A raven is shopping in a store. He’s saying to the raven employee behind the counter, “A human has been feeding me all month. I want to give her something nice.” The raven employee is smiling and saying “Nothing exudes quality like a Heineken bottle cap.” The store sign on the wall reads “Fran’s Fancy Things.”

    Like most people, they’re highly motivated by food.

    Find where they roost and feed them. Roasted peanuts, etc, are a good option (just avoid super salty stuff.)

    Be patient and set the food down and walk away to start, then walk less far then set it down and stay close and so on.

    Also remember that they have excellent memory and can recognize individuals, so they will remember you. They might even come find you.

    (And don’t be mean. They will remember you! And they might even come find you.)

        there’s a huge in the city where I work. Hundreds of birds. Sometimes when it’s extremely cold… they roost in a few trees at my building. They seem to move around a bit; in any case, I knew a guy that made the dumb decision to shout at them.

        They did not let him forget his mistake. And, yeah. I’m not sure changing town was enough… dude was a total dick so I’m there for the pettiness.
