Today, a crow somehow got stuck in my ceiling. It's been making tons of noise for 9 hours now, including crowing very loudly. I live in a one-bedroom apartment, I have no access to the attic and the property owner doesn't give a shit. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned the valuable lesson that taking care of a baby crow isn't the best idea. He finally can fly away, but sits on my porch all day cawing for food. FML
Today, the bird that has been stuck in my roof for two days, keeping me awake at night, finally flew out of the roof and into the house. As I was opening the door to send it outside, it flew straight back up into the roof. FML
Today, my neighbors in the apartment above me yet again had a loud fight, well past midnight while I was trying to sleep. I stood on my bed and pounded on the ceiling to shut them up. And now I'll have to explain the two fist-shaped holes in the ceiling to my landlord. FML
Today, I moved into my brand new apartment, only to discover that there is an annoying, constant hum coming from the ceiling above my bed. FML
Today, I was woken up by a bird screaming its guts out. My cat had somehow managed to catch a bird and bring it inside. My 9 a.m. morning began with trying to catch a bird in my own home. FML
Today, it's 1 a.m. and once again a freaking bird has flew into my house from the attic. My cats are of course all crazy right now as it sits in my room, in a high corner beyond reach. My children are sleeping and I have no way to let it outside from where it is right now. Oh and it's freezing outside. FML
Today, I'm now convinced that a series of forlorn, increasingly panicked-sounding little bird-calls are coming from the vents in my apartment. Between my social anxiety and the lockdown, I can see no way to get help. FML
Today, I've been awake since 3 a.m. Why? A bat flew into the house and made its way to my bedroom. We haven't been able to find it. FML
Today, less than a day after my cranky downstairs neighbor passed away, I woke up to banging sounds against his apartment ceiling, like the ones he used to make whenever I walked around during the night. I'm shitting myself in fear. FML
Today, I spent twenty minutes trying to shoo a bird out of my apartment. After finally getting it outside, I closed the window, turned around, and realized I'd locked myself out instead. The bird flew away. I didn't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Can't you call the cops and blame the owner of your apartment for animal abuse?

Why has it taken 9 hours of it before you've called animal control or something? I feel like that's a long time to deal with obnoxious crowing

pretty sure that the property owner not caring about something being clearly wrong with said property is a civil suit

I guess you could always make access to the attic if the owner doesn't care that much

Crows (or any bird or for that matter pest), can be a disease hazard and possibly lead to fines or other infractions on the property owner. Maybe, I dont know the specifics in your area. But it could be true and the landownder should care more if it would hurt his bottom line. Better a guy with a broom today then Pestcontrol and Newspapers tomorrow.

Crowing is not a verb or even an actual word. What a crow actually does is caw.

He should care - it will die if he doesn't do anything and will also stink the house out and be really unhygienic.

I feel really bad for the crow, tbh.

It'll die in a couple days don't worry op...but then you'll have to deal with an ungodly smell.
