Edwin the crow didn't know what Christmas was, but he did remember a special time during the cold season when the treats became more plentiful in the Walmart parking lot where he lived.
Some of the humans even went out their way to bring a little comfort to the birds in the parking lot. One day an older human brought all sorts of treats and several different species of birds crowded around.
Edwin was annoyed at all the pigeons that flew in. Crows and pigeons had been competing for space and food in the parking lot for as long as he could remember.
The pigeons greater numbers overwhelmed the smaller number of crows and Edwin sensed a fight coming. Just then something miraculous happened when Esther, the leader of the pigeons instructed her group to make an opening for the crows and other birds.
All of the birds had a great time chatting and eating. Tomorrow it would go back to the old rivalries, but for a few moments there was peace in the Walmart bird kingdom.
