万物有灵！乌鸦和小男孩成了“好哥们”

Millions of hearts were melted when Lærke Luna shared on the Internet this truly special relationship between her 2-year-old son, Otto, and a wild crow named Russell. We’ve all heard stories of kids becoming friends for life with a pet of theirs, but surely no one has heard of that pet being a crow (乌鸦)!

It all started last year in August when the woman shared on her social media that she had brought home a little crow. With his parents nowhere to be seen, the family decided to keep the poor little bird and named him Russell Crow.

“Russell is a wild bird, he’s not around all the time, but when Otto is outside, he’ll never leave Otto’s side,” says Lærke. “They have a special bond (关系),” she adds. And indeed, in all of the shared videos, we can see how 2-year-old Otto is patiently followed by Russell no matter where the little kid goes or what he does.

It’s important to mention here that crows are considered very social; they have very good memories and can use tools. Some scientists compare the intelligence (智力) of the crow even to a seven-year-old human child’s. So, it’s not so surprising that Russell is so happy to be with Otto and is so attached to this loving family.

Otto and Russell’s friendship showed that where there is care and attention, there’s true love and pure (纯粹的) joy.
