal can have. And it has its flock of conspecifics. Kaley has given Darling this freedom and has not interfered with nature. You have to choose sides...
I think that was right. There was something off about Darling, baby minded, never grew up. Was never observant enough for the flock. She was dropped there by the parents and she would have been too cooped up in the house. She was treated as her parents would have wanted. Don't be angry.@@rockit3422

I disagree with you, and I note a contradiction in what you say. Kindly note that cats and dogs are not born domesticated and so they need to be trained to be domesticated, although the level of domesticating intensities differ from animal to animal dependending on their current living environment and their natural level of psychology. Crows are definitely not as amenable to domestication as cats, dogs and rabbits are - this is pretty obvious; however, in the case of Darling this crow's affinity towards human love and affection was indeed very much pronounced owing to the fact that she was an orphan crow whom Kayley greatly helped by making a nesting home for her. It is my belief that Darling sensed Kayley's help and reciprocally manifested her deep gratitude to her by continuing to stay in the family's immediate environment and befriending Sam the dog and Gigi the cat. Darling was definitely looking for a warm and loving home with her human parents - this is not to say that she was to be permanently imprisoned within the home of her human parents but to have the opportunity to return to her human home. So why couldn't the family allow her to stay in their home and to be accommodated in a bird cage. If this were not passible for reasons whatsoever, then the least that the family could have done was to have built a bird house for her outside the house - this would have protected Darling from predators. All I can say is that this family failed to go the extra step by safeguarding Darling by giving her a secure home to live in. This is the painful tragedy to all of us who love and care for animals.
I kept seeing all the past tense verbs and I kept thinking “man, soon they’re gonna say the crow died,” and even knowing this, I wasn’t ready and still felt a bit teary. Got dang bro, rest in peace crow bro.
Yeah I was the same I knew it was going to end sadly but even the short amount of time they all had together would of been 10 lifetime experiences in a short period I hope darling is in crow heaven r.i.p you were one special bird
Exactly. I braced myself...but - no good.
I've tamed 2 feral cats 2 different times...out here in the Blue Ridge mountains. They each went from Wild and ferocious, to loving and tame.
Then they each disappeared, independent of each other. I tell myself that they wandered off and found a loving partner. But I know that coyotes are smart and hungry, here in these mountains. I never tried to keep the cats inside when they wanted to be out and running free. Each one had his own personality. Each one affected me deeply and enriched my life, just like all my domestic pets have always done.

The idea of her being eaten by a bird of prey is really horrific. I have a family of crows that I give treats to in our backyard. I was devastated when their nest was ransacked one year.
@@Wayniesgirl Hawks don't go after crows, usually crows bother hawks even one on one. In my area crows bombdive hawks everytime they see one. Maybe just maybe darling went to another family that would allow her in or she passed because it was her time to go.
Several years ago there was a young crow with its leg stuck in our chain link fence. Two other crows were just trying to help free it and then just watched from the grass. I went to the fence with gloves and goggles on and freed the bird. That bird still lives in a nest in a pine tree in my backyard and brings my family random shiny objects.
Amazing. Our crows refuse to even let themselves be seen by humans, I just hear them all day, but today I ran into the woods because they were making an especially frantic racket. I finally found them in a tree with a massive great horned owl they were bullying, lol, and I hooted at him which made him look at me and fly away, I knew he would. I'm hoping this was a small step toward getting the crows to notice/like me. I love.your story
❤ohh how this touches my heart. I moved 1 year ago to a retirement apartment, at my house I had 2 crows that I had coffee & peanuts with every morning for 14 years. They would come when I called them & every year bring me their baby to show off.
Now when I stop by my old house they still come & I miss them so much.
😢❤
I'm sure they miss you too, Nancy.
🥹❤️
Beautiful
Very sad to hear about Darling’s passing. She certainly was a very special bird.
I do not recollect reading about Darling's demise. Perhaps Darling is not dead and has relocated to another region after having found a new human and / or crow family. All the same may Almighty God care, protect and feed our beautiful Darling.
I'm so sorry
@@rolandfernandez9529Bro what😂
She should’ve let the bird inside where it’s safe
@@Reav052Was thinking that too
I've been friends with a crow for over 2 years. Normally, the crows in my area are extremely shy, but one of them oddly picked me out and decided to be a soulmate. I haven't missed a morning in over 2 years to feed her. She has a male partner and he often acts jealous, but she is considerate enough to make sure he doesn't feel left out. She lets him know that she still loves him, by carrying food over when he refuses to join us. We communicate without words. Sometimes she comes over just to sit and look at me and my cat, and we sit and watch the crow. They're not as friendly with eachother as the animals in this video, but we're making slow progress. I think my cat is able to tell my crow apart from the others, as I have multiple visitors each day, but only one of them is special. On few days she doesn't show up on time, I get very worried, but she always comes back. Even in the worst of weather, she'll still come over to eat. If she wants something different, other than what I offer, she'll walk away from the food and wait for me to replace it with a different dish. Because of that I always have to have a wide selection of food items. Since I feed her well, she looks pristine. Shiny smooth feathers. Compared to other street crows, who dig through garbage, mine looks like a royalty. I'm deeply honored to be that crow's friend. As years pass, I fear the day when she might finally disappear. We do have predator birds like bald headed eagles. There are dangers, but unfortunately, I can do nothing to keep the crow safe. All I can do is hope she gets to live a good life and I will help as much as I can.
WELL SAID
Sounds like you have a true friend in her.
I am jealous! I want a crow friend.What a blessing💗🥰💗
I hope you have years and years with her🙏🙏
May I ask what you feed your Crow Queen? There is a murder of crows nearby that gather near our apartment building’s dumpster. I talk to them on occasion and have wanted to befriend them. Would love to know what you have found your crow friend’s food preference to be.
Crows and It made me sad that you lost her way too soon. Ravens and crows are so smart. They sing, dance, talk, play. Thank you for sharing her with us. She was truly special.
In times we are going through, when so much is negative this is a most refreshing true life story. Thanks for sharing this part of your lives with us. I have found crows to be most fascinating
I knew heartbreak was coming because all of this was said in the past tense. Crows are so amazing. At my last home, I lived in the territory of a shy, quiet crow couple. We fed them every day and they became very comfortable with us, coming close and hanging out on our small deck with us. One liked to play peekaboo with me. They could tell that I'm disabled (and small) and, as quiet as they were, they still became very protective of me, watching "intruders" (strangers in the yard) very closely and carefully if those intruders were interacting with me. They were only protective of me though, not my tall, abled husband. It was very sweet.
god bless ur soul
Im not crying, you're crying. I have heard that crows are incredibly smart, but Ive never seen anything like this. And I love how she still respected Darling as a wild animal and enjoyed her with those boundaries in mind. Lovely story and she truly was an amazing friend!
Me too; I just had something in my eye. lol. What an amazing experience, so beautiful. May God rest her soul. x
66 yr old man here. Same.
I was actually cutting onions when I watched this video, so, there's that😂❤
I was crying 😭😭🥹
Respected Darling was a wild animal. Right , the crow pleaded to be let inside and after the crow gave her something special she wouldn't let the crow in, especially at night. Sad ending to a preventable situation if I ever seen one.
Evolved Spirit Darling Crow. Thank you for taking her that day as a baby. You taught this sensitve
Spirit compassion and empathy.
This story broke my heart Into pieces I couldn't help but let the tears flow. What an amazing bird and what honor it was to know about her or him.
What a bitter sweet story, amazing for Darling to have shared so much with Sam & Gigi & the humans in the family & so sad to lose her so young as they can live for years.
Thank you Geobeats for sharing the story & to the family for caring so much for this beautiful bird.
WHAT HAPPENED to the crow?
@@hannypressley343 I don't think that they know. Darling seemed to just disappear and not return.
@@sashasabbeth6836 So they think she passed ? Soo sadd..What ever is written i couldn't read
Yeah. Dark chocolate bitter sweet metaphorically speaking =(. I envy Kalie. I wish i had this connection with a wild animal 😍 😊.
@@hannypressley343 Taken by a bigger, stronger bird of prey
I grew up in the country, where an immigrant farmer from Poland had rescued a crow. Its name was Echo. We lived about a third of a mile across the field on a hill. Whenever Echo saw my siblings and I outside in the yard playing, he would fly over. Echo knew four or five words and how to say them: his name, "Echo," and "hello," I recall. He would sit on a low, nearby branch and "talk" with us. We had dogs and cats as well as us, so he avoided coming down to the ground. . . . Then one day Echo stopped coming over. We would look across the field and call its name. It had always been so thrilling to see his black image flying toward us, but that would no longer happen. We were told later that Echo had been shot simply because they had wanted something to shoot at. Whereas Echo would let us pet him, the wild crows had learned what guns were. They became very mistrustful of humans in general, but when a gun appeared, you could hear the alarm calls, and they would fly even further away. Echo was a special bird. He liked us. We missed him a great deal.

Firearms should be illegal. Why do ordinary citizens need them anyway. It makes me furious.

That is very tragic. I am sorry for the loss of your crow friend.
@@titicatfollies6615 Say that when a 6'3 man breaks into your house with a knife.
For several year there were three crows that would sit on the telephone line outside my apartment window and would torment, I mean visit, my two cats. Every time I heard a squawking outside I knew it was between 2:30 and 3:00. It honestly seemed like it was just part of their day. I haven't seen them in a long while. Perhaps they found other cats to bother, I mean visit.
Great story about Darling. How fortunate you and your family are to have enjoyed the company of a crow.
Simply, beautiful. Rest in Peace, Darling. Never thought I'd love hearing about a crow until today. Great great story.
I rescued two crows like this over 35 years ago. I raised them by hand. I trained them how to fly and eventually I release them and they survived for 22 years each….. fabulous birds very beautiful, my favourite bird, very intelligent
I hope you well survived the 'flying-training'
Did you buckle down and run across your yard and start flapping your wings to teach them how to fly?

😂That's exactly what I came here to comment. This is a life/experience most of us will never be able to have. Crows (corvids in general) are amazing!
Weirdo. You believe everything on youtube.
How long did she live for?
Kinda made me wanna move to Canada for a second. Only a second. The next second, I remembered how much I hate the cold 😭
It's like she is living in a studio ghibli movie.
WOW! Animals are ACTUALLY SO SPECIAL! We have JUST touched the surface with their Intelligence! Thanks Geobeats for ANOTHER video as always!
Beautiful story, sad end 🥲
Good bless you all.
"Hanging out with Darling is like being in another dimension." ❤
Just Pure Joy, indeed.
Ironically I read your comment as she said that! What a blessing ❤
You missed the "dimension" of this story.
@@marcelbork92 oh, yes! This is so right...
I missed the essence of that dimension for so long. But the thing is - it was meant to be, as I had to miss it to get it. Well, it costs... but the experience of missing it and getting it is the whole point. Just wait for it... it will come (only) when you are ready. 👍🌅
@@miglena2sboom. That hit hard for lil Marcel. Well returned my friend, well returned. ❤
Easy to understand and agree with. Those birds are brilliant and make u feel like something hard to explain.
It’s funny how you feel so much joy and happiness for 8 minutes and in just 15 seconds you feel your heart break.
the title was a giveaway though
Fuck man, you hit the nail on the head haha just keep scrolling the pain away
I know, I’m still crying 10 minutes later 😅
crows are loyal and helpful to family members. Congrats for being part of this crow's family. Lovely. And what a tribe you have! A dog, cat, and bird. They usually chase each other. You have a very awesome tribe family.
Aww :( that is so sad about Darling. What a fantastic lil bird. That Bird had a real soul and connected with you and your family in a very special way. RIP lil Darling. Id be devastated
Darling’s ability to bridge the worlds of Gigi, Sam and humans is fascinating. She seems to possess a carnal wisdom, a kind of animal intuition, which heightens the connections within this diverse family. Her presence not only enriched their interactions but also offered a fascinating glimpse into the complex emotional world of animals, which often remains a mystery to humans. What an amazing story and I’m very sorry for your loss.
That was a one in one million crows indeed 😊🙏✨🐦⬛✨

This is a story is about this beautiful crow in the name of Darling and not about the domestication of animals. This was a miraculous story that happens once in a thousand life times. We humans are called to treasure and cherish such miraculous and touching stories of humans and animals, and to pass these touching and miraculous stories to generations of human beings - this miraculous and touching story is about Darling, an orphaned crow that wanted to show its gratitude to the humans who saved it from certain starvation and eventual death. By way of gratitude to Kayley, family and Sam the dog and Gigi the cat, Darling wanted to spend her life with this family in their home. While I am not necessarily advocating keeping birds in the home, the least that Kayley and family could have done was to have built a bird house within the external vicinity of their farm house. It was most obvious that Darling grew very very fond of the family and loved playing with Gigi and Sam in the immense garden. Its very disappointing to note that Kayley and family did not go the extra mile to help Darling with a warm and loving home, even after she visited them at their home window and made those attention-seeking sounds. It was manifestly obvious that Darling indeed became most intimate and protective with the externality of the house and its immediate environment to the extent that she swooped down to attack anyone and every one who dared to approach "her house". We who love and remember Darling can only hope and pray that she is safe wherevers she is. May Almighty God bless and protect our sweetheart Darling.
@@rolandfernandez9529this comment was longer than the video.
@@nicholsonjay4724and several of us enjoyed this little rabbit hole of humanity
@@nicholsonjay4724and seemingly written by a bot. So verbose!
This story brought me to tears. In 6 minutes I got totally emotionally invested in Darling. At the point which she was BFFs with my Dog and Cat - I would have definitely built a safe house for her. RIHP Darling. You were sooooo special.
The same for me, I would have built a safe place...😢😢😢
yes but she most likely got catched when flying outside. normally crows chase away also much bigger birds of prey, sometimes in groups but also alone.
Same here.
Building a safe house for a wild animal while might be a good intention, is also a bad idea. Darling was still wild and would have suffered without his/her freedom.
thank you. i was about to comment to say the same thing@@ZepG
GeoBeats does it again.
Just when I think I've heard the most inspiring and heartening tale they give me this❤❤❤
You were right to not let Darling in. Always have a healthy respect for wild animals.
"If you love someone
set them free."
If people knew how sweet loyal and intelligent crows are everyone would have one.
Crows are so smart. I helped one whose foot got hurt and she/he mimicked my cell phone. That was her "call" to me that she was around. She/he, too, managed to get get caught by a bird of prey and I felt so lost for so long like losing family. It was one of my saddest experiences, ever.
I'm so sorry ...
Corvids are incredibly smart. Sam seems like such a beautifully natured dog. I have a special relationship with my parrot and various rescue birds I've nurtured over the years. This lady is a sweet soul ❤
that’s beautiful. I love birds and other animals so much, thank you for rescuing your bird friends.
Not really. She refused to let this vulnerable bird inside. Save the animals from people like this who think pronouns are more important than going out of their way to keep an animal safe.
@@suzannemarienau2760 what are you talking about? It's a wild animal. She did keep it safe by bringing it to safety as a fledgling. You can't bring every wild animal inside to 'protect' it. The crow didn't want to come inside at night, it slept in the forest, so letting it in during the day wouldn't have achieved a thing. It wasn't any more vulnerable than every creature living as nature intended. It could fly, forage, and protect its territory. Not the slightest bit more vulnerable than any other wild bird.
@@suzannemarienau2760 I agree with you 100% sadly.
@@suzannemarienau2760nonsense, its not a dog or a cat, those indeed are animals that can not stand low temperatures
Darling sacrificed her life to save one of you. They see in the quantum realm and know things. She gave her life you. This is so touching. I'm still crying. Thank you for protecting the sacred.
I feel it. Yes it has the quantum realm. Respect
Thank you for that! It was so worth the time it took. I bet it was super difficult and you quit several times.
But that is one of the most beautiful things to happen, the 4 of you,, from 4 different species yet all having the same emotions and therefore a mutual understanding of each other. Emotions are an animals cognition. Thank you.
I love crows. My Grandpa had one when I was young and his name was Sammy. Sammy would say "Hello, how are you?" and sounded exactly like my Grandpa. On Sunday mornings, the church windows were open and Sammy would fly over and sit on the window sill and say hello to the people in the pews whether the preacher was speaking or not! Never been another one like him! Love this story about Darling, thank you for sharing!
dear sir reading your story made me continue to cry for a bit longer after thare story.My grandma and grandpa had an owl and a bear they yoused to call them there kids.I have been blessed to have many kinds of Animals in my life but my favorite was a racoon my mom brought home, he was so smart my dad hated him and my duck.lol hugs tami from 5980

@@rolandfernandez9529 Are you being critical of my story or of Kayley not doing enough? Kayley did what she felt best and she has my respect. Me, I had no control over my Grandfather's decision to domesticate Sammy. It was just a story to reiterate what Kayley was saying about the intelligence of crows. Have a nice day.
@@christinefuller3168
No I am not being critical about you, and no offense intended.
I do not want to use the word critical because it sounds legal. I'm saying that I wish that Kayley and family had given Darling a home in a birdhouse where she could have lived in the comfort of knowing that she was near her adopted family. Obviously, Darling was very fond of Kayley and family including their dog, Sam and their cat, Gogi. It hurts me to know that Kayley and family did not go the extra mile by giving Darling a birdhouse to stay in. Yes, Kayley did care for Darling, but I just wish that she had gone the extra mile.
Thank you for having responded.
@@rolandfernandez9529I was thinking the same thing. Even though, their love for Darling was obvious, I was saddened that they didn't let them in their home or build a bird house, so she could feel safe😢
Absolutely one of the most evocative connections between man, bird, cat dog ever. I am truly happy for you to have had that ultimate experience with Darling and your furry family. Just so compellingly beautiful!

Thank you for sharing this story. My heart breaks for your loss. Profoundly moving to see the love, joy and pure beauty of these relationships.
Ow, my heart. I knew the ending was coming...but damn I didn't think I'd cry.
It's a blessing that you and darling got to share so much together....it's just so sad that the circle of life is the way it is and something so beautiful was snatched away from you.
RIP Darling, you'll be missed more than you know.
I had a pet crow when I was a child... Oh, the stories that I have! Blackie was so intelligent and protective of us. Good memories! Thanks for sharing your story of Darling.
dude me and my brothers also had a crow called blackie as children crazy! probably just a childs first call if he sees a black bird xD he also disappeared one day, i will always remember him for breaking into our house thru any window u open and eating my mothers hair. he also shit on a pillow I havent washed it since muhahahaha
More than simply being territorial, I think Darling was being protective of this family when strangers would arrive.
Isn’t this program wonderful
_"There will never be another darling"_ is fitting and true, but it's also sad and final. You painted such a remarkable, moving portrait of your and your family's friend.
There will NEVER be THIS darling again.
Yes, I know. Kayley gave us an excellent video of Darling. This video is so very heart warming and at the same time heart breaking. Thanks to Kayley, Darling was a happy crow while she lived within the confines of Kayley's home. I just wish Kayley and family had built a bird home for Darling as the video and Kayley's narrative clearly shows that Darling very much wanted to be part of Kayley's family. I can understand that keeping a crow in one's home may be a bit bizarre, but if Kayley and family had built a birdhouse for Darling, it may afforded the freedom and flexibility to Darling as well as to have given her that intimacy that Darling so much desired.
WOW, you had your own Forest? I wish I had that. Female crows have a softer, higher-pitched voice, and when they caw it sounds like shrieking. You will see her again in Crow Heaven.
It seems like Darling was asking to live with you and be part of your family. I don’t see the harm in allowing a wild bird to become a pet and live inside your house.
The ending made me sad. I wish she would’ve let Darling sleep indoors and kept her as a pet bc Darling seemed to have wanted to live inside for sleeping. But, I know it’s not for wild animals. Sam wasn’t there to chase away birds of prey. I’m going to believe that she met a hunk of a crow and decided to slip. What a beautiful bird. This woman was lucky.
I truly didn't understand her reasoning. Wild animals don't hang around like pets. That bird wanted to be her pet
I agree completely. When an animal picks you out and wants to come in, you let them in. It's such a rare thing.
What a lovely tribute to this precious bird. ♥️
You literally could've prevented that by letting the crow live with you guys, but no and then when the crow inevitably died to a predator in the wild you go ahead and cry for the camera such a fake scumbag.
What a lovely tribute to this wonderful woman.

Quite extraordinary! I love animals but birds are really special. bless you all!
Thats too sad I feel like since it was a daily thing and the beautiful crows antics, everything would be off putting not having her around and how the pets loved her and miss her, this story makes me want to cry 😭
This was truly out of the pages of a storybook ...Love is always a miracle.....This animal family proved it.
(this is the comment that deserved the 1500 likes)
And the scenery is just breath taken. How lucky to have an experience like that ❤
I wouldn’t say lucky, I would say very fortunate. AMAZING STORY, JUST BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for sharing your LIFE with the world. Much love.
So your magical adopted dog drew Darling and Gigi into the family ❤. I’m surprised Darling never spoke to you . My uncle had a crow that he saved lived by his yard. He’d sit high on a tree and greet my uncles neighbors.
I’m sorry your sweet pet is no longer with you but you gave it one enriched life. Bless you for that ❤❤❤
Wonderfull kind words, but Calie did not consider Darling a pet, as she mentioned at 4:00 , they were friends.
You don’t know what you got till it’s gone. The story was so great until the end brought out all my ptsd for fkk sakes lol. Still dealing with the deaths of 3 family members and a pet bird myself. But that’s life, something we all have to face eventually. And if you aren’t the lucky one to face it then your family members will.
Darlings name suited her. I’m glad she found this family while she was here.
My ❤️ heart goes out Darling and your family. I’m happy to see the precious moments you guys shared.
A wonderful story. It’s always sad when one of the animals goes. We all grieve, and, of course, including them.
It’s great that you documented all of it. You’re right it will probably never happen again.❤
Oh boy!!!! Great story of genuine respect and love from all parties involved....could write a children story book on this it would bring out the example of love, friendship and loss all in one something our children need to know about from an early enough age as a natural part of life...thank you for sharing
@@trudy-annsmall9600you’re so right
it was bound to happen...........hawks kill birds...and this crow was totally alone, an easy target simply because it had not gone off and found others of its kind... with even a small group crows become aware of killer birds and sound alarms to warn other creatures of the danger.
It’s heartbreaking. I wish you let her inside and made a little space for her, she clearly was part of your family
still very much family without crossing the line and letting it in the house !
Yes - I would have made a place for her, and she's free to come and go.
I helped a baby starling that I found at our hangar that had fallen over 30 feet from its nest. It could not fly, had barely any feathers and had ants all over it, I just couldn't leave it. I had no idea what to do. Contacted someone who suggested lots of meal worms, mashed up strawberries, lettuce etc. He/she grew up to fly a few months later. I brought "Tweet" back to the hangar and our office throwing meal worms out into the grass showing Tweet how to dig for his meals. He even recognized my car when we would pull up and would fly onto the the rear view mirrors waiting for his meal worms. One day he never came, then it turned into days, weeks and months. I just hope that he was not hurt and is doing okay. It's sure hard not to hope that I may see him this spring. We can only do our best when animals are hurt or are in need.
What a cute and intelligent bird and what a beautiful experience you has with her. What a beautiful story of friendship. Sad to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace.
Deeply sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing this wonderful bird with everyone. I wanted a crow when I was a little kid, but I have no idea why. I just love all birds. Thanks again, and I'm glad Darling had such a great life with you.
@@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus1You really dare choose to treat the word of Christ, like an infectious disease? Just forcibly spreading it without consent then believing you're the good one... You take something beautiful and use it as a weapon of manipulation. Be gone demon, you invoked the wrong entity.
It wasnt her loss it was a wild bird ya wacko. Her befriending the bird feeding it and such is was caused its demise.
@@uhnogoodfound the sociopath
@@uhnogood That doesn't even make sense... Had she kept it in the house it would never have gotten killed by a predator.
That was a beautiful story. I just started crying so hard when she said the other crows were doing alarm calling because I knew something bad happened. Crows have always been my way of predicting certain things and they are truly misunderstood but they are wonderful to have in your realm of spiritual animals.
I never realized until watching videos on YT, how brilliantly smart crows are........
From happy tears to sad tears. This is a beautiful story. Thank you for being so kind ❤
Connection among animals is beautiful and animals' connection with humans is amazing. I love how they interacted with each other. Their love is so precious and admirable. It's fabulous to see this unique family relationship
WOW - I am so moved by your care for Darling! You cared enough to let her be a wild animal and respected her intelligence enough to not deny her interaction. A testament to how we can share space.
Yeah, with comments like this I understand why you couldn't possibly eat a chicken or a turkey or duck or pigeon.
@@FactsBeFactsYou just had to be “that guy” didn’t ya? I bet you’re suspicious of your own shadow.
This is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve been privileged to watch. Simply amazing ❤❤❤
This is a story is about this beautiful crow in the name of Darling and not about the domestication of animals. This was a miraculous story that happens once in a thousand life times. We humans are called to treasure and cherish such miraculous and touching stories of humans and animals, and to pass these touching and miraculous stories to generations of human beings - this miraculous and touching story is about Darling, an orphaned crow that wanted to show its gratitude to the humans who saved it from certain starvation and eventual death. By way of gratitude to Kayley, family and Sam the dog and Gigi the cat, Darling wanted to spend her life with this family in their home. While I am not necessarily advocating keeping birds in the home, the least that Kayley and family could have done was to have built a bird house within the external vicinity of their farm house. It was most obvious that Darling grew very very fond of the family and loved playing with Gigi and Sam in the immense garden. Its very disappointing to note that Kayley and family did not go the extra mile to help Darling with a warm and loving home, even after she visited them at their home window and made those attention-seeking sounds. It was manifestly obvious that Darling indeed became most intimate and protective with the externality of the house and its immediate environment to the extent that she swooped down to attack anyone and every one who dared to approach "her house". We who love and remember Darling can only hope and pray that she is safe wherevers she is. May Almighty God bless and protect our sweetheart Darling.
You literally could've prevented that by letting the crow live with you guys, but no and then when the crow inevitably died to a predator in the wild you go ahead and cry for the camera such a fake scumbag.
😭😭 This is so amazing, beautiful and sad at the same time. I didn’t want the story to end this way 😭 it looked like a fairy tale! What a beautiful story/life. What an amazing experience you, Gigi, Sam & your husband had. May she rest in peace ❤️🫶🐾🐾
All 3 of these animal companions are so beautiful. Sweet spirits, sweet souls 💞💞
What a magical experience…💕loved watching the three of them playing together. Thanks for sharing, so sad sweet Darling is no longer present.😥
I'm sitting here crying after watching this over a bird I didn't even know. What a beautiful, loving story over a true soul connection.
Why not let her in the house? She didnt have the protection of her crow community, her domesticated behavior made her easy to stalk. She shouldn't have died so soon. RIP, darling.
I was thinking the same.
Bro u prob have no idea what youre actually talking about
@lenarton5958 yea it's always better to be safe then sorry you don't want to take away a wild animals survival skills
@lenarton5958 If you rescue a bird and it becomes imprinted to humans like this, you either have to make it a legal ambassador for a rescue or you have to euthanize it. You CANNOT just full release it. If you do this, just illegally let the bird in. No cop will know when you live in the middle of nowhere. It was at least partially their fault for its death for putting it outside like that at all times. It didn't have the street smarts that would have been taught by the other crows. I was part of a bird rescue for like 5 years, we had a few failed rehabs. It's super unethical to just let them go when they're like this.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! What a wonderful place to live, the wide open spaces of Canada that are absolutely perfect for animals. Darling was a one-of-a-kind bird, just like that one pet that will always stay with you, the one that was so special, loving, and intelligent you will never be able to replace them. I hope Darling wasn't taken by a bird of prey, I think she was too intelligent to meet her demise in this way. I only pray that the end of her life was quick and painless. Sam and Gigi are very special as well. I had a threesome like that years ago, and I still think of them and miss them to this day. Thank you for this wonderful story of three very special friends.
Very, very moving.
You had me crying at Darling's end...
Much love to you and your loved ones.
Me, too. Very sad end!

Thought‐provoking.
Darling really has a place deep in my heart.
So sweet. I'm tearing up at the amazing bond Darling had with this family. Rest in peace, little one. ❤
loved seeing her taking the dog for a walk :) amazing video xx
Moved almost to tears. What an amazing, touching story.
Somehow I knew this story was going to have a sad ending but it just reinforces the idea to try and live in the actual moment and be thankful as things happen not simply in wistful retrospect. You and your family were so lucky to have such a special experience but I think part of it is you who seem to bring out the "special" in those around you.
She kept speaking in past tense, I knew something was up. 😔
When I realised you were talking in the past tense I started crying ….. bloody hell, nature is so brutal at times 😭
I'm still crying.😪
Wow Wow What an extraordinary tale of lovely people and Gorgeous babies ❤
An Absolute treat.
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a fabulous story! Too often, people disregard the relationships people can have with animals, even wild animals. It’s heartwarming to know how your family loved this crow; you gave he4 more than she would’ve ever had.
What a beautiful video of this amazing crow named Darling who lived the best possible life and obviously adored her human friends. I was privileged to become friends with a family of ravens and could not believe how intelligent they were. Thanks for the wonderful video about this beautiful bird and how she touched your hearts. Her story now has touched so many thousands now.
One of the most beautiful and tragic stories I have ever heard. She was a blessing.❤
YES THE ENDING WAS VERY SAD IT MAKES ME FEEL THAT NOTHING IS FOR EVER 😢😢😢
Sheep thought extinct
Smart people know how smart crows are already
Your story made my day!
I LOVE Crows, they are special n have an 800 word vocabuary and face recognition.
How special y'all were to have this, "Darling,"in your lives.
It is so hard to lose these precious ones. She had an amazing life and family with you all. ♡
There will never be another Darling....my heart broke for all of you. She knows where she belonged...tucked in your hearts.
Darling had lived a full life, making friend with human, a cat and a dog. May Darling rest in peace and had a good rebirth. Thank you for compiling your filming into a moving real life story. I once also shared a close bond with a small bird too.
I noticed you were speaking in past tense about her so I knew it was going to break my heart at the end and was right! I can only imagine how heart broken you are from her absence! It was a Beautiful friendship may she always be watching over yours/her family from Heaven. May she rest in peace. I'm sorry for your loss. ❤😢❤
Also I'm so Sorry for your Loss ...my son passed June 2nd and we Love Crows and Ravens ...he spoke to the crows befor he spoke human words ...
So again ..I am sorry fir your losses for all of you ...😔but thank you for shareing your beautiful story ...
🫴💞✨️🕊💫🖤
Deepest sympathies to you!! ❤❤
That was a heartbreaking end. Sam, Gigi and their family, Darling was a blessing.
Man, you had to hit me with that at the end :(
The rest was so heartwarming. But I suppose the depth of one’s grief is heartwarming in a way, seeing that they did truly and deeply love the one they lost.
Awww, what a sweet little soul. I know Darling is missed.
Wolves and corvids have a long history of helping each other hunt and watching out for each other. It's beautiful to see that tradition coming somewhat in from the wild. I absolutely LOVED this story! 💜
A beautiful and sad story at the same time.
Crows are so cute and smart they have emotions they hold court! They practice drills to stop bigger birds from attacking and taking baby Crows! THEY have memories for cars faces hair. They are so precious I know Crows they even open their beaks to catch rain water! They call me MA! MA! MA! LOOK! THEY ARE SO SWEET AND PLAYFUL! YOU DO HAVE A UNIQUE FAMILY OF CROWS! THEY PLAY! SHE IS A BABY LET HER IN@
How lucky you are to have experienced her in your life! Beautiful story! ❤
I'm in tears. So tragic an ending for such a beautiful and unique little soul. Thank you for caring for the animals. God Bless you and yours. Please stay safe.
Such a beautiful story. We are so lucky to have animals in our lives, regardless if they’re domesticated
I am sorry you lost Darling so soon in ‘their’ life. But it was truly a Wonderful Life… and you were there with the rose peddles 🌹 that made it all real . Bless you for taking care of wild birds and for being both compassionate and strong. Birds of Prey stare right through … but Darling saw you. Kindred Spirits.
The ending made me cry. Life really isn't fair at times....poor Darling and her grieving friends. ❤
It is a fairy tale. You are blessed! ❤
One winter I had a pair of crows visiting me every day, though they never were as trusting as Darling. The called me every morning, and they came to my balcony, but I could never touch them. In late spring they brought their only child as well. It often took naps on the balcony, or played with my plants or took away the things I left accidentally outside. The same year in early automn I heard one day all crows in the neighborhood making a lot of noise, and after that I never saw them again. I don't know, what happened. I hope, they went just somewhere else to live on.
I still miss them.
Oh I’m so so sorry 🙏🏻
Such a beautiful story but so sad to know just how much you are all missing Darling. Special relationships like that are one in a million so you were blessed for sure. ❤
That just broke my heart. What an awful thing to happen to her. What a beautiful little soul. Thanks for sharing, I'm sorry this happened to her and your gorgeous little family. 😘
I lived in Massachusetts and witnessed similar friendly communication and behavior from crows living in a pine tree stand across the street. Unbelievable how they tried to speak to us about their day.
Crows can talk better than most parrots❤
I am so glad you documented so much of the life of Darling and all the interactions with the family and pets! The looks on the faces of your cat and dog afterwards was a stunning picture of grief! What a great story, and I’ll probably never forget this one!
There are others but this one is super ❤❤❤❤
@@paulwilson3434 Absolutely, this is one of them I’ll always remember!
That's so sweet. They are so intelligent. How fortunate
What a beautiful interaction . Thank you for sharing.
