This thread brings to mind the land of faerie, that perilous realm. How we can marvel at nature and all its critters as all deeply imbued with signs of His handiwork.

I am wary of willow trees, esp very old ones. ;)

I am far too credulous. That is one of my weaknesses. It is like I do not want to believe that people would tell lies (or be in error because of sin). I am not as wise as a serpent. I laugh when people talk about pee. You all know why . . . don't you?

The Lord of the Rings is truly a masterpiece. "The Ring, the Ring, My Conscience for the Ring." = [(Richard III) + (Richard II) + (The Lord of the Rings)] / 3

Is that right? I am just musing. Telling jokes. When I was in kindergarten my teacher told me I was "a math magician".

A most interesting thread. As long as we're telling animal stories, I have one to offer, though it's not quite in the same vein as the O.P.

My husband likes to feed the crows that inhabit our neighborhood. I'm not a fan of crows, since they seem to keep other birds away. I call them his "crow buddies."
The crows will sometimes caw in the morning (a most unpleasant sound) in hopes that my husband will give them something - usually food that's stale, like old bread, crackers, etc. Well, about six weeks ago, a crow dropped something on the ground, which fell right next to where my husband was standing in the backyard. It was a cherry, and it was unblemished. My husband got the impression that the crow gave him a little gift, as payback for the food that he gives them. Maybe that's not what it was. But then crows are quite intelligent.

I've heard that crows actually do remember human faces, and I've heard many similar stories. So I wouldn't doubt it.

"Trouble follows you like crows...." ;) ;)

I have a general disdain for magpies. Far more irritating noiseboxes they are, no to mention another species that drives songbirds away. And molest people's cats. 

If a pair decide try to nest next year in the backwards trees, they will be terminated with extreme pride and prejudice.

Thankfully we do have lots of jackrabbits, who sleep on front lawns. We ponder on how early or late they start to change their coats, reflecting the upcoming season.
We had three very bigguns that hung around our yard last winter. I ended up naming them Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar. :D
