You mean the "crow family"? Yes, the jay and the crows are relatives. Both belong to the "Corvidae" family.

Maybe through time, but that's not puzzle solving, that's trying to go through plastic and failing, and stumbling until the whole thing loses it's structure. But, probably that in the future, if exposed to the same puzzle, they'll find a better and faster way to find the food and actually solve it.

Crows may peck for a variety of reasons, including: Aggression Crows may peck aggressively due to boredom, stress, overcrowding, bright lights, high temperatures, poor ventilation, parasites, or dietary deficiencies. Aggressive pecking can be difficult to stop once it's established in a flock because it's a learned behavior. Family dynamics Crows are opinionated and have flocks that are similar to families, with some crows being related and others bonded to the group. Like human families, crows may occasionally fight among themselves, but these fights usually don't last long. Crows may also dislike a single bird outside of the family if they think it's encroaching on their territory, or if they believe it's sick or injured and could attract predators. Protection Crows may peck as a warning to stay away from their young. They may also defend their nests from predators, such as hawks, by chasing them away or even physically attacking them. Territory Crows may peck at windows or other objects if they can see their own reflection and think it's a threat to their territory. Crows may also view humans as a threat if they've invaded their territory or accidentally offended them. Other reasons Crows may peck at roofs to crack nuts or look for insects, which could indicate a problem with wood-boring insects. They may also dig in grass to look for chafer beetles, an invasive pest that spends nine months of its life cycle as grubs feeding on lawns.

I think a tree nest is more likely to be robbed by predators. No rodent will climb up a pylon, and approaching birds of prey can be spotted early. I think the main disadvantage is that they are directly exposed to the weather. The sun can probably be worse than the rain. Last weekend I counted four crow chicks again, and the kestrels are still incubating the eggs (although I have observed one egg being stolen by a crow).

@@kestrelsandcrows6871 guess you'll have to wait & see how successful the kestrel nest is? Being close to the crows will definitely help protect against other predatory birds, crows will drive pretty much any bird off, but the crows themselves are also a threat. If the male kestrel can provide enough food that the female doesn't have to leave often, they should be ok I think? Lots can go wrong though, just have to watch & be patient.

The territorial conflict with the crows was going on for a long time. At the moment both females, the magpie and the crow, are sitting in their nests. I hope that they are all peaceful now.

Crows & magpies have a close, but strange, relationship. I've seen them cooperate in driving predators away, seen them help defend each other's nests against jays, even seen a crow save a magpie that had been caught by a sparrowhawk, but I've also seen crows destroy magpie nests like this & bully magpies for no reason. Maybe it was too close to the crows nest, maybe the crow is just asserting dominance because it can, maybe both?

I don't know where the crows have their nest now. In 2022, the crows built their nest 50 meters away, and they probably still consider it their territory. Earlier this year, there was a failed breeding attempt in the old crows nest. But I don't know which pair, and also I don't know why it failed. Maybe it was the cold weather and the fact that it was too early, but maybe the magpies were somehow involved. We just don't know. I don't think the magpies are the most experienced pair. They have enough experience to build several nests in a season. But I suspect they are still learning. The magpies have learnt from the crow incident. The new nest has two exits so that the female cannot be trapped inside.

@@corvusaeternus yes, a big female sparrowhawk had caught a magpie & was trying to kill it. This can take a few minutes, as magpies fight hard. 2 or 3 other magpies were trying to chase the sparrowhawk off, but were too scared to go near. A male crow heard the noise & swooped in to attack the sparrowhawk with no hesitation, he was angry lol. The sparrowhawk flew off & they all chased her, leaving the magpie that had been attacked to fly into a nearby tree & make distress sounds. It was interesting to observe. This was on a farm I used to work at, the crows & magpies had a strong relationship, but the crows always wanted to be boss, sometimes they would annoy or bully the magpies for no real reason I could see, tho they did not harm them.

Thank you for your nice comment. I also offered walnuts, half cracked. But crows and magpies know how to crack walnuts. They fly up high and drop the walnuts from above. The walnuts hit on the ground and crack open. My local crows take peanuts first. The magpies have different preferences and take cashew nuts first. Unfortunately the crows did not visit for months now. As far as I know they did not have offspring in 2023. I hope to see them again. Since a couple of days I see a pair of crows visiting the old nest from 2022. So far I could not recognize if it is the same pair.

@@kestrelsandcrows6871 That's a pity, they did not come. I never give peanuts because I found out they are toxic. Dr. Eric Berg explains why here,www.youtube: com/watch?v=ejACsiPCgak. I had budgies 1/3 of my life as a child and I knew birds are very sensitive to chemicals. I buy organic walnuts cheaply from a local person, many kilos and ordinary hemp and sunflower seeds and organic or biodynamic bread corn that I soak, but this I do very seldom. It is maybe a bit too expensive. I also never give them salty things or white non organic bread. I saw now magpies with hanging wings and this comes from the bread. I see the crows hold on to the nut and crack it open, but if I don't open it a bit, they would probably have to drop it from high. Maybe I should give them a few in the end to hide.

Transparent glass, Pillivuyt porcelain or a stone bath is lead free. If it is big, they will take baths too, and if filled up to the rim. They love half-cracked walnuts and seeds with the peel left. They just gobble it up. I never give white bread to them, only seeds and sometimes homemade prganic sourdough bread. They get a little crow sandwich with butter and dipped in hemp seeds.

@kestrelsandcrows6871 9 ай бұрын
I am not an expert, but I don't think it will join wild crows. Probably it also depends on the age at which the crow fell out of the nest. But a pet crow will most likely be an outsider in the crow community. That's my guess, after reading books and blogs about crows. I've read that people often get problems later, when their pet bird is getting older. Raising a crow baby should be done by professional bird rehabilitators. They know what needs to be done for a successful release into the wild.
