I’ve had too many strange incidents with wild animals of all types and it’s as if these different species sent out the message, just like your story. No joke, no “for the lulz”… they straight up informed the others that you are the guy who saves.

    • I believe they do communicate with other animals it's just humans don't understand how they can communicate to different species and mainly because as humans science is put above everything and we think we have everything all figured out when the animal kingdom is much more complex and been here way longer than us so to me the animal kingdom is way smarter than us they know how to balance each other perfectly without overwhelming the animal kingdom, it's humans that put the stress and imbalance on the animal kingdom by overhunting pollution and taking over their habitat.

We had a stray cat come into our lives the same year my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer as well and I feel like these animals are sent to help us navigate tough times. (Yes we still have the cat, hes currently looking out our window) 🧡

    • Yes animals can see spirits and communicate with them I'm a medium and my cat always warns me when something is gonna happen or if someone is around that shouldn't be my cat even can sense where portals have formed, I find it crazy some people still think the spirit real is fake they'd be surprised if they lived in my shoes for one day.

  • We have a raven guest whom we rescued. He was roughed up by a cat so we patched him up, watched him for a few weeks, then set him free. But he never went further than the backyard and decided to live on the deck for safety and companionship, so I made him a nice big nesting box and stuffed it with a blanket, old shirts, and most importantly a weatherproof warming pad, and that's where he sleeps. He can come and go as he pleases though, so he spends his time hunting and flying around, then comes back to turn in for the night. In the mornings we have breakfast on the deck, and he sits on me and enjoys his toast and fruit while telling me about what's been going on, plus he regularly needs to check on us when we're outside walking around.

    • Magpies, crows, ravens and jays ie corvids are extremely smart. From the net... "Scientists compare the intelligence of crows to that of a seven-year-old human child. Crows, ravens, and other corvids are the only non-primates that make tools. Crows are capable of abstract reasoning, complex problem-solving, and group decision-making." Not only do they understand complex properties like water displacement...will wait to use a token to receive more food instead of using the token to get less yet immediate food but a recent study showed they exhibit altruism when scientist, attempting to track magpies, witnessed other magpie flock members removing trackers off the bird being tracked. There's also a fascinating video where a mother and daughter, who feed local crows, were given many shiny items from the crows as repayment/gifts...the daughter's collection of gifts is very interesting indeed...i guess the birds believe we favor shiny objects. lol

    • @@Tao_Tology Poor crows are getting hit by the H5N1 bird flu that's plowing through the US...the world. It's mostly water fowl, chickens and turkeys (in cramped factory farming conditions, surprise surprise) and birds of prey. Not sure how crows got roped in. It's sad about all of them -- TENS of MILLIONS(!) of chickens and turkeys have been preemtively euthanized by a method called "ventilation shutdown." Look it up (and then give up meat!), it's not pretty. It doesn't appear to affect songbirds, and is said to be way less transmissible to humans than other bird flus, which is good. Still, such a heartbreak of a disaster. Killing birds that we made so we could eat them. Killing them because while they were alive, we kept them in such crowded, unhealthy filth that the virus was able to spread like wildfire and become superaggressive.
