Tell me something good...

My sense of smell is slowly returning after a bout of COVID. Unfortunately, that means I’m beginning to be able to smell my beloved, elderly cat’s necrotic lingual cancer. It nearly knocks your head off! 🤢
 
Also, I love the raven in the next village over. He's scruffy and filthy and he doesn't give a fiddlestick.
I have three generations of crows that I feed peanuts to. They bring the new babies to me every year to meet the peanut guy. I can nearly pet one of the grandparents now. They follow me and touch my head with wingtips as they swoop by. They never caw at me. Sometimes there are 15 or more swirling around me in the parking lot at work.
 
A friend of mine is 72 years old. He told me that 2 months ago, he found out when he did outside crescent kick, his hand could not touch his foot. He spent 2 months in stretching every day. Finally, his hand could touch his foot when he did outside crescent kick.

I respect his effort. But I just wonder, can he maintain his flexibility when he is 82?

I can’t seem to get that far. They caw when they see me putting out food but won’t come anywhere near me.
 
Don’t look straight at them. Use peanuts. Ignore them completely but toss peanuts into the air one at a time as you walk when you know they are watching.

Feed at the same time, in the same area every time. Consistently wear a recognizable article of clothing when feeding. Say a thing, or call to them as you feed . Don’t offer a free for all. It’s one at a time, same time, same place, every day. There will be one that is more bold than the others. You can recognize certain ones by their behavior. Build on that trust with the first one that gets real close. It’s generational so they tell each other about you, It can take a while to build a reputation, but it will build momentum over time.
