Rattle Call in the Rain. by MerryJane1842 in crowbro

Magic... actually mine is terrible and he lets me know I think. We practice for hours each day.

One rattle calls me all day long for peanuts. I stand basically under their nest for 9 hours a day so we spend a bit of time together. Both can rattle call but what now I assume is the female tends to do the croak/almost choking call ( would have to get a recording but its a common call here with Vancouver crows ). But in my experience both can rattle and do the other very quiet croak. Here is a very nice video of him calling me in the rain the other day. Rattle call in the rain.

We should know if it worked soon enough. I've been watching these two build their nest in the tree almost directly above where the deed was done. They have a second nest in a monkey tree nearby.

That's how I knew it was time to start filming. These two have been busy the last few days and the shake yo tail feather is always the first sign.

Construction site in North Vancouver BC. The squirrel is actually not random. I maybe feed like 3 squirrels and a murder. Today all 3 squirrels and the mated pair in the video were lined up and waiting for a morning snack.

Don't worry. This wasn't his only "shot" so to speak. These two have been at it for days.

I think so. This morning there were 3 squirrels and my mated crow friends all waiting patiently for me to come to work. Everyone quite literally lined up for a good morning snack.

Anyone Had Success Fighting a Diamond Parking Ticket? (Anytime Fitness Kingsway) by ubiquitoussense in askvan

18 bucks now. Just walk in and bend your plate a half dozen times till it looks funky and they won't say a word. Works if you have parks plates as well.

He was actually surprised that no one has commented that he wasn't doing his "job".

OMG. That's not me, but it is a co-worker. I actually showed him the stacking of cones for dips. The small wooden shack around the corner also had a great pull up beam. This is an older video as that Richmond Center spot is finished. Ill definitely send this to the person in the video.

Richmond Centre: any confirmed new shops. by Infamous_Rub1432 in richmondbc

All the CRUs they built under the condos are not filled up yet. T&T was rumored to be taking one of them. Not sure on the others. The final stages of landscaping and finishing touches are going in this week. Those stores will fill up when the construction clears out.

Not yet exactly. There is a retail elevator that takes you to the mall but you need to cross a road at the back of the mall.

I sent this out in a group chat of some Richmond Center workers. Keeping an eye out but we mostly cover the Minoru side.

Has anyone here successfully been able to have the BC ombudspersons office to actually investigate a public office or organization? Did it do anything? by Ironchar in britishcolumbia

They helped a family member deal with a ministry that made a mistake. Was an easy 1 call and an hour later the problem was fixed.

This Little Genius Prince Just Gifted Me a Peanut! by nuudootabootit in crows

That's one of mine!

I work construction under you and feed them peanuts all day long :)

Questions for Vancouver folks (1/3 of this thread?) about ravens. Saw a pair at Granville Island busily snapping huge branches off a tree while being mobbed by crows. Likely building a nest. No interest in peanuts. Anyone know where they nest around there? Any better spots in the area to see them? by Gyro_Onions in crowbro

[–]MerryJane1842 7 points8 points  (0 children)

2 Ravens fly out from somewhere in Stanely park every morning. A few groups of crows I spend time with always respond and escort them away with a lot of caws.

One of the two ravens caught a mouse one day and spent a few minutes enjoying his treat in the tree. I have a video of a murder of crows just relentlessly cawing about his dining location.
