Peach comes back home after we decide to raise him ourselves. Here's the link to the full story of our pet crow: • STORY OF OUR PET CROW Please click the link below to watch pet crow leaves home • PET CROW LEAVES HOME
I had a pet crow for 33 years, even though their lifespan is 20. My mother named it "Candy". We found her at Shawnee mission park trying to fly and it was sad to watch. It was just a baby. So a few months after taking care of her. My whole family went to the same park to release her and said good bye. Well, that's what we all thought, she actually flew back our home an hour later. We knew we have a new pet, that's when my mother named her " Candy "☺. Candy lived for 33 years. She's buried in our back yard. Candy was very special friend than a pet.
what a lovely story, thanks so much for caring for Candy, you were meant to find her and Candy must have been extremely happy to live that long! I love all Corvids I have a family living in my chimney pots, there relatives are all on the same street. The Jackdaws follow me wherever I go, I adore them. so very intelligent. Thanks again for sharing your story about Candy! :)
Wow, he get's treated like a prince by you folks. Some humans don't even take care of their own children that well. He is a great and fascinating creature. He recognizes your kindness I'm sure.
When you took him to the rehab center and visited, it looked like he went to school and he was your kid and he didnt want to be petted in front of his peers. When you brought him back home he looked relaxed when he entered the backyard. As long as the bird is happy and healthy , you guys are his parents and he will let you know when he want to mate.
This is why I have my Crow living in my house..he couldn't cope by himself either , like Peach....he doesn't want to leave and hurt himself every time I released him...so I let him choose and he chooses to stay .I have him 9months now since a 3 wk baby. He could not survive in the wild now. I love you for feeling the same compassion for your Peach. ♡♡♡
Dennis F Yes I wish I had a garden so I could make one like yours, with a grass bottom , for my Nevermore...but he does have a large three sided shelter we built on my balcony that he used to use. He won't go outside now as 4months ago he was knocked by other Crows into a chimney ..it took me a terrible time and expense to get the people to let us inside to rescue him. It almost killed him...and I never tried to force him to be free again after that, ..he is healthy , loved and happy with us. Bless you both and your Peach. I do have some videos of my Nev on a youtube here under my name if you were interested in seeing him.
fiona cahill Aww that's such a sad story about those other crows and being stuck in that chimney.Your Nevermore is lucky to have a wonderful person like you to care for him.Yes we would love to see those videos.
Dennis F Thankyou for your kind words, Yes, it was sad for him..I was in tears of joy at first thinking they were accepting him finally , this was a third attempt...and they were curious but not unkind this time , but because Nev was a bit wobbly still as a new flier, they were swooping and trying to encourage him off the roof as they do with fledglings , when one of them knocked into him.. and he just toppled inside. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was sick with shock, my old dog even yelped...we were all on the balcony watching him having decided to do this meet n greet the local Crow pod nearby the flat , so Nev could retreat quickly if there was trouble. It was devastating to see all the visiting Crows fly off cawing at each other, as I knew then that he really had fallen in...and that he was considered a goner as they'd clearly given up on him. The people were unhelpful and not prepared to let us try to get him out. They had blocked up their walls and fireplaces they said....after 11hours with me having a breakdown , and sobbing on the phone to my family in Ireland , as I ranted my plans for a home invasion...lol...my boyfriend went over and paid them to let him in, it took only the removal of 6 screws and some hoovering afterwards to get him out of there in the end. They just had an electric fire over a board on the fireplace . My boyfriend had him home to me and their house back to normal all in 20mins! Shame on them. I would tear my house down if something living was trapped in my walls. It really traumatised him, he became very wary as his sight was damaged in one eye and his throat too , from soot and dirt ,he almost suffocated in there. His eye and throat are healed now but its left him very wary of going back outside where he can see the roof chimney right in front of us , and hear the Crows too. ....but he is getting braver by the day, and he is very happy and healthy now. I just need to clip his talons , being indoors they have grown too long. If you look at my fiona cahill channel there are only about 3/4 videos on there , theres one on my g+ too of Nev brought outside in his adapted dog crate this summer , after the accident, for some fresh air and important sunshine. Best of luck with your Peach...I can see how much you care about her. I call Nev a he but I often think I'm wrong and he is a she. Lol . its hard to tell.
Such a wonderful and smart creature.Thank you for allowing us to see Peach- And thank you for giving him such a wonderful home. Plus allowing him the choice to get his freedom. Thanks
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed watching our Peach. He is a very delightful little bird and we love him very much. Yes, we try to give him as much freedom as possible but he prefers to spend any quiet time in his cage as he feels safe there. Just comes out to play and explore.
My father and Uncle raised a crow that they found in similar circumstances when they were young. His name was Jake. They intended to release him and they did when he was roughly a year old but he stayed and made his home on the roof of the house. he would follow them to school everyday and wait for them. he would follow them wherever they went and would spend some nights inside but he was free to come and go. my father told me they would check the nest he had up on the roof and would find watches, coins and any other colorful or shiny objects he would collect. They are extremely clever animals and can live a very long time, up to 30 years i think.
OMGosh, THANK YOU....I just finished the video where you brought peach to this nasty dirty place and I felt like him....abandoned. I understand!!!! You have his best interest in heart! I salute you for that and taking him back........man, I can go to sleep happy!
My Mum loved birds, especially crows. I noticed when I went to visit, one particular crow would come on the porch and look in the window for her, and when he saw her,he would knock on the door. She would always take him a treat, so every day about the same time he would come for his treat. He started bringing his babies and other family members, she had quite a few bird friends, they would even sit on the porch with her and just hang out.
Crows are amazing birds, one of my favorites. They get such a bad rap in the movies. Thank you for showing how wonderful they are and taking such good care of "Peach".
Dennis, you and your wife are awesome folks! I have enormous admiration and respect for you, both. Your love for Peach, Sammie, and Kassie radiates to all of us, and brings us joy. God Bless Your Hearts.
Johny Cash's favorite bird. He shot one crow hunting....it was not killed. He felt really bad about that and nursed it back to health and became his best friend. Cash never shot another crow. That is where he got his idea for wearing black according to those who knew him.
Great video. You're very kind to Peach. I had a pet dove for 21 years and he just passed away last June. I miss him very much. I hope you get to enjoy Peach for at least that long!
Thanks for watching and telling us about your dove! Birds are lovely creatures. Kullike once rescued and later released a pigeon way back in Estonia years ago.
I had a pet crow a few years ago....raised it from a chick like you did. Fed him moistened dog food when it was young like you. My wife taught it several words like "I love you"..."hello"...."bye, bye". Took it inside for the winter but come spring I let it stay outside. I eventually started leaving a day at a time and then days at a time. I finally only came back once a month and eventually stopped visiting entirely. It harassed the cats a lot and was bad to pick up anything shiny and fly off with them. I really enjoyed raising it, very intelligent birds!!!
I had this large fountain in my complex and I kept finding large chunks of bread in. I thought it was a tenant doing it for the birds. Nope finally saw who it was, the crows.
Soooo Happy you bought PEACH back HOME, I was sad when you took him to the Sanctuary I know you wanted the best for him, as I can clearly see you both are Loving Kind People.But he is better off with you. I love his big Avery, you can let him come and go at HIS Choosing. He missed you both the 9 day's he was away from HOME!!! LOVE YAH PEACH!!!💛💚💜❤️❣️
You both have love that is so so fabulous for all of your birds! They are blessed and lucky to have human parents like you! I am soo glad that you decided to raise Peach and all of the birds that you raise! They are fond of you and you can see this! They love to be with you and around you as well as close to you! You love them and they love you right back!
That bird is so fortunate to have you all who love and adore him so much. I guess that you all don't have any children around and this crow is like a child to raise and pamper.
I see these people who have a relationship with animals and I am overcome with joy,I cannot help but be happy bout the whole thing.Bird good,people good.I have 6 cats .4 yrs. ago I had 13 cats but old age you know .The only down side is most of the time they will pass before you do and its so ,so hard then .missing them is so hard.To those involved in having a family of animals ,you have something special.Get em .
Great job with Peach. One of my dogs kept looking up every time Peach squawked...it was hilarious to watch. I'm hoping my friend, a falconry expert, comes across an abandoned raven chick someday, or any in the Crow family, they are all so smart and funny. The Jays get a little loud, but still very clever. Thanks for the video, my dog and I enjoyed it.
When I see the crows scavenging outside our local mall; some disabled in one way or another, it makes me understand that Peach is one lucky crow to live with you two! Well done.
Thanks for watching our videos, Patrick! Yes, we did get our Peach back! Here's a link to the full story of Peach! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tXhMMDOR6k8.htmlAlso, we have been blessed with two more crows and a talking magpie since as you can see from our recent videos!
how wonderful. we have worked with many Crows over the years. they all came back...and they bring their young ones with them to eat at our Crow Station. we have 3 who chose to live with us. you have made a wonderful life for Peach!
Thanks for watching our videos and for your nice comment! They really are amazing birds! Peach keeps impressing us with his intelligence every day! :-) There are a lot more videos of him on our channel!
My pet crows loved getting parcels with food treats inside, just put some dry pasta, some bickies wrap up with paper, and just screw up both ends of paper will look like bon bons. They enjoy ripping thru the parcel to get at their edible surprise. Also they like to stash treats for later, so they need spots for hiding their stashes, with some paper towels around, they pick up the paper towels and put it over their stash to hide it, that's what they do in the wild, to hide some food for later. Shell grit, they loved eating it too. Loved peeling cardboard of sides of boxes. I made toys out of cardboard, like cuttung thin spirals around toilet paper cardboard tubes. Loved watermelon. I miss my darling crows, if you ever get a female crow, its important for her to have extra at 3 years of age. My darling girl died from being egg-bound, I didn't know enough about that at the time. Calcium to make egg shell harder so it is easier to push out. Impossible to push out soft shelled eggs.
Thanks for the tips for entertaining a crow. We'll try some of these out and some we have already. They sure are active birds and steady looking for something to entertain themselves with! Also, thanks for telling us about your bird. It is very sad what happened to her. We have heard about them sometimes getting egg-bound. That's very scary. You mean, they need extra calcium when they reach 3 years of age? Our Peach will be 2 years in May. We might have to have a test done to find out if Peach is he or she, so we would know what to watch out for. Thanks for watching our videos and, again, for sharing great tips and information!
Thankyou, my girl was a real special to me, I am in Australia, she was a '' New Caledonian Crow, they have beautiful blue eyes and their feathers are white underneath. I wish that I studied up more about it all. She could talk very human-like exactly my voice, she said all of my dogs names and said '' I'm goin to getcha!( get you)'' as I used to play a chasing game with her, I would be saying those words while chasing her, making out that I really wanted what she had in her beak, she knew I was after it and was thrilled with the chase, kept looking back at me to see how close I was getting, lol so funny, wish I filmed her. I did manage to do a few little video from my phone, I might post them to you. Other words were ''Nisha, Zoe, Roley ''Hello/ Oi ! /Hey! / Hurry up! / Come on/ copy my Rooster named 'Stumpy' crowing also. Sorry, I forgot to explain that at 3 years of age is when they grow eggs, go into season. It would be good to make sure she's got enough calcium, that's if she's a she. as the eggs would be drawing on her body supply. Cheers!
Your crow must have been so beautiful and lovely! It would be great if you could post some clips of her on your channel. I hope our Peach is a boy but now I feel we should have him/her checked to know for sure, so we could give Peach some extra calcium. Thanks again, Eugenia, for telling us about that! It is a very valuable information!
We watched these clips of your beautiful bird. She was so adorable! Beautiful blue eyes and white undercoat, so unique and pretty! Very sad to think what happened to her. You have a beautiful memory of her.
Outstanding job with Peaches amazing aviaries (yes a fortune), and bringing him back home to raise brought tears. You are two of the world's most amazing people. Your love for him is real.
Since I became a subscriber in 2020, I've slowly been going through the early videos and really enjoy watching Peach's changes and how Dennis and Kullike have become great crow parents through the years.
Thats a very nice in door Avery. i had a Bearded Dragon lizard that i built a huge aquarium type enclosure for him something like what you have there. i know they are not even close but animals are such a great experience to have in the house.
This was really touching seeing Peach in that other place, What a relief you brought him back home where he belongs .I did not see the reason you brought him home, but jolly glad you did, The new cage was first class, is Pie and Spice in that one now, Peach has brought years of happiness xxx
Ya'll (yes I'm from the south in the US) are so great to buy 2 such nice & large cages for him. They are both great. I too was worried a bit about that first small cage you had for him & it damaging his tail feathers. I love birds too & have had a few. They are very special creatures. Your loving caring for him is so great.
What a wonderful aspect of Love! This little bird would have died on that roadside...but by pure chance, he now thrives in the company of his "mom and dad" who have gone to some length to make sure Peach has nice accommodations. (Peach is a lucky bird !) .........Don't ever underestimate crows. They are among God's most intelligent creatures.....even making tools to help them obtain food.
Congratulation! In this plethora of junk upon junk, your video is a real breath of fresh air to me. I have watched all fours. I am very pleased to notice that there was no 'tin can rattle', known as modern music. I had a very similar experience. A chick had fallen down from the nest or, perhaps, thrown out by parents. I fed it and looked after. It turned out to be nightingale. I was living in a 3rd story flat. It used to fly around and perch on a makeshift tree trunk that I bought and installed in in a corner of the living room. It would sit on my shoulder and sing. It would also share our bed, sitting in the middle. The only problem was that we could not potty train it. Then one day it just flew away and never returned. It happened some 30 years ago. I still miss it. Yes, inter-specie, trust love and loyalty can be established. You have done a great job. I am sure you got great pleasure. Enjoy.
Your wife is so beautiful, kind and posed. I think she connects spiritually with Peach. Her name is? Both of you are wonderful people -need more of you.
Thanks for sharing, me and my friend enjoy watching corvid videos a lot. How would Peach react to kisses or gentle snuggles? I'm curious. My gut says birds wouldn't feel comfortable with either, even if they trusted their human friends a lot.
I do love your videos and the careful considerate way you treat our non-human friends. Your lifestyle seems so relaxing and meaningful. About Peach- will he stay with your forever ? He didn't integrate with other crows at the wild life centre, I believe, so will you be his guardians forever ?
Glad you like our videos! Yes, Peach is with us forever. As he had become imprinted on us, it wasn't possible to release him to the wild, so he is our family member now for good :-)
I have a pet Magpie called Pica Pica who was paralysed when I first got it as a fledgling six months ago, it now walks like a penguin but can fly around outside and always comes home. What a delightful bird and so funny, I think its a female because she loves men. My partner has just passed away and she seems a little lost. What I want to know is what I do with her as I need to go and see my 92 yr old mum for a few days.
Thanks for watching, Toni! Very sorry to hear you lost your partner! If you are driving to your mother's place, you might want to take the bird with you. We travelled to Northern Alberta from Saskatoon last summer for our holidays and we had all our birds with us. They travel very well!
Dennis, you'll have to watch some of my crow videos. I've made friends with a little murder here in Nova Scotia. We love them so much. When we lived in cape Breton we taught them to say "hello" when they wanted snacks. Here they pretty much just knock on the door. :)
My videos aren't near as exciting but I do love my crow family. I did contact a wildlife rescue about Gimpy but was told not much they can do if he still flies. I didn't expect him to do very well, but he's not being picked on and still hoppin along. 💪
@@chv72 Hello! I am from Ukraine. I live in Kiev, it is the capital of Ukraine. My crow live with me for a year. He lives in the kitchen. I have picked up him last year, he falled down from his nest. I gave him food. He was so young. Now he a little bit grew. I can't make a video becouse i don't have a camera. But I enjoy to watch your videos every day!
Not sure if you thought of this yet, but on the little cage, you can remove the cage door and refasten it at the bottom of the opening (I just used two tiny pieces of wire hanger bent into a circle to attach the door and cage at the bottom); then use a short chain attached on the side to lower it from a closed state to like a horizontal drawbridge, making the cage door a sort of 'porch' that Peach can sit on. I've done this with all of my birds, and they spend a lot of time just sitting on their 'porch'. I just use dog clips at the top to close it when necessary. It makes a nice fix when you use the cage for traveling. But my parrots are indoors, so I generally leave the doors open whenever I'm at home.
We keep his cage open most of the time, so he is free to come and go as he pleases. Thanks for watching and also advice on the cage arrangement! We appreciate that! :-)
I feed crows in Winter they always come back to eat ..when there is a very lot of snow they can't hunt so I give them food on top of the snow they are very very cute!
That's great you feed crows! We also feed crows wherever we can. They don't come to our yard, but when Kullike goes for a bike ride, she often takes some bread for the crows she'd come across! Thanks for watching!
Hi there! I have recently started following your channel and it's so interesting how you came to look after Peach. My daughter works in an animal sanctuary and we have a crow who.is blind we have called Freddie and he lives in an aviary in our garden. Because he was blind the other crows picked on him so my daughter brought him home and we love him 🙂
That is awesome that you brought Freddie home to live with you! They are such amazing birds! After we had brought Peach back home the next year they called us from the same wildlife rehab and asked if we would want a companion for Peach. So, sure enough, we brought home another crow since they could not release him due to the broken wing and he needed a permanent home. He was in a rough shape. Then, a year later, we ended up rescuing another one (Maple). We now have three crows and two magpies!
Such a great loving home you two have given Peach. That cage is just like the one my late husband and I had gotten for our cockatoo and he loved it. Of course, the bird would only be in it while we were at work and at night for bedtime. May you and Peach have many happy years together.
No, he isn't, but he stays oh his perches mostly and we put newspapers on the floor underneath. Fortunately he doesn't like walking on carpets but likes to play on kitchen floor that is easily cleanable. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi Dennis & Kullike, watching some of your older videos today. Peach is so cute playing with his mouse & ring. Does he still like to play with those toys? That's such a nice aviary Kullike constructed for him & now Cherry! Great cage y'all ordered too, he couldn't have asked for better accommodations. It's like the Ritz Carlton for crows, hehe! Hope they both enjoy their new interactive perch in one of those areas. :-)
Yes, Peach is still very playful! It's so funny to watch him hide his food to different places! Peach is very sceptical about new toys. I am slowly trying to introduce him to the toy that you sent. It's so beautiful and colorful and could give him and Cherry so much fun time! I might have to try to sand some of these bright colors off a little bit or maybe paint it over with some lighter or more dull paint since Peach is scared of bright colors. We have bought him some toys, too, that he has been scared of. In general, he is curious of any new object but if they are very bright colour, he's afraid of it! But don't worry, Amanda, I will modify it to Peach's liking! And if Peach likes it, Cherry will, too! Cherry seems to be much more open minded about anything new, probably because he has seen much more than Peach since he has even spent at least one winter in the States!
I had a pet crow too. He liked Cheerios, raw chicken eggs, and whole ears of corn. He would shuck the corn like a machine, and peck it dry. He flew away one day while I was cleaning his cage, and never came back.
