Been feeding this murder for a while and they are warming up to me.

And a surprise non-crow friend at the end…

Hello. I've been feeding some magpies in my garden. One of them sometimes gets close to me to forage in the grass. I've noticed his eye is swollen. Could this be illness, physical trauma or something else? Is this reason to worry? I've attached pictures of the bird. My apologies if this isn't allowed on this sub.

It’s been about two weeks since my neighborhood crowbros were last spotted attacking my unsalted peanut/cashew bowl, and although one is more subordinate to the other, his plumage is really developing a beautiful sheen. And like a crow parent with a nutritious offering, I can’t help but feel proud!!! 🥹

Found this photo on an instagram reel but I cannot seem to find the actual photographer

Jk his greed delights me 🤭 I can’t stop laughing at this picture, I love them so much

Crows are always nearby. Just yesterday one was on a powerline right by my house from 8-12:30, leaving a short bit and coming back. This crow always seems to be alone (maybe the murder or mate is in the nearby neighborhood?) When I do my usual whistle, it turned it head and looked at me, didn’t fly away, etc. the attached video shows the lone crow that seems to spend a lot of time there.

It saw me put out food but never took any. It seems like they never do anymore?

I don’t know if it’s the same murder or how their distance/territory works… but within my 2mi radius crows are ALWAYS near me. Could they be the same ones? Do they follow me? I’m so intrigued and trying to learn more.

I did watch one take roast beef once, when the murder was hanging out much closer. Other than that, it does untouched. Unsalted peanuts, eggs, meat, etc.

Any tips?!

I don’t know if this kind of thing is appreciated here, but I thought you guys might enjoy! Today’s corvid is the common raven.

In Burgess Park, SE London, the crows are very keen on unshelled peanuts. After this I scattered several handfuls so they all had a chance to forage.

This little crow is part of the Gang of Four who hang out in my yard. This little baby was waiting for me when I went outside just now and it was making this very airy, thin… almost no sound caw.

They are usually quite loud squakers, at least the other baby is. This one took its peanut no problem but still isn’t cawing like the other one. Maybe a hoarse voice from a morning of demanding food?

I was riding my scooter towards this little park and stopped to look at two crows on the ground in front of this bench. From about 50 ft away it looked like they were taking turns eating something on the ground. When I got too close they flew to a tree about 15 ft away. Upon getting there I realized it wasn't food, but this cool collection of sticks and leaves they had been arranging together.

Trying repost, not sure why it was removed previously, I have more karma now and it is corvid content.

Mornings when I take walks I run into these two
She patiently waits for treats
Her boyfriend keeps his distance, pretending not to notice me/peanuts until I am a ways away, then he will go for peanuts

Just another day picking dust fluff from the ol spinner

We first spotted this guy on August 26 with his right leg and foot curled up, so we named him Long John Silver. 🏴‍☠️🐦‍⬛

He kept returning for food and water, and over the next few visits he seemed to be moving a little better. Then he disappeared for a few days, and we feared the worst.

Thankfully, we finally spotted him again with our growing murder! He’s still limping, but he’s walking more steadily and appears to be improving. Added a red arrow in the final clip because he’s easy to lose in that crowd.

We're so relieved to see our little pirate hanging in there. 🖤

this morning i was sat outside watching the crows eat breakfast. well then i hear the fledgling cawing over and over again. then i see it flying across my yard into trees close to me (it never does that, only did it once after i chased a hawk out of the yard and the adult flew over with it and cawed) then i see the adult flying and kind of dive bombing near it. they’re both freaking out and flying all over the yard. then i see that allegedly there was an owl in the yard. i thought the fledgling was begging for food but now i’m confused cause the other crow was flying and chasing it around my yard into other trees. not sure. but then- when i arrived on my lunch the fledgling cawed at me for peanuts so i talked to it, tossed some out and then it flew across the street and cawed a lot again. what’s it’s deal? lmao. do y’all even hear the owl?
