House Crows

Black and grey creatures,

Camouflage themselves in the shadows,

Can’t be seen in the nights,

Making loud noises,

During the day or night,

Pecking all cats who enter their territory,

Flying and making many nests,

Living next to ours,

Finding food in our territory,

Finding shiny stuff to decorate their nests,

It has enemies in all shapes and sizes,

If we disturb them, they might consider us enemies,

Even if we don’t, they still will peck mercilessly,

Making loud noises if we enter their territories,

Never wanting to stop.
