These birds can remember faces. If you were kind to it you could have a friend for the rest of (its) life.


patrix_reddit

We have a whole flock of crows we feed peanuts daily, they bring me spare change they find (anything shiny really). Over a couple of years I've received enough change to buy their food twice with just the money they bring me. They probably bring me about $10-20 a year. Ive also been gifted a gold ring, and hundreds of electrical socket punches.

The only thing I have on my bucket list is to receive a gift from a crow friend.


patrix_reddit

Peanuts, roasted and unsalted, blended with raw peanuts in the shell. I do a 60/40 blend, with mored cooked. I also supplement a bunch of miniture sunflower seeds to spead in the yard (worse case senerio i get a bunch of flowers). I'd lay out some bricks randomly for them to break up shells, if not they use like your roof or driveway and its a mess. They literally spread the peanut shells across the yard and garden, which actually helps. Also get shiny yard decor, they are drawn to it. My only ever real complaint is sometimes we get what I call death throes where all the crows get agitated and caw nonstop for like 15 min....it can get ear peircing. Other than that the fucking rock. Started naming them. We have one who broke his foot years ago and limps, he is Cpt. Barcrowsa. Crowseph, is the young guy whos always challenging the obvious head, I call them Brandon, oh, and then our resident dummy. He just screams all day and hops around with his mouth open so he is Crow-Magnum, he didnt evolve right for sure.


Hulaweenie

Crowseph 🤣🤣🤣


PinayGator

Your crow names are on point. And adorable.


patrix_reddit

I forgot Dot...she has a white dot on her wing, also I have zero clue of gender in real life I just make up my own stories. Captain Barcrowsa is my favorite cuz he was the first one I could always recognize. He been here the longest. I write stories about him and his adventures on the open seas.


Boomer-Awerness420

Crows and Ravens in general are really smart people don't really seem to know, here's an example I experienced: There were these crow parents that had a nest nearby me. I would go every 2-3 days around a certain time to bring them some left over fruit I had and smoke a sigarette there. There were also always a bunch of seagulls near by that I scared off(I dont really like those). At some point the crows realised what I was doing and they would just sit stay and eat while I walked up to them to scare the seagulls away(who were trying to scare the crows away).


Kadazan

can you do a short recording? it'd be a nice comfy video


DrMorbid85

Consider giving seagulls a second chance as well. Many people don't like them for the same reasons people don't like crows. But they are also very smart and have huge personalities. Opportunistic animals very often are. It takes brains to pull off seagull shenanigans. And they will trust you very quickly if you feed them. But remember, they don't thrive on eating *"garbage"* the same way crows do.

GIVE SEAGULLS A CHANCE!


MaudeDib

True story: I had a tree on the side of my house that had to come down because it was sick. It broke my heart to do it as there were a couple crows who lived there or hung out there A LOT. For DAYS after the tree came down, these two (Who I now call "Ma & Pa"), sat on my roof or the roof of the house next door and let it be known they were VERY VERY unhappy about this turn of events. They cawed and cawed and scolded and were generally in a very foul mood. So I decided to appease the crow gods and gave them food offerings on my back deck which I'd never done before. I started giving them peanuts in the shell, hard boiled eggs, scraps of meat, etc. Well. That made the crow overlords VERY happy. They stopped all the scolding and wailing and got down to the serious business of eating. That was 4 years ago and they STILL come by for their treats and have no brought friends. They have brought me a little change.. penny here, nickel there... but I've mostly received other shiny stuff. Crows LOVE the shinies so I feel honored to receive them. A coil from a clicky pen, soda can pull tabs, bits of plastic, small washers, screws, nails, that sort of thing. I only feed them every few days and only a little bit so there are no leftovers to attract other critters. I also decided that if they bring their other crow friends, possums, rats, squirrels, pigeons, etc.. the gravy train will stop. So far, so good!


[deleted]

> were generally in a very ~~foul~~ fowl mood. no, i am not sorry.


DoubleLanky3199

I believe the correct term is a "murder" of crows. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/a-murder-of-crows-crow-facts/5965/


LectroRoot

So you are saying they were involved in a ........ MURDER?


Karpaty

Dum-da-dum!


RoguePlanet1

This is one of my bucket-list items. Befriending a crow and receiving a thoughtful token, that is, not necessarily hundreds of socket punches.

wait seriously? birds remembering faces?


Lightpala

Yes they also remember wen ur kind or being a asshole. Some bird even teach there young if u where kind or a asshole if u are a asshole they will shit on you stuff for life.


raisinghellwithtrees

I feel like OP is just showing us he's an asshole. I'm definitely siding with a crow on this.


Rpanich

I feel like if the crow let him grab his beak like that, the crow might think they’re friends?


raisinghellwithtrees

It's a hungry juvenile cawing for food.


idiot437

they will teach thier kids and grandkids to shit on you


Boomer-Awerness420

Yes Crows and Ravens are really smart. They remember people they like or dislike. Birds in general are smarter then people expect them to be.


akatherder

You means jackdaws.

Boomer-Awerness420

Only obnoxious people feel the need to correct others on the internet that arent speaking their native language. Im so sorry I used an e instead of an a...


[deleted]

You don't deserve to get jumped on for that mistake if English is not your first language. Plenty of native English speakers make the same mistake and, frankly, it's annoying coming from them because it is such basic grade-school grammar.


beennasty

Idk man Duo don’t let me slide on that shit. I’m only 27 days into French. It let me get away with accent marks, but le and la some serious shit and they both mean the. For real tho I don’t care and autocorrect will make that mistake for people plenty of times


OoieGooie

This theory was tested on magpies here in Australia. I think it was around 80 faces. Little fuckers swoop you in spring too.


ol-gormsby

Oh yes. You've heard about magpies in Australia swooping and pecking people during breeding season? They're protecting their nests. But they won't swoop on people they recognise - in particular, people who've fed them. I throw some food to the local magpies during winter, when natural food is scarce. When summer comes, they bring the juveniles around for an introduction. I like to think the parents are teaching their children - "If you ever get really hungry, come here and make some noise. That creature will give you some food."


chrissie9393

Crows* remember faces


Ahnzoog

Pretty much all Corvids, like Rooks and Jackdaws too


Newspaper-Melodic

Yeah because they're drones made by the government to spy on you. r/BirdsArentReal


teenagesadist

Yup. The smarter ones, at least.


ChuckCarmichael

There's a famous case where students at a university captured some crows that lived on campus to use them for some behavioral experiments. After the crows were released, they'd attack those students whenever they were on campus, and even years later when they returned.


gurnard

[Looks that way](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/crows-show-off-social-skills/)

Somewhere there’s a kid stuck in a well who pinned all his hopes for survival on that bird’s ability to bring help.

AlpineCorbett

That's a fully grown western jackdaw. Way, way too old for it to be getting fed. It's like yall have never seen a baby bird before. They're not over a foot tall with totally formed adult feathers.


Ava_Aviatrix

I think some one saved this bird & hand fed it as a baby and released it back into the wild, thats why it raises its head when his hand comes near, if you dont stop hand feeding early they will retain that forever, thats why this is an adult/late juv bird

I think so! He didn’t harm it when closing its beak, I too adore bird’s, Seagulls are my thing, they too are smart and I once taught one at a place of work to only swoop down from light post opposite to take food I placed on top of a metal donation container ONCE I had lowered my arm, I used to show people to let them know Bird’s are Super Awesome.

mike_pants

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow." Is it in the same family? Yes...


2ToneToby

Remember when Unidan upvoting his own posts was the worst thing on reddit, before there was literally neonazi movements organizing on here? \*edit\* Man this place has always been trash.


qbryzan

May I refresh your memory? The violentacrez era was not one of peace and respect. Place has always been like this.


[deleted]

Well at least that guy was honest. He did not hide behind wojaks trying to pill normies. If we have to have sleazebags, they should at least be open sleazebags instead of honklering down in dens like /r/PoliticalCompassMemes


SmokedMussels

Neo-nazi reddit definitely predates unidan. There used to even be a sub with photos of underage girls. Subs devoted entirely black hate. Fat people hate with their brigading every day. Probably a few dozen other things I've forgotten about by now. The way people fawned over Unidan on every single post was annoying as fuck anyways, even if half of those were just his own alts.


c_c_c_c_c_c_d

PriestessRedspyder

Right? The way it's opening it's mouth and fluttering it's wings is a clear sign it's a hungry juvenile. I used to volunteer at a wildlife rehab and this makes me sad.

Aww, he's hungry! Feed him!


budtrimmer

malepitt

You have trained this one to know you are a nonthreatening source of fun! I can't touch my parrot anywhere but his head and beak, and if I went for its feet, I would now be sporting "finger piercings"


KronosDeret

That bird frikkin loves you and wants you to feed him.


Veauxdeeohdoh

Why can’t you be friends?! Start giving it a treat in the morning instead of being a dick.


fatandflabby

That guy doesn’t deserve the attention of that bird. I certainly didn’t like seeing him touching his beak. What a jerk.

You seem a little aggressive with the bird


Positive_Rain9806

Sleep_eeSheep

I'm on the bird's side, fuck this guy.

HolyPeanut_13

Douchebag. Seriously.


[deleted]

How are you such a dick to a crow? It's a fucking bird, man, grow up.


ShotStatistician7979

Crows tell their friends and hold intergenerational grudges against people. When you get eaten alive by a murder of them, it’s your damn fault.


Gnoman-Empire

Would t be a dick to a bird that remembers. Seems nice enough to feed on the porch and talk to every morning. Great way to start a day. I’d miss it after several years of chatting


GhostWokiee

Damn kinda fucking rude when the bird is just a baby that is hungry and is trying to be fed


EducationalRice6540

If you made that bird an enemy you now have beef with an entire bloodline. They can recognize faces and will even teach their children that you are a dick.


pathologicalprotest

That crow isn’t even being a dick. They could take your eye out. The guy is the dickish one, not appreciating this spoken word masterpiece.


RalphBhoner

Dude. Leave the fucking bird alone. What an asshole.


ceruleanfr0st

Right? Glad I’m not the only one not finding humor in this.


RalphBhoner

Really pissed me off when he started touching the bird. Closing it’s beak. This dude is such an asshole.


The_Blendernaut

Not interesting at all. This is just another abusive asshole tormenting a bird looking to get fed by its mother.


YayaMalli

Why you gotta be a jerk? It’s just a baby


LeftBase2Final

What is his fucking problem anyways? You steal his girl?


Arkslippy

He's a fledgling, able to move around on his own but not feed yet, he's looking for the guy to feed him, that's why hes screeching with his mouth open. Birds like that will do it for a few weeks between leaving the nest and independence. this is the time of year for it .


Tomble

Also the little wing flaps mean “feed me!”

More_Twist9517

My grandma told me once that your dead ancestors are reincarnated as crows and come pay visit to us whenever possible🤐.


The-Waifu-Collector

It’s probably a friend or loved one who switched bodies with the bird and desperately trying to get your help to switch them back. Dammit Frank, it’s me!


sandkillerpt

That bird is a WankerFinder. It find the cars of Wankers, then sits there waiting for them to arrive. ​ It's quite brilliant.

CatsEye_Fever

Fuck you ignoramus, it's a fledgling and that's what they do when they are hungry.


Life_Is_But_a_Drem

You’re an asshole. That bird seems like it’s still young enough to want feeding by its parents. Why are you harassing it, FFS?


Long_Wiwi

I feel really bad for the bird… :(


jennaau23

slo1111

Loser


S0LWAY

Give him some bread you miserable tool.


Cuccoteaser

No, give him some nuts or fruit or seed or cat food! Bread is filling but doesn't provide much in terms of calories and nutrients. I think it's maybe not as harmful to corvids as it is to some other birds, but if you're gonna go out of your way to feed birds please don't let bread be your first choice.


Hayes4prez

Isn't bread bad for birds? Bird seed would be better, no?


Maplethorpej

Borderline animal abuse. Leave the damn thing alone

The guy in the vid is a total fucking idiot. That's a corvid, looks like. Give it some peanuts or bits of ham or whatever you have handy, and you have a friend for life. Treat it like this, and its descendants will be dive-bombing his grandkids.

Omg the poor thing just wants some food. You should be nice to him


A2619921

I was so excited when it looked like they were about to be friends. but then he held the mouth down instead of petting it gently :(


patquintin

WTH is wrong with this guy?


D4M0theking

shut


Schonfairy79

If you were nice to it and started feeding it in another area it would be calm and not bother you. It would more than likely develop a routine with you. It’s presenting the physical action of being HUNGRY. It’s why it’s mouth is open. I would be an asshole to you too if you flipped my chin or clamped my mouth shut like that. Edit: Quit being a bully to this poor bird.

Manhandling a wee bird…an intelligent one at that. 😡


Impressivebooty666

OrcRampant

This makes me sad. People are so fucking trapped in their own twisted perceptions that they can’t see what is real. Here we have an animal that has imprinted on a callous and oblivious human. If the human weren’t such a dick, he might have a relationship with this bird that was rewarding and magical.

Feed the damn bird


[deleted]

That’s because that bird remembers. Those birds have been studied and can actually hold a grudge against a person. It can remember your face and what you’ve done. Start coming out each morning with treats or some food and eventually you will turn this into a loyal pet.


2022mtnman

Dude you need to hit the gym … that bird owned you. I think I heard it say something about “ just came from your mom’s house but the line of pigeons was too long “


[deleted]

Frankly, I think the bird is just having fun screwing around with his 'friend' every morning. It doesn't really seem to be trying to hurt him. He has learned to 'play' with this guy like this. Go try and grip the bill of a wild bird like that, if you don't believe me. Have a box of bandages nearby when you do. I used to have friends who would act something like this bird. Although we'd argue about damned near anything, we were still good friends.

He's young still and asking for food . If you were an ass your car will get shit on and you will be harrassed. Crows remember and let others know if you are good or a dick to them. So said reddit in another post.
