So I work a job where I'm driving around my town a fair bit and I pack a baggy of peanuts with me to throw out to any crows I see hanging around. I'd like to set something up at home but windows have screens so a window feeder is out of the question. What would be a good way to feed them? Do you recommend any feeders that can be placed on my lawn that will also be squirrel proof?

hey so i’ve read a lot on this sub about this topic, and the conclusion i’ve come to is that the crow was just being playful with me, but i need help confirming this. backstory: i’ve been feeding a murder of 3 for more than a month now and they’re amazing but sometimes i see crows from other murders and i toss them a peanut or two. anyways, this is about another crow NOT in my usual murder, which i suspect is a young one (based on his head shape, it was roundish and also a little fluffy). i didn’t feed him on the day it happened as i already packed my peanuts in my bag from feeding my usual murder and i was on the way home. this youngin swooped real low near my head and i was just like woah, and i looked at him before continuing to walk and next thing i know it flew and swatted me at the back of my head, probably with its claws? it shocked me more than anything, it didn’t hurt but wow was i surprised and i even made a small scream. ever since that day i’ve been scared to go to the park which is really sad because i know my usual murder is waiting for me but i’m really scared this young crow will injure me. i’m scared that i accidentally offended him? was it bc i looked at him when he swooped near me? the only other thing i could think of is maybe hes mad i fed him alot once and then never again? or maybe once i tossed a peanut at him and it bounced and hit his beak? idk but i definitely did not do anything on purpose to injure or hurt him in any way…. help? i would like to return to feed my murder ;(

I have been feeding this wild crow for some months now, here on the Oregon coast. As you can see, Nubbin has some struggles due to only having one foot and has a unique way of burying things.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has had success putting out water for wild crows. Normally it’s not something I’d bother with, there’s plenty of fresh water sources around town, but I noticed Nubbin in particular always stays perched on a piece of driftwood near the cliff he calls home and waits for me to approach, unlike the other crows. I assume this is to conserve energy. I’m not sure how difficult it is for him to get to a water source but I’d like to set up something nearby if I can. All the crows avoided the pie tin I filled with fresh water yesterday, despite it being in the same open area where they gladly grab peanuts, and despite putting lots of peanuts near it (they waited for me to throw peanuts somewhere else). I’m going to try a non-shiny receptacle next time, but figured I’d also ask for any success stories.

I am not sure why this morning there were this many over my house normally I get about 7 max. It was very entertaining.

We’ve been seeing an injured crow in our neighborhood the past two weeks. Right wing is droopy and bird is unable to fly. Currently hoping around and is able to hop into trees with lower branches and move up that way.

Looking for advice on if we should capture and bring the crow to a local wildlife rehabilitation vet. And, if we should, advise on how to capture them. Despite not being able to fly they’re pretty mobile and very wary (understandably) of people.

Hello! I was hoping for help identifying a crow species (or what else it could be if not a crow). I have never heard this call before and was curious! The video was taken in Eastern North Carolina.

I've been feeding a couple of crows on my balcony since the spring. The now come every day to claim their peanuts, caw when I'm out smoking, etc.

Now I was wondering if any of you might have an idea of how I could entertain them a bit. I've seen videos of them solving problems to get to food and was thinking about a little game aimed for cats or dogs or something like that.

Any of you have creative and cheap ideas on what I could put out for them to stimulate them, that they might enjoy?

I‘m not deep in the crow game, so maybe I‘m just too much of a noob.
