We had a crow with an injured leg. We put peanuts out for him while he healed. He still has a limp so we call him Gimpy. Now he comes up to the patio door almost every day right when we sit down for dinner and I throw him a couple peanuts.

The desert tortoise is endangered because crows eating the babies. There are too many animals going to places where they shouldn't be. It's damaging the ecosystem. Feeding ground squirrels in San Diego is illegal for this reason. I'm fact the la jolla preserve won't allow food of any kind. Crows don't belong here.

There were multitudes of crows here in the Inland Empire in years past but now few. I attribute this to the 105 degree plus temperatures we have now days. They seem to be moving to costal areas because it's cooler and it's easier to find water.

In San Mateo (south of San Francisco) I've noticed that over the past 20 years or so crows appear to have taken over the urban scavenger niche that used to be held by pigeons. Crows are now everywhere, and pigeons have become relatively scarce. At the same time, juncos seem to have taken over from house sparrows and finches as the most common neighborhood "little brown jobs."

I want to know what happened to the crows and ravens in Mendocino and Lake Counties two hours north of San Francisco. When I moved here 29 years ago they were everywhere and many called them a nuisance, now they are essentially gone. Fair to say most birds are gone. Very seldom hear a hawk, haven't seen an osprey in years, you never see swarms of starlings which were once as common as crows. We no longer have to protect our vegetable garden against small birds, the grape growers who used to use preventative measures lose so few grapes to birds it's cheaper to let them feed than dissuade them . This is happening in an area that runs from the Pacific Ocean to California's Central Valley. Whatever's going on I'd take the annoying crows back any time as long as we got the rest of the birds too. Especially the hawks. LOVE that screech

I'll bet most people who love crows have no idea how many songbird nests are raided by them. Crows constantly eat other bird's eggs and babies. They are voracious feeders and killers. And they're tremendously overpopulated in SoCal. In fact, we could lose easily HALF of them overnight with no adverse impact to the ecosystem. A more level-headed state(e.g Texas) would hire professional hunters to cull their numbers. But I'm sure CA will do the precisely wrong thing, and allow these birds to multiply out-of-control.

Like knowing this fact will make those who love crows hate them? lol. Crows, Ravens the entire Corvid family is the most INTELLIGENT bird species.... songbirds are cute, people like 'cutesey' stuff... but Crows are mighty powerful, they are intelligent and human beings are afraid of intelligence because humans think only they can think. Any animal that shows intelligence scares humans and is always seen as evil for that reason... In truth humans fear being seen... and crows when they stare at you make you uneasy because you automatically sense that you are being 'seen' and observed by discerning eyes... unlike a bird that just seems so aloof and therefore 'nice'... That crows eat nests? is nature. So are hawks not to eat pigeons or nests? haven't you seen how Hawks grab pigeons from the street? gruesome. It's nature... that's what crows do and is part of the cycle of nature.

I grew up in a place in California called now the “inland empire”, where there was a small crow flock living in the big eucalyptus trees that grew between our house and the street. They would gather episodically in larger numbers and making a lot of extra noise. I started calling them “crow conventions”. They would typically occur on a Sunday but not always. There seem to be a purpose or reason to celebrate the larger gathering and different vocalizations. Only the crows know for sure 😉and they’re aren’t giving their secrets away. Where I live now PNW, we have both a resident crow family and a migrating stop for ravens in late summer early fall. The crows make themselves scarce, if their smart. The ravens don’t like to have them around.

The crows are here to eat our flesh after we all get killed in WWIII.

Took a shot at one but missed. Hit neighbor’s propane tank causing explosion and fire. Spread to nearby fertilizer plant which blew. Resulting forest fire took out the town and orphanage, crows got bigger eating the dead. Now they are ravens and moved to Baltimore.

they like to eat their catch on my skylight and end up cracking it while they eat. A problem in my condo complex here in south county as well.

I live in Escondido and in the morning they fly northeast and in the afternoon they fly southwest. They warn us when there is a coyote around and they help me with the gopher population in my backyard slope. Also more importantly, I believe they poop out seeds in my bark covered yard and I get free trees and bushes 😊

Exactly what impact do they have on song birds? And if you are going to mention cats, what impact do they have? Pretty sketchy on the details.

Crows are so fun to watch. Smart, boisterous, tricksters.

Domestic and feral cats take more birds than all other predators combined.My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.

Don’t laugh about eating pets. We are all just one natural disaster away. FEMA is not going to help. Imua Lahaina!

The domestic off-leash outdoor cat problem is not "also" a major problem with songbird depredation, it's THE problem. Don't try to shift this off on the crows. Crows are opportunistic and if they have other food sources they don't predate on songbirds. Also, guess what? Crows **are** songbirds!
