Updated PSA - I found a crow on the ground, what do I do?

53 Upvotes

This was my first time making a flow chart so please be kind.

It is important that we as a community work together to provide a safe space to share in our love of corvids, and it is equally important that we educate members of the community new and old to help protect our feathered friends; with that being said, u/teyuna reached out to me pleading that changes be made to the previously pinned PSA, with their help/feedback I was able to create the flow chart below, I hope that this is an adequate and more encompassing pinned post.

I appreciate this community more than I am capable of expressing, thank you for making this the best damn sub on reddit. ;)

Such cute noises! This was right after I gave her a grape for the first time.

I have a family of crows that come, and this is the Mom Crow, Hazel! I was eating grapes for lunch and she showed up, so I looked up if I could give her grapes. I think she liked it!

is it normal for a fledgling to shake like this? The other isnt and otherwise its behaving normally, its alert, eating drinking and flying around

Storytime! My husband just built me a crow feeding place. They are so majestetic they should be treated like in my artwork. 😁

Could anyone tell me what they think may be wrong with this crow that I regularly feed?

He’s been like this (but not really looking this bad) for at least two years. Early on I thought he was a baby but he never grew past a very tiny size, so it’s possible he’s even older.

He seems to be surviving, so I’m hoping whatever it is won’t end up killing him, but we’ve yet to have a harsh winter since I’ve seen him around.

Featuring the admirable, funny, and relatable patience of a parent in the video above. (54 sec, loud squawking with some airplane and wind background noise)

This is the seventh or so generation of crows I've been thankful to feed and observe in my work parking lot. I've purchased and distributed hundreds upon hundreds of pounds of unsalted peanuts, almonds, walnuts, dry dog food, boiled eggs, grapes, and more among these lovely little creatures over the years. And though I'm still ~20 years from retirement, I get sad thinking about who will feed them when I'm gone. (Who am I kidding? It will be me. I will feed them post-retirement, at least until I physically can't make it anymore). I have so much love for these intelligent little creatures.

Suggestions for crow set up

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi! I am trying to attract crows to my house. I never see any crows in the neighborhood so I know it might take awhile. I have a 16” bird bath with a container that will drip water into the bird bath. I’ve also set out unsalted peanuts and a can of water for dipping food. I bring in the peanuts at night. Is there anything I can add or change to make the area more attractive?

Thank you!!

juvenile crow living in backyard…help!

3 Upvotes

need some advice! i have a juvenile crow living in my backyard. he does not seem able to fly, but is pretty large (called a wildlife sanctuary who helped us figure out that he is a juvenile)

the problem is that we have three prey-driven dogs. one almost got a hold of him yesterday. my family cannot figure out what to do about this. our dogs need the backyard for exercise, but we don’t want this crow to get maimed. we also don’t want to try to move it because it seems like his family lives in one of the trees above. any advice?

General questions Isn’t he too old to ask for food?

I’m no expert but this little guy has been going at it for at least 45 minutes while the parents are actively ignoring him XD

Another bird looking to be the same age has not been acting quite the same

Is this little guy perhaps just a late bloomer? :)

Just curious 🥰❤️

Question(s) regarding behaviour

3 Upvotes

Hey all!

Since I'm new to this, asking as many questions as I can to be a better Crow person(?)

1) I've only been doing this for less than a week. 5 minutes ago I came out to have a smoke and coffee. Before I could even sit down, a crow flew up into my yard. I went in to grab my bag of peanuts (10 seconds?) and when I got back out there were 7 on the grass! This is not the usual feeding time I've been trying to establish. Do they know me now?

2) While watching them eat I noticed a bigget crow on the roof across from my driveway (have seen it around a lot as it's recognizable by a missing tail feather). After a couple of minutes it flew to another tree, called loudly and the others flew away to the tree it was in. What does that mean? Did I do something wrong?

3) They then flew to a tree in the side yard (I tend to feed them there most often as it's where they tend to hang out more). It didn't feel threatening or hostile so I slowly approached the tree (not too close) and left a handful of peanuts nearby (they ate them). Was that ok?

TIA!
