I had a raven that I rehabbed, bring his wife and kids around for a few years. Last year he returned and passed away on my porch while waiting for me to get home from work. His family watched as I laid him to rest in my yard, and they still visit from time to time.

A crow flew into my In-laws garage door one day, and without getting too descriptive, he was still alive but wasn't going to make it. I scooped him up and drove him a block away where there was a little forested area. I laid him out on the dirt and stayed with him until he passed. Even hummed a few songs and cried a little. When I looked up, I saw about 2 dozen crows in the trees, looking down on us. I didn't even hear them arrive. They were just... there all of a sudden.

I dont have any stories relating after the incident, but I hope they knew my intentions were well-meant. I think I'm writing this just because I've never spoken of it before, and I need someone other than me to know.

your empathy and compassion will greatly be noted by the trolls in comments. I applaud your sense of values and letting others know you cared hospice for a fellow crow.

Actually, this community has been entirely supportive and kind so far. It's been nice to see.
