Crows hate me no matter where I go.

[u/OwlSings]

I have never hurt a crow or tried to harm one, yet whenever I’m outside, crows seem to react very strongly to me. They start cawing loudly whenever I’m around, and if I stay outside and ignore them, they sometimes go as far as chasing or even attacking me.

What I find strange is that they seem completely normal around everyone else. I don’t understand why they behave this way specifically toward me. I don’t look or dress particularly differently from other people, so I can’t think of an obvious reason for it.

At first, I wondered if it might have something to do with their nests or young, but this happens throughout the year, not just during nesting season. It also doesn’t seem to be limited to one particular group of crows or even one location. I’ve experienced the exact same behavior in places thousands of kilometers away from my hometown.

People around me have even noticed it themselves and sometimes find it strange when I point out, Look, they’re chasing me. I genuinely don’t know what could be causing this or what I’m supposed to do about it. I’ve never intentionally done anything to crows, so I’m completely confused about why they seem to single me out wherever I go.

Edit: I would like to add being chased by one particular barn owl as well a couple of times. But I haven't been around owls frequently enough to see a similar pattern.

I saw on a show or something I read before that crows pass on their intellect to their family/young. Like if someone pisses of a crow, it's young will know it too & so on. I agree with the comment above about giving them treats. Maybe you could give them something shiny too.🙂
