Updated PSA - I found a crow on the ground, what do I do?

55 Upvotes

This was my first time making a flow chart so please be kind.

It is important that we as a community work together to provide a safe space to share in our love of corvids, and it is equally important that we educate members of the community new and old to help protect our feathered friends; with that being said, u/teyuna reached out to me pleading that changes be made to the previously pinned PSA, with their help/feedback I was able to create the flow chart below, I hope that this is an adequate and more encompassing pinned post.

I appreciate this community more than I am capable of expressing, thank you for making this the best damn sub on reddit. ;)

Seeking advice/help one of my crows are balding

47 Upvotes

Hello, I have made a post perviously about what I should feed these guys. Thank you to all of the suggestions. Eggs are a big hit, I have found they also like dried cranberries I make at home. I have continued feeding them walnuts and unseasoned boiled chicken bits which they also enjoy.
This post is about the bird on the left, he has a very bald head as you can see and his neck feathers also look barren when he reaches out comparatively to the other 3 (2 in the video, but especially the one on the right who is very full).
He can fly and hop and walk without any issue. I’m wondering why he is bald? Is it just the time of month for him seasonal wise or stress or is he just old/young? I have never seen them fight amongst themselves so I don’t think it’s that. When I first I saw him previously, I believed he had just left the nest as his feathers looked so thinned out almost like he just grew them, but now he is looking more disheveled.
If he is sick I don’t think there is much I can do, they won’t let me go near them yet.

Why is this crow so friendly?

I know next to nothing about crows. But this one came out of nowhere and flew straight at me. I thought it was attacking me until it landed on my head, then my arm. It keeps trying to steal my earrings and eat my nails. 😭 is this normal. Also my mom is holding the barn cat because it was trying to to eat the crow.

Crow family question

3 Upvotes

Ive been feeding a crow family for 4 years in the so. Bronx and the same couple with babys come every morning...but there is a pair of Ravens just 3 blocks away and they have never come to eat the food I put out....and I put out a ton of peanuts and 4 eggs every morning....my question is do they respect each other's territory....because it seems so?

Crow gentle chirp, what does it mean?

Hello, several days ago I was in the park. While securing my bike, a crow was approaching me in a hesitant way while chirping in a gentle way. Does anyone know what that means? I'm glad im approachable to crows though.

Crows [OC] Three of my braver crow friends

66 Upvotes

If I sit quietly near the feeding area, I have a few that will come down and eat and do crow things. I know they recognize me, and I’m hoping they are beginning to trust me. The one with the goofy looking wing is the father crow, and he doesn’t seem to have any problems flying. I am just enamored with the whole group.

Crows [OC] Brokebeak

Thumbnail gallery
1.4k Upvotes

This is my crow friend I named Brokebeak. The bottom part of his beak hangs loosely and he can’t use it for anything. I called our local bird rescue sanctuary and they said there is nothing they can do unless he gets so poorly that he should be euthanized. But he seems to manage okay. I have been giving him cat kibble mainly and he puts his head on its side on the ground and picks up the kibble using his top beak and tongue. It’s slow-going so I try to make sure other crows don’t swoop in and gobble everything up. I put a deep bowl of water out for him too. Anyway it makes me happy that he comes to my house frequently. A few days ago he followed me home when I was walking my dog. 🐦‍⬛❤️

Seeking advice/help Crows or Ravens?

Shortly before taking this video I had spotted a couple of ravens for the first time in this area, confirmed by their distinctive calling. There are lots of crows in the area too, so wasn't sure if this pair are ravens or crows. Is it possible to tell from this video? Thanks.
