Description:

I noticed there were a few folks in here that loved all sorts of black birds. I also love crows, ravens and other types of corvadies. I figured the fall were perfect months to make just such a matchbox. Here’s your job, take one 32/40 count matchbox and decorate it with a black bird theme. (Not from the movie, comic book or actor.) Fill it with color related and tiny black bird items. You must have at least 2 black bird items included in the box. These could be charms, stickers, beads, ect. With Halloween right around the corner I think it will be much easier to find black birds. Give a heart for extras. I reserve the right to kick out questionable members but will allow newbies with full partner profile descriptions. Because this isn’t a very heavy swap I am making it international. Everyone will have plenty of time for this swap so enjoy and get busy! Happy Swapping!

PS. Just a note, there are actually ‘white’ ravens and crows. I’ve seen them and they are amazing. They are not albinos but a different breed of their own and worthy of looking into. Here’s a little article to start you out: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/crows/whitecrows.htm

I live on an island in the Gulf of Alaska, and have fed the crows during the winter for the past seven years. Some people here are very supersitious about 'my' crows but I love them and they know that. One of them got its head stuck between two fence slats one day, the others screamed until I came out to see what was going on. The stuck crow actually allowed me to put one hand under his head close to his beak and the other around his body to lift him up and out of this situation. Crow beaks are very big up close!!! It was amazing because he could have taken a chunk out of me at any time but knew I was trying to help, as did everyone else in the flock. They are absolutely amazing birds, intelligent, playful, very family oriented, the patriarch / matriarch of 'my' flock is a one-legged bird that has been around since the beginning, he/she is actually the reason I started feeding them, he looked hungry and kept calling to me when he saw me in the window. He knew a soft touch.

This is a great swap. Although since I live on an island, my matchbox may contain a crow feather and perhaps a few more 'found' items since those would be easier for me to come by. No crows will be harmed in the collecting of the feather, I have crow feathers all over my yard because of the dense (250 birds during the winter, 50 during the summer) flock that hangs out.

I think Crows are wonderful as well. I use to work for a tattoo parlor and little did I know the owner would feed the crows at the door every morning so the night after working late I woke up on the shop's couch to one tapping on the door. He was hungry!
