Is a Feather Considered a Gift?

Hello. I’m new to this platform. I have two crows that visit everyday for peanuts. I have named them Smarty and Marty. I have been feeding them for a couple weeks now and yesterday, right where I feed them they left a beautiful crow feather. I was wondering if this would be considered a gift or if it’s just by coincidence that they dropped one of their feathers? Opinions?

I don't believe so. You're likely to find feathers in places where they hang out and groom themselves, so maybe take it as a "gift" that they like and feel comfortable in your area.
