Hello. Tiff here.

Meet Edgar.



Edgar is the raven that we have been babysitting for some vacationing friends. He's quite the charachter.
He has an injured wing, so the can't fly, but he can hop like the dickens! He's waiting for a spot in a bird refuge, but in the meantime, he hangs out in the backyard. He goes in a pen at night, to keep him safe from cats, but in the daytime he plays with his magpie friend. We call her Lenore. They hop around the yard together and look for trouble. He's pretty cool, huh? Rose eyes his shiny tail feathers. I think she'd yank them out if we'd let her.

Rose sat up on her own for the first time yesterday! She's been so close for so long, and finally, she did it! This picture is her not really doing it, but it's close.
