From day one, Russell zeroed in on Otto. The crow would swoop down whenever the boy played outside, dropping pebbles at his feet. Every afternoon, Russell waited on the roof, car, or windowsill as Otto came home from preschool. Sometimes he even followed Otto indoors, hopping onto the couch or perching right on the boy. That bond was exclusive\u2014Russell trusted only Otto.<\/p>\n
