    Crows are so shy, it’s too cute! They’re like cats, if you stare at them or lock eyes, they get really nervous. So slowly close your eyes and look away to put then at ease. If you pull out food they like, like peanuts in their shell, you can almost see a little exclamation mark appearing above their heads, like 🥜 ❗ 🐦‍⬛

          Meanwhile my local crows just sit there looking aggrieved while a single squirrel eats all the peanuts I put out for them. I don’t understand it at all, but squirrels must be seriously badass, at least as far as crows are concerned.

    • Destroy the eggs of every bird nest you can find so your crow family can be the only species of bird for miles.

      It’s not quite as bad as you make it seem. Yes, crows prey on nests with eggs and young. They also prey on adult birds. As do most predators you can name: snakes, opossums, cats, etc etc.

      They themselves are prey, with only sbout half of all crows making it to adulthood. Rarely are they responsible for “wiping out” other species. They do it sometimes, rarely, but it is not more so than other predators

    This spring alone I have seen crows harrass buzzards and even a heron.

    They all fled of course, the heron looked like it was in some trouble as it could barely avoid the buildings in its way.
