One day while cleaning and arranging outside on their deck, Dana Bryce and his fiancee heard several crows raising a disturbance nearby. When they went to investigate, they found a little baby crow laying on the ground.
The baby crow was clearly too young to be on his own and also seemed to be struggling. The couple ran through their options and decided that the best thing to do was to take him in, nurse him back to health and then release him into the wild again.
“We kept him warm in a bin with some newspaper and grass with water and fed him every half hour,” Bryce told The Dodo.
They gave him the name Oscar and gave him care up till he recovered his health. He recovered rather soon and seems prepared to go back into the wild. The couple felt secure in releasing him because his mother and siblings were still close by. Even though they were sorry to see him depart, they were consoled by the knowledge that he was returning to his family and entertained the hope that they may sometimes get a glimpse of him soaring.
That request was granted a day and a half later.

The couple was out on the deck again when Oscar suddenly came flying down from the trees, yelling away, so excited to see his rescuers again. He hopped around and cuddled with them, as if he was thanking them for saving his life.
Now, Oscar stops by to see his rescue family almost every day. He may live in the wild, but they’re his second home, and he loves being able to fly over and say hi whenever he wants.
“He stays on the deck and in the trees and visits all day long,” Bryce said. “He likes to hop around and land on us and goes for walks when we go with our daughter. He’s very assertive and vocal. He’s curious and likes to come in the house and hang out on the window sills.”
Oscar has even become friends with the family cat and likes hanging out with her just as much as his rescue parents.
“He’s very friendly with our cat, as she is with him,” Bryce said. “He landed on her outside once, and she just lays down and doesn’t mind at all!”
@danabryce Lola and Oscar have been close since he was a baby ❤️👍🏼#angel #cat #Lola #Oscar #pet #save #animals #fyp #foryoupage #foryou #xyzbca ♬ original sound – Dana Bryce
Bryce and his fiancée saved Oscar’s life, and it’s very clear that he’s never going to forget that.
