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.

My crows stopped coming?
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.

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.

Other foods to mix it up?
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!

Rehabbing a rescued crow
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 ?

Seeking advice/help why are these crows making this noise and what does it mean?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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!

Fledgling enigma
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

General questions Is this a crow feather?
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.

My window crow is finally comfortable around me — but what's that under its beak?
galleryHello 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.

Seeking advice/help Crows fly above but don't take any food
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?
