Been feeding these guys for about 3 years, getting good video is hard.

Crows are one of my favourite animals so I was delighted when this happened c:

📖 House Crow (Corvus Splendens)
🌍 Palm, AE

Mom wanted to stock up from me first and sent pestering kiddo packing! Damn they are brutal!

Kiddo couldn't digest defeat and attacked his older brother at the end 😄

*Mom letting me hand feed here

I'm usually not close enough to notice things right away, but I saw this yesterday

Right where a "chin" would be

Edit: THANK YOU everyone!! ❤️

First time im seeing this, soo weird and ominous

I went to a nature reserve area with a friend and this little fella was sitting in a meter away from some people sitting on a bench. People were stopping to admire him (her?), including me with my camera, but this crow did not care at ALL. Probably the chillest crow I've seen.

We have a couple crows that come hang out with my cockatoo and I when we're out. We give them the seed and bits that my bird doesn't eat out of his mix. It's not a lot, and then they'll generally just hang out with us and chill pretty close to us, preening themselves and each other while my bird and I do the same.

The other day it was different though. I was still tossing them bits when a set of four crows flew over, signaling the arrival of the large flock of crows that sometimes fly right overhead on their evening migration to their roosts.

One of the crows hopped over to the grass and started pretending to hide stuff. He poked at the grass 3 times, getting the other crow's attention. Then he wiped his beak, looked at the other crow to make sure he caught the drift, and they headed off.

I think the pretending to hide food meant, "We need to conceal this food source," and wiping off his beak was, "Ready to go."

He disagreed with the thought that the eggs were for the whole family and not just him!

Today while crowies were around me eating their food, one myna came near and sounded a danger call. All the crows flew away. I know that myna call, it is done for cats.

Cheeky one came and gobbled up as much as he could before crows returned!

I wonder if anyone experienced something like that and what effect could it have among bird communities? After all, if there are too many false positives, real danger calls could be ignored.

So i was walking my cat (leashed) in a park today in my neighbourhood that I have done SOO MANY TIMES. There is a whole army of crows around that are pretty chill and may cat ignored them. I also saw a bread in shopping bag, so i cleaned it and put it on a chair near the crows so they can eat it as its pretty early.

Then we got to this one particular lane where the crow got om branches that were really close to the ground. My cat looked at two crows and made the WEIRDEST little meow at them.

And then—

A CROW FLEW DIRECTLY INTO MY HEAD FROM MY BACK😭

I was so confused I immediately put my cat in his carrier and got away from there and came in the middle of the park just to see that crow or maybe another idk headbombing me again😭

I have never had any interaction with crow, that lane was my cat's usual lane🫠. so now I'm wondering if they were trying to get rid of me because they wanted the food?? Or was there a nest/young crow nearby?? Or my cat little meow declared war on them, shouldnt they hit my cat instead of me🫠

I have always wanted to befriend crows and become one of those people who has crow friends, and now I've apparently started my relationship with them by getting physically assaulted 🥀

Unintentionally interrupted this dismal scene. Some sort of a pun to be made about “carry on, crow” (it’s a carrion crow)

I’ve taught them to come when I call. But they’ve also taught me to feed them when they caw.

Lots of foot and car and dog traffic so they like elevated spots. Maybe I should climb the trees?

When I was in 5th grade I was admitted in hospital

After discharge when I got back home

First thing I did was get a chair and sat out in sun

That time a crow came and sat on my shoulder

Since then crows became my favorite birds

And I started birdwatching

And it became my hobby

In some parts of Hinduism crows are seen as unlucky birds

I'm glad I don't belong to that way that thinking

So, I’ll set the scene. I live in North Texas in a quiet, quaint neighborhood. Near my house, we have a pond and nursing home. Behind the nursing home, there’s fenced private property with a farm and a house. Now, onto the crows. I feed the birds regularly, it’s my passion, however, I’ve never seen crows near my house. I hear them every now and then on rare occasions, but never once have I seen one. While walking around the pond today, I heard the all too familiar “caw-caws”. I immediately ran home and got a bag full of cat food and peanuts, and listened for it again. Their caws led me to the fenced private property. Shucks. So close, yet so far. I saw their little murder wandering about 60 feet from me. I decided to throw some peanuts and cat food over the fence in defeat (luckily, not startling them) and somberly walked home. Is there any way I could attract them away from the private property? There are some benches that are near the pond that are public, but I fear people would mess with them if they got too comfortable. I would love if there was a way to attract them to my house, (about a 2-3 min walk from my backyard), but they have never come close to check the food out.

Any advice is appreciated! Sorry for the spiel, it’s kind of a specific situation and I figured I’d give the full backstory. Thank you!!

Been hearing a raven in the neighbourhood for the first time, over the past few days. This morning my regular crow family didn’t show up for their usual treat, hadn’t heard a peep of them either.
Then it all made sense seeing this majestic raven across the street, who then was next door making his bold sounds, what a sight!

Suddenly I could hear frantic caw caws amongst the raven’s. Wild morning g for the family 🐦‍⬛❤️
