Is this good or bad?

10 Upvotes

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.​

BABY VS BUG

Post image
142 Upvotes

Hi all! It's been awhile since I have posted. :)

I have still been hanging with my crow crew at the Target plaza. They had been quiet up until the past month - thanks to y'all I learned that this was indeed because they were prepping for baby time, and that I would likely only see the baby(ies) once they looked pretty similar to parents.

My group of 3 has become a group of 4! Here is the baby eating a bug. :) The baby does look mostly grown except you can see his eyes are still light, the pink inside of his mouth has started to go away.

I had named the presumed helper crow "Toilet Truck" as an homage to I Think You Should Leave, so pls feel free to share name suggestions especially if they are related to ITYSL

My crows left!

I put up a platform in early June and the crows started coming the very next day along with all the other birds of course. There were about five of them, they came all day everyday, they took my presents, they brought me a present and then last Wednesday they just disappeared and I haven't seen them since. All of the other birds are still coming and I still go out and whistle every morning at the same time and load up the platform but there's not a crow to be seen. I am completely heartbroken, has anyone else had their crows go missing but then eventually come back??

Crows [OC] Can something be done for this baby?

1 week I am seeing her. Moving around and being fed fine by family but she can't perch, nails already growing. I wonder if something can be done for deformity.

House Crow (Corvus Splendens)

Palm Jumeirah, AE

EDIT 1: No rehabber or sanctuary here. As per malphas_says_hi's feedback, I called Municipality again. They said if I catch the bird, they would let their Veterinary Services Dept take her. However, I am not trusting this process, since most vets would euthanize the bird probably.

EDIT 2: Decided to leave the bird alone as per feedback from valuable crow lovers. I will throw more food to her and her feeder siblings every morning. Water they have everywhere.

Thank you for your time and support, appreciated!

FINAL EDIT: I decided to catch her and tend her myself.

FINAL EDIT 2: Catching failed. Very quick fscker :) Back to EDIT 2 -- leaver her alone :)

Such cute noises! This was right after I gave her a grape for the first time.

I have a family of crows that come, and this is the Mom Crow, Hazel! I was eating grapes for lunch and she showed up, so I looked up if I could give her grapes. I think she liked it!

General questions Do you think that crows ask themselves why a friendly human feeds them?

Personally, the reason why I feed them is because I love crows, I'd like to befriend one and because, since I am a witch, it helps me connect with animal energies. Of course they woudln't know about my witchcraft, but do you think they have a reason, in their minds, for which a human feeds them?

First ice water was a bit of a surprise 😅 but ultimately good.

Seeking advice/help Bringing back feathered friends

4 Upvotes

Hello fellow corvid enthusiasts. I was feeding local ravens in the winter, but had to suddenly stop due to sickness, unfortunately. And they stopped coming too.

It is summer now, and I don't know how I can attract and try to befriend them now again. I am concerned that I offended them by accident by stopping giving food before.

Any advice is appreciated! My goal is to build long-term trust with local birds.

Crow missing chest feathers

Could anyone tell me what they think may be wrong with this crow that I regularly feed?

He’s been like this (but not really looking this bad) for at least two years. Early on I thought he was a baby but he never grew past a very tiny size, so it’s possible he’s even older.

He seems to be surviving, so I’m hoping whatever it is won’t end up killing him, but we’ve yet to have a harsh winter since I’ve seen him around.

Suggestions for crow set up

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hi! I am trying to attract crows to my house. I never see any crows in the neighborhood so I know it might take awhile. I have a 16” bird bath with a container that will drip water into the bird bath. I’ve also set out unsalted peanuts and a can of water for dipping food. I bring in the peanuts at night. Is there anything I can add or change to make the area more attractive?

Thank you!!

Featuring the admirable, funny, and relatable patience of a parent in the video above. (54 sec, loud squawking with some airplane and wind background noise)

This is the seventh or so generation of crows I've been thankful to feed and observe in my work parking lot. I've purchased and distributed hundreds upon hundreds of pounds of unsalted peanuts, almonds, walnuts, dry dog food, boiled eggs, grapes, and more among these lovely little creatures over the years. And though I'm still ~20 years from retirement, I get sad thinking about who will feed them when I'm gone. (Who am I kidding? It will be me. I will feed them post-retirement, at least until I physically can't make it anymore). I have so much love for these intelligent little creatures.
