I've been feeding the crows around my house since near the beginning of the pandemic. Since we were home we started noticing them. In fact, there are several bird types. Blue Jays and others I don't even know the type.
Unfortunately, our neighbors got angry because the crows would wait for feeding times and sit on the power lines and ... crap on their cars. And the squirrels grab the peanuts and hide them and once I was coming back from a walk and the neighbor walked up to me and said "hold out your hand" and then dropped a peanut shell in my hand. Really frustrating, because it's not like there are a lot of them. Usually they fly away with them and leave them elsewhere.
Two stories related to this:
1. I was talking with a neighbor for a good while. We were talking and heard a sound like metal dropping near me. I said "did you hear that, too?" ... I looked around and there was a bottle cap a few feet away and a crow above it on the power line. They were impatient and wanted their peanuts.
2. I was walking a few blocks away from my house and an empty peanut shell dropped right in front of me. Looked up and a crow on the power line.
Right now a couple of crows are building a next. One of them looks much bigger than normal and seems to fly slowly. Crowlets incoming??
- kiliantics 5y agoso sad that apparently nothing can help people from believing their car is more important than pretty much anything else...
- e40 5y agoGotta agree there. And I have had a good relationship with that neighbor for 20 years. Now down the tubes because of a little bird shit. Ah, well, I value my bird friends more, TBH.
