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.

@ct_bergstrom We started this a few months ago per your advice and it's really rewarding! Initially it was just a pair of crows but now we have about 5 or so crows who patiently line up for their daily peanut feast.

More recently they've started following us on our walks, which seems to attract other crows. The word is out! Only downside is I feel guilty when I don't have any peanuts with me.
