Crow at the Post Office

❤️I went to the post office 📬last week and there was a large crow eating something (like spilled fries) in a parking spot. This was a pretty prime parking spot, but I noticed the bird eating so I went around & parked in a different row. A minute later, as I was about to get out of my car, some guy had pulled into the initial spot and the crow was sort of glaring at him from the top of the car next to it. I looked at the crow in total understanding, mentally sending a feeling of “I get it-sorry someone rudely interrupted your lunch!”) I’m not sure if the guy even noticed the crow or if he was absentmindedly going about his errands, possibly texting & driving. These are things that give me pause in my daily life, because I see how easily humans assume our needs come first, whether by conscious choice or by not thinking about it/not noticing other species and their needs. I would love to hear thoughts on this? How do we transcend the perceived species hierarchy? I believe we do it with love, and often our companion animals are the catalyst because they teach us with their unconditional love that opens our hearts to them & in turn can lead to opening our hearts to all species.
