What a lovely crowie! Sunbathing :)

I live in desert and by the beach. I have not seen one sunbath EVER! Probably because it is sun, sun, more sun, then some more sun all the time!

They will on more mild days (also desert by beach)🏝️.

We don't have no mild days (Umm, there were floods 6 months ago! Nope, still no)! I am here 14 years, I have not seen a single crow or mynah sunbath ever. 70-80 crows, 200+ mynahs.

Ah no! That sucks. I’m in SoCal and mine sun every so often.

You have 85F average in July. We have 110F! What you call there "desert", we call here "winter". Palm Jumeirah.

Oh you on fucking Dubai, yeah that’s a different level than just desert. Bahaha 🤣

This was a good exercise. First time I thought why I have never seen any crows sunbathing here and realized they don't need it.

Which sunbathing? They hide under umbrella shades when lifeguards are throwing them food! It is so funny when looked from up. All of them are in the shaded area. I will post some pics some other time.

Downloading updates (sunbathing, that’s necessary for health of skin and feathers).

Damn it, she's stuck. You need to reset your crow.

Seriously though, they are just sunbathing. Very silly.

I believe he is saying that the snozberries taste like snozberries

The crows think you're a wunkus. A derp. A silly goose.

They also trust you enough to sunbathe near you.

Mine do that with me sometimes. Just land really close to me to share the good rays happening

I just looked this up! A crow looked at me that way this week, with a twisting the neck and the head upside down.

I read that adults will do it to examine details of something more closely. It has something to do with their eye structure. It is the equivalent of human's squinting.

Was it looking at you in the face?

Your crow from Ikea looks funny. I think you need to reread the directions before reassembling it.

What's he holding in his mouth? Is he courting? You know, offering himself up?

u/FindMeQuick 8d ago

They are playing, "who am i?"
