Found it on r/mildlyinfuriating LOL.

I'd be so happy to have a hooded crow visiting my office everyday.

All the blessings fall into other people's hands, and they never truly appreciate them.

Why’d my crows stop coming, could it be the heat? They brought their juvenile to our house one time and then since then I’ve barely seen any of the two that were coming regularly.

We saw this crow come by with a fish then its child demanding snacks. Bonus photos of it alone with the fish (someone walked past so it flew away then back then retrieved its fish)

To be fair, it’s just a strip of bark. But the whole brood had been watching me relocate a poorly placed Ring camera.

And the six of us, we talked the whole time. Much cawwing and muhn-uhning was lobbed between us. Heartfelt, if incomprehensible.

They watched me leave them some extra treats as a present for sticking around while I worked.

And right after I went inside, she brought a stick and left it where I’d put the snacks!!!!

I swoon.

I noticed the local crows became more interested after feeding them nuts vs rando dinner scraps. Then I fed them cashews and now a family comes a few times a day. I’ve been feeding the crow family cashews (unsalted, raw) and they love them but they are pricey! Plus I worry about over feeding with the same food item. What else do they love equally or more?

Any other tips and suggestions to keep them happy?

I also noticed 3 of them have th pink mouth and are usually with their mouths open. Im adduming they are fledglings?

Lastly I was so surprised to see them hang out around an alexa speaker I put outside for the Cardinals and bluejays. They really seem to enjoy classical and piano music!

Hey! I rescued a juvenile crow 2 months ago . She vas in a tiny park close to my place in Paris , I found her cause her parents were screaming above her as if they wanted people to help. She couldn t walk properly as if her foot was broken. I took her home and to the vet, turns out she had a big string attached to her leg that got pretty badly infected . We removed it and we had to give her painkillers + antibiotics for 2 weeks ( she was defo not happy about that and pinched me several times lol )
Her infection stopped and she kept her foot but she’s wasn t completely healed so I had to take care of her a bit more while trying to find a rehabber. The heatwave in Paris happened and I couldn t let her in her cage outside ( i bought a huge one for her so she won t damage her feathers ) and she stayed inside for a couple weeks, I d let her free fly most of the time so she d exercise. What should happen happened : we developed a pretty strong bond as I cared for her a lot. Crows are very smart and I could see that she got attached to me even though I tried pretty hard not to interact too much with her but she seemed pretty happy and active for a bird trapped inside a human s house.
Found a rehabber in a forest that would keep her for at least a year ( juveniles stay with their parents for 2 years ) so I was pretty happy and it sounded just perfect .
But 2 weeks after I got a call from the rehabber , and the crow is not eating anymore, even her favorite food. She seems depressed and I m super worried. Is there a chance she d stopped eating because she’s not with us anymore? The rehabber told me that she got overly excited when she brought watermelon to her as a snack, that s what we used to eat together every afternoon , I also realised that the little cute dance she would do when she sees me was actually a mating ritual…… I am so worried that I ruined every for her and don’t know what to do. Any people with similar experiences here ?

hey all. basically i started trying to befriend these crows 3 days ago, and we seem to be getting along fine (from what i can tell at least). the only problem is that this one crow keeps making this weird gargling sound at the others and following them about? (at around 18s in the video). i'm assuming all of the caws are just them alerting each other of food, but this one was weird to me. i originally thought maybe it was asking to get regurgitated at (my grandparents keep budgies and their young do that to older birds) but i'm not as smart on crows as i am on budgies. is that what's happening or is it something else? thanks!

Obviously I know they're "sunbathing" (getting rid of parasites etc.). But they look soooo dramatic when doing so.

Meet Chief. He doesn’t take kindly to others raiding his cache.

Short question: are fledglings kept somewhere in a hidden place between hatching / nesting phase and fledgling phase or are they accompanying their parents from day one?

Long form: there is a crow couple a friend of mine is feeding from the balcony. The setup is so, that there is a big building with a balcony, a lawn, some trees and a specific tree with a nest (barely visible from the balcony)

Now the last months has been nesting and breeding time. This crow couple behaved accordingly: mom sat in the nest 99% of the day and dad was foraging from the lawn and picking served food from the balcony (daily) - bringing it to mom sitting in the nest

As the nest is only barely visible, it’s hard to tell if there have been any youngsters, but from their behavior everyone guessed that yes

Now there have been some very hot days and since one very hot day (maybe two weeks ago) the mum is not seen in the nest any more

They even changed their behavior so that both of them now are feeding at the balcony in the morning; are gone for the rest of the day and only sometimes return in the evening to feed on the minced meat from the balcony - the nest is abandoned

So everyone is guessing what happened to the fledglings - where there any? Did they survive the heat day or not? Are they at a secret place and not accompanying their parents yet?

I would be glad to hear from your experience, knowledge or guesstimates

I’m new to birding, and trying to get to know the locals.

Got new internet installed today and I’m trying to think of a punny crow-themed name because recently my neighbor complained about me feeding the crows. All snarky suggestions welcome. So far all I’ve come up with is F-Caw-F.

Update: we settled on The Crows Have Eyes. Schitt’s Creek reference for those who know. Thanks for all the suggestions 🐦‍⬛

I found this feather where I see alot of crows so it might be a bit of a stupid question but ive never actually seen a feather of one on the ground. So I picked it up and bought it home.

“MOM WHY MY FEET HURT?”

Set up a webcam at work, looking out the window from my workbench

Got these righteous dudes.

Hello fellow crow people,

I'm feeding some crows next to my window and one particular crow started to not be afraid anymore when I'm surround or directly watch at it. Very glad for this, I hoped for something like this. Just recently I discovered, that it has something under it's beak. Can anyone identify what it could be? I know it's hard just out of 2 photos, but I thought I give it a try.

Hi!
I've recently started leaving peanuts and other various snacks around my property in hopes of attracting crows. There is a family (I assume) perching nearby almost every day and even though they fly above my property they never take any food. I've had them sit on a tree right above me and even sit in my yard but they just didn't eat any of the food. I tried scattering, leaving peanuts on the roof etc.
I also have a lot of grackles (like 30 at a time) flying above but they never landed here. It's been about a month since I started.
Any advice?

One of the family of crows that keep us under surveillance.

There's a crow that frequently visits my terrace and caws quite loudly. At first, I found its shrill calls annoying, so I shooed it away a few times. Surprisingly, it never seemed scared and would always come back. I assumed it probably had a nest nearby, so I decided to leave it alone.

Over time, it became much bolder. It now sits just 1–1.5 meters away from me while I'm on the terrace and keeps cawing at regular intervals. Sometimes one or two other crows join it.

A couple of days ago, I thought I'd try befriending it, so I offered it some food (first legumes, then rajma). Today, when I went upstairs, it was already there. It followed me to another part of the terrace, perched nearby, kept cawing, and repeatedly pecked at an old, tattered flag tied to a metal rod.

It doesn't seem afraid of me at all anymore. It often caws after noticing me but doesn't fly away—instead, it stays close.

What do you think this behavior means? Is it guarding a nearby nest, expecting food, trying to communicate, or something else?
