For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.

--

Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.

I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.

This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

I've seen YouTube videos about this but I'm afraid to try it. I don't want to be "that weird old geek on the third floor of building ten with all the bird shit on his balcony." 😈

I've always wanted to do this because I love crows, but I've wondered if it's a bad idea for the same reason you shouldn't try to befriend other wildlife—they might grow dependent, for instance. Do you have any perspective on that?

this is so great. i have on occasion seen a crow in my neighborhood but way up high. it's only because i live on a hill that i'm able to see it. any advice on how i might be able to make friends with such a crow? i don't believe i've ever seen them closer to the street level but, instead, soaring over trees.
