Leaving – the video

Amy

This is the same capture as the previous post, entitled leaving, except for this is the video that I recorded. I realized later that the video is cooler than the photo. But may have been distracting with a little bit of poetry at the bottom.

Sound up for engine noise and also Jerome, who is the crow that does not like me. Now it’s his season and he’s going to follow and laugh at me when I walk, and basically make my life miserable because I told him he could not put his dried bagels in the birdbath two years ago. Crows have a long memory and hold grudges. Jerome has told his whole family to caw at me. I’m at the local pharmacy, he will show up over there and harass me in the parking lot. His name is Jerome, and you must say it in the way that Elaine said it on Seinfeld.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video.

    2. I do. Corvids hold grudges. They also bring shiny objects and money to other people who are friendly to them. But now what’s done is done, and Jerome and I are enemies.

      4. He’s had enough of me telling him he can’t put his dry, stale bagels into the birdbath that is a community birdbath, not his personal water dish. 🙄

      10. The other birds don’t like his dirty bagel water. *hands on hips* 🤨 They stay away if he does that stuff. How would you feel if you had to bathe or drink water with pieces of soggy stale bagel in it? Other birds don’t like crows hanging around because crows raid their nests and eat their eggs and live babies. They also eat dead carcasses. And stale bagels and stale french fries. Basically everything. I don’t want that in my birdbath. Jerome is banished! 🧙🏻‍♀️🪄

      11. And yet, you seem upset that my client, er…Jerome, is angry at you. With the amount of vitriol you have for him, I would think you wouldn’t care if he liked you or not.
        Why are you angry at him? Is it the birdbath, or did he steal your breakfast bagel one morning?? 🤨

      12. Your client knows I am mad at him because he doesn’t get that you can’t put food in public bathing and drinking areas. He thinks I am wrong for chastising him, but he is wrong for thinking that the birdbath his personal soup bowl. I also think he is acting very childish with this grudge. He could be giving me money and shiny objects, but no, he laughs at me and follows me around the neighborhood when I go for a walk.😑

      13. Now you accuse him of stalking. 🙄
        Clearly, there is a vendetta here. And are you sure he is laughing at you? In his accounting of events, he is trying to discuss the matter in a civilized fashion, and you rebuff his attempts constantly.
        He said you once went as far as threatening to get a restraining order against him. Don’t you think that’s a bit harsh for a small disagreement?

      14. No, I do not. And it is not a small disagreement. He should take some of that money that he steals, and buy himself a birdbath and put it in his own yard. Then he is free to do whatever he wishes with it. If he flies 3 miles to laugh at me from the parking lot of a pharmacy, he needs a restraining order. He not only told his family to laugh at me, he told his friends. I tried to have a civilized conversation with him and he persisted with this behavior. Your client is a menace. 😖

      15. My client is merely misunderstood, and I caution you to be wary of the words you use to describe him. You are dangerously close to slander, Miss.
        As the insinuation when one puts a birdbath out is that it is a public space, your sudden “no trespassing” rule seems a bit out of place. Do you have that posted anywhere?

        The fact that other friends and family members are exercising their right to free speech is hardly grounds to claim harassment.

      16. Excuse me, it’s not a public space. It’s my backyard. I own it. It’s trespassing! And littering! And stalking! Your client is precariously perched. 🤨

      17. You put up a birdbath with the intent for all to use and then get mad when others use it. If you do not have the rules posted, how do you expect my client, or anyone else to know? Mind reading, perhaps?
        Precarious. Yes, you should know that well, as it seems to be a common practice for you. 🙄

      18. Birds know the code. Jerome thinks he’s special, and he isn’t. It’s there for all to use, but not for all to put in their dirty, stale bagels and nasty french fries from the McDonald’s parking lot. That breeds bacteria and Jerome has caused a public health crisis. A public health crisis supersedes anything that you may say on behalf of your client. 🤨

      19. Do you have tests of the water to prove this alleged health crisis? Evidence of any kind? Or should we just take your good word?

        Not that I am saying you are not trustworthy, of course, but still…
        Also, in regards to your allegations of stalking and harassment, I would tread lightly. My client is very open and visible in public. He doesn’t sneak around in bushes at tennis tournaments or those kinds of things.

      20. No, I do not have tests of the water, considering this happened years ago. 🙄

        Your client is very open in regards to his stalking and harassment. Everyone can see him doing it, which is clearly in violation of the restraining order.

      21. Clearly, this falls outside the statute of limitations and this case should be dismissed.

        Your restraining order has a set distance, no? Can you prove Jerome violated that distance restriction?
        It’s not like the poor fellow can possibly know when you are going hat shopping and can plan his route.

      22. I have proof. I took a photo of him in the parking lot of the Pharmacy. He was within 10 feet of me. Hey, it’s not my fault if I’m shopping for shampoo and a hat ends up in my cart. It’s an accident.

      25. I suppose you can spot a guilty person, or bird, from a mile away just by looking at them?

        Thankfully, you are not in charge of the judicial system. 🙄
