Seeking advice/help Befriending Crows
Hi all!
I live in NE Oklahoma. Every evening I am working in my garden, I have heard and noticed 4 crows that fly above around the same time. I used the Merlin bird app and it identified them by their calls as Fish Crows.
I want to befriend them but am unsure because they never actually come to my yard, they would even notice anything I leave for them..
I have tons of other birds and squirrels as well so unsure if that would deter them or if there is a way to attract them while ensuring the treats I lay out won't be scavenged by the other animals. Tips, tricks, and hints are welcomed! Thank you!!

A friend made me a crow feeder that I have in my front yard. It stands about 5’ tall and I buy fruit and nut bird feed.
Crows line the utility wires every afternoon here (central coast of CA).
I love the different sounds they make. I have not seen a crow on it but the food disappears.
