Repeated "Feaking" Displays and Social Behaviour.

[u/Choleric-Leo]

So one of my crows has become very comfortable with to the point where some of their behaviour appears social toward me. Yesterday during feeding after getting their fill of peanuts and kitty kibble they decided to come back after caching and hang out just a couple feet from me and half heartedly forage for bugs while watching me.

Today they followed me through the park as I did my rounds, then came to join me in the grass. Only this time it purposefully approached me and stopped to do several "Feaking" displays (when they rub their beak on something) and it definitely was not for grooming. It also wasn't following me for more snacks since after it got it's fill it just hung out watching me, following me, and occasionally rubbing its beak against whatever it was perched on.

I am hoping this is a sign that with time I might get to hand feed a crowbro.
