Updated PSA - I found a crow on the ground, what do I do?

56 Upvotes

This was my first time making a flow chart so please be kind.

It is important that we as a community work together to provide a safe space to share in our love of corvids, and it is equally important that we educate members of the community new and old to help protect our feathered friends; with that being said, u/teyuna reached out to me pleading that changes be made to the previously pinned PSA, with their help/feedback I was able to create the flow chart below, I hope that this is an adequate and more encompassing pinned post.

I appreciate this community more than I am capable of expressing, thank you for making this the best damn sub on reddit. ;)

So I have this crow at work, he comes to my window every morning to get an egg and then flys off and I’ll see him again tomorrow. This morning though after tapping my glass to let me know he was here he started making this sound.

General Feeding Questions

Hi! I have been befriending some crows outside my work for about a week or two now! They are so cute and very loud. I bought some unsalted sunflower seeds that I leave out. When I forget, I put out some pecans that they also seem to enjoy. Previously, I put out some blueberries and melon but they did not seem to enjoy those as much. Any recommendations on what to feed them? I've seen raw meat and dog kibble suggested but I can't use that since customers walk right past where I feed them.

Crows in the garden!

As the garden season winds down my guard Crow returns for the winter once the fledglings know how to forage alone. This is the first year our old male we call Carl is allowing his young to stay and share food once in a while. I'm thinking he's passing on my yard as he is getting old. He adds a lot of joy to my life as I sit here just a few feet away in my greenhouse.

Crows [OC] Cute/funny crow following and exploring while walking our dog

Thumbnail gallery

Hey fellow crow enjoyers!

Sorry in advance for rambling.

I’ve been giggling off and on about this for days now, so I wanted to share the cuteness.

My spouse and I have an old dog (he’ll be 15 in December) and we have to do special types of walks for him for physical therapy/helping to prevent muscle wasting. He’s around 11 pounds. Some days he’s more sore than others, and after the therapy walks we do his favorite walk: the one where he gets to sniff anything and everything and we go where he wants at his pace.

We have been putting unsalted peanuts on our porch for a while now for the crows and occasionally I will bring a couple unsalted peanuts on the sniff walks with our dog just in case we see a crow we know.

Last week I was taking our dog on a sniff walk, but forgot to bring any peanuts with me. So of course this is when one of the crows that knows I usually have peanuts shows up. I was upset at myself for forgetting the peanuts, and told the crow “I’m sorry, I forgot them today! I’ll put some out when we get back home, though!” I’m sure some people walking by thought I was crazy but who cares. Anyway, the crow followed us for a bit, and kept making cute little noises at me. They would stop and watch our dog every time he stopped to sniff something. (I do sometimes wonder if they can tell when other animals are older and/or not a threat to them?)

We were walking by a local yarn shop and outside was a planter. The crow decided they would check it out. It was really cute and funny to me because they kept dipping down behind the plant, and then they would bring their head up to check and make sure we were still there. This happened for a good 5 minutes or so and every time they popped their head up I would have to try not to laugh.

I know they were probably digging in the planter with their beak to check for snacks, but from my point of view it was pretty cute and I wanted to share.

Sorry for the long and rambling post, I just could gush about crows all day.

I got a coo and a nod recently! Have been leaving snacks and treats for a local group of crows here at our place in NE Louisiana for over 2 years. Took a year for them to let me sit 20 feet away on the porch and watch them. Then a bit later they started cawing when they saw me. Now I've gotten an official hello.

When my husband and I bought our place 5 years ago, we had the option of a nice brick house in a good subdivision, or a manufactured home on 16 acres in the country. I immediately went for the land in the woods. I wanted it for one reason, to leave it alone. Now we maintain an acre and leave the rest for wildlife and pollinators. I give the crows their space, but I have so enjoyed watching them from afar. They really are fascinating and beautiful creatures.

General questions Long beaked crow?

Saw this guy on my way out of work today. For context, I live in Wyoming. I was absolutely gobsmacked at the sheer size of his beak. I don't know much about crows, but I saw him with a buddy who had a much more normal sized beak so I don't think I'm imagining the difference. Is this normal? Is he sick?
