Collie and Crow Make Perfect Playmates

A friendship has blossomed between the unlikely pair of a border collie and a rescued crow, with the latter bringing a touch of Edgar Allen Poe to a home in Portland, as it comes tapping and rapping at the door for its pal to come out and play. https://www.tiktok.com/@lunchwiththeladies/video/7543102031075085599 Footage from Tedd Simmons, who runs the TikTok page @lunchwiththeladies, shows the crow, which he's named Russell, calling at the door for Meeko, the border collie. As soon as Meeko is let out, the pair begin racing about the yard together. 'We rescued a crow that had been abandoned by its parents in June. Our border collie is used to growing up with chickens, so they became fast friends,' Simmons told Storyful. 'Russell now taps on our doors to get Meeko's attention. Meeko then whines to go outside, and then they chase each other.' 'Tap, tap, tap all day until I let them fly/run it out,' the video caption read on TikTok.
