An Ode To Twitter's Best Crow Parody Account

The laconic @streetcrow has decided to stop tweeting as a bird. He will be missed.

If you weren't following Streetcrow, you were missing out on one of Twitter's simplest and most satisfying Twitter accounts. Whether tearing the flesh from tiny rodents or preening followers, he tweeted with grace and nobility.

Mostly he just let us know what he was up to.
