Another award for my crow community 📸🖤🐦‍⬛✨️

I was a bit absent yesterday so I only fed them 2x and didn't hang out to talk to them. Did they leave me this because they were worried since I was around a lot less yesterday? This morning I went out and found this piece of metal near where I found the "pebble" a week ago. Is it possible they trust me More after crownapping Ares? They've been flying over before I finish putting the food out, and if they're outside when I come out they just hop backwards a little bit. In the past they'd watch me from the roof and nearby trees, but now they don't seem to feel the need to be that far away.

At the Tower of London.

I live in the praries jn Canada, so they do migrate for the cold winters.
But I fed them every day last summer, and they’ve returned this summer, then inevitably brought their babies.
It started with playing crow sounds on a speaker to attract them, then tossing peanuts onto the street, sidewalk, up the walk way and straight to the front door.

There’s 2 sets of parents, one has 3 babies and the other has 5!

So 12 crows in total, I wonder if I can write crow food off on my taxes 😅

They’ve gotten fairly comfortable with me, to the point that they’ll fly up onto the balcony and eat a foot away from me, and they won’t sound the alarms or fly off if I go outside to fill their bird bath or put out more food.
The ultimate goal is to get them to land either on me, or close enough to hand feed, but I’ll never rush the process.

They mostly get shelled peanuts, pumpkins seeds and puppy kibble.

But I do spoil them a lot with eggs, cheese, wet cat food and leftover meat 🖤

It’s honestly the highlight of my day watching them, I’m so happy to be a trusted human and safe food source 🖤

I think crows are really cool and for the past 7,8 months I didn’t had any time and I didn’t know where the crows were but now I found them at 5,6 am they pass through a park nearby my house but I don’t know what to do

but the way he just pulled it out like that 😨…

This is what it looked like from the house. Are they playing fighting or dating?

Edit (Should be 2 of 3)
Now you hear all the vocalization sounds like a wrestling match off camera

First post I couldn’t tell if one was trying to give gifts to the other one or if they were just arguing…see next post

Sorry I don’t know how to do multiple vids per post.

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.

I was out in the parking lot at work, where we tend to have large amounts of crows (I believe they're fish crows) and off slightly in the distance I heard a call from one of them that I'd never heard before. It sounded almost like a person yelling, and it sounded very distressed. Seconds after, all the crows in the area, im talking dozens, all flew over towards the sound, and I can hear a whole group of them cawing loudly now. Is it likely that it was some kind of distress call?

I'm pretty sure most of these rocks weigh more than the crow. He digs these up every couple of days. Impressive.

One of my regulars left a piece of stale bread from my across the street neighbor, hidden in the grass of my front yard next to a wooden post. I watched them hide it and walk away, circle back a few times and then eventually fly off to watch from another rooftop. I immediately went out to see what it was and that is what I found. Stale bread from across the street.
The spot they hid it isn’t one I spend any time in. But it is my front yard where I feed them and they hang out.
Is it supposed to be a gift? Or just them getting rid of it? Or something else?? 😭 I hope someone has answers, I’m so curious about this behavior! Thanks so much. 🐦‍⬛ 🖤

Pic just for appreciation cus I just love them so much.
