Does anyone here have opinions about befriending crows? Whether this is a good or a bad thing, whether there are any particular risks or problems associated with it, etc.?
@joepie91 it's fantastic as long as you make sure to feed them things that are good for them (salt and cyanide-laden almonds are a no-go, bread isn't good because it quells up in their stomachs, making them feel full when they didn't actually get enough nutrients)!
befriending crows is a good way to get out of the house, find a new thing to look out for when outside, talk to strangers, get a better appreciation for biology and meteorology... the list goes on.
I can give you a 101, if you want
@SehrLesbisch @joepie91 I've heard people say they like dog and cat kibble. Also I think peanuts? Though certainly unsalted, possibly still in shells.
@viq @SehrLesbisch @joepie91 I've befriended a crow family of 4 and I feed them occasional treats, mostly roasted unsalted peanuts, and some dry cat food, wet cat food. (Our cat died before Christmas so I have leftover food, but before that I'd give crow friends the disdained food.) I don't hand feed them - I'm just not that organized re schedule. I LOVE the fact that they "parked" their baby for a few hours one day in the feeding area, under the big tree.
