The Crow I had coming to me all summer has moved on now and I hope he returns over the winter. I miss him very much .

An addition to the looking at them. I noticed that my adult crows who have known me for more than a year seem to not mind me looking at them from one meter away. The exception is while they are feeding. If I look at them during their favorite activity (taking as much food in their beak as somehow possible) then they often interrupt picking up the food, look at me and wait.

The less brave, less familiar crows often fly towards my balcony and turn around in the last moment when they notice that I happen to be looking in the direction of their intended landing spot.

The young crows do not even approach food on the lawn while I am looking at them from the balcony (with no possibility to get closer to them) if that food is close to the balcony.

I guess crows feel especially vulnerable during picking up food. This does make sense as they are much less capable to watch their surroundings then.

I'm sure you get a ton of messages, but I finally made friends with some crows at my work. Today I stuck my hand out and let them see my very glittery nails. He looked and them and made a very low "ooowaaa" sounding noise twice, grabbed some peanuts I left for him and few away. WHAT DOES OOOWWWAAAA MEAN?!?! Lol I cried I was so happy.

for 3 or 4 years local crows passionately hate my neighbor and we don't know why . the same crow will swoop in from behind and peck his head even make a mess of his trash bags but never touch other people 's bags. i can even tell when he's outside because all the crows gather on the power line and let him know they're not happy with him it's hilarious

Thank you! After losing a couple of our dear chickens to hawk predation and learning that crows help keep hawks at bay, we started trying to charm crows into our garden. One day, the hawk was circling above the coop and the crows flew in and started circling there too! The hawks took off! We hear the hawks less and less each day.

The crows are not only livestock guardians...they are friends. It will be a dream for them to come close.

imma lock in and befriend a crow watch i’ll come back to this video soon with this new knowledge i’ve obtained

[nomadicmagician]

This is a really good guide. I want to befriend a crow because I have noticed a crow who seems to follow me around my neighborhood when I drive around and stay near my house. He must live somewhere very near me. I have also seen him and another crow perched on the tree outside my house. They seem to be interested in me and like observing me. I am a very spiritual person and I believe the crows intuitively pick up on that. Like, they can feel that my soul is gentle and want to be near me because of that. This video has given me a lot of hope that I'll be able to befriend these crows who seem to already want to be friends. Thank You!

I actually got friendlier with one of the fledglings than the parents this (my first) season. Parents still flee my gaze and will mostly be at a distance in the surrounding trees while I am out. If I have forgotten to feed them (I'm quite erratic, especially now that the parents aren't direct-feeding their fledglings), one of the fledglings can come alone, land on the edge of the roof directly above my head, and do some small-talk. Naturally it pays off greatly when he or she does...

I've been palling with the local magpies for years now.
_thanks for this!_

[GM-qqwi]

I had a magpir friend for a few months last year. I found him/her in the grass, as a chick, when mowing the lawn and couldn't find the nest, so I built a makeshift nest on my veranda (porch) and fed it every time I heard it screaming. If it wasn't in the nest screaming at the top of its tiny lungs for food, it was hopping around the porch and in the garden eating bugs or playing with the dogs. Eventually, it figured out how to fly and would follow me and my dogs around when we went on walks, gliding at knee height, I guess it felt like one of the dogs. I knew it was going to leave soon when it was capable of flying 19kms into town and locating my car at work. Sometimes, I wouldn't see it for days, and it would reapear at home looking for food or playing with the dogs, with a flock of magpies in tow. It eventually stopped visiting, but l left the nest outside in case he/she needed it again.

These are great tips. I’m in the process of befriending a pair of crows now. I live on the edge of a small German village and a pair has nested for years in some trees near my house. One of them will fly down and land several feet away to wait for some treats. The other watches from the tree and flies down as soon as I turn my back on the food. They clearly treat other humans differently than me, so I take their trust very seriously. Nice content, thanks for posting.

Crows visit me several days a week. I have yet to gain proximity interaction however there does seem to be unspoken communication.
Thank you with gratitude for this data this Day 💟

Greetings from Belgium. Thank you so much for this wonderful piece. I recently started to make friends with the crows in my local park. It is an amazing experience and your advice has been very helpful. They are such unique and interesting creatures and the connection with them and nature has given me so much joy. Best wishes.

[paulrozenboim]

Thank you for explaining this. Ive been making friend with Edgar, Allan and Poe for a couple years now. This video explained many of the behaviours I've seen on my 3 feathery friends...

[lovenikolatesla]

I appreciate this video very much, which is very informative. I learned a lot from watching it, especially
since the crows and ravens have been feeding on my balcony a lot recently.

[valdeck]

Thanks for that very nice video.
I do appreciate your first-hand knowledge contained in it.
I also like the sound of your voice.

Keep them coming!👍🙂

Здравствуйте. Вы замечательный блогер. Очень ценные съемки ворон вблизи. Я благодарю вас за советы.
Я кормлю ворон рядом с работой. Меня всегда ждет одна ворона. Она громко зовет своих друзей, когда видит меня. Я сыплю арахис на землю и ухожу в сторону. Начинается шоу. На выходных я не хожу на работу и не кормлю их. Я волнуюсь в это время.
Вороны удивительные создания. Их полет похож на военный самолёт. Виртуозные виражи. Часто они летают просто для радости. Гоняются друг за другом. Играют. Невероятные.❤
