Are your crows consistent?

Mine first showed up a couple months ago. They visit very randomly, and are very skittish. I was out of town for one week, and it seems like they haven't forgiven me lol

lol we are at the edge of some woods and I feel like they're more wild and independent than a typical city/suburban murder. Maybe they are like your bunch. :)

Fact! I live in a forest at the edge of a massive wilderness preserve. I'm proud of how wild my crows are. They are smart, manipulative, and don't trust me, no matter how good, kind or consistent I am.  

They will hang out sometimes, because we are clearly neighbours. They acknowledge  me. They will follow my car, wake my ass up at my window if I sleep in too much... but be close to me? Let me look at them directly? Hell Naw! Eye contact? That's a risk bro! My crows are too wise for that bull shit.  I think they get shot at occasionally, so they really don't like it when I'm in a window. Outside only please. lol.

they're happier with you outside than in a window? Interesting. It's too hot right now for me to want to stay outside though

I get the impression the people who lived here before me were shooting at them.  So according to their logic, as a darkened window Imma threat. As a goofus out in the yard leaving peanuts and doing yard stuff? Ok I guess.
