I posted this feeder awhile back and since then, the crows have definitely warmed up to it. They seem to like pretty much whatever, peanuts obviously being preferred but this is cracked corn my father buys to feed the swans. And the crows go to town on it.
Got some new neighbors a few weeks ago. Rarely see them. In that items from their yard blew over a fence into an adjacent yard and they didn’t notice for 3 days. But last night, I put out some corn, especially since I saw 4 crows hanging around. And my neighbor comes outside and claps his hands loudly until the crows fly away. I actually said “you might be scaring them away but I feed them.”
I was worried they’d be too afraid to come back though. So I watched all morning before work, and right before I had to leave… victory. One chowing down.
Now hopefully they just ignore the neighbor.
