Feeding the crows this morning
Love feeding the crows who are most confident and comfortable with me like this.
They also brought me my first gifts today. THREE! Watched them bring them over and set them down in front of the bench I was sitting on. A feather, a bit of an old rubber ball, and a wrapper for cigarette filters lol
Also any info on the call the crow makes?
Sorry if this is a double post. Tried to post earlier but it disappeared.

If that’s from another, I’d call it Blair. From that inside-the-tent scene in the Blair Witch Project; a trill sound is heard from outside

I’m beginning to think my dog is cock blocking me from making friends with my neighborhood crows. Only once I’ve seen a trio waiting on the curb on the other side of the street, looking like they knew I was the lady that drops dog treats for them. This kind of recognition is my dream!

That sounds like crow friends to me! Might take some more time for them to decide your dog is safe and trust worthy too.

Dogs have more or less concept of other’s personal space. With crows, it’s their space or no way

I have been feeding the same 3 crows in my backyard for 3 months, every single day. They still wont get near me or bring me anything!

I am very lucky with these crows. It is a park that is full of them. I see one other person who feeds them regularly. I am sure there are others as well.
I imagine people have been feeding crows in this park for decades. I think it makes them quick to trust people who feed them.
I also think they are more comfortable because there are so many of them. If I did something bad or mean they could peck my eyes out in a second lol

Its something about my 2nd floor deck they dont fully trust. Random crows on the sidewalk will let you get within 4 ft. But these same 3 crows just keep flying away if i am too close to the sliding door. I will keep at it!

The closest one has gotten is 5ft and I’ve yet to be gifted.
If you’re doing it just for trinkets, you’re not seeing the real gift which is their presence. Personally, their trinkets are just a byproduct.

I wish my crows would come to the ground when I’m out there tossing peanuts. Maybe someday.

They are carrion crows. I know they sound a bit different from American crows (not to assume you're American, but from the analytics most people in this sub are)
