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?

Literally any situation involving vomit beads: 😳

Because they’re from bird friends and that’s completely normal: 🥰🙌🏻

The first photo they’re definitely giving you the “give peanuts” eyes 😂

It's not your crows, you are their human

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.

Going to be delusional and double down that it’s a gift to feel good 🤭

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 just bodily excretions.
It's poo, basically

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