In the days of weasels riding woodpeckers and crows riding eagles, it seems inter-species hitchhiking is no longer as uncommon as it once was – but it's not often you hear of a parrot riding on a dog's back day in day out, as if it's the most normal thing in the world.

Now Cracker has a free ride AND her own personal crow-scarer, all rolled in to one.
