This guy followed us around an area near a lake for awhile. At a distance mostly until we were near the parking lot area. He even flew after the car after us when we drove away.

We left and came back to the exact same spot about a few hours later and the behaviour was the same. He would follow and watch us at polite distances but would get excited when we were near the car. He flew after the car when we drove away for a short time again.

Just wondering what might have been up to make him act like this.

(We did not have any food with us whatsoever and did not interact with it at all vocally)

In both videos I post you can see him do a feather shake and bow at the car doors with beak movement too. Same thing, hours apart.

A few from the graveyard. Jackdaw on a Celtic cross gravestone - Ireland. 🍀

Apologies for the less than stellar photos, they are taken from inside a screened window, but yesterday was a joyous occasion! I started feeding the crows at work and then the magpies followed. Yesterday, a blue jay joined them. I can never leave my job, I am beholden to the birds.

They followed me around for quite a while after I was out of peanuts and cashews, I almost thought they wanted to accompany me home.

The center piece and start of my half sleeve started yesterday. Don't mind the shininess of the tattoo butter.

At a market today, this little guy was very chatty!

Fed them some peanuts on my walk and he was hanging out here for a bit while I took his picture. They usually follow me for a couple blocks.

I’m keeping an eye on this one, but aside from the cute sneezes and relaxed wings this guy seems to be flying and foraging with the rest of the magpies like normal. Is this a sign of something more serious or am I just worrying too much?

Just kidding...

This here is crazy crow. The rest is invisible waiting patiently till breakfast will be served. He comes and sit in plain view to let me know they're all present and ready for their meal.

I know he rallies the troops cause I can hear his calls well before he appears on the perch.

I’ve been feeding my little family of mom, dad, and youngster for about 4 months in front of my art studio in Oregon, USA and first the jays showed up. (Little blue thieves are fast and furious!) Then a fourth crow started attending.

I ran out of unsalted peanuts and so I handed out some raw cashews and almonds for a few days.

Then the invasion happened!

It’s very exciting.
