    One thing to do is let them see you when you put out the special treats. Or anything really. That way they will associate you with the food and see you as a friend. And I love that sneak up sideways routine, they act like hooligans that know the cops are watching.

      The direction I come into the backyard is the way he or she keeps looking. Like I’m going to sneak up on them 🤣. The other one knows I’m sitting inside cause they know to look in the window.
      They are characters for sure!

      Not just let them see you - only put the treats out when you are there, and police up any unclaimed treats before you leave, otherwise you are training them to wait for you to go away.

    • @harleyb.birdwhisperer
      @harleyb.birdwhisperer 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      That sideways approach is body language that says “I’m fearful here and ready to run (fly). When they’re not afraid, they walk straight in. That’s the clue you can move the treat a little closer.

      Please don’t capture a wild crow or any bird. They are usually paired and if you separated them you’d break their hearts. I rescued a parrot and it is amazing how deeply emotional birds are. Consider adopting a homeless parrot from a rescue but only if you’re willing to put in the endless and very expensive work and commitment they are. This isn’t like having a dog or cat either

      I took me 2 years to make friends with our neighborhood crows. Probbaly because people here are jerks and give them a hard time. Last spring one landed on my fence and stared at me through the window for a while before flying away. And a year later, he finally hung around a bit and picked up some bird seed. In my experienced they love (unsalted) whole cashews and especially fried egg yolks. Those are their favorites. The scrub jays also love cashews.

      I only really see the crows in the winter months now. I live on the edge of a wooded area and I believe they roost there. I learned the hard way that they will eat small animals. I work at home and sit at a window at the back of my home. I have a perfect view of this spot. I have several chipmunks that visit and last spring one of the crows picked one up by the tail!!! I immediately jumped up, the crow saw me and released the chipmunk. The crows stopped visiting for the most part once that happened. They can see me sitting in the window. I was shocked when they started visiting again but hunger can be a huge factor. Once the chipmunk incident happened I stopped encouraging them. But they know there is food here. I do like that they sound the alert when the hawk is out but I will have to watch them closely again this spring. Once weather is better I’m out in the yard gardening when I’m not tied to my work desk

      Of course. They even hunt mice, small birds and young of several kinds (e.g. squirrels). Most of the food of ravens is stealing from wolfs's kills. In my experience what they love most is (fried) minced meat. They also love fish fingers/sticks and egg yolk.

      Mine are super skittish. But they do like hanging out around my yard. (I live on the edge of a wooded area). I really think they keep an eye on me. Curious about what I’m doing 😄

      I had one that would come get snacks often and I would say hello to him in a raspy crow voice… and then say it clearly… one day I got a txt from my brother saying “ your crow is in the tree’s saying hello” I flipped!! Said record it and he got audio of the crow practicing his hello… he also gave me a squirrel arm from a skeleton.. and a shiny chunk of glass and a shiny spoon… I felt so loved… lol… still have the audio of him clucking and saying hello in different ways… it melts my soul
