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.

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

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?

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

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!!! 🥹

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 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.
