    I have a few dreams in life. Some, I have realised. Others, I have not.

    Yet to befriend a crow or magpie, not really into birds but I love corvids. There’s just something about them; they radiate intelligence and curiosity. I’m guessing they have good reason to be skittish, but I just want to provide them treats and make friends!

      Apparently the trick is to routinely drop food where they see you do it, and over time they’ll come to get used to you and bring you gifts!

      I too would like a crowbro. I did have a starling bro for a while. That was a wild happening in my life.

      Get you some peanuts and start crow feeding!

        My dad has a pair of magpies that visit his garden everyday. Not sure how long I’ll be living with him (final stages of buying a house), I left them some nuts last time I was there but will definitely make it a regular habit, thanks for the tip :)

    As kid we reared a Jackdaw. He would sit on my head while I rode my bmx. And come when I called him.

      Hey my cousin raised a crow too. He chased the dog and cat and would greet visitors in the driveway yelling HELLO. They’re quite smart!
