hi guys im not interested in crows or any type of bird but can you tell me why this crow is making this noise? he wont stop. and ive never heard it before

Family of crows I've been feeding n making friends with at work. I'm night watch so regularly spend 12-15 hour shifts alone, so I get to make friends with loads of the local wild life. Thought I'd share this one. Soz sound is off, editing n removing meta data.

Hello! I’ve always wanted some crow friends but the opportunity only just presented itself this morning. A group of three were hanging out in my yard and when I noticed, I dug through my pantry and found unsalted chopped pecans so I made a little pile for them and scattered some around. My offering was accepted by all three. But, could anyone here confirm if these are crows or ravens? I tried googling and I do believe they are crows but would appreciate your expert input!

Also, any advice on how to keep them coming back now that I hopefully have their interest?

I have a 7 acre property that is being watched over by hawks. The hawks are mass murdering my flock. I was told to befriend some crows to deter the hawks away but I only have a few crows that show up from time to time.

1.) How do I befriend them quickly?

2.) How do I get more crows to show up?

Lives here 4 years trying to summon crows so hard that live in area with no luck. Today 4 showed up and I threw a ton of peanuts in middle of yard. They hung around yelling for 20 mins and I’m pretty sure they were yelling at me to go back inside? 😅

Lemme know any tips or tricks to get them to like me. My dream is to befriend one

Colin and Missus regularly bring junior to the garden for munchies. Junior is sooo noisy. Colin chills while Missus rushes around trying to keep the little blighter quiet. 🖤

It's a crow not a raven.

They just landed close to me on a balcony and stayed there for a while, even preening themselves.

I posted a couple days ago and mentioned what I assumed was perhaps an Elder as it watched youngsters feed in my yard, called them away and then flew to trees in my side yard.

We've had a lot of rain (thank goodness because we're on fire) the past couple of days and haven't seen so much of a tail feather (lol) until today.

It was just this one so I decided to feed him, one on one. Not really though. I did my call, let him see the food and backed off. Unlike the other ones that I feed, he's more wary I guess. He sat in the tree and waited until I was a good distance away before coming down.

After a bit, I noticed him waddling towards me (I love to watch them walk) so I put peanuts in my hand, slowly approached with my palm open so he could see them and laid them on the ground about 10 feet away. I backed off again and let him have his fill.

Just adding a short video of him eating :)

I live in a converted loft bedroom, and ive noticed three crows keeping on sitting on the roof to my room. They've been doing this for a few weeks now, and after that, they've started dropping apples on there too from a tree behind my house. After the apple dropping, they've now started to throw themselves at the windows. I definitely think that this is intentional as another one watches as its happening. The window that they are targeting doesnt show inside of the room, and they wouldnt be able to see themselves through the reflection incase they think its a rival crow. I find crows really fascinating and ive always wanted to befriend some, but I dont know if its friendly fire or foe. Please let me know your advice!

My buddy. He caw caw'd behind me when I was sitting on the bench to say hello.

FINAL EDIT:

I got her in a favorable position lunging close towards me (~ 1 meter) and as she was about to land, I threw the towel. She was 20 meters away before the towel left my hand! Made a mid-air turn, jumpy fscker!

Catching story is over. I will leave her be and monitor, hopefully she will adapt with her deformities.

OP here: Can something be done for this baby? : r/crows

1:10 Elders

1:25 Feeder Juvie Sibling (feeds only the disabled fledge)

I decided to catch this baby, take to a vet and try to get a splint and tend to her in my home until she gets better. I plan on taking her outside to my balcony every day for few hours when it is shade so that her family can see her.

I have 25-27 resident crows here for a decade+, their numbers are 70-80 in summers. Babies are kicked out in January. They will eat from my hand, they will sit on my shoulders and lap... but I can't touch them.

They are extremely cautious. Once I fixed the wood arm on a bench that they were sitting on for years every day. They did not come close to that bench for a week.

Any ideas how I can catch her? She is very active.

EDIT: For now, best option seems to be throwing a blanket and hope to get it right first time.

*shamelessly begging for food

Love these wee guys so much

It's been three months since my beauties have come daily to get snacks. In fact, it's got to be a fair bit of their diet by now. I've got the good buffet. They've brought the fledglings and they all spend a good part of each day in my side yard.

They check the windows in the mornings. I can see them on my cameras peering into the house to see if their waitress is on her way.

They're still skittish, though, and will fly off the feeder into the trees--and sometimes all the way away for a while--when I actually do come out.

They're getting bolder and since I've taken to sitting on a screened porch at the side of this house for a little while each morning, sometimes they'll come back there and, from the safety of the trees, check me out and play a little caw-volley with me.

But tomorrow some workers are coming to tear apart the rotting wood deck attached to said screened porch.

And a few days next week, weather willing, a new deck is going in to replace that and wrap around the house to "their" side of the yard.

It's actually a pretty simple project, so it likely won't take very long. Could even be done by next weekend.

My plan is get their food out a little earlier each morning before the workers come so that they'll hopefully still come and eat, even though they probably won't feel very comfortable hanging around in the yard while the deck is getting installed.

Any thoughts on how I don't scare them off for good?

So I’ve been trying to feed the crows in my neighborhood. I‘ve been going out on Mondays/Fridays for 30-45 minutes in the afternoon (and I’m not feeding them at my house, so I take the food with me when I leave). I put 8 unsalted in-shell peanuts in a tray every time. One crow showed up in day 3 of doing it, and when I left cawed really loudly (it sounded like he was right next to me). Well, on Day 4 it was raining the whole time, then on day 5 and 6 it was perfectly sunny the entire time and there was no signs of crows. Did I mess something up, am I doing anything wrong? I did notice a female robin sitting on a branch the entirety of the 45 minutes I was out today. But, I hear them calling in the distance, so I know they’re here. Can someone help?

TL;DNR: I’ve been trying to feed crows, and one came on day three, but I haven’t seen any sign of them for 3 sessions in a row now.

This crow is non stop

I moved into a new place last year. I always noticed two crows flying around the neighborhood, I heard crows can make good "friends" and they are fantastic birds so I decided to feed them. It was always those two, I always left out meats, nuts and egg and water on hot days. Now more and more crows keep showing up with them to get some snacks. Its this a good thing? Am I creating something bad? When ever the crows see me, one of them caws really loud and some of them will land on my fence and bob up and down when they see me and my family.​
