COMMUNITY Crow takes residence at YVR

It’s been a while since anyone has heard from Canuck the Crow, but there might be a new celebrity corvid in town

A Twitter account called @crowYVR has been documenting the shenanigans of a crow named Moira who decided to move into YVR much like Tom Hanks in The Terminal

“I live in YVR and I want your food. I’ll poop where I please,” reads its bio

The crow was named after Moira Rose, a character from the popular CBC sitcom Schitt’s Creek who starred in an “ apocalyptic fantasy about mutant crows ” (Yes, it’s a parody of Hitchcock’s The Birds )

In a statement to the Richmond News on behalf of Moira, Twitter user @crowYVR said she is “relieved” to tell her story and “finally get (her) Prince Harry moment of clarity with the public ”

According to the statement, Moira moved into the airport about a week before Christ- mas in 2022, and she has since been showing off her soaring and swooping skills by touring the terminals and stealing food from unsuspecting travellers While she expects to be kicked out, the airport has yet to do so

The crow can often be seen perched on top of totem poles in the Domestic Departures area, which have now been covered in plastic wrap as protection against Moira ’ s poop A sign has also been set up for travellers

“This piece of art has recently become the chosen roost for a different type of aviator a crow who has made its way into the Domestic Departures area, ” reads the sign, which also includes a warning to refrain from feeding the crow

A spokesperson from YVR confirmed that because the airport is the largest building in the province with “hundreds of doors and windows,” wildlife does make its way into the terminal “from time to time ”

According to @crowYVR, the Twitter account was set up to show off Moira’s new life to “old pals” and “tweeting is in (a bird’s) DNA ”
