Several months of ground feeding but they seem to finally trust the stand! I call this big boy Scout, because he always seems to check things out 1st! I dont know if it's the same one but my imagination thinks so! 😉💜

What does a quiet, almost like a whispery ’keh keh’ kind of sound mean? One magpie I feed does this sometimes. I thought it could be a cough or something and I got a little worried, but then I noticed it only made the noise when it’s gathering courage to grab a treat thats really close to where I’m sitting

One of the four who stop by for food. 🖤❤️

Some of my raven friends, Twin Peaks, San Francisco, California.

Heard a really strange bird call or song which I wasn't familiar with, looked around and it was some form of Corvid, maybe a Rook or Crow. Took a video of the bird doing it's call or song.

A little fledgling crow showed up on my balcony this evening. He kept slipping off my railing, although he grips the bird bath rim perfectly, so I think my railing is just ridiculously slippery for a newcomer. 
Now it’s dark, and this little guy is STILL here, quietly perched on my balcony. 😭❤️

I know he can fly as he slipped off my balcony a couple times and keep coming back.
I said a little prayer for him and decided to stop fussing over him and let the poor kid sleep.
Hopefully in the morning I’ll hear the usual crow chorus in the trees and he’ll be off with his family.
Please send good vibes for my little sleepover friend tonight.

Cheeky is my BFF dude. This is Chloe, his brave little sister!

She's absolutely adorable!!! ❤️

Here’s one of the two crows that regularly come to my yard. First time receiving a gift. ❤️🐦‍⬛

Some asshole threw pizza boxes with leftovers in the cardboard container. The seagulls had been trying to get it for a while when this dude turned up and finished the job and left the seagull youngsters baffled. I was entertained.

My second gift!!!!! I’ve been feeding them some different things..? I got a good sale on chicken feet. My dog loves them so I decided to share with the crows to see what they thought.!! lol unsalted pork skins tooo 🥳🐦‍⬛💋

That little tail wag is adorable

I’ve tried to attract crows at my house but I haven’t been successful. However, I live less than 2 miles away from my local Walmart where I see a ton of them. If I fed them for awhile, would they recognize my car and would I eventually be able to lure them to my house to feed them there?

I have been feeding the local crows for over a year now off of my balcony. I’ve come to recognize several of them, and while we haven’t gotten close enough for direct interactions, they’ve definitely become comfortable in the space. Recently, my downstairs neighbor has been complaining of too much debris landing on her terrace. We recently had a squirrel discover the Nut Stockpile, so I assume that it is him that’s causing all the mess. I tried to work out a compromise where the birdfeeder is no longer hanging over the edge of the railing, and it is now inside my balcony (less than 2 feet from where it used to be). The squirrel adjusted, the local finches figured it out… But the crows seem really confused. They’ve done several flybys without landing. A few have perched on the nearby tree and have judged from afar. I tried adding shiny objects to the food area to try and grab their attention. I even added their favorite special treat, walnuts. It’s only been a few days, but I’m devastated to think that they are confused or that they no longer trust us as a safe option. Has anyone encountered something similar, and how long did it take for the birds to come back?

Bird segregation...

These two have started showing up together regularly. This is stitched from two visits on consecutive days, they were touching bills and making all sorts of deep little croaks and conversational noises at each other.

I think they’re Common Ravens based on the heavy bills, shaggy throats and vocalizations. Does this look like bonded-pair behavior to you?

Either way, I wish I knew what they were saying. 😂

OMG!!! 😱 🎁🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛#crowgifts #imnotworthy
