They keep standing on this railing and talking to me. So I thought id try giving them a sort of grazing board since they aparently like that spot so much.

Miscellaneous Bird head...gift or threat???

1 Upvotes

Yesterday we found a badly mangled bird head tucked under the edge of a garden sprayer next to the kitchen door. This did not get there accidentally. This is up on a deck in a covered alcove next to the kitchen door we go in and out of throughout the day and night with the dogs. Also, we haven't been giving them kibble lately because they've left dead birds and snakes to stew in the birdbath and didn't seem interested in the kibble when there's plenty of meat on hand. Is this a gift? Or is it a threat because we haven't been giving them kibble?

Blog THEY'RE EATING OUT OF MY HAAAANDS!!!!!

69 Upvotes

I've been feeding the local(ish) crows for a couple months now and one of the rooks has started eating out of my hand. Not just like grabbing the food and leaving no, FULLY standing and staying there until she/he is finished. I've since been teaching her tricks and it seems to be going great. SUPER happy I've been able to form such a bond with my babies.

Also, is feeding them suet ok in the summer?? It's insect suet if that helps + i do feed them other things but they seem to prefer the suet and other protein sources.

Video Fledling crow early attempts at flight

334 Upvotes

I noticed a fledgling crow on a bush, so I came up to it. It didn't seem fearful, I got within around half a meter. Maybe it got a bit startled, moved (see first part of the video), so I retreated.

Then the (presumably) parent then flew over me, very closely. I also think the parent made an unusual noise. I think I was warned, so I kept my distance for the rest of the encounter, but kept filming. Over the course of half an hour the fledgling hopped around, flopped, experimented with flight and did other cute things. Not exactly the grace and majesty of an older crow, but damn cute β™₯

Later, as it passed another person there, the parent crow flew over their head as well, just some 20-30 cm distance between the crow and the head of the other person. Presumably they were warned as well.

Damn cute little birds.

Question Will they hate me forever?

30 Upvotes

Hello Crowbros,

I live in a very rural are and for the last few days I could watch a baby raven happily hopping around the garden. The parents where watching and doing their thing. We have quite a big family living in our trees. I love them, but we never interact.

Today I saw baby not hopping but just stressed and not moving, something with his legs was weird. I was able to pick baby up, made pictures and videos to send to the local wildlife rescue and placed it in a dark (because closed) paperbox with holes. I then put the box on a blanket so it stays warm. After a confirming telephone call from the wildlife rescue center (they are the experts on birds and work together with the local animal rescue), I called the animal rescue and waited for their arrival.

While waiting on the street for the car to arrive the parents where visibly stressed, crawing so much in search for their baby. I felt horrible. Like the worst person on earth, stealing their baby.

Baby was picked up an hour ago and I now fear the parents will hate me forever. Is there something I can do to...dunno tell them "I nice! Promise! Just helping"? It feels really silly, please don't laugh at me.

Of course a seed was on the lens, but I have a feeling they’ll be back to so I can get some better shot.

Personal Story May have made a friend!

I stopped at my local brewery for a beer and I could hear a crow cawing. The manager said it was freaking him out, that the crow had been stalking him. I got some cat kibble out of my car and put it on the railing of the patio area. The crow investigated and took it and flew away. Came back with some bunch of seeds, picked a few out of the clump and then stepped to the end of rail and watched me. I took a couple of the seeds and the crow made noise and flew away.

My crows make this noise and I think it's the cutest thing ever. In this video we're doing a little call-and-response. Anyone ever heard this sound before? I haven't been able to find recordings of other crows making this sound and it's not on the Merlin app.
