I have only ever made crow enemies. you do not want crow enemies.

also, if you see a dead or dying crow in your driveway, don’t move it. don’t touch it. even if it’s blocking your car (idk, buy a new car instead?) maybe call animal control but by all means don’t present yourself near the dead crow - the crows will assume you killed it and will make your life hell. i was divebombed multiple times for many blocks from my house. i only gingerly moved the bird a few feet over to the grass so my wife could move the car and get to work. but crows remember. boy do they remember.

this only stopped when i moved to another city

A bird bringing me gifts is one of my biggest dreams in life.

I can't believe this! I've been feeding starlings near me with bits of Greggs baguettes and pastries.

Have I received a stone?

Have I bollocks!!

Selfish little bastards - I'm going on strike. No more will they take advantage of my altruistic nature!

I thought I was building an army of starlings! Instead I've been taken for a fool!

Could you share more about what the mods are doing?

While I think it's better to discuss rule changes ahead of time, many communities are in early stages and are being built up as we go.

In that case it's still worth discussing the rule changes after they happen. You're free to use whichever community and not say anything, but it helps to share what you don't like so others can weigh in (and maybe change unpopular rules)

You have created a friendship with a murder of crows. Be well with your new power.

That's a jackdaw.

'Hmmm - what can I bring in return? No cool shiny things around here- ooh! Gizzard stones! They're useful! Hope this one's big enough 'cause they're much bigger than I am!'

That's payment for a second piece of pastry. Failure to complete the transaction will result in your status being marked contemptible by the Crow Commerce Coalition. Appropriate sanctions and penalties will apply. They're gonna follow you home, tell their friends and track your vehicle. They'll probably harass your kids. Crow clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

I've been feeding my local crow family, unsalted roasted peanuts almost every day for two years now. They know me and come flying over whenever they see me walk outside my house, sometimes they even follow me home in my car or on my bike. They've never brought me shit, ungrateful little bastards.

My crows have never brought me anything :/ They've followed me home from the shop squawking to be fed, and they'll hang around and chat, but they have yet to sully our relationship with remuneration.

I've been trying to do this. I seem to have several separate groups of crows living in the nearby woods. But they are super skittish. If they are in the yard and I open the door, they immediately fly away.

I've been trying to do a mix of a unique whistling call, and throwing food, but I don't think they've even found the food, let alone connected it to the whistle.

Crow stones bring luck for the rest of the crow's lifespan!

The crows in Seattle are a special kind of smart. I always enjoyed watching them doing their thing. Watching them fly west in the morning and east in the evening is magical. So many crows for a brief moment!

Don't eat it! It's a trap!

I think he just proposed to you. You're obligated to help it build a nest, now.

Congratulations on opening your first restaurant!
