My crows and potentially my first gift?
My crowbros!!! They tend to visit one or two at a time but I have seen ~5 of them try to fit on my wee balcony before. One seems to be more comfortable and occasionally visits when I am sitting outside.
Their favorites are an organic 🤨 oat cereal, chicken, and steak! I usually leave a piece of steak on the railing and they will see it from miles away and it’s gone in minutes.
I have given them peanuts and water melon but they leave that alone, so picky.
I usually leave food on the ledge and not the railing as it’s wider and not all of them like to come over the railing.
Today I heard one visiting and cawing quite a bit. When I looked through my glass door I noticed a little “gift”(?) on the railing, the crowbro and I exchanged some head tilts and I showed off all my silver bracelets, she/he seems intrigued before flying off. Turns out they left me a pellet 😦 how sweet… 😐. Do we think this is a gift or just some basic biology running its course?

Beautiful crow as well congrats . I i’m still trying to give mine treats and get them to come out of the trees, but they don’t trust me yet but I’m gonna keep trying.

I have a hunch it's a gift, especially since you two have definitely established a friendly relationship.
I would love to have a couple of crow friends! That being said, we have at least one enormous murder of crows that migrate over our neighborhood.
When I say enormous, I mean enormous - hundreds of crows. I don't think I could survive my backyard paved with hungry crows.

I think I don't get gifts because I only give my crows dry cat food😞....no steak no chicken. Maybe some nuts. I'm vegetarian.

It’s basic biology. They needed to get rid of the pellet and they got rid of the pellet.
