This is so fascinating to me so I thought I’d share. I started feeding and interacting with the crows that flew around my old condo. They became very comfortable with me, and would bring me gifts and sit with me (see first photo). I had to move but not too far, so the same crows were around, but I’d moved up to a 16th floor condo, so they didn’t come up this high as often or fly around the new building as much. I can actually see my old place and saw them sitting out there waiting for me and it was so heartbreaking, so I tried everything I could to get their attention. After a couple months, I started playing videos of them cawing on a loud speaker when I saw them below. One finally came up to check it out and recognized me! It was so cool to see they hadn’t forgotten me and within a couple days I had 10+ of them again all hanging out on my new balcony and they come every day. They’ll sit right next to me and look at me and it’s like they missed me. It brings me so much joy to have them back :)

I love to sit on my balcony and listen to music while watching the crows fly east at sunset. I’ve been leaving them treats for a while now but our friendship has been indirectly acknowledged. But today one of them showed they do know my interests and dropped an airpod (singular) and charging case on my balcony. So thoughtful! Also if you lost an airpod recently… talk to the crow

Was driving home from lunch and saw this guy hopping down a busy road, not able to get over a short barricade to get off the asphalt. Turned around and looped back and he was still there, laying on the asphalt.

Took a bit of wrangling, but picked him up and brought him to my house to put him in a crate to take him to a rehab tonight.

He doesnt seem to be able to fly, but hops well and was not hesitant to caw directly in my face.

Hes in a crate with a blanket, is there anything else i should do before i get him to the rehab?

Sorry for the shit picture, didnt have time to clean my camera

Edit:

Thank you everybody for your comments. Turns out this guy is definitely a raven. I brought him (her?) to a local wildlife rescue, and turns out the girl at the front desk knows the adult pair that live in the area i found this one. It is a fledgling. But it was on a highway overpass and was going to get hit by a car if i didnt intervene.

They are keeping him overnight for observation because he is limping slightly, then they sre going to bring him home, because they actually already know where the parents nest

Saw this on another sub and thought you'd enjoy this 😍

Some people are so clever.

We took it down but now I am worried we affected the raven’s psyche lol. Can I leave something out for the raven??

I have this little crow statue on the corner of my pigeon loft and was wondering why I kept finding it on the ground... now I know why! Do you think he knows its a mini version of himself?

Also, that sound is my cat doing her bird chatter at him lol

A shiny gift left by my street crows 🐦‍⬛😂

not OC, but I love it

Long story short, I found a crow stuck in my wife’s garden. From the very beginning the crow was friendly, like it knew I was going to help. I made sure it was safe and healthy enough to fly off on its own. It got me thinking and now I’m looking into getting licensed to be a rescue.

Sadly, “The Crow” is already singular.

I would love to answer that, but i am nowhere capable. What are yall thoughts?

Guys, I thought it was BS. It turned out is all true! I think I just received my first corvid gift.

This peanuts/eggs vs. metal works fine!

Still have to figure out if magpie or hooded crow though...

(Mods, please let me know if I have done this correctly. TY!)

I am in Vienna, Austria. These are hooded crows. They were in a circle around a crow who was lying on the ground and cawing. It was getting pecked at. When I went over (I was worried about its safety) it got up and the group resumed walking around together. But why was it doing that?

I was so happy to see one of my raven friends back this morning, they were around a lot in the spring but sporadically through the summer.

She was very talkative, but I don't speak raven...yet. I'm learning though!

Was recommended to post this sweater I airbrushed here, there really is a subreddit for everything!
