カラスの“高級”マイホーム作りに奈良のシカも迷惑顔です。　
The deer in Nara are annoyed by the crows' attempts to build a "luxury" home for themselves.
1羽のカラスがトコトコとシカに近付いてくると、突然お尻の辺りをつつき始めました。　
One crow came toddling up to the deer and suddenly began pecking around the buttocks.
よく見ると、ふかふかの白い毛を思いっきり、音をたてて引き抜いています。　
If you look closely, you can see that it is pulling out the fluffy white fur with all their might and with a lot of noise.
シカは毎年、春先になると冬毛が抜け落ちます。　
Deer will shed their feathers in winter in early spring every year.
カラスはその暖かい毛を頂いて“高級マイホーム”を作ろうとしているわけなのですが、それにしても“遠慮”というものが全くありません。　
The crow is trying to build a "luxury home" with the warm fur of the deer, but it doesn’t know what "restraint" is.
シカの顔色をうかがって「もっと頂いても大丈夫そうだな」と踏んだようです。
It even stepped on the deer's face and said "it's okay to give a little more".
そのしつこさにシカはついに逃げ出してしまいました。　
The deer finally ran away before the crow's persistence.
ひと仕事終えたカラスは“収穫”した毛の束をほぐし、くちばしいっぱいにくわえて飛び立つ…。
After completing the task, the crow collected the "harvested" bundle of feathers, filled its beak and flew away.
かと思いきや、何が不満だったのでしょうか、せっかく集めた毛を捨ててしまい、シカは“つつかれ損”となってしまいました。
But then, seemingly dissatisfied with something, it suddenly threw away the feathers it had picked up and walked away, and the deer "lost a whole piece of fur".
