I appreciate your support, constructive criticism, and kind words.

Thanks for looking!!!

Noticed on my lunch break outside. BC Canada.

I know next to nothing about crows. But this one came out of nowhere and flew straight at me. I thought it was attacking me until it landed on my head, then my arm. It keeps trying to steal my earrings and eat my nails. 😭 is this normal. Also my mom is holding the barn cat because it was trying to to eat the crow.

whatever her baby crow is telling her, she doesn't look thrilled about it

Hello, I have made a post perviously about what I should feed these guys. Thank you to all of the suggestions. Eggs are a big hit, I have found they also like dried cranberries I make at home. I have continued feeding them walnuts and unseasoned boiled chicken bits which they also enjoy.
This post is about the bird on the left, he has a very bald head as you can see and his neck feathers also look barren when he reaches out comparatively to the other 3 (2 in the video, but especially the one on the right who is very full).
He can fly and hop and walk without any issue. I’m wondering why he is bald? Is it just the time of month for him seasonal wise or stress or is he just old/young? I have never seen them fight amongst themselves so I don’t think it’s that. When I first I saw him previously, I believed he had just left the nest as his feathers looked so thinned out almost like he just grew them, but now he is looking more disheveled.
If he is sick I don’t think there is much I can do, they won’t let me go near them yet.

Found it while running in the rain

Hello, several days ago I was in the park. While securing my bike, a crow was approaching me in a hesitant way while chirping in a gentle way. Does anyone know what that means? I'm glad im approachable to crows though.

If I sit quietly near the feeding area, I have a few that will come down and eat and do crow things. I know they recognize me, and I’m hoping they are beginning to trust me. The one with the goofy looking wing is the father crow, and he doesn’t seem to have any problems flying. I am just enamored with the whole group.

This is my crow friend I named Brokebeak. The bottom part of his beak hangs loosely and he can’t use it for anything. I called our local bird rescue sanctuary and they said there is nothing they can do unless he gets so poorly that he should be euthanized. But he seems to manage okay. I have been giving him cat kibble mainly and he puts his head on its side on the ground and picks up the kibble using his top beak and tongue. It’s slow-going so I try to make sure other crows don’t swoop in and gobble everything up. I put a deep bowl of water out for him too. Anyway it makes me happy that he comes to my house frequently. A few days ago he followed me home when I was walking my dog. 🐦‍⬛❤️

Twin Peaks, San Francisco, California.

Shortly before taking this video I had spotted a couple of ravens for the first time in this area, confirmed by their distinctive calling. There are lots of crows in the area too, so wasn't sure if this pair are ravens or crows. Is it possible to tell from this video? Thanks.

Or maybe it’s just me that thinks that? 🤔

Are unsalted peanuts covered in sunflower oil safe to give to them??

I’ve made friends with a pair of crows over the past 3 years, I love them so much and they let me go within about an arms distance of them now and even tolerate my fat little dog.

Reason I’m posting actually is because I’m having real trouble recently feeding them because of a Seagull and now with its young who has realised there is food and they bully and attack my crows.

I do have a proper feeding station but unfortunately the seagull now watches me putting food there as well and as said, attacks and grabs the food first.

I feel bad not feeding the seagull as well but it has become such a pest and I have neighbours who are not happy with the noise it makes when it calls all its mates.

So basically, just asking for any tips on how I can feed my crows in a way that’s almost secret and the seagull won’t know?

I love the pair of them and they have brought their babies to me the past couple years as well. They full trust me and I want to keep this relationship going but it’s becoming harder and harder to get food to them, hence sneaking out and quickly putting some on the fence post before Mrs Seagull notices.

Hi everyone,
This Crow had been chilling on the water bowl all day, until one of the local Raccoons came by and jumped him. The crow was lying on his back hitting the raccoon with his wings, I ran outside and scared the raccoon off before it could go any farther. I didn’t notice any blood, the crow just seemed out of it. I put the crow in this high up bird feeder with some water to make sure he had a safe place to recover. It’s been a few hours and he has not moved at all. He is breathing, blinking, moving his head slightly to look at me when I check on him, and pooping.

I’m not sure what to do, it seems kinda weird that he had spent the entire day on the water bowl, and didn’t even react when the raccoon approached at the beginning, so I’m starting to wonder if there might have been something wrong with him before he got attacked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Update: Hello everyone, thought I would make a more in depth update. Unfortunately the crow did not make it through the night, he had drank all the water I left him but didn’t touch the food.

I checked the game camera we have in the backyard and noticed that he had been exhibiting this behavior for over awhile now: sitting on the water bowl for hours not really moving unless to drink or Sometimes he would sit on the arbor for hours instead.

I made sure to throughly clean the water bowl, along with the freestanding bird feeder I had placed him in.

Thank you everyone for all the advice, I greatly appreciate it. Because of this experience I have learned a lot about the critters who call my backyard home, along with local organizations I can contact in case something like this happens again. Thanks again :)
