The trust of a wild animal is one the biggest honours in the world. I'm so impressed that he trusts you this much! We're honoured each year when our crow family trusts us with their babies. They let their babies hang out right near us, while they hang out further way, getting some much needed alone time with each other.
@@jackiereamy4871 yup I arrive home and Ive got 5 crows on my roof all glaring at me to hand over the good stuff,as soon as I put it out on the wall, they all swoop down gone in like 5 seconds :D
Good, my crow buddies in Az. ate breakfast with my big black cat frequently and the looked out for each other...super cool critters! both my kitter and the crows...lol
So. I have a crow that always comes and eats food I throw out. I NEVER EVER throw away food in the trash, because that’s stupid. Anyway. I’ve been trying to talk to this crow and just a little bit ago he was on the branch outside my bedroom window. I said hey how you doing?!? And waved and off he/she went. I want to get closer to this crow because I’m not good with people and they wear me out.
Just keep talking, feeding, visiting. I’ve found that a calm manner with zero expectations makes them more comfortable. They are also more comfortable if you don’t face them directly. Turn to the side a little, it makes body language look less predatory. Your crow friend will warm up to you in whatever way they feel most comfortable.
@@TheCrowLady thank you so much! When I go outside I’m always so excited to see my crow that I go HEY CROW HOW YA DOING! ?! And I wave facing it. I will try your method, and I will report back when I see behavioral changes in my bird friend. Wish me luck! I already threw food out today 3 times, and he/she came by around two o clock I noticed and ate some of the food. Later on my big crow friend had called it’s friends and brought some crows that were smaller.
It varies with each crow, and they all have their own sense of safety, but with Bo it took several months of visiting for hours each day and hanging out. It was during the pandemic. He’s the ambassador to the crows. Now I have lots of buddies! But only Bo does headstands.
Did anything special happen with this crow, like did you meet him as a baby or rescue him? You are very fortunate to have a wild bird trust you like that. :)
I’ve known him since he was (I think) about 2. I don’t know his background before that but he’s only friends with a few people he really trusts, so not imprinted on humans. He was the ambassador of the crows for me. 🖤
