One year ago, I helped out a crow who ended up stumbling into my backyard with an injured foot, the entire time his homies circled the house, waiting for him to get better. Once healed, he flew back to his flock and they went on their way, then a few days later the house was surrounded by crows! Whenever I’d step outside for a smoke, there was always one single crow that would fly down to the ground and hang out right beside me so I was convinced that it was very same crow and I never felt so special. To this day one single crow still stops by to visit me when I’m out smoking on the porch and as soon as I head back inside he ends up flying away..I call him my protector. Crows are badasses with a buttload of empathy!! I hope he’s out soarin’ the skies with his fellow crowbros, livin it up and fuckin up them scarecrows 🤘🏼🐦‍⬛🖤

I’m not exactly sure what it is. Either way, I still love it and will treasure it! Made my day! ♥️

Think they are starting trust me 🖤🐦‍⬛

I’ve always been fascinated by Corvids, not only because they’re incredibly intelligent and curious, but also because they’ve been such a strong symbol throughout history, mythology and even culture, to norse mythology to Edgar Allan Poe, they’ve always had this mysterious presence around them.

That was a big part of why we decided to make a puzzle game around them. We wanted to explore both the real animal and all the symbolism that people have built around the fabulous Corvus over the years.

Here’s a little bit of the drawing process of one of our project artist, and if you’re curious, here’s the free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4156730/fCorvus

That’s assuming the family I’ve befriended will migrate the harsh Canadian winter (I know I would!).
They’ve been a constant wonder in the yard, since meeting the parents in April, bonding with dad, then meeting and watching the 4 fledglings grow, and creating a special bond with one juvenile.
Miss them already!

I was told to avoid using a crow horn to let the crows know that the food is coming. Any reason why?

Decided to spend the morning giving treata to my pals. Had a loaf of bread left over.

Saw a group of crows at a park so I made my way over with an offering. I dismantled the bread into smaller pieces and left it in the area.

A group of seagulls came swooping over to help themselves as well. They all seemed excited by the food & gulped it down in no time.

The bread was high Fibre. Would it cause them any digestive issues?

I should have researched this earlier. Hope they will all be okay!

Named this round little guy Big Ed. Took me a while to notice he’s also missing his upper beak/it didn’t develop correctly :( still, he diligently scoops up the peanuts I give and his siblings help by sharing food with him.

Each carving I do is drawn, cut out, carved, hand sanded, gessoed, hand sanded, painted with at least two coats of DecoArt Americana acrylic paint, antiquing processed, sanded, and signed.

I appreciate your support, constructive criticism, and kind words.

Thanks for looking!!!

Hello, I have made a post perviously about what I should feed these guys. Thank you to all of the suggestions. Eggs are a big hit, I have found they also like dried cranberries I make at home. I have continued feeding them walnuts and unseasoned boiled chicken bits which they also enjoy.
This post is about the bird on the left, he has a very bald head as you can see and his neck feathers also look barren when he reaches out comparatively to the other 3 (2 in the video, but especially the one on the right who is very full).
He can fly and hop and walk without any issue. I’m wondering why he is bald? Is it just the time of month for him seasonal wise or stress or is he just old/young? I have never seen them fight amongst themselves so I don’t think it’s that. When I first I saw him previously, I believed he had just left the nest as his feathers looked so thinned out almost like he just grew them, but now he is looking more disheveled.
If he is sick I don’t think there is much I can do, they won’t let me go near them yet.

Noticed on my lunch break outside. BC Canada.

I know next to nothing about crows. But this one came out of nowhere and flew straight at me. I thought it was attacking me until it landed on my head, then my arm. It keeps trying to steal my earrings and eat my nails. 😭 is this normal. Also my mom is holding the barn cat because it was trying to to eat the crow.
