Every time I go to refil the water, clean the dishes and give food, I find a feather. 😁 I think that I’m getting presents from them.

Recently I made a grave mistake trying to help a chick which its parents misinterpreted and now I’m trying to fix the problem by pampering crows in my neighborhood so they can give a good word about me to the insulted parents.

I left the insulted ones fruits and walnuts and water, but I think they didn’t see me, so I’ll have to repeat a process because I really want to be in good terms with those birds. I hope they will forgive me. I was so stupid for trying to help. 🤦‍♀️

    I’ve been looking after my nieces two flat coat retrievers for a couple of weeks, and on every walk we need to pass by a crows nest, and oh boy, the parents are so pissed at me/us, getting up real close and personal, telling us to fuck right off. I’m just waiting for them to physically attack us. Maybe I can smooth things over by bringing them some treats, once the dogs are no longer here.

      Had a tame raven come by and hang out for a summer and can confirm that it’s a good idea to have a bag of nuts on hand at all times in case you encounter them. Just put some nuts out on the ground where they can see you do it; throwing them doesn’t always work well.

      Yeah, they hate dogs. Try with peanuts. Internet says they love it. I’m waiting for my order of 3kg peanuts for crows only. 😂 Can’t wait to treat them.

      If I remember, I’ll post about our situation, if parents forgave me because of my presents.
