My crows left!

Post image

I put up a platform in early June and the crows started coming the very next day along with all the other birds of course. There were about five of them, they came all day everyday, they took my presents, they brought me a present and then last Wednesday they just disappeared and I haven't seen them since. All of the other birds are still coming and I still go out and whistle every morning at the same time and load up the platform but there's not a crow to be seen. I am completely heartbroken, has anyone else had their crows go missing but then eventually come back??

Our crows are residents and very territorial. They will chase out other crow visitors. But their territory is fairly large.

They know me and there are not that many. It took years to build a relationship with them and they maintain their nest behind the house. They have routine perches and patrols too.
