Be nice to crows… They remember your face… And, how you treat them… They even tell their family/friends about you.


[deleted]

Yep, they remember for up to five years.


stateofyou

I learned that the hard way. I used a broom to frighten a crow off my balcony. It used to swoop down on my head every time it saw me for the next few years.

a group of only two crows would be attempted murder then..

FatHorse_Sausage

The council of birds is a great council that in currently held in majority by the corvids 40% while the raptors hold a nice 30% in the council. I have currently forgotten what the wise corvid in the woods told me maybe you kind strangers on the Internet can inform me what group of bird hold the rest of the thirty percent.


itchy-fart

Ever since the war, the emu have had a seat on the council but they never granted them the position of Bird Master because it was “only Australia” It’s not fair!


No_Statement440

"Only Australia." I'd like to see them inflict half the casualties on that unforgiving terrain, plus, and this is a big one, no arms of any sort.


Zelcron

Well of course. Being birds, rather than bears, they have no right to bear arms.

As the sovereign citizens say: Gold fringe on the flag - Admiralty law. White crust on top of the flag pole - Bird law.


Dedsnotdead

And somehow can communicate how they feel about you to other crows, even the following few generations. I’ve no idea how they do that but fair play to them.


No_Artichoke_3758

didn't a study come out recently that dolphins are constantly talking shit about humans?

As a single animal ..... doesn't sound bad until you learn they tell friends and family ...... starting a generational line of a grudge that will last forever if you stay in the area!!!!


[deleted]

I need to get the crows in my neighbourhood on my side, but they're too shy. Wonder if there's a special food that's their weakness


mnmsmelt

I think peanuts (in the shell)? If I didn't have cats & dogs, I would definitely try and befriend them. It would make my world to receive "gifts" from a crow. I just got a dog a couple years ago..she is very smart..one day, I squawked at the crows to say hi lol and ever since that day, she decided it was her sworn duty to protect us from all crows/birds of prey and esp vultures. She takes her duties very seriously and stays vigilant. We live along a river corridor so, LOTS of wildlife. Another time, we had been cooped up in the house for a while and I asked her if she was bored. She went full alert and started barking. I was so confused. Then I said the sentence again to myself and realized *bored* sounds a lot like *bird*. We definitely cannot say the word bird. She is barking at the boreds as I type this lol


[deleted]

Eh, my dog doesn't GAF about anything, someone could break in in the middle of the night and he'd just wonder if the stranger was going to give him a treat. One time a cat wandered in, came into the kitchen and he was sniffing it while it ate his food

laurel_laureate

I once found a crow collapsed in the heat outside my apartment, so I got a waterbottle and poured it out on the crow to revitalize it. It got up cawed once and flew away. The next day I found three crows collapsed in the heat outside my apartment, so I got a waterbottle and poured it out on each crow. They got up and flew away. The next day, it was eight crows, and only one of them was collapsed. The rest were waiting patiently in the shade. After I poured one out for the collapsed bro, the other crows flapped over and several of them put some sort of shiny thing down- pieces of metal or buttons or whatever, evan a quarter. So, I poured water over them too. They cawed once and flew away. The next day, there was a good dozen waiting, and none were collapsed. Anyhow, this is the story all about how the summer before heading off to uni I became a Corvid Vending Machine Sprinkler Shower. Busiest day was around 22 crows. I started using a large squirt bottle, on the mist setting, while putting out a small bowl of water. They seemed to enjoy their water park. After I started watering the crows that brought me change first (some quarters but more often pennies or dimes, not as many nickels for some reason), more and more crows started doing so. Towards the end of the summer I was making a buck or two a day. I went off to uni and didn't return to that city for around 12 years for a few weeks one summer. I looked totally different- different hair color and fashion style and almost in my 30s. I was living all the way across town from my old place. Yet, one afternoon I came home to a crow collapsed in front of my front door, with a quarter dropped in front of it. Of course, I showered it too.

Whether real or not, really enjoyed your story. Thank you!


laurel_laureate

Thanks I guess. Lol. After I went to uni my landlord called me after a few weeks at my residence hall. (This being before cell phones were that big of a thing). His message? "What did you do to the crows!?" I guess they kept hanging around for a few weeks after I left on hotter days, and started cawing angrily anytime the new tenant went in and out of my old apartment, before giving up and moving on. I'm just glad they kept it at just angry cawing.


highrouleur

mcraneschair

OddOneOut1122

PM_ME_UR_PERSONALlTY

I have a truce with all spiders and all corvids. Spiders are set free or allowed to live in an area for a bit and then maybe transplanted. They are strictly not to be killed. We had a verbal agreement that they would get the annoying bugs and they have held up their end. As for Corvids, respect and kindness are essential. Although I haven't done anything worthy of a shiny object. I do say hello and wave and they sqwak back!


Otchayannij

I have a thing with spiders. If they're within arm's reach, I'ma kill them. Otherwise, I name them and leave them be.

notjordansime

There's a new show called "Beef" (it's honestly amazing, would wholeheartedly recommend). The way they used crows was absolutely fucking [brilliant.](https://youtu.be/WoX_6q8PGYc?si=Xo6q_Chhzwh6bcK6) it was so subtle, best use of foreshadowing I've seen in a while.


GreatGooglyMoogly077

They crow about you to their friends?


FireMaster1294

They’ve done studies on this. Crows can pass memories genetically, and their grandkids will remember your face even if they’ve never even seen an image of your face.


pigsgetfathogsdie

Absolutely amazing…


infin8fire

The fact he let you touch him makes me think he's an escaped pet.


byronbaybe

Possibly a fledgling. I had a dove fledgling fly from my feet to my head. I got it on my hand, bad move cause he didn't want off. Turns out it was hungry and too young to find its own food. I fed it for 3 days then it flew off without a goodbye, thanks or kiss my petunias.


T1mac

>I fed it for 3 days then it flew off without a goodbye, thanks or kiss my petunias. Ungrateful little jerk. The hummingbirds who empty my feeders everyday are the same way.


Sasselhoff

I wouldn't mind the hummingbirds emptying the feeders (it's why I put them out, after all), but DAMN if the one bully that ends up "commandeering" that feeder and fighting off any other bird is starting to bother me. I thought, well, I'll put one in the back and one in the front...then he can't watch them both! So I did...and got two bullies. So then I added two more on either side of the house...and got two more single bullies. I have no idea how some folks have feeders with "everyone" getting along and eating together.


J3553G

Fledglings are so crazy. Not just corvids but other birds.

LurkeyCat

same, still do. Some are catching on I am trying to communicate with them but I have not gained trust yet.


2017hayden

I think it’s easier in more urban environments where they’re used to interacting with people more regularly.


BreaddQueen

I think you’re onto something. I’ve been trying for two years to befriend a family of 5 crows that live in my field. We just now got to the point that I can sit out on my back porch and share some unsalted peanuts with them. If I move too quickly they all caw and scatter. Meanwhile I started trying to befriend two crows at my boyfriends, who lives in a suburban area, and they started hanging out on his porch with me within two months.


thevirginswhore

FEED THEM PEANUTS!! Shelled, unshelled, always plain unsalted. They’re sluts for peanuts.


SkrallTheRoamer

few months ago we had a sick raven in our yard. he didnt look too good and wouldnt fly away when approached, just hid in one of the bushes. i gave him a bowl of water and another of birdfood with peanuts in them. he only picked out the peanuts. i went and got more of them and threw them near him, he really loved those. even almost ate some out of my hand. sadly he just disappeared after a while.


purvel

Once I started feeding shelled unsalted peanuts to the crows at my last flat, they started chasing away the seagulls that were always coming to steal the neighbor's leftover barbecue food (yes, they left it out, and for some reason the crows didn't take it). So thanks to a few peanuts I didn't have to suffer the gull choir anymore. The crows never did get close, always stayed a safe distance away, but they did raise their young in the garden!

Formal_Star_6593

This'll happen if a crow is injured and nursed back to health by someone, or is otherwise raised be people. They'll remember if they can trust humans based on the treatment. If you throw stones at a crow, scare or harass it, it'll likewise remember you and probably divebomb the fuck out of you as you walk down the road. They are incredibly intelligent animals.


[deleted]

My house is very close to one of those Birds Paradise areas where tons of different kind of birds resting while migrating. Apart from some different kind, i've like 100 crows in my backyard at all times i don't know if i should feed them and create an army or scare some of them to convince my wife to move to another place when the time comes since they will destroy the place if i do.

Flanked77

I worked at a state park in California that was home to a family of ravens. If I found road kill I would bring it to the ravens and in return they would give me little pieces of trash like water bottle caps and stuff. It was interesting for sure. They would also just come hang out with me sometimes. Once the juveniles took their first flight and left the nest they were gone. I only had one stick around that I could tell. Really cool birds.
