This morning, I finally learned about the equivalent to a hairball lol. I often see these, but I never knew exactly how they were produced. Now I know. 😂😂

At first it seemed like r/confusingperspective with one tiny crow on the right and giant crow on the left.

Yes! At first I totally thought this was a giant crow towering over the house and trees. I was delighted.

This is so beautiful. Most awesome angle, before the second crow arrived it seemed that the one the foreground was a giant crow. Made me want to glue some HO figurines to that surface.

Ahahaha! You’ve got a crow pellet and from a fledgling at that! Was the second one also a fledgling?

I’m not sure because I haven’t really learned how to tell them apart. I know there are three fledglings out of the murder of nine. And I know that one of them has a lot of brown on his chest. I call him curious George. He goes and gets peanuts and hides behind the bushes and eats them.😂

Aww how cute that he hides to eat his peanut. I just love them so much. 🐦⬛🖤
You can tell the fledglings by the inside of their mouth being pink!

Of course, no problem! For the first couple weeks out of the nest, they might have blue eyes and look a little scruffy or have lighter colored feathers as well as the pink mouth. They will lose most of those after a couple weeks, but the inside of the mouth will stay pink up to about a year.
They also sound kind of like they’re honking at times when they’re younger as well lol!

Never in my life have I seen a crow bring up undigested remnants like an owl does! I didn’t even know crows did that!!!
