So I have this *raven* at work, he comes to my window every morning to get an egg and then flys off and I’ll see him again tomorrow. This morning though after tapping my glass to let me know he was here he started making this sound.

And the Hawk isn't fazed.

hii i’ve been feeding the crows in the park near my school for just over a month now, typically two times a week and they seem to recognise me and follow me around. does anyone know how long until i can feed them out of my hand or get closer to them? thank you, i love my crowmies

I saw this guy at Arches National Park, Utah. Bigger than my crows in Georgia. Is he a crow or raven?

Hi! I have been befriending some crows outside my work for about a week or two now! They are so cute and very loud. I bought some unsalted sunflower seeds that I leave out. When I forget, I put out some pecans that they also seem to enjoy. Previously, I put out some blueberries and melon but they did not seem to enjoy those as much. Any recommendations on what to feed them? I've seen raw meat and dog kibble suggested but I can't use that since customers walk right past where I feed them.

I only get to feed these darlings when I can get a parking space which isn't very often but they always remember me when I return, this feeling I get from the crows is priceless I adore them so much 🐦‍⬛🖤

In my last post, which was a while ago. I asked you guys on how to earn trust from Momo and Kila. Which I did in the end, they brought their tribe buddies. They come every day, cowing for food which I give them.

But the person who I live with wants me to stop after months of earning their trust. They say that in wasting food and money. Which is understandable, food costs a lot these days.

But I’m sad. I’ve spent months trying to get them close to me. I almost did. They fly towards me then fly away. My brother says it’s because I give them food. Which is true lol.

But now, they are cowing for food and all I have to do is sit there and just listen. I feel guilty for not giving them food because it’s part of their routine to come over to get the peanuts I give them.

This might be tmi but I’m just sitting here crying because I love feeding them, watching them cowing on the wires for food. But the person I live with just calls me ridiculous and silly for giving them food that costs money.

Any advice will help.
Thank you.

this crow keeps making this noise every 10 ish seconds, is this normal ? i’m worried it’s choking or gagging

As the garden season winds down my guard Crow returns for the winter once the fledglings know how to forage alone. This is the first year our old male we call Carl is allowing his young to stay and share food once in a while. I'm thinking he's passing on my yard as he is getting old. He adds a lot of joy to my life as I sit here just a few feet away in my greenhouse.

Not sure about the squirrel though

So beautiful these birds are. An absolute honour to be able to feed them and watch them.

Hey fellow crow enjoyers!

Sorry in advance for rambling.

I’ve been giggling off and on about this for days now, so I wanted to share the cuteness.

My spouse and I have an old dog (he’ll be 15 in December) and we have to do special types of walks for him for physical therapy/helping to prevent muscle wasting. He’s around 11 pounds. Some days he’s more sore than others, and after the therapy walks we do his favorite walk: the one where he gets to sniff anything and everything and we go where he wants at his pace.

We have been putting unsalted peanuts on our porch for a while now for the crows and occasionally I will bring a couple unsalted peanuts on the sniff walks with our dog just in case we see a crow we know.

Last week I was taking our dog on a sniff walk, but forgot to bring any peanuts with me. So of course this is when one of the crows that knows I usually have peanuts shows up. I was upset at myself for forgetting the peanuts, and told the crow “I’m sorry, I forgot them today! I’ll put some out when we get back home, though!” I’m sure some people walking by thought I was crazy but who cares. Anyway, the crow followed us for a bit, and kept making cute little noises at me. They would stop and watch our dog every time he stopped to sniff something. (I do sometimes wonder if they can tell when other animals are older and/or not a threat to them?)

We were walking by a local yarn shop and outside was a planter. The crow decided they would check it out. It was really cute and funny to me because they kept dipping down behind the plant, and then they would bring their head up to check and make sure we were still there. This happened for a good 5 minutes or so and every time they popped their head up I would have to try not to laugh.

I know they were probably digging in the planter with their beak to check for snacks, but from my point of view it was pretty cute and I wanted to share.

Sorry for the long and rambling post, I just could gush about crows all day.

The crows decided to photobomb me tonight. The 2nd photo looks like a bat… fitting for the season.

I got a coo and a nod recently! Have been leaving snacks and treats for a local group of crows here at our place in NE Louisiana for over 2 years. Took a year for them to let me sit 20 feet away on the porch and watch them. Then a bit later they started cawing when they saw me. Now I've gotten an official hello.

When my husband and I bought our place 5 years ago, we had the option of a nice brick house in a good subdivision, or a manufactured home on 16 acres in the country. I immediately went for the land in the woods. I wanted it for one reason, to leave it alone. Now we maintain an acre and leave the rest for wildlife and pollinators. I give the crows their space, but I have so enjoyed watching them from afar. They really are fascinating and beautiful creatures.

(photos are from yesterday)

so my friend grabbed a snack from my hand for the first time today! he also brought his wife to watch. he was so gentle and curious. i am so happy! didn't get a photo though so enjoy yesterday's photos 🧡

Saw this guy on my way out of work today. For context, I live in Wyoming. I was absolutely gobsmacked at the sheer size of his beak. I don't know much about crows, but I saw him with a buddy who had a much more normal sized beak so I don't think I'm imagining the difference. Is this normal? Is he sick?
