I appreciate the effort to make crow food preferences a subject. 🖤
Unfortunately I cannot agree with most of the statements. I have been feeding about 15 crows on a daily basis for more than three years. (Nearly?) all of them land on my balcony when I am there. Most of them pick up food from a distance of 20cm off my arm (when I look in the opposite direction). We are on VERY good terms and I have done extensive testing.
My crows (hooded crows, Berlin, Germany) HATE fruit. I have offered them apple slices, berries, all in all some ten fruits and vegetables. They do not take any of it in relevant amounts. The best result (among only bad ones...) was water melon. I have a picture of an apple slice with a crow foot imprint... 🙄
My spoilt brats do not even take peanuts any more. Unless they are in the shell. But that is not for their taste but because those are so convenient for storage. That's why they love walnut with shell because they actually like the taste of walnut. If you feed them daily there is not much need for food storage, though.
Their most preferred nut (off by a lot) is cashew. During winter many of my crows prefer cashed even over meat (raw chicken hearts; I did not test them against fried minced meat, though). The next best are walnut and Brazil nut. Then almond, hazelnut and peanut. Yes, peanuts are the worst. With the exception of sunflowser seeds. In the beginning they have actually taken peanuts; they never have taken sunflower seeds.
My crows get cashews every day. On most days in addition to that either meat or fish (sticks/fingers). During nestling season they also get egg yolk (and some egg shell for its calcium) every other day. As the video mentioned: Having a variety of foods is important for the health of crows.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, that was quite helpful. The video’s purpose is just to give people some initial direction. As intelligent animals, each individual crow (and their different species) will have their own preferences. Just as you described, it is a trial and error process, testing different foods until you discover their preferences.
I’ve left some food out for the two living in my property (I haven’t quite decided if they’re crows or ravens but they’re really big so I’m thinking ravens) and I don’t think they’re noticing I’ve put food out for them. How should I make it more noticeable? I was thinking of putting it on aluminum foil to grab their attention with the shininess but I’ve heard most birds hate shiny things. What do you think about the foil idea?
@@mamadoom9724 Placing foil next to food to attract crows is a strategy that could potentially work. Crows are known for their curiosity and intelligence, and they are often attracted to shiny objects. The reflective nature of foil might catch their eye and pique their interest, drawing them closer to investigate. Once they notice the food, they are likely to stay and eat it. However, keep in mind that crows are also wary of new and unusual objects, so the success of this tactic might vary depending on the individual crow's experiences and temperament.
@@SimonassiRafael thanks 🙏 I’ll try placing the foil next to the food to hopefully grab their attention. The weird thing is I saw them stealing eggs I had sitting on my porch but now that I put stuff out for them to eat they seem uninterested 😩 I guess it’s just trial and error
You have given them these fattier nuts and of course they prefer them. But the info in this video is not wrong just because of your interaction with a small set of crows. My crow just came and took a huge piece of apple while I type and left the peanuts. She will return for whatever food item she wants today. I do not give them expensive nuts and they don’t care.
I enjoy watching crows dunk their food (usually walnuts or almonds) in the water that i set out.
Living in southern California the crows and ravens around here can be quite picky. Some like tangerines, others peck at it and leave them behind, others love red grapes some don't, others love shreeded wheat cereal and most all love the dry cat food. I have one particular raven that will sit on a electrical line that hangs maybe 10 feet off rhe ground just waiting for out cats to leave before he swoops down and eats out of the cat bowl on our back porch right next to the door.
It does take a time and a lot of trial and error until you find out what they like to eat, as they all have their own personality. But once you get it right, you will be rewarded with loyal friends!
Add to that: hard boiled eggs. Corvids love eggs and they’re packed with nutrients. It’s a crack up to watch them fly off with an entire egg in their beaks!
Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thank you for your video ❤ 🐦⬛
Thank you for your comment!!
Would have been able to listen if you used a human voice 😅 its like audible uncanny valley
This video feels AI generated, ngl.
Probably so, if the information is good I'll return and let you know. But what both of us should be doing right now as programming AI to do just this very thing
Okay well I'm back after watching the whole thing I will say based on my experience of courting crows in my permanent residence for almost a decade, this is very correct information and the only food that I have not yet tried is blueberries and diced apples, but there are two pairs waiting outside right now and I was looking for a very tasty treat so looks like I'm going to shell some peanuts and cut some apples up. But check this out I'll give you a humanoid pro tip - they love meow mix, anything other than the chicken flavor.
@@smellymala3103 I tried apples, they hate it! Honestly it was meant for the hare I didnt know crows were supposed to like it. To me they seem to enjoy everything thats aledgedly not good for them, and they hate veggies. Have you gotten them to eat veggies? I dont think they care much for berries, there are berries all over the place here. They can easily just pick them themselves.
@@PixelEchoCreations hahaha you are right!! They didn't touch them and preferred the peanuts. I keep it rare I promise but they do love a Frito hahaha, and of course any non-bird cat food. For me, peanuts have always proven true, especially when you are out of your area and meeting unfamiliar birds.
@@smellymala3103 all right, I will try peanuts, but first, tonight I'm trying the sunflower seeds, I very much doubt I'll see crows take them. Might very well pop up a squirrel on my camera now. Btw I wonder who ranks higher in the forest hierarchy, the squirrel or the crow? Who stands their ground and who flees? hehh

What do you think of walnut ? Thanks for sharing your experiences.
All nuts are a good food source for crows (as long as they don’t have any salt or sugar). Each crow will have its favourite type of nuts. You can try offering walnuts to see if you have any success!
They’re just MAD about walnuts… I give them peanuts, too. They’re my family and friends… so affectionate, so bright, so loyal… they deserve sooooo much…. never disappointed by treating them the most I can do…. Thanks for reading these words with your heart.
@@helenhekines2835 If you want to see them really mad then get some (frozen) mice from a pet shop.
That is going to be funny for two reasons: The young crows (who never had a mouse) will just cautiosly look at it from a distance while the adult ones go to war over the mice... 😆🖤
How do they chew the nuts?? 🧐🤔
Crows don't actually chew nuts in the same way humans do. Instead, they use their beaks to crack open the shells of nuts, then they may swallow smaller pieces whole or break them down further with their beaks and tongues.
AI slop aside, your want to feed them peanuts.
They love peanuts.
Peanuts are healthy for them.
Don't watch this dross.
