Ah dammit you got me. Just don't tell the police okay? I got a bit drunk and painted five of these guys over the weekend and was hoping they'd breed to make more but apparently it doesnt work like that.....
Today I almost stepped on a batch of tiny baby grouse chicks. They must have hatched like 2 days ago they were so small and as they fled in terror of my Godzilla body they were barely staying on their feet just tumbling away frantically as mom called and hissed at me.
It took everything I had not to take a step and snatch up one of the slower ones. Such good camo too once they stopped peeping and running/rolling I couldn't see any of them. Had to tip toe out of there for fear I'd step on one.
You sure they aren't baby black chickens?

Thanks for that!
Black sheep
Here is how they actually look:
Brib.
Brub.
Very definitely
I saw a red-beaked crow the other day, super rare. A Cornish Chough theyre called.
(I have no photos of my own but they look like these majestic bastards:)
There’s a bunch of them hanging out near the lighthouse on the end of Anglesey recently.
South Stack in Holyhead? That's where I saw them too!
Glad they’re still there! They’re awesome.
vastly overshadowed by their penguin cousins though!
Are you sure it isn't just painted?
I see a black crow and I want it painted red
No colour anymore I want to see it fed

Yeah it's a shame, I tried painting my chickens hoping for colourful easter eggs but I was left disappointed.
Not a crow baby.
See the really big feet and the long beaks?
These are baby Rails:

“Corvids” is a good catch-all
Also includes Jackdaws and Jays.

Best day.
I looked, you did good pats head

C'est un poussin noir.
I need crow friends!
What's up? What's up? C'mon my friend and tell me what's up.
This is AI slop
Slop it may be, but it predates AI. I think it's pictures of a different bird (not a crow) mislabelled.
I've seen this picture reposted about since 2021ish. GenAI had yet to become... A thing.
