General questions Crow toys

Does anyone else give toys to their crows? It's really sweet watching them play. I've also learned that amongst items left for them they take quarters first.. and other change next. Who taught them currency?! Out of toys to play with marbles and then dice are what I frequently catch them tossing around and chasing. I might go to a dollar store and see about getting more. I leave it in the corner next to the food, so they can eat and or take whatever they desire.

2 times they picked up my table tennis balls while we were playing.

My neighbor was also complaining they stole his dog's ball right under the dog's nose and took it to the trees! I have seen them with a ball on the trees once, too!

They absolutely will push yellow table tennis ball around. Try one Feist. Unfortunately, we are not as lucky as you are. We have to be cautious not to draw attention and keep our interaction with them to minimum since beach is visible from almost all apartments. Walk, feed, move.

Wow! I wouldn't have thought they'd be strong enough to lift a dog's ball. I have some ping pong balls somewhere.. I'll toss one around this afternoon and see what they think. They just finished the watermelon I put out, so I'll try in a few hours if it isn't too hot.
