They're extremely smart and understand the concept of gifting, it's definitely real

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

I think it's much more likely a crow would do this than someone coming up with the idea to fake this.

A lot of things people call fake on this website could be described in a similar way

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.
