The worlds oldest crow died yesterday. Tata's life began in 1947 when he was ejected from the nest during a violent thunderstorm and ended up in a Long Island Cemetery. The baby crow was given to a local family who tended it for over half a century. Tata never flew again but lived among us- these earth bound humans, in joy.
