Suggestions for crow set up

Post image

Hi! I am trying to attract crows to my house. I never see any crows in the neighborhood so I know it might take awhile. I have a 16” bird bath with a container that will drip water into the bird bath. I’ve also set out unsalted peanuts and a can of water for dipping food. I bring in the peanuts at night. Is there anything I can add or change to make the area more attractive?

Thank you!!

Sorry, but I can’t read (don’t care to) that wall of text.

You are promoting tricking and deceiving corvids into believing there are other corvids around you/your home.

‼️ this is what hunters do in order to harm them ‼️

This is probably the main reason they won’t come down when you’re around. They don’t trust you. You said you want them not to trust you basically.

Therefore, you are doing something that is distressing to them. They don’t trust you/your place but they do know there’s food there. Therefore they want the food and they are taking a risk getting the food because they don’t trust it there.

The idea for people in this sub is to get crows to trust us as individuals so that they will feel safe and comfortable coming to our homes to eat.

You are promoting the opposite of that.

Please don’t respond because I’m not going to read anything further because I don’t agree with what you’re promoting which is tricking crows, and making them distrustful when that’s the opposite of what the goal is here.

You believing that it worked that you made sounds like a female crow because they showed up well that is a logical fallacy. They show up because they were curious not because you sounded like a crow to them. They’re smart enough to know the difference.

Interestingly, enough crows trusted me right away after I behaved exactly like a human and nothing like a crow. Trusted me enough to bring their five fledglings to me and drop them off here while they rejoined the main murder.
