This one perches above and calls the others over once the snack dispenser (me) has been spotted.

Hello! I was hoping for help identifying a crow species (or what else it could be if not a crow). I have never heard this call before and was curious! The video was taken in Eastern North Carolina.

Crows [OC] THEY CAME BACK! Didn't see them for a bit and worried they'd moved on for the winter with a larger flock to a different area; turns out that the crowalition is still here :D

The silent parts are the ones where I'm yapping to them; I'm not particularly fond of how my voice sounds, haha. I've fed these guys around 4 to 5 times in the exact same place, but at pretty random times of day. They're shockingly comfortable with me, more so than any other group of crows I've encountered. They've come within 2–3 feet of me and are especially fond of creeping up close behind me.

Living near town, a pair of local crows started claiming the roof opposite my window a few months ago.

I decided to try and building some trust, starting simple: I’d tick/click to get the male’s attention, hold up half a slice of low sodium beef from a pack, lean out, leave it on the steep roof tiles, then close the window. He eventually got the hang of swooping over to grab them, pushing off again mid-flight and gliding back the edge of the roof opposite to tear it up and eat it. He started using my window drainpipes for stashing leftovers, he has 3 different stashes here I think. Before long the female saw it was safe and joined in too, they come together most evenings just before roosting now.

I slowly upped the game and got more trust.

I started leaving the window wide open while they grabbed food off the tiles. The male started calling to my window from a church tower ~200m away, he glides right over whenever I open it. Yesterday I introduced a flat green dish and left it on the window itself. I stood just a few feet inside the room while he made multiple trips for a haul of almonds.

Now the slanted roof is no longer a problem, today I’m upgrading the menu to a combo of boiled egg and cat kibble for better nutrition and easier stashing. Next step: sitting right at my desk nearby and acting completely "uninterested" while he dines.

Fingers crossed!🤞🏻

Someone is throwing firecrackers at our crows from their window

7 Upvotes

Anyone else dealt with this? It's from an apartment block so we can't tell but we've had one guy argue with us 3 times.

That mystery person throws a firecracker, the crows get scared by the bang, then they come back after a minute. Since there's like 20 of them I'm sure one of them will see the person in the act and remember their face. Or maybe the crows will start to associate this area with danger.

Injured crow in neighbourhood

5 Upvotes

We’ve been seeing an injured crow in our neighborhood the past two weeks. Right wing is droopy and bird is unable to fly. Currently hoping around and is able to hop into trees with lower branches and move up that way.

Looking for advice on if we should capture and bring the crow to a local wildlife rehabilitation vet. And, if we should, advise on how to capture them. Despite not being able to fly they’re pretty mobile and very wary (understandably) of people.
