I love crows! And I love the picture. Translating smetnjak (I presume) as dustbin is a strictly British translation. (Just so you know.) *Nobody* in America would call that a dustbin - though that doesn't mean you should change it.
For my part, when I first saw your translation, I thought of a dustpan - which made no sense. :-)
Draga Polona, sprehajam sem haikuji zadnjih dni, med mrazom in snegom in tvojimi pticjimi spremljevalci skozi parke in potepe, ki jih delas, da nam caras mraz in lepoto, ki skoci na plano tudi v tako nemogocem vremenu in celo ob smetnjaku z kriceco vrano.

Hi Polona,

makes me cold, just looking at it...
...helping one's self.
With just a beak dipped
I wonder if its looking for food, Polona
the other sits so 'cool' :)

it must be something interesting inside dustbin...I think that also second one is going to look in :)
amazing - their survival!
Probably looking or an old mitten to line his nest!
well caught

Kot vedno se tudi tukaj obtačkam.
Vsakič drugačna se piše tvoja zgodba skozi haiku.
Lepo mi bodi.
Nice work, Polona!
Margie:)
I feel the cold with you and the bird..excellent Polona
kako lepo... vidim, da "napreduješ" v razpoloženju. lepo... itak si umetnica haikuja in je obisk pri tebi eno samo božanje trenutka...
hvala ti. prav to potrebujem te dni.
curiosity might kill the cat, but it seems crows survives by it.
Ya gotta eat!
Love that photo...
Three cheers for winter, if it inspires poems and pictures as good as you've been giving us.
Oh, I shiver...
I like "dips" in line 2 and the sound of "...dips../..dustbin".
Best wishes,
Angelika
Draga Polona,
sprehajam sem haikuji zadnjih dni, med mrazom in snegom in tvojimi pticjimi spremljevalci skozi parke in potepe, ki jih delas, da nam caras mraz in lepoto, ki skoci na plano tudi v tako nemogocem vremenu in celo ob smetnjaku z kriceco vrano.
Bodi fajn.D
that another crow is waiting it's turn ?-) Or was it the first one?
survivors!
Is that the crow's way of warming up? :) You think of the most interesting haikus to compose!
Caught in the act! Well spotted. I guess they have to eat what they can find in that kind of weather.
