00:00They could spend hours just playing.

00:04When I pick up Otto from kindergarten, he will sit on our roof

00:08and make sure that Otto is home.

00:15They have a special barn.

00:18When we go inside, he will sit outside the window

00:22because he wants Otto to go outside with him.

00:25If we open up our window, he will go and sit on the couch

00:31watching TV with Otto.

00:38Even though Russell and Otto are really great friends,

00:41I never leave them unsupervised.

00:46Russell is a wild bird. He's not around all the time.

00:49But when Otto is outside, he will never leave Otto's side.

00:55Before Russell, I didn't know that crows could be affectionate.

01:04My boyfriend was out working and this little crow came up to him.

01:10He was really thin.

01:12We tried to call a wildlife rehabilitator,

01:15but there wasn't any nearby who was able to take him in.

01:18So he decided to take him home, nurse him back to health.

01:21Once we nursed Russell back to health and he could fly wherever he wanted,

01:27he still decided to stay near our house and he visits us every day.

01:33Russell is a big part of our family now.

01:38Living with Russell Meester is never a dull moment in our life.

01:44He allows us to interact with nature in a way that most people are not able to.

01:51We're his flock.

01:53He wants us to interact with many more.

01:59Imagine his girlfriend now...
