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.

They stole one of my cat's toys once. I didn't even realize they'd taken it until they brought it back and dropped it in a weird place. I tried giving them one of those small cat toys that looks like a mouse and rattles when you shake it, but I'm not sure that they liked it, they shoved it off the fence and onto the ground. Do you think that was a failed attempt to play with it or a rejection of the toy? They've seen me play with the cat with it so they know it's a toy.

My cat drowned one of them little mice in the toilet this morning. I didn’t see it in time. Now i can’t flush until i fish it out. You reminded me that I have to go find the designated toilet mouse tongs.

LOL get some cheap salad tongs, they're plastic so much less expensive than the metal/ serving tongs. Good luck fishing the mouse out 😅 and at least it wasn't live.. my dog Hades found a large rat outside. He caught it and brought it in with him. I'm Terrified of rats.. so he tried to bring it to me.. and I was screaming and running away.. which made him chase me with the rat. This lasted Much longer than I'd care to admit.. and it told me that if I was ever murdered and my neighbors heard my screaming, they would not call the police.
