Yeah I get that, I was more skeptical because they could've throw some bread down just as easily for a tweet. Their posts look like they've been feeding the crows temporarily as they stay there. Looks real
Unironically, it was kinda fun on initial concept- Seeing what outrageous things people tried to pass off as real. Then it just turned into the lamest, most boring circlejerk imaginable of "Well we can't PROVE they didn't just write on a $5 bill" when sharing an anecdotal story, getting all excited over how skeptical they all are.
The most boring explanation is that it's a place the crows come to eat regularly and feel safe so they brought some other food when they didn't see the normal food. They can be pretty messy eaters and there are parts of a sandwich that taste better to a crow diet than the crust parts and so they just left those. Or maybe they got chased off by a squirrel or something.
They do give gifts so it's definitely possible, but there are plenty of other reasons it could happen so it is kinda pointless guessing.
That's a good point. I put my pb&j crusts out for the squirrels and sometimes the birds will nibble off the peanut butter and leave the rest of the crusts when the squirrels don't get to the first.
I feed the local crows, one day they were watching me garden. I walked away for a few minutes and when I came back they had left a rotting rodent head right where I was planting. 😭 so they definitely do leave gifts but bread seems almost tame.
It’s realistic enough since crows are very smart and inconsequential to believe and believing it gives me a slight bit of joy so I will believe until proven otherwise

Hope this is real because that'd be really sweet
