Pilfer

To the merchant, it was nothing more than a few missing trinkets. To Tinybones, it was the greatest heist of all time.

“Pilfer” might sound like an old-fashioned word, but it packs a precise punch.

To pilfer is to steal—usually small things, quietly, almost unnoticed. Unlike grand heists or bold thefts, pilfering is the everyday, sneaky taking: a cookie from the office jar, a pen from a colleague’s desk, or even digital downloads without permission.

The word itself carries a lighter, almost mischievous tone. Pilfering isn’t about causing major loss; it’s about the sly, sometimes humorous act of pocketing something that isn’t yours. Yet, even small acts have consequences, reminding us that integrity matters in all sizes.

Next time you hear “pilfer,” think of it as a peek into human behavior: the temptation, the small compromises, and the quiet choices we make every day. It’s a tiny word with a big lesson: even small actions can add up.

♥️ When he sees you chasing 2 smaller birds he watches curiously, until one of the birds drops your phone it snatched that is.

♥️ He swoops down, hoping to scoop up the treasure himself but then you come over and you're in absolute awe of how big this crow is.

♥️ You start cooing and cawing at him, and clicking your tongue, and he immediately drops the phone, beak hanging open.

♥️ He had no idea these little humans had such a way with words! He's impressed that you'd give such sweet compliments and decides then and there to become your guardian.

💙 Like his brother he'll see you chasing the ravens and wait for the perfect moment to snatch that little trinket they're carrying.

💙 When he goes in for it though and you look at him with your mouth open and a sparkle in your eyes he hesitates on flying away.

💙 You start cawing and cooing and calling him a big pretty bird and, well, his ego is officially stroked. He puffs up with pride.

💙 Like his brother he vows to protect you and will bring you shiny things from time to time from his heists.

💜 He sees you chasing 2 ravens and instead of waiting like his brothers would he just dives straight in.

💜 He'll try to intimidate the smaller birds into dropping your phone but realizes he made a mistake when you're standing in front of him too.

💜 When you gasp and start cooing and cawing, his spark melts. You really think that? Oh wow! He practically blushes on the spot!
