crow

s in your neighborhood? It can be from your window, from your balcony, on the street or in a nearby park. Crows are cultural followers, they live everywhere people live. Therefore, there is a high probability that they are already your neighbors. If you notice a large group of crows, you can try to contact them. However, it is much easier if it is a resident pair of crows with a fixed territory.

Because this way you can be sure that you will always interact with the same birds and little by little you will be able to get to know each other. Crows eat occasionally; They will eat anything from insects to invertebrates, meat or carrion, all types of nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits. So if you offer them some of this, they will be happy. Not suitable: bread, spices, salt, chocolate. If possible, always offer food in the same place, at the same time of day, to establish a daily routine. Remember these are wild birds. Watch for non-verbal cues such as flight posture and gaze.

Keep your distance and look away if you notice the bird is anxious. An open, undirected gaze in the bird's approximate direction will have a less alarming effect on it. You can stay close while they feed. Sit calmly and avoid quick movements. You need a lot of patience. Your crow may be very shy at first. Give him time to get to know you. Crows watch us humans very closely. They are very intelligent and may know you better than you think. They know your face and will remember your kindness. Talk to them if you want, the crows like that one!

Spend time with them from time to time so they can get to know each other, observe you, and build trust. I hope this helps you build a relationship with these fascinating birds. They are loyal friends and have brought so much joy to my life.
