A crow hand-reared by a couple believes he’s a rabbit—hopping around their hutch and eating their food—after being adopted by their five bunnies.
The crow was rescued by Andrew Silverwood in England after he was found in the middle of a busy road with a broken leg when he was around two weeks old.
The 57-year-old and his wife Suzanne brought him into their home in West Yorkshire. Now he’s staying in the hutch with their rabbits.
His recovery with the family was meant to be temporary but they’ve decided to let him stay and named him Jake.
Adorable videos the couple shares on TikTok show Jake cuddling with the rabbits and hopping around with them.
“The rabbits have accepted Jake as one of their own,” said Andrew. “He really does think he’s a rabbit.”
“Jake has taken on the characteristics of the rabbits, and he is so funny when he hops around with them.”

“He also squawks to them, like a chick would do to their mum. We know when he wants feeding when he lets out a really big squawk.”
Jake was found by a passerby after he had fallen out of the nest and had no way of getting back up to his mum and dad in the trees. The passerby then posted on a local Facebook group that they had found him and Andrew decided he would go and rescue him.
They never kept him in a cage. He had the option to fly away but he just stayed.
“We have had so many people coming around to see him, everybody loves him.”

Jake has settled nicely into Andrew’s family home, feeding and hanging around with the rabbits he believes are his parents.
Andrew, who owns a dairy business, said: “When we first rescued him, we kept hand feeding him.
“He then kept going to the hutch every time he wanted food and we realized it was because he thinks the rabbits are his parents.
