Storytime! Amazing crow event!!!

Im so damn ecstatic. It is surreal what just happened to me, so ofc I have to rant about it!!

So, Ive been feeding the crows for a while, taking a walk down to the water and placing out peanuts. Each and every morning, the previous days peanuts are gone. Yesterday there was a crow in the tree I have to pass under to gett o my feeding spot. And as I walked underneeth the tree, the crow scilently flew into some other trees.

I continued walking and was ASTOUNDED when I saw a crow sitting on my feeding rock, with a peanut inits mouth. It obvoiusly left as soon as I got close. But I do sing as I walk and there was no way it didnt know I was on my way.

And the fact that the tree crow didnt warn its friend makes me so happy. They obviously dont see me as a threat (theyve watched me put out food a billion times) and are getting more comftrable near me...

So after yesterdays win! You cannot imagine my happines over seeing 7 crows sitting in the trees above my feedingspot. Ive max seen 5 at the same time in all the time ivebeen doing this! So I grabbed ahandfull of peanuts, and went down to the feeding rock. Once I put down the nuts and whistled (as i usually do to let them know the food has been placed)

THE COOLES MOST EPIC THING THATS EVER HAPPENED TO ME HAPPENED

Out of the forest came 20-30 CROWS, They flew so close and low and flew past me out over the water and then back onto a few trees further away. It was literally a scene from a movie. Ive never seen anything like it.

I dont know what this means? they were so quiet and usually crows makesounds if they feel threatened. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?!?!

I do think they recognizeme since I always wearmy bright pink pj hoodie when I goto feed them... What do u think this means????

Was this an initiation or just a coincidense? I usually see 1-2 crows in the tree, Ive been feeding them 1-2 peanuts a day. I know its them who eat it cuz the magpies in my area cant carry them, and there is tw crowshit left on the stones.

These are WILD hooded crows btw, the ones in central town are way more brave, minelive in theforest and are very wary of everything.

AAAAAH IM GOING CRAZY IT WAS SO COOL

Crows are my favourite creature ever, theyre the coolest and i love them if that wasnt obvoius

Dark beak and legs, so leucism rather than albinism I think. The others didn't seem bothered by it at all

I've been leaving nuts on my balcony railings and the local crows clear them out quickly, but they like the knock them off and make a mess. I got a little container thing but they don't seem to be willing to take anything from it?

Rural crows are so different from city crows. I’ve started putting out raw peanuts on fence posts for the crows. It’s hard to get friendly with rural crows.

I may have lured over a crow from across the street using a few pepperoni slices. I promise this is not a regular occurrence and I know that too much pepperoni would not be good for them. But he cached these slices so he will certainly be back for them!

Seeking advice/help Found a crow that can't fly (UK based) help please

*update* Took it to a Medivet and they just called me saying that they've put the bird to sleep because it was emaciated and too far gone. Said it seemed like it hadn't eaten for days. I feel terrible now because maybe I should have kept it at home and tried to nurse it to health.

Hi! I found a crow today that I think needs help. My young dog found it, and usually crows fly away immediately as soon as she gets anywhere near...this one didn't. It hopped away and when it tried to fly it would tilt to one side and only manage a small hop and glide.

The park keepers said that it came to them yesterday and went inside their office, but they couldn't catch it.

It was quite reluctant on me getting it, but once I had it it didn't struggle.

It has some feathers picked out from behind its neck and it looks to be quite skinny and possibly young?

I have it in a cardboard box with holes and some water, in my bathroom in the dark because I thought it was quite stressed after getting caught, but I'm pretty certain that it needs help.

Will be calling some rescues now, but what else can I do? Did I do the right thing or did I take a bird that doesn't need help and should put it back? Any advice would be much appreciated!
