@@KrariTheCrow I'm sure he/she will . But at the end of the day I gave him/she a good start to life and a little encouragement too. It also brought some joy into the face of the locals and children when they saw the birdman and his crow. But if I never see him/ her again I'll always have the memories and some truly beautiful photos of me and my crow friend. Have a wonderful day week and year and my your bird friends fill you with a joy no one else can give . And as trigger would say TTFN.

An addition to the looking at them. I noticed that my adult crows who have known me for more than a year seem to not mind me looking at them from one meter away. The exception is while they are feeding. If I look at them during their favorite activity (taking as much food in their beak as somehow possible) then they often interrupt picking up the food, look at me and wait. The less brave, less familiar crows often fly towards my balcony and turn around in the last moment when they notice that I happen to be looking in the direction of their intended landing spot. The young crows do not even approach food on the lawn while I am looking at them from the balcony (with no possibility to get closer to them) if that food is close to the balcony. I guess crows feel especially vulnerable during picking up food. This does make sense as they are much less capable to watch their surroundings then.

I love Crow very much..m❤❤❤

👍💪✌️ Thank you!

I'm sure you get a ton of messages, but I finally made friends with some crows at my work. Today I stuck my hand out and let them see my very glittery nails. He looked and them and made a very low "ooowaaa" sounding noise twice, grabbed some peanuts I left for him and few away. WHAT DOES OOOWWWAAAA MEAN?!?! Lol I cried I was so happy.

mine does the same.. 2 times I got food. Calls the companion to pick up her share. BEFORE snacking it means I am here. after eating it means..he is happy he got food..many videos out there with all sounds..., As research continues, the term "bird brain" no longer carries a negative connotation.

I actually got friendlier with one of the fledglings than the parents this (my first) season. Parents still flee my gaze and will mostly be at a distance in the surrounding trees while I am out. If I have forgotten to feed them (I'm quite erratic, especially now that the parents aren't direct-feeding their fledglings), one of the fledglings can come alone, land on the edge of the roof directly above my head, and do some small-talk. Naturally it pays off greatly when he or she does...

@LarsJAas

It was actually quite fun to see the fledglings this summer, carelessly walking around the feeding place, being fed and eating themselves, while the parents seemed to focus on trying to teach them to be extremely cautious when approaching the food. Totally understandable behavior, but it shows the fledglings seem to trust my place and my food more than the parents would like. Too bad the fledglings will probably have to find their own territory in another year or so.

@KrariTheCrow

Yes unfortunately the fledglings will have to leave in spring. It is always so much fun to have them around!

These are great tips. I’m in the process of befriending a pair of crows now. I live on the edge of a small German village and a pair has nested for years in some trees near my house. One of them will fly down and land several feet away to wait for some treats. The other watches from the tree and flies down as soon as I turn my back on the food. They clearly treat other humans differently than me, so I take their trust very seriously. Nice content, thanks for posting.

Thank you for explaining this. Ive been making friend with Edgar, Allan and Poe for a couple years now. This video explained many of the behaviours I've seen on my 3 feathery friends...

Great job.

I call all my crows Dandolo. I’ve had a lot of crows some as pets for rehabilitation and all the wild ones now I called them down. I only had one crow they could say his name so clearly but deep voice I’ll never forget that.

Thank you so much for disse fantastiske video 🤗🥰

Thank you for good advice! I am in the early process of befriending a rural crow in a farming landscape in Norway. I scared "him" the first time we had any contact, but not too much it seems. Today I saw him landing in my yard for the first time, checking the area. I think he already keeps track of my car to see if I´m home or not 🙂

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lovely video ❤ The natural world is far more interesting than our world !

I had a magpir friend for a few months last year. I found him/her in the grass, as a chick, when mowing the lawn and couldn't find the nest, so I built a makeshift nest on my veranda (porch) and fed it every time I heard it screaming. If it wasn't in the nest screaming at the top of its tiny lungs for food, it was hopping around the porch and in the garden eating bugs or playing with the dogs. Eventually, it figured out how to fly and would follow me and my dogs around when we went on walks, gliding at knee height, I guess it felt like one of the dogs. I knew it was going to leave soon when it was capable of flying 19kms into town and locating my car at work. Sometimes, I wouldn't see it for days, and it would reapear at home looking for food or playing with the dogs, with a flock of magpies in tow. It eventually stopped visiting, but l left the nest outside in case he/she needed it again.

So amazing! That is a wonderful story, thank you for sharing!!

Thank you! After losing a couple of our dear chickens to hawk predation and learning that crows help keep hawks at bay, we started trying to charm crows into our garden. One day, the hawk was circling above the coop and the crows flew in and started circling there too! The hawks took off! We hear the hawks less and less each day. The crows are not only livestock guardians...they are friends. It will be a dream for them to come close.

I haven’t been at my house since November 2022. It’s May 2024 I went into my backyard this morning and the crows arrived on the wires overhead as they always did when I would feed them breakfast. I was overwhelmed and amazed

for 3 or 4 years local crows passionately hate my neighbor and we don't know why . the same crow will swoop in from behind and peck his head even make a mess of his trash bags but never touch other people 's bags. i can even tell when he's outside because all the crows gather on the power line and let him know they're not happy with him it's hilarious

4-30-24 It is 8:00 AM this morning I decided to get closer this year to a crow I named last year called duck. He has a notable clack that sounds like a duck this is how we call to each other. Duck, duck, crow is a north eastern American fish crow that lives around water and he knows his name and me. Your video was extremely important and inspiring. I will see if I can feed him this year and his mate who has a softer clacking.

You produce all of your videos in the most beautifully artful way.

Здравствуйте. Вы замечательный блогер. Очень ценные съемки ворон вблизи. Я благодарю вас за советы. Я кормлю ворон рядом с работой. Меня всегда ждет одна ворона. Она громко зовет своих друзей, когда видит меня. Я сыплю арахис на землю и ухожу в сторону. Начинается шоу. На выходных я не хожу на работу и не кормлю их. Я волнуюсь в это время. Вороны удивительные создания. Их полет похож на военный самолёт. Виртуозные виражи. Часто они летают просто для радости. Гоняются друг за другом. Играют. Невероятные.❤

1. Can I feed well boiled tender pig meat? this in breeding time, as many proteins and no additives. and 2. how about dried dog food, that is always!, all brands are with A, E and D added.. I do not want to overdose with Vit. A, that accumulates in the liver.. How many gramms a day of such dried dog food snack, Vit. and preservatives added!, needs a grown male crow a day to be fully fed, full? as, an US site claimed...that a 740 g male crow needs like up to 360 g a day of food.. that seems too much..what do you think? thanks for all advice in advance. Your videos are excellent, learned a lot by watching and your voice is soothing, no wonder the birds linger on.

Pig meat and dog food is fine. I do not know about the grams per day, I would just recommend to remember, you are not responsible for the full diet of the birds. You are just supporting them. A handful of food a day is enough.

thank you krari for posting this i am trying to get crowes from north west florida to visit my back yard there alot blue jays an squirls i have been feeding still waiting to see a crow i hear an see them yet non yet visit the back yard .

There's a crow that will now land on my 3rd floor window sill for a chat and a snack. I'll try to get him to eat out of me hand by ignoring him

Thank you for sharing your insight and knowledge about befriending crows. Do you have any advice on how to get crows to move into your area? My husband works on a farm that is about 10 miles from where we live. We also live on a farm, but we don't "farm" so to speak. He says there are crows where he works, but only 10 miles away where we live I have never seen a crow. I would love to get them to come and start living around where we live. Can I also ask, how long did it take to befriend these crows? Your video shows you feeding them in the winter and the summer. Does this take months? years? I would just like to know a rough timeframe we would be looking at before the crows would be comfortable around us and take food from our hands.

Try mirrored sunglasses, they're pretty vain sometimes eh?
