ABSOLUTELY LOVE & ADORE CROWS.❤️ ALWAYS ENJOYABLE AND A PLEASURE TO SEE THEM. BEAUTIFUL & INCREDIBLE BIRDS. 💕💕😊😊 GREAT VIDEO !! THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING !!!
"Mine" (lol) dip their drybread in the water as they're taking a few sips, too. They CAN eat it dry, which worried me at first, and I've seen the parents teach their young on how to do it as the kids harass them, crying to be mouth-fed...
I was told I should not feed bread to birds. They take it, but bread is not good for birds. Nuts or bird seeds are better. I usually give them different kinds of nuts, and sometimes plain scrambled eggs (no salt, no pepper).
Yes they are beautiful creatures, but beware in feeding them. They love unsalted peanuts in the shell, I was feeding a group of 4 for months, three of the four got the message not to harass me with their cawing, but one just would not get the hint, and only cawed more when I refused to give him/her anymore than what I had already given them, and would station itself outside my apartment, and harass me with it's calling, or wait for me above my truck, smart enough to know which vehicle in the apartment complex was mine, but stupid enough not to get the hint that that's all you will get today
@F Sully They usually don't caw at me. One month ago, one of them was sitting nearby and cawed when I put down the food. But this was only once. I go into the kitchen after putting down the food, and sometimes I see them through the window when they come. I do not try to feed them directly. I believe that direct feeding is crow family business. I don't want to cross this border. As soon as the young crows are old enough, the parents stop feeding. Sometimes they find food that a crow has hidden. This is more what I wanted to do: Hide food that they can easily find. By now they know that I don't hide the food for myself. Maybe the crow cawed at me when it realized this. In fact the food is not hidden at all, because it is in the same places every day. I guess it is a good compromise: I give them food and I keep an adequate distance. This is my way of showing respect for their social rules. I'm not acting like a parent crow. They don't have much reason to caw at me.
Love the metal clanging sounds from 3:30 as the young breaks open those nuts against the side of the bowl. Possibly a future iron-monger in the making. . . 😂
Mom and dad and babies. At the beginning you can see both parents (dad behind mom, he has a small white spot above one eye). I have also videos of the nest with all four babies.
It would certainly be fun to watch. I know they are clever, but I have decided not to do any more experiments with my bird visitors. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
