I've tried to befriend the local winter-flock of crows. But mostly, it's the magpies that's adopted me. Crows are like, can this be true? Is the human leaving the food there for me? Or would I be stealing it? Meanwhile the magpie has already gone, human has food, YAY! and grabbed it all in seconds (they have a surprising capacity in that crop of theirs). The magpies certainly recognize me now, and do a kind of friendly swoop in front of me to make sure I see them. Sometimes the crows sweep in and grab the treat, to sharp protest from the magpie. And in the summer half of the year, the crows too sometimes get bullied away by a seagull. I have a feeling the magpies definitively don't like it if I deliberately feed any of the bigger birds. But even the seagulls (which are rather aggressive when they have chicks) have gotten noticeably nicer to me when they've understood there's a chance at an unsalted peanut from time to time.
