Merlin the Rook ~±~ Merlins Webpage

Merlin wishes to say Merry Christams and a very Happy new Year to all his friends.

GRAAKKK!!!!!

I would just like to wish all you Corvid lovers out there a Merry Christmas and enjoyable New Year, I hope you all have a lovely time!

Well, things have been a bit up and down here at the Mad House since I last chatted to you all.

One of the human chicks flew the nest which meant that life became much quieter, a big improvement from a birds point of view I can tell you!!! but he came bak for the weekend so peace was shattered. It was quite nice to se...

This is an unidentified rook/crow thingy I saw this week at lynnsport, kings lynn.

I've seen it there before but I didnt have the camera on me,

These photo's are truly terrible, but the zoom on the camera tends to make things look blurry and I couldnt get any closer......

It looks a bit like the shape of a rook, it definitely hasnt got a sear (yet?) it has a black body and white wings!!

It's really pretty, It's definitely a crow or rook of some type because it is nothi...

Hello all,

I thought it was time I gave you all an update on my life in the madhouse.

I've been given a HUGE new cage and loads of new toys, great fun I say!! I think my person might be a bit dim as several of these toys are definately meant for parrots not crows, still beggars can't be choosers and she seems not to understand 'rook' language very well. One of my favourite toys is one my p...

We spotted the Poet the other day!

We're pretty definite it was him, some jackdaws and rooks were visiting the rookery and mum saw a little jackdaw trying to get near the house to say hello, merlin was chasing him off, but he was so persistent we are sure it was him.

This is good to know that he wants to visit us and that he seems to be OK, hope he has better luck next time he comes back!!!

Hi, just thought I'd let you know how my first week living with humans has been.

What a culture shock!!!!!! Humans are noisy, busy creatures, they never seem to stop flapping about!!

Living here was quite stressful and scary at first but it's not so bad now that I'm getting used to it. My human has put some flower remedies in my water dish and they really seem to help.

I have a nice place in the house where I can look out the window and...

Our dear little Jackdaw has left us, we believe to become a wild bird.

He has always been an independant little bird spending most of his time outdoors, and only interacting with one human being.

He tried hard to be friends with Merlin to no avail!

In the last few weeks, rooks have been visiting the poplar trees more often, sometimes with jackdaws as well.

One day, a wild jackdaw flew over from the Rookery and flew around the garden with Merlin & Poet.

After ...

Well, Merlins feathers have grown properly this year and he is flying all over the place!

Poet is settling in very well and they are getting on better all the time, sometimes they fly around together, I will try to get some video of them together up here.

Merlin still gives Poet a hard time if he gets too close but Poet is getting better at putting up with it.

No real talking has developed as yet, Poet just says ciao! and Merlin seems to prefer "Ararat", which he says all th...

Esme has flown off, so I doubt that the Hag will be blogging about her here now!

We hope she's ok, The Hag said that she has met up with some other rooks, about four or five and they are somewhere in the area! It seems like they are all new friends and they are getting on!

Oh well, we can only hope we see her again and that she is happy in whatever she is getting up to!

Josh.
