These are not my pets, but this video is irresistible, and this thread seemed like the best place to share it: Unlikely Friends

Wow. Unlikely friends indeed.

Absolutely astonishing! Thanks for posting, Margaret.

Interestingly, crows and others in the corvid family are noted for their intelligence - and sense of humour. Ravens have been seen on many occasions sliding down snowy children's slides - on their backs! Now there's no other reason to do that than to enjoy oneself....

Thanks for the link, Margaret. Wonderful way to start the day. Many researchers are disputing the insult of "bird-brain." It turns out that birds in general are intelligent and certain species highly so. But a bird that feeds a kitten? I didn't see that coming!

Added later: This must be the day for odd animal friends. Ran across this video about an elephant and dog on a friend's FB wall:

Wow - I knew corvids were intelligent, but I never heard this one!

And the elephant-dog friendship made me all misty-eyed.

That's amazing!

We have both dogs and cats and some people find it amazing that they get on well with each other. I often find them snuggled up together.

That's a great video, it's lovely to see something like that.

Crows do this too - last winter the youngster belonging to our two local crows starting sliding down a neighbour's snowy roof. It also had a penchant for hanging upside-down from a particular TV aerial...
