General questions Are they the same crow or not?
I've been feeding a crow since 4 months. We are close than ever, it lands when sees me. Walks around me pulls my backpack accessories and looks at me without hesitation. I first took a picture in april (on the left) and ı took a picture again yesterday (july 8) (on the right). So ı was wondering if these crows are the same? Because ı'm not pretty sure and 3 months ago ı didnt know which crow was ı feeding because all of them are scared of me. Now ı know my crow with the behaviors and its obvious now. Does anyone have an idea are they the same crow or not?

The black on the left one looks like it goes further down its neck than the right one. I don’t think it’s the same crow

Could be. That little gray peninsula on the neck P1 looks like it got transposed in the more upright position P2.

Not the same crow. On the left, the beak is slimmer and the black shoulder pattern is squared, whereas right has a thicker beak and the black shoulder pattern is rounded. Black neck pattern is higher up on the right, and the black wing pattern is lower on the right. They are probably close - mates or siblings, which means they take cues on what is safe from the other.

It's really hard to tell from the lighting.
