I?m sure you got it now, so the part of the bird is: shadow(s) (insert cricket chirr)

Nice one. Looking back, I can see your wordplay there. Neat little play on words.

Kirsty?s answer was close.

I?m loved when I?m small, and feared when I?m tall.
You can catch me, feel me, but don?t grab me.
You could say I?m alive but commonly deny me as life form. You know how to kill me and have no moral problems doing it.
I?m very important for human life style, but I?m fight every day.

900 contains one number too much (a 9 or a 0). But it?s bigger than 900.

Thought this one not to the end. The probably bigger challenge is to write it on a forum, and not in a usual text program.

Thanks, I also tried to bait you with friend of bird and your relationship with crows.

If I understand the question correctly, I believe it is 9 to the 9th power or 387420489.

R.E.S.T.E.C.P! Restecp Dr. Ali.
If fussy taken the definition of number is not 100% fitting to 9.
And of course the thing that is impossible to write x.
(I hope it looks correct on your screen)

The internet, and this forum, don?t forget easily.

I must have forgotten that I posted about the darned crows here.

If someone is still brooding about it, here are the remaining answers:

3. Grave
It?s an exception that you dig your own grave (not proverbial).
A coffin is not as limited in use as a grave, but to put a corpse in it would only be useful if you want the corpse back, or more common to transport it (witch would be a use). If you visit the grave you don?t use it.
If someone knows he uses it, something went terrible wrong.

4. Fire
I found the life aspect interesting:
it has a metabolism,
it creates a balance between intake and excreta to keep the flame stabile,
it response to stimuli,
the ability to change over a period of time in response to the environment (as embers, smolder),
it moves, it grows, it reproduces itself (over sparks),
and it dies.
