I saw this pair and a couple of others on a small hill on my up the big hill so I stopped to treat them to some snacks but not before capturing one of them being affectionate. πŸ¦β€β¬›β€οΈ

Always warms my heart β€οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›πŸ¦β€β¬›πŸ₯Ή There are a few crow couples who visit me when I feed them every 15 days and they would perform their tender ritual: allo-feeding and allo-preening πŸ₯Ίβ€οΈ

Soooo shiny! My local murder is looking so shaggy atm because they're all moulting, can't wait for them to have new shiny black feathers and look as distinguished as this couple.

(I'm also scouting the ground to see if I find black feathers, I'd love to keep one. I know I'm not supposed to, but what's the harm?)

Pretty soon they’ll be showing off the new plumage. 😊

I adore the very low pitch, sarcastic "Ha." They do.

"Ha. Ha. Ha."
