It all started last year in August, the family couldn’t find the little crow’s parents around, so they decided to raise the poor little bird and named him Russell. “Russell is a wild bird, and he doesn’t stay with the family all the time, but when Otto is outside, he is always with him,” says Laerke. “They have a special relationship,” she adds. And in fact, in all of the shared videos, we can see Russell follows 2-year-old Otto patiently no matter where the little kid goes or what he does. It’s important to mention here that crows are thought very social and smart according to the study. They remember things very well and know how to use tools (工具). Some scientists say that crows are as smart as a seven-year-old child. So, it’s not so surprising that Russell is so happy to be with Otto and is so connected to this loving family. Otto and Russell’s friendship shows that where there is care and attention, there’s true love and pure (纯粹的) joy. 48. Why did the family raise Russell?
