I was in the same situation last year. I found a baby crow on the street next to a car and I brought him home. He was a little bit older than Peach when I found him, so I didn't have any problem when I released him. Now I miss him, but I still see him sometimes flying around my street and the garden. He even has some friends! It was nice to find your video and see that I'm not the only one who rescues crows. Peach is even the same age as my Snowy!
Thanks for watching and telling us the story of your Snowy! Yes, since Peach was so young, he became imprinted on us and didn't get along with other crows at the rehab, so we had to bring him back home. Kullike has rescued and successfully released hooded crows in Europe years ago but she says they weren't this young.
I'm really proud of you two. When I was a kid some 40 + years ago, there was a crow that used to come visit my back yard. He / she came daily in the late afternoon when I'd come home from school. I used to feed it corn nibblets and canned cat food. We'd play tug of war with an elastic band. It came back daily for a long time, then the visits would become less frequent over several months... then one day was its last visit. This was late in October. After that I never saw the crow again. I think of that bird often and wonder what ever happened to it. I know they can live for 20 years or so, but I have to wonder if it got to live out its full life. I'd hope so, and I hope it got to befriend an other kid like me. Thanks for your story, and the videos you've posted. I hope Peach comes back to visit you.
This was a very nice story about the crow that came to visit you! We took Peach to rehab centre and he spent there over two weeks. However, we had to bring him back home since he did not get along with other crows there. It turned out he had become imprinted on us, so he did not identify himself with other crows any more. Peach is our family member now :-)
+Denis F -- Crows are the smartest birds in the world. Your Crow probably realised that its life in the wild would not be nearly as comfortable as having a family of humans look after him. So he refused to ``Rehabilitate`` and made you take him back home instead :)
It was very kind of you to care for this beautiful animal. One thing I noticed, and know from my own experience in caring for abandoned birds, is that keeping a bird in a cage that is too small shreds their tail feathers. With shredded tail feathers, a bird will never learn to fly well enough to survive in the wild. After you took him to his new temporary home, I also noticed that those feathers were healing very nicely. You made the right decision, and thank you for sharing this story. The world needs more people like you.
Yes, Peach was doing his same old chicken dance to us when we went to visit him :-) At that time we were still thinking he will become a wild crow. We later found out that he did not really get along with other crows since he had become imprinted on us, so we had to bring him back. He seems very happy to be part of our family and we love him to pieces!
We also rescued a baby crow, named him Homer. We had him in our home for 41/2 months. He had a cage in the house, but he spent all of his time with us out of the cage.. He was able to fly very well. when we went out to the patio he would come with us. One day he decided to fly out on his own. He came back with a friend, who watched out for him.
We are now raising a crow that fell out of the nest was about month old now about 5 months old , can eat and fly on its own. The crow family comes and goes and we are going to try and reunite him. It's such a huge amount of work but I love it. I have my doubts if he is going to leave on its own but I think it's better for them. I will miss it.
Beautiful bird peach))) i have 2 crows for the last 2 years that come every day for a bird bath they love to hang out in the back yard. Sometimes i will feed them boiled eggs and apples whats funny is sometimes they bring gifts and drop them in the bird bath sweet and sour sauce packets from maccas apple core, rocks haha. They seem to come mid day for a bath but will wake me in the mornings by jumping up and down on the guttering of the house.
awesome video..i live in a duplex in bc, and have a small patio,,one crow last year came to me sat right on my patio ledge,,so i started feeding it daily..now this year i have 3 crows coming on my patio to visit,,its just awesome,,i love it..seems like they can see me from afar when i sit on my patio mrn java..cas all 3 come for a visit..i think this year one is a baby...i feed them daily..they have at least 4 different sounds..whisle at me..they caw..and some cluck sound,,,i think they choose me to be in thier pack..its realy awesome..my small teacup black pom they seem to dont mind too...she on the other hand gets jelous of them,,,lol
I think Peach felt more than a little homesick and was missing his family! He really loves you. All his social instincts were centered on his human family. It will be difficult to move on. Hopefully he'll fly home to visit from time to time.
We actually ended up bringing Peach back home as he did not blend in with other crows there. He had become imprinted on us and, as such, was not releaseable! Peach will be 4 years old this spring! Also, we have since feel blessed with two more crows and a talking magpie as you can see in our recent videos!
@@chv72 That's what I thought might have to be. I think you saved his life at that critical early window and now he is forever bonded with you. Simply too poetic!
watching this fantastic video of your loyal family member and going off to school to be with his loyal friends I was wondering how many tears have you swallow to say goodbye
We had wet eyes when we left from that rehabilitation place and were driving back home but we wanted to give Peach a chance to be a free wild bird. We were also happy and excited for him as we hoped he would make friends with other crows there. However, after him spending over two weeks at the rehab it turned out that he did not fit in with other crows as he had become imprinted on us. So, we had to bring him back and he has been our sweet family member since. There are a lot of recent videos of Peach on our channel.
I am so fond of animals myself and I do love how you have devoted your time and affection to Peach. I do hope that he will be able to integrate fully with his own kind and live a happy life. You will doubtless miss him a lot. But you have Cassie who is a joy for you no doubt. Greetings from Wales.
That was so sad. Uh, Thank goodness I read the comments and you brought him back home. He didn't look happy there at all. You are both very good parents. Never let any vet or vet tech dremel his claws, it is very painful for birds (despite what they may tell you). All the best to you!
To bad for the, in my opinon the bad ending of bringing him to a rehab....Back in the mid 60's we rased one..named him Jim...taught him to fly..he was part of the family...never clipped his wings...he would come when you called his name...fly to you from where ever he was and land on your arm and walk around with you on your shoulder ...At night he would fly into the third floor attic window where my room was and sleep on the perch I made for him...great watch dog too..would come swooping down on anyone who came into the yard that wasn't in my family...lost a few sets of keys and other items, that little devil..had him for many years..then one day he was hanging out with another crow up in the trees for a few weeks ..we figured he left to start a murder of his own.. The legend of Jim Crow
That turned out not to be the ending! Peach spent a little over two weeks in that rehab but we had to bring him back home as he did not get along with other crows. He had become imprinted on us and his survival chances in the wild would have been very poor. We wanted to give Peach a chance to be free and wild, but he wasn't wild any more and now he is our family member for good! Thanks for telling us the story of your crow! It really is amazing how intelligent and sophisticated these birds could be! We have a lot of recent videos with Peach on our channel!
I remember my dad telling me how he helped a baby crow when he was younger. He nurtured it for about four months, hunting smaller animals and letting him learn hunt for itself, and eventually walked it back into the woods. It came back a day later, and never left the farm until it disappeared almost three years later.
Aw, baby Peach! He sure had a healthy appetite! love listening to his young vocalizations! Love all the beautiful trees there compared to where I live. What a special thing it must be to raise a wild animal :)
I adore members of the crow family. So intelligent. If l had one l couldn’t bear to part with him. Had a pet jackdaw when l was 10 that stayed for about 6 months. That was 60 years ago. Now l live in the countryside l persuaded my friend who has jackdaws in his outhouse, to feed them some corn when he feeds his horses. Now they all wait in a big tree and swoop down when he appears. Problem is that folks around here call all largish dark birds crows. They cannot distinguish black crows, hooded crows, ravens, rooks and jackdaws but they do know magpies.
Thanks for watching! Yes, they really are amazing birds! We actually had to bring Peach back home since he did not pass his rehab! We now have him and have also been blessed with a few more companions for him! You can see all of them in our recent videos!
Thanks for watching! We ended up bringing Peach back home since it turned out that he had become imprinted on us. He spent over two weeks in that rehab but didn't get along with other crows, so we got him back and he has been our family member since. Peach is almost two years old now and there are a lot of Peach videos on our channel.
I have an adult crow that is wild as far as I can tell that has befriended my old dog and visits every winter. He will come in the house at night and give my cats hell. He shares the dog's food and roosts on a bookcase. I met him by sharing a hamburger with him 3 years ago when he just flew up and started squawking for a bite and he's been coming back ever since. My only complaints are that he isn't house trained or picky where he goes and he is adamant that breakfast be served an hour before I plan to get up.
When you came to visit Peach, it seemed to me he was happy to see you but also a bit mad/upset at you for leaving him/her there. I'm glad to know you brought Peach back home. Peach didn't look so happy there, but it's still good you gave it a chance to see if that was a better option for Peach.
I was sorry to see you taking Peach to the rehab place. Then, in the next video you take him back home and have a big, spiffy cage for him. You decided not to leave him at that place? He told you he did not like it there?
@@chv72 he is better off with you and shows affection.More than imprinted. Gracefully done with an intelligent and majestic corvid. I hope you enjoy each others company for many years. they can live beyond 20.
Crows are very intelligent birds,they are Corvids ,which include Magpies and the such,they can be trained to do tricks I hope peech recovers and is able to be released back into the wild,by the way we have Canada Geese at the local park which belongs to the Queen ER2.👑
Peach did not get along with other crows at the rehab and we had to bring him back, so he is our family member now :-) Canada geese are just taking off from here. Are you in the States? That's where they are heading for winter :-)Thanks for watching!
Wish I could have a pet like PEACH. So, adorable.Thanks for uploading this video. By the way, how's Peach now? I've noticed that his video almost a year ago. Do you have his latest video? Please??? I miss Peach.. Does he have a mate together on his cage?
Peach is an adorable little bird. We do have some more recent videos of Peach on our channel and we will try to make more in the nearest future! Glad you like our videos! Thanks for watching!
Peach didn't look too happy there. It almost seemed as if he was a bit upset when you went back. I'm relatively new to your channel and watching your videos randomly as they come into my recommendations... but I feel, just by watching this, that Peach did seem a little flustered.
Yes, you are right! He did not fit in with other crows, so after two weeks in that rehab we had to bring him back home as it turned out he had become imprinted on us! He has been our family member since and we love him to pieces!
We did bring Peach back home since it turned out he had become imprinted on us and did not get along with other crows, so he is our family now! :-) Thanks for watching!
Mine stayed for about 7 months and left of it's own accord. I never kept him in a cage though so he could do as he pleased. First 3 months he slept indoors and then he moved to a plum tree in the garden. He was away for about 6-7 months before he came to visit me first time. He has been visiting me regularly in the past year and a half or so since he left. And no matter how long we don't see each other he lends on my shoulder as if he had never left and we play silly as usual. I'd love to know where he lives now and how far is that. I imagine it must be far away otherwise he would have been visiting more often. PS I'd like to think it's he. Please watch my vids.
+zengi7 Hello and thanks for sending me a message about your crow. Yes it is your crow that keeps coming back as he has excellent memory of his times with you .I will watch your movies too.Dennis
+zengi7 Hi! I am Dennis's wife Kullike. I have also been watching and very much enjoying the videos of your crow. Just wanted to say hello and that years ago I used to have the same kind of black and gray European crow. I am from Estonia originally and years ago I twice grew up a black and grey crow chick in Estonia. Both times the crow stayed around until they became independent and then took off with other crows and I never saw them again.This time our Peach here doesn't want to have anything to do with other crows. Must be because he was way too young when we found him. We lately put up a video Our Pet Crow showing Peach at very young age. You might like to watch that. Is your crow staying around now in winter too? In Estonia they stay for winter, but here in Canada they fly south for winter, so Peach is staying indoors now. On warmer days we bring him out to enjoy some sunshine.
+zengi7 I am scared to let Peach free in our yard here in town as he has no fear for dogs. He (or she?) is so used to our dog and our friends' dogs that would go and annoy any dog in the neighbourhood. Also, some evil people here like shooting crows, so I feel like I have to protect Peach from all the evils of the world :-) I hope your Bago is safe wherever he is right now and will be visiting you soon :-)
So he/she plays and annoys any dog he comes across? There is a method in Bago's madness. He would never approach anyone except for me and my dogs. He has made it so far, so I suppose he will be all right in the future. I which he would settle with his family some nearer to me so I can see him more often. Btw, Peach is an excellent name for a crow.
this bird would prefer to stay in those wonderful cages.............he'll miss all those wonderful food..........it will break his heart to go on wildness...............
We feed Peach high quality soaked dry dog food, hard boiled egg yolk, cooked wild rice, organic corn, cauliflower, unprocessed meat, sprouted whole grain bread, soaked nuts, oat flakes, cooked quinoa, all kinds of berries. His favourites are meal worms and crickets. Thanks for watching our videos!
It must be so difficult to send your baby bird away. Why can’t you keep him forever? Seems like he is too domesticated and too dependent on you folks to ever leave u. It will be really hard for him I hope he gets use to his new home
We did bring him back and still lives with us today. Watch this video about the story of our pet crow if you have time.th-cam.com/video/tXhMMDOR6k8/w-d-xo.html
We got him back, though, since he didn't pass his rehab and we have been since blessed with a few more crows and a magpie! We feed them soaked cat kibble, hard boiled egg yolks, cooked rice, cooked quinoa, oat flakes, corn, cooked unprocessed meat and fish, berries, nuts and seeds. They also like meal worms very much! Thanks for watching!
Peach didn't pass his rehab as he didn't get along with other crows. He had become imprinted on us, so had to bring him back home and he has been our family member ever since. There are lots of recent Peach videos on our channel!
Yes, we have been very happy to have Peach as our family member! We wanted to give him a chance to be wild and free but he didn't fit in with other crows and after more than two weeks at the rehab we decided to bring him back home. We love him very much and since he is imprinted on us, we are feeling fully responsible for him! Thanks for watching and there are a lot more Peach videos on our channel that you might enjoy!
, I don't know I would have kept that bird till the day one of us died I guess it's best for the bird but it would have killed me to give it up like that oh boy life as a depressed person
Does anybody know of a pet crow forum or blog... Where one can share ideas videos treats diets etc for our pet crows... Maybe FB page... Greetings from Africa
Yes, there are a couple of Facebook groups - For the Love of Crows and Crows and Crow Followers. Kullike is a member of these. Thanks for watching our videos!
Peach is back for good and our family member now! We will never part from him again! We just wanted to give him a chance to be a wild and free, but he had already become imprinted on us. Thanks for watching!
Crows are not endangered here in the U.S.. They're all over the place. Many people consider them to be pests, but I don't, but then again, I don't have crops to defend either. Often times they're the first bird I hear in the morning.
SpiritBear ... Crows were, in fact, once severely endangered and were put on the list of those species, along with the American bald eagle, making it illegal to hunt or own them. Many chicks were lost because of DDT and adults were killed by hunting as crop pests. Though they are now plentiful, they are STILL on the list. I am not sure whether it is illegal to have one that was rescued, though. People in most neighborhoods have learned not to put trash bags out at night for trash pickup in the morning. Crows (and raccoons) have no hesitation in tearing into those bags and making a mess looking for goodies to snack on. I know that personally after having to pick up everything from my lawn in the morning a few times. lol
Hah, the crow, smartest bird... BTW I just got in my back forest to collect some mushrooms. heh 2 little birds coming, other was about 30cm nearby my face and other landing my back. I stay still and quietly stand up the bird tipi tipi on my shoulder. Noks noks my long hair ( or how it said not baiting but ... you know) Huh, animalwhisper like you...
That's so lovely to have a little bird on your shoulder! Do you really have mushrooms in the forest in Finland at this time of the year? What kind of mushrooms are they? Thanks for watching that older video! Peach didn't stay very long in that rehab, though.
Echamos un vistazo a la rehabilitación de la vida silvestre para ser lanzado. Él ha sido nuestro miembro de la familia desde entonces. Desde entonces hemos sido bendecidos con algunos cuervos más.
you cant just take a wild bird and feed it and take care of it since a baby then let it go and expect it to survive. in the wild the parents teach there babies life skills they need to live out in the wild.
You are so right! We realized that after we had taken Peach to the Rehab and he didn't get along with other crows there since he was already imprinted on us. This is why we brought him back and he has been our family member ever since! Thanks for watching and commenting!
We have lots of Peach videos on our channel that you might like! We lately adopted another unreleaseable crow with a broken wing from the wildlife rehab!
rehb him to wild was big mistake sinc he was already attached nd used to you guys btw that place is no better than your home where he grow and he is used to. the place looks dirty and crappy
We just wanted to give him a chance to be wild and free but he wasn't wild any more anyways but was imprinted on us. Now he is our family member for good and we will never part from him as we love Peach so much!
I too have just rescued a crow which I found injured. He or she is not a baby, but is injured and cant fly, although he is improving, eats very well and I have never seen anything learn so fast. I will upload videos shortly. Well done to you!
They are amazing birds! They do learn fast and seem to have an incredible common sense, too! We still have our Peach. He spent over two weeks at that rehab but did not get along with other crows as he had become imprinted on us. So, we brought him back home and he has been our family member ever since! If the crow you rescued doesn't recover enough to be released, he would make a wonderful pet for you! Good luck with your crow! We would be happy to see the videos of him! Also, we have quite a few recent videos of our Peach on our channel!
Soaked high quality dry dog kibble, hard boiled egg yolks, organic corn, cauliflower, berries, soaked nuts of all sorts, cooked quinoa, meal worms, crickets, unprocessed meat, cooked brown rice and wild rice, raw oat flakes.
He might have been disappointed that we took him to that rehab! But he didn't pass it and is back home. He has been our family member since. We have quite a lot videos of Peach on our channel!
one of the most honorable things a person can do is be there for an animal that needs help.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I was in the same situation last year. I found a baby crow on the street next to a car and I brought him home.

aww I'm in floods of tears , when you went back to visit Peach, so adorable she recognized her mommy , she loves you guy's so much... 🐥🐦🐤

We also rescued a baby crow, named him Homer. We had him in our home for 41/2 months. He had a cage in the house, but he spent all of his time with us out of the cage.. He was able to fly very well. when we went out to the patio he would come with us. One day he decided to fly out on his own. He came back with a friend, who watched out for him.
Thanks for watching and telling us about your Homer!
We are now raising a crow that fell out of the nest was about month old now about 5 months old , can eat and fly on its own. The crow family comes and goes and we are going to try and reunite him. It's such a huge amount of work but I love it. I have my doubts if he is going to leave on its own but I think it's better for them. I will miss it.
Beautiful bird peach))) i have 2 crows for the last 2 years that come every day for a bird bath they love to hang out in the back yard.

Thanks for watching and telling us about your crows! They really are such wonderful birds to have around!
Amazing bird,amazing people,long life to you all.
It was sad to see him leaving. But we all hope him a happy life! 😥😀
Thanks for linking this older video of Peach. I've never seen this video until now in 2020.
Hope you enjoyed it!
The people who work with wild birds do an incredible job for all birds. Luckily there are people like them. Hugs. Britt o Gunnar.
Yes, the wildlife rehabilitation does great work.
i have a row that wakes me up by tapping at my window i think it is the one i rescued about a year ago
Yes, crows remember the people who have been good to them. This is very sweet.
okay
awesome video..i live in a duplex in bc, and have a small patio,,one crow last year came to me sat right on my patio ledge,,so i started feeding it daily..now this year i have 3 crows coming on my patio to visit,,its just awesome,,i love it..seems like they can see me from afar when i sit on my patio mrn java..cas all 3 come for a visit..i think this year one is a baby...i feed them daily..they have at least 4 different sounds..whisle at me..they caw..and some cluck sound,,,i think they choose me to be in thier pack..its realy awesome..my small teacup black pom they seem to dont mind too...she on the other hand gets jelous of them,,,lol
That's a really cool story about those crows coming to your patio.
Aww poor brave Peach, I'm glad you took him back in the end..
this is so special. i love peach. thanks for showing us how brave that crow is.
Thanks for watching! We had to bring him back home though as he had become imprinted on us! He has been our family member since!
Thanks for helping Pete and letting him stay and be loved! Perhaps he leaves later.
Peach is imprinted on us and sees us as his family. He is such an adorable little character. Thanks for watching!
I think Peach felt more than a little homesick and was missing his family! He really loves you. All his social instincts were centered on his human family. It will be difficult to move on. Hopefully he'll fly home to visit from time to time.
We actually ended up bringing Peach back home as he did not blend in with other crows there. He had become imprinted on us and, as such, was not releaseable! Peach will be 4 years old this spring!

This is such a cute story! Crows interest me more than most animals...
They are such delightful little characters! Thanks for watching!

That turned out not to be the ending! Peach spent a little over two weeks in that rehab but we had to bring him back home as he did not get along with other crows.

We wanted to give Peach a chance to be free and wild, but he wasn't wild any more and now he is our family member for good! Thanks for telling us the story of your crow!

It came back a day later, and never left the farm until it disappeared almost three years later.

Glad that Peach decided to keep you.
We are also very glad we have Peach in our lives! :-) Thanks for watching, Rob!
Aw, baby Peach! He sure had a healthy appetite! love listening to his young vocalizations! Love all the beautiful trees there compared to where I live. What a special thing it must be to raise a wild animal :)
Yeah, those baby sounds that he made were just adorable!
So nice and considerate to raise peach.....god bless.
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment, Jim! We had to bring Peach back home since he had become imprinted on us and was not releaseable.
another good job with animals crow's are the smartest birds you people are great with pets very nice to see keep up the good work
Thank you!
A-A-A-AMNOMNOMNOM
Awe..Peach was so happy to see you. He/She thought that you had some food for him/her. I'm so glad Peach is all yours now!
Thanks for watching and for your nice comment! Yes, we are also very happy we have our little Peach as a family member now! We love him/her so much!
Beautuful story, good & kind people. Thankyou for sharing. God bless you all.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
I adore members of the crow family. So intelligent. If l had one l couldn’t bear to part with him. Had a pet jackdaw when l was 10 that stayed for about 6 months. That was 60 years ago. Now l live in the countryside l persuaded my friend who has jackdaws in his outhouse, to feed them some corn when he feeds his horses. Now they all wait in a big tree and swoop down when he appears. Problem is that folks around here call all largish dark birds crows. They cannot distinguish black crows, hooded crows, ravens, rooks and jackdaws but they do know magpies.
Thanks for watching! Yes, they really are amazing birds! We actually had to bring Peach back home since he did not pass his rehab! We now have him and have also been blessed with a few more companions for him! You can see all of them in our recent videos!
lovely video, peach is also lovely, I hope he keeps visiting you.
Thanks for watching! We ended up bringing Peach back home since it turned out that he had become imprinted on us. He spent over two weeks in that rehab but didn't get along with other crows, so we got him back and he has been our family member since. Peach is almost two years old now and there are a lot of Peach videos on our channel.
The way peach eats HILARIOUS
Yes, Peach was a very cute baby! We have lots of Peach videos on our channel that you might also like!
I have an adult crow that is wild as far as I can tell that has befriended my old dog and visits every winter. He will come in the house at night and give my cats hell. He shares the dog's food and roosts on a bookcase. I met him by sharing a hamburger with him 3 years ago when he just flew up and started squawking for a bite and he's been coming back ever since.
My only complaints are that he isn't house trained or picky where he goes and he is adamant that breakfast be served an hour before I plan to get up.
Thanks for watching, Patrick, and telling us the interesting story of the crow that made friends with your dog! They sure are such amazing birds!
When you came to visit Peach, it seemed to me he was happy to see you but also a bit mad/upset at you for leaving him/her there. I'm glad to know you brought Peach back home. Peach didn't look so happy there, but it's still good you gave it a chance to see if that was a better option for Peach.
Sorry for the late reply but just seen this message and another one from spring of 2020.
Am following video of peach...awesome story.
Thanks for watching!
O is vary hungry baby. So cute
awesome peach leaves home that was cool.
Thanks for watching!
Peach still eats like a baby crow lol
Thanks for the beautiful video. A+ and thumbs up.
Thank you very much!
Ur very welcome.
Yup, that is the sound they make when they want food.
Thanks for watching, Jim!
I was sorry to see you taking Peach to the rehab place. Then, in the next video you take him back home and have a big, spiffy cage for him.
You decided not to leave him at that place? He told you he did not like it there?
He did not get along with other crows there as he had become imprinted on us. Thanks for watching!
I thought so! He seemed like "Wtf is this"
Yes! That was my take on that!!! THOUGHT he was back home. GLAD.
So glad to hear that you to peach back
@@chv72 he is better off with you and shows affection.More than imprinted. Gracefully done with an intelligent and majestic corvid. I hope you enjoy each others company for many years. they can live beyond 20.
peach is adorable af but dang its voice
Thanks for watching!
Crows are very intelligent birds,they are Corvids ,which include Magpies and the such,they can be trained to do tricks
I hope peech recovers and is able to be released back into the wild,by the way we have Canada Geese at the local park
which belongs to the Queen ER2.👑
Peach did not get along with other crows at the rehab and we had to bring him back, so he is our family member now :-) Canada geese are just taking off from here. Are you in the States? That's where they are heading for winter :-)Thanks for watching!
Awesome bless it be
Thanks for watching! We had to bring Peach back home, though.
Precious
Thanks for watching! Since it turned out that Peach was imprinted on us, we had to bring him back over two weeks later!
Wish I could have a pet like PEACH. So, adorable.Thanks for uploading this video. By the way, how's Peach now? I've noticed that his video almost a year ago. Do you have his latest video? Please??? I miss Peach.. Does he have a mate together on his cage?
Peach is an adorable little bird. We do have some more recent videos of Peach on our channel and we will try to make more in the nearest future! Glad you like our videos! Thanks for watching!
Dennis F thanks, too.. you're welcome...
Peach didn't look too happy there. It almost seemed as if he was a bit upset when you went back. I'm relatively new to your channel and watching your videos randomly as they come into my recommendations... but I feel, just by watching this, that Peach did seem a little flustered.
Yes, you are right! He did not fit in with other crows, so after two weeks in that rehab we had to bring him back home as it turned out he had become imprinted on us! He has been our family member since and we love him to pieces!
This is so sweet. Are crows the smartest birds?
Thanks for watching! That's what I've heard! :-)
Believe Peach wants back home.
We did bring Peach back home since it turned out he had become imprinted on us and did not get along with other crows, so he is our family now! :-) Thanks for watching!
Mine stayed for about 7 months and left of it's own accord. I never kept him in a cage though so he could do as he pleased. First 3 months he slept indoors and then he moved to a plum tree in the garden. He was away for about 6-7 months before he came to visit me first time. He has been visiting me regularly in the past year and a half or so since he left. And no matter how long we don't see each other he lends on my shoulder as if he had never left and we play silly as usual. I'd love to know where he lives now and how far is that. I imagine it must be far away otherwise he would have been visiting more often. PS I'd like to think it's he. Please watch my vids.
+zengi7 Hello and thanks for sending me a message about your crow. Yes it is your crow that keeps coming back as he has excellent memory of his times with you .I will watch your movies too.Dennis
+zengi7 Hi! I am Dennis's wife Kullike. I have also been watching and very much enjoying the videos of your crow. Just wanted to say hello and that years ago I used to have the same kind of black and gray European crow. I am from Estonia originally and years ago I twice grew up a black and grey crow chick in Estonia. Both times the crow stayed around until they became independent and then took off with other crows and I never saw them again.This time our Peach here doesn't want to have anything to do with other crows. Must be because he was way too young when we found him. We lately put up a video Our Pet Crow showing Peach at very young age. You might like to watch that. Is your crow staying around now in winter too? In Estonia they stay for winter, but here in Canada they fly south for winter, so Peach is staying indoors now. On warmer days we bring him out to enjoy some sunshine.
yellowbutterfly67 Hi Kullike, nice to meet you too. I hope Bago will be visiting soon and I will have more vids. Regards
+zengi7 I am scared to let Peach free in our yard here in town as he has no fear for dogs. He (or she?) is so used to our dog and our friends' dogs that would go and annoy any dog in the neighbourhood. Also, some evil people here like shooting crows, so I feel like I have to protect Peach from all the evils of the world :-) I hope your Bago is safe wherever he is right now and will be visiting you soon :-)
So he/she plays and annoys any dog he comes across? There is a method in Bago's madness. He would never approach anyone except for me and my dogs. He has made it so far, so I suppose he will be all right in the future. I which he would settle with his family some nearer to me so I can see him more often. Btw, Peach is an excellent name for a crow.
sad to leave family even if they are not human
Yes, but we had to bring Peach back anyways as the rehab found him unreleaseable since he had become imprinted on us!
Peach was happier at your home......can u see that...
Yes, he was! That is why we had to bring him back two weeks later!
RpetsAndUs thanks you did .....god bless you....
what are you feeding her from the coffe mug
this bird would prefer to stay in those wonderful cages.............he'll miss all those wonderful food..........it will break his heart to go on wildness...............
Thanks for watching! Peach is our family member for good now! Please watch the latest Peach videos on our channel.
thank God!
love your videos.. what kind of diet you guys give him?
We feed Peach high quality soaked dry dog food, hard boiled egg yolk, cooked wild rice, organic corn, cauliflower, unprocessed meat, sprouted whole grain bread, soaked nuts, oat flakes, cooked quinoa, all kinds of berries. His favourites are meal worms and crickets. Thanks for watching our videos!
I happened to stumble on your picture video again I was one how peach is doing hope he's okay hope to hear from you soon
Peach is doing very good! We have since been blessed with two more rescued crows and a talking magpie as you can see in our recent videos!
Peach almost try to talk, soon very soon:)
It must be so difficult to send your baby bird away.
Why can’t you keep him forever?
Seems like he is too domesticated and too dependent on you folks to ever leave u.
It will be really hard for him
I hope he gets use to his new home
We did bring him back and still lives with us today. Watch this video about the story of our pet crow if you have time.th-cam.com/video/tXhMMDOR6k8/w-d-xo.html
What were you feeding him?
We got him back, though, since he didn't pass his rehab and we have been since blessed with a few more crows and a magpie! We feed them soaked cat kibble, hard boiled egg yolks, cooked rice, cooked quinoa, oat flakes, corn, cooked unprocessed meat and fish, berries, nuts and seeds. They also like meal worms very much! Thanks for watching!
I guess Peach was much happier with you.
Peach didn't pass his rehab as he didn't get along with other crows. He had become imprinted on us, so had to bring him back home and he has been our family member ever since. There are lots of recent Peach videos on our channel!
Really? Really, really? I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT! Congratulations, my friend!!!!!
Yes, we have been very happy to have Peach as our family member! We wanted to give him a chance to be wild and free but he didn't fit in with other crows and after more than two weeks at the rehab we decided to bring him back home. We love him very much and since he is imprinted on us, we are feeling fully responsible for him! Thanks for watching and there are a lot more Peach videos on our channel that you might enjoy!
Why peach leave home.?
, I don't know I would have kept that bird till the day one of us died I guess it's best for the bird but it would have killed me to give it up like that oh boy life as a depressed person
We did go back and bring him home again though. Watch this video about the story of our pet crow. th-cam.com/video/tXhMMDOR6k8/w-d-xo.html
Does anybody know of a pet crow forum or blog... Where one can share ideas videos treats diets etc for our pet crows... Maybe FB page... Greetings from Africa
Yes, there are a couple of Facebook groups - For the Love of Crows and Crows and Crow Followers. Kullike is a member of these. Thanks for watching our videos!
He did not like that you had put him away. Should just have found some crows nearby,
Peach is back for good and our family member now! We will never part from him again! We just wanted to give him a chance to be a wild and free, but he had already become imprinted on us. Thanks for watching!
i heard i csnt own a crow. Because i live in U.S. ... Tell me this is a mistake. ...???..whats the deal w that....
Yeah I've heard it's not allowed in the U.S. for some reason, but it's allowed here in Canada as crows are not on any endangered list.
Crows are not endangered here in the U.S.. They're all over the place. Many people consider them to be pests, but I don't, but then again, I don't have crops to defend either.
Often times they're the first bird I hear in the morning.
SpiritBear ... Crows were, in fact, once severely endangered and were put on the list of those species, along with the American bald eagle, making it illegal to hunt or own them. Many chicks were lost because of DDT and adults were killed by hunting as crop pests. Though they are now plentiful, they are STILL on the list. I am not sure whether it is illegal to have one that was rescued, though. People in most neighborhoods have learned not to put trash bags out at night for trash pickup in the morning. Crows (and raccoons) have no hesitation in tearing into those bags and making a mess looking for goodies to snack on. I know that personally after having to pick up everything from my lawn in the morning a few times. lol
Hah, the crow, smartest bird... BTW I just got in my back forest to collect some mushrooms. heh 2 little birds coming, other was about 30cm nearby my face and other landing my back. I stay still and quietly stand up the bird tipi tipi on my shoulder. Noks noks my long hair ( or how it said not baiting but ... you know) Huh, animalwhisper like you...
That's so lovely to have a little bird on your shoulder! Do you really have mushrooms in the forest in Finland at this time of the year? What kind of mushrooms are they? Thanks for watching that older video! Peach didn't stay very long in that rehab, though.
jajajaj que hambre que tiene ja
Echamos un vistazo a la rehabilitación de la vida silvestre para ser lanzado. Él ha sido nuestro miembro de la familia desde entonces. Desde entonces hemos sido bendecidos con algunos cuervos más.
@@chv72 que lindo rehabilitarlos y luego dejarlos en su habitad natural , los felicito
Sí, eso es lo que hacen, pero algunas aves no pueden liberarse ya que no sobrevivirían en la naturaleza.
WHAT WAS HE EATING OUT OF THAT CUP.. JUST CURIOUS....
you cant just take a wild bird and feed it and take care of it since a baby then let it go and expect it to survive. in the wild the parents teach there babies life skills they need to live out in the wild.
You are so right! We realized that after we had taken Peach to the Rehab and he didn't get along with other crows there since he was already imprinted on us. This is why we brought him back and he has been our family member ever since! Thanks for watching and commenting!
oh good. .w.
We have lots of Peach videos on our channel that you might like! We lately adopted another unreleaseable crow with a broken wing from the wildlife rehab!
You look like steve carrel lol
I wish I had his fame .hahaha
rehb him to wild was big mistake sinc he was already attached nd used to you guys btw that place is no better than your home where he grow and he is used to. the place looks dirty and crappy
We just wanted to give him a chance to be wild and free but he wasn't wild any more anyways but was imprinted on us. Now he is our family member for good and we will never part from him as we love Peach so much!
thank you for bing so kind to animals. mother earth need more people like you
hard to part
It was very heartbreaking but we thought we were doing what was best for him at the time.
First minute of the video:
Peach: feeed me hooooman!!! Feeeeed!!!! *nom nom nom* More hooman moreeeee!!
Haha
I too have just rescued a crow which I found injured. He or she is not a baby, but is injured and cant fly, although he is improving, eats very well and I have never seen anything learn so fast. I will upload videos shortly. Well done to you!
They are amazing birds! They do learn fast and seem to have an incredible common sense, too! We still have our Peach. He spent over two weeks at that rehab but did not get along with other crows as he had become imprinted on us. So, we brought him back home and he has been our family member ever since! If the crow you rescued doesn't recover enough to be released, he would make a wonderful pet for you! Good luck with your crow! We would be happy to see the videos of him! Also, we have quite a few recent videos of our Peach on our channel!
Thank you for that, Orville is doing really well!
Glad to hear that! Orville is a great name for a crow!
what are you feeding him?
Soaked high quality dry dog kibble, hard boiled egg yolks, organic corn, cauliflower, berries, soaked nuts of all sorts, cooked quinoa, meal worms, crickets, unprocessed meat, cooked brown rice and wild rice, raw oat flakes.
PEACH SEEMS MAD
He might have been disappointed that we took him to that rehab! But he didn't pass it and is back home. He has been our family member since. We have quite a lot videos of Peach on our channel!
Peach acts like he's very upset with you for leaving him there. I hope you made it up to him.
We just wanted to give him a chance to live wild and free!
