I mean, I do recommend crows, but this is more of an ask (I just wanted to add a picture to the post lol)
There are several crows that hang out at my clinic and I want to give them treats. What can I give them so they know Iโm friend? ๐ฅบ

This instagram account has been leaving out assorted food mixes for crows they seem to love nuts and water and are smart enough to figure out if food is hidden under toys
I have befriended many crows!!!! I like to give them a lil snack treat, I've found that they like granola a lot! I tend to avoid anything thats highly processed for personal reasons, but crows will kind of eat anything. They're super intelligent and will remember your face and your vibe! They'll come back to your meeting place and wait for you, after they get to know you they'll do a little happy dance when you show up! They like having back and forth cawwing conversations. Once they build a connection w you, they'll want to show it off to their friends, who will watch from a distance until you build a connection with them. After a little while they'll bring you treasures from their adventures, and they'll watch out for you from above ๐
give em a nod and greet them with a "Corvid" like thats their name and we're old pals, occasionally apologise for not having a snack for them and dig around in my pocket for any possible shinnies to gift em
will also sit at my window with my cat trash talking shit to the crows nest on the tree outside cause birds are cool but i gotta have my babes back๐
in high school i befriended a local murder (๐ฆโโฌ) by regularly going to the same spot at around the same time and tossing peanuts for them to eat. eventually, theyโd be waiting for me to show up before i even got there. iโd keep a big bag of dollar store peanuts in my bag and eat my lunch while i fed them theirs.
im theorizing that any formula of
[food - must be good for crows] x [same spot + time] = crow friends
they are pretty smart and recognize faces so maybe theyโll still show up at irregular times if even one of them sees you and attracts more? love to see/hear any updates on what you end up doing !!
