How to attract crows to your window

[@ChelleLlewes]

I carry raw peanuts for them, and they follow me around town. If they're hungry, they do a fly-past at head level...from behind...and then land right in front of me. I think if I gave them egg yolks, they'd want to move in with me...and my condo won't allow pets. 😄

[@lawyercrow]

“But Mr. Landlord Man, these aren’t pets! They’re my familiars.”

I feed Crows in about a 1 1/2 sq mile radius close to downtown seattle. Different flocks follow me from the moment I leave my apt until I enter the building. I have had over 100+ waiting outside my apt. We have routines every day. They have gifted me items such as a fake gold chain, belt buckle, even a silver heart shaped pendant because the cat kibble is shaped like a heart. They are loyal to a fault. Someone leaves massive amounts of dry cat food out for them about 4 blocks away but still if they see me they will escort me home every day, every time. The "fly past" or if they bump you I see as a sign of trust, friendship and playfulness. Some of the ones I feed I have known literally since they have came out of the nest.

[@hellosweetlove2098]

Where do they leave their gifts for you? There's a huge grassy field with trails leading along some hills behind my place. If I were to feed them as I walked on the trail, would they leave their gifts along the trail on the trail itself, or would they scatter their gifts throughout the field? Is it best for them if I feed them in the same spot each day without feeding them while I'm walking? @@erikgification

[@michaelsadach5401]

So I don't have to call them? Just hold peanuts in my hand?

[@laurafalce335]

Been feeding crows for years. Make egg bites for them. That would be scrambled eggs with a little bit xxx done you cut them into little squares! Crows love them! I am disabled so I scooter around town in a scooter and carry a jar of peanuts with me. If the crows see me they will stop on a wire and then all will gather and they wait. Knowing that I have peanuts and I'm going to throw some down! Love me a crow!

[@uli_734]

One thing about crows is that they share information about food resources with other species of birds and other animals, and they share, they are way different than other species of birds

[@A.D.540]

crow only share it with crow not other animals unless they developed bond some how.

[@midnightmosesuk]

It's amazing how each has a distinct personality. One crow grabs all he can, another is impatient and eats his peanut right there and yet another goes through the nuts as if it's not sure which one to choose.

[@TheUtuber999]

While they certainly each have their own distinct personalities, I wonder if their behavior might also be influenced more by how hungry they are.

[@A.D.540]

@@TheUtuber999 interesting , how we study this bird. they are youngest all bird and also most smartest. just like human we are youngest of all homo in history and great ape yet we are also most smart.

[@MarshallArtz007]

In addition to unsalted roasted peanuts 🥜, I will also leave a crow-sized portion of scrambled eggs as a special treat. My crow neighbors are crazy for eggs. 🥚

[@cadebritt8001]

I've been feeding a pair of ravens for five years, and they don't allow others of their kind, hawks, or falcons to enter their air space. I refer to my front garden as the lunch box. A couple of hundred birds feed their every day. Its like they take shifts. And the special one's come in between. I have even taught the stellar jays to talk. I dream of being a bird 🐦.

[@OriginRow]

They are smart. One of them wants 2 peanuts at a time 😄

[@lw1343]

How does that make them smart? If it were kids we'd spank them for being greedy.

I can tell by the way the crows sound that you're by the west coast of the US 😆

@@rayrous8229 it's hard to explain... but there is a clear difference. im 99% sure this guy lives in Southern California based on how the crows sound. crows have different accents in different parts of the country.

My raven friends loved cheese, I've since moved location and made friends with Magpies...who also visit for cheese nibbles and I'm currently being quietly observed by a lone raven. Loved your video ☀️❤️

[@rayrous8229]

I'm putting out peanuts for crows. So far I'm just getting blue jays.

[@A.D.540]

blue jay are secong most smartest. i would happy to have jay or crow so far i only get ordinary bird with low iq lol

[@ChelleLlewes]

If you're getting jays, it's not likely that you'll get crows. Jays are as smart as crows, and they have a lot of the same traits, like society, trust, facial recognition, and loyalty. They're also a lot more playful. Enjoy your jays! 😘

Too cute

[@donlimoncelli6108]

I have a deck off a living room area that has windows. There is a tree about 35 feet away with an active crows nest. I have put peanuts on the railing in view of the crows every morning for three weeks. They can see bluejays and other birds as they stuff themselves but the crows haven't taken advantage so far.

[@judybraviere2715]

[@Maxbps88]

I just started trying to attract a few crows to my deck by calling and putting out nuts. My next step is to buy a big bag of peanuts. I am currently putting out walnuts, pistachios, and sunflower seeds. Something is eating them but I do not think it is crows.

Squirrels try to get into the peanuts I leave out even if I put them in places they cant easily reach but they are very very persistent. Egg yolks may not be so alluring to them. So I will try that.

[@ChelleLlewes]

Squirrels are omnivorous, and they will LOVE those egg yolks.

[@hellosweetlove2098]

If they were fed on a balcony, would they poop on the balcony or on the side of the building? Would they poop on cars as they flew over to the food? Just trying to find a suitable location for them that won't make the neighbors unhappy.

[@ChelleLlewes]

Most of the time, corvids will pick one or two pieces and take off with them. They all cache food, just like squirrels. However, if they do leave a gift, it's washable. Highly acidic, so sooner is best (yes, it will strip paint!). Or, if it's dry when you see it, just brush it away.

[@judybraviere2715]

Wait your turn buddy

[@brendabooprather]

This can't be the first time! LOL. How did you get them the FIRST time?

[@lawyercrow]

Same way, to be honest. If there are crows in your neighborhood and you place food where they can see it, they won’t take long to come eat it. If you put food out regularly, they’ll begin anticipating it and waiting for you. They learn quickly.

[@ChelleLlewes]

@@lawyercrow They can tell time. They can also count...as in one, two, three...I found that out the first time I wasn't quite fast enough with that last peanut... 😊

@@TheUtuber999 They’ll eat egg whites, but they’re much more enthusiastic about yolks. If I set out whites and yolks together, they’ll scoop up the yolks and may or may not return for the whites hours later. Yolks are high in protein and fat calories they need for flying; whites not so much.
