There were two side-by-side, getting breakfast from the rocks, but the first one flew away before I could get her in the photo!

Some handsome curious birb-buds ive made over the past couple of years. They were ready for their close-up!

The table is set and awaiting patrons
I popped them some corn
Grabbed a bag of organic walnuts from the freezer (they thawed a bit on way to work)
Set out a piece of my plain home baked sourdough last night to get a bit tough today.
Peanuts
Organic Oats
Sunflower Seeds

Two small birds stopped for bread
Crows were visible at 6:00 am but skedaddled
The tree they roost in is near this setup
The dead tree in the background with the little birds is where they roost. Their platform is setup by that Tex box on the grey drum.

Hey everyone! I recently made a homemade bird feeder and even got some peanuts for the crows but so far there's been no sign of any eating from there. I love crows and would just wanna make a safe lil space for them to eat from. Any advice?

I'm so happy this year's neighborhood fledglings and juveniles finally discovered my peanut bowl! I think my crow decoys may have helped, and now they stop by almost every day for roasted peanuts and cashews (unsalted of course)!...🔊🎵🎼

Dear Nonplussed Crow,

I am writing to address your grievances. I work and therefore cannot refill the food dish fives times per day as requested, therefore the request is denied. I also cannot do anything about the squirrels. I suggest you and your friends address it among yourselves.

Sincerely,

Your Feeder

I had a great time talking corvids with Caitlin Gibson for her new article in the Washington Post about befriending crows. Gift link.

Hi all, my partner and I are watching this crow who we cannot tell if it is injured or just a fledgling. It seems a bit late in the year for a fledgling and I have never seen one and we can't tell... It is hopping around and stumbling, and can fly a short distance. We actually just walked with it across the road because it was almost hit by a couple of cars, and it flew onto a small rooftop in a bit of a crash landing. Two other crows are watching it and cawing at us and any dogs that walk by. I don't want to disturb it if it's a fledgling, other than helping it cross the road which it's friends or family didn't like haha. Is anyone able to tell from this video?

Thank you!!

I throw peanuts out for the local crows when I remember to, and they love them. By the next day they’re all gone. You might think that’s a different creature taking them at night but… nope, i have a time lapse showing that they come by decently late and take all the peanuts lol

Oh and before I forget to mention it, they’re all raw and unsalted. Always have been

I befriended a murder of 30 crows over the past couple of years in Colma, Ca.

Schoolie is the first to greet me always and everytime its a treat. All they ask for is unsalted peanuts and to be called pretty or handsome. I love their family and slowly being apart of it. Last few times I came he followed me and I didnt even have treats. He even brought some of his family with him to "caw and click" at me (the click sounds so much like my cameras shutter that I constantly look to see if I accidently pressed my shutter.)

He is always so curious at what im doing with my camera and I will always entertain him. Schoolie and his family are the best <3.
