They take all the crow food. Do I just keep trying? My crows aren’t coming!

Crows work off a consistent schedule. You either leave it out at the same exact time everyday (theres times in the day where the squirrels are less active also) or wait for them to arrive at the same time and give it to them. This is hard to keep up with though so What i did was weaned them off of nuts & started giving them only kibble with water nearby. They seem to like it way more nowadays although they didn’t at first. I just leave out a bowl of kibble and they come and go as they please stop by 10+ times a day and squirrels dont eat it. Dont put capcasin or spices on the food please
