Seeking advice/help How do I stop feeding crows?

41 Upvotes

In my last post, which was a while ago. I asked you guys on how to earn trust from Momo and Kila. Which I did in the end, they brought their tribe buddies. They come every day, cowing for food which I give them.

But the person who I live with wants me to stop after months of earning their trust. They say that in wasting food and money. Which is understandable, food costs a lot these days.

But I’m sad. I’ve spent months trying to get them close to me. I almost did. They fly towards me then fly away. My brother says it’s because I give them food. Which is true lol.

But now, they are cowing for food and all I have to do is sit there and just listen. I feel guilty for not giving them food because it’s part of their routine to come over to get the peanuts I give them.

This might be tmi but I’m just sitting here crying because I love feeding them, watching them cowing on the wires for food. But the person I live with just calls me ridiculous and silly for giving them food that costs money.

Any advice will help.
Thank you.

i’ve been leaving peanuts on my balcony for the crows for a couple of months now, today i was laying on the couch when these 2 crows came and made these strange sounds, does it mean anything or is it just common thing they do

So I have this *raven* at work, he comes to my window every morning to get an egg and then flys off and I’ll see him again tomorrow. This morning though after tapping my glass to let me know he was here he started making this sound.

The Crows aren't thrilled about sharing their Hornworms with the Hawk.

when they made that sound it sounded like meows at first which is why i meowed hahah

but they’ll make the noise quite often during visits so im guessing it’s a positive sign just curious exactly what it could mean :)

Could be a raven. I have so many of both it's sometimes hard to distinguish even though I know ravens are larger.

I was really worried as I had not seen them all summer. But I guess summer was the season of plenty because as soon as Fall hit, they've returned.

This is Skittish, waiting so patiently for someone to come out. Bold was on the other car port roof.

I only get to feed these darlings when I can get a parking space which isn't very often but they always remember me when I return, this feeling I get from the crows is priceless I adore them so much 🐦‍⬛🖤

Hi! I have been befriending some crows outside my work for about a week or two now! They are so cute and very loud. I bought some unsalted sunflower seeds that I leave out. When I forget, I put out some pecans that they also seem to enjoy. Previously, I put out some blueberries and melon but they did not seem to enjoy those as much. Any recommendations on what to feed them? I've seen raw meat and dog kibble suggested but I can't use that since customers walk right past where I feed them.
