    There was a shoe store in the town I grew up in as a kid that had a pet crow in a cage. The crow was the store’s mascot. I used to ask to go just to see the crow.

      Me too. There are two crows that hang out near my house on this patch of grass. They’re there every day just booping around, digging for worms, watching people go past. I always say hello and I like to think they know me. Lovely crow bros.

        They do. They know you and are probably used to you. They generally like UNSALTED in-shell peanuts if you can get some to offer to them.

            Be aware they’re skittish. They’re probably gonna scatter or even just suspiciously side-eye the peanuts at first. They’re smart and cautious. It’ll take a bit for them to even warm up to the suddenly new peanuts in their area.

    Double up with two crows for that extra edge of attempted murder.

    See, that’s my secret - you can never go out of style if you’ve never been in style taps forehead

    In my hometown, there is an elderly guy (between 60 and 70 i guess) who walks his two agár dogs, and has a crow on his shoulder.

    Anyone who knows him says he’s a nice guy. :)

    I wanted to befriend a crow but they’re diet consists of roadkill and other gnar.

    My uncle in Bavaria found a young crow that was injured and nursed it back to health (I have no idea how you nurse a crow). The thing is so tame now, it comes and says hello and squawks at you and walks around the courtyard.
