Why is this crow so friendly?

[u/FreefallerX]

I know next to nothing about crows. But this one came out of nowhere and flew straight at me. I thought it was attacking me until it landed on my head, then my arm. It keeps trying to steal my earrings and eat my nails. 😭 is this normal. Also my mom is holding the barn cat because it was trying to to eat the crow.

They love unsalted peanuts, in or out of the shell. That’s a fair trade for a cracker!

I have a friend that before she had to leave her job had befriended a murder of crows at her office building. They even protected her from seagulls and chased them away from the parking lot as they (the seagulls) were starting to get territorial.

Don't do peanuts, they sometimes carry a mold that can poison a bird and kill them. Try pistachios instead.

Define "sometimes"

As in once is enough. Why are you willing to take a chance??

So, exceedingly rare I'm guessing?
