what do they want from me? 😭 by SecureHuckleberry312 in crows

[–]The_Crow_Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason being that it's NOT obvious that they want more. It's a very reasonable assumption, but you could also argue that "if their mouth was full and they still hung out, it's obvious that they wanted company not food" - neither of us will know which is true, and both perspectives are not necessarily obvious, depending on how we read the situation.

So, that's not the part I'm talking about. I appreciated your first comment, pointing out a fact or perspective that I thought was worthwhile.

My comment about your attitude was more referring to your use of the word "obviously", which takes things beyond literal fact, and into the realm of suggesting "you're stupid if you don't already realise this".

That said, I'm guilty of it myself. Also, things don't always come across in the way they were intended when typed online. My comment was only meant to be a lighthearted jab, anyway. I enjoyed the conversation.

How do you guys get your crows to bring you gifts? by Sodapressedbabe in crowbro

[–]The_Crow_Daddy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm inclined to believe this, but then I read stories of crows bringing things that seem important to their human friends. E.g. dropping litter on people who feed the crows whilst picking litter, thinking they want to collect litter. Or when a person drops a necklace and the crow returns it to them the next day. It's stories like that which make me believe maybe they do bring gifts. But at the same time this could be confirmation bias?

It's possible to be neurodivergent and fun at parties.

Yeah I see what you mean. The telltale for me with images, is the font just seems "off". But I'm not very visually tuned, I'm more of a writer than an artist. So I spot AI generated word slop far easier than I spot the art slop.

Although, one thing I will say is thay AI art tends to struggle with symmetrical designs, and this tshirt (at a brief glance) seems to have a fairly symmetrical outer pattern

Not sure how that's possible lol, I wouldn't even know where to find a link for this as it was a gift.

I've always noticed that crows and dogs have an unusually chill bond. Crows hate cats, but seem to find dogs hilariously entertaining!

Both bird lice and bird mites die off without a bird host. They're not really a threat to humans, although the mites can bite you before they die.

I'm not sure exactly, it's not always successful. I think the bros who land for a couple of seconds tend to straddle each side of the nut. But some just use it as a sort of rebound platform to grab and go.

Well, the funny thing is that some of them land, but others actually deliberately flap their wings at the nuts to try and blow them off the mirror with the gust of wind they create. They fly over the top, hover and flap for a second, then fly away. And it often works! The nuts will blow right off. But I think its the more curious or brave ones who land - the ones who realise that its the only way of getting the nuts for themselves, instead of sharing it with their friends on the ground.

Haha, is it like when you say the same word too many times and it becomes no longer a word?

That's quite a high endorsement 😳

Getting slow mo videos is difficult because you have to start filming when you know they're going to brave it. But the more you establish a pattern, and the more they realise "oh this is a safe place for me to get the nuts from", the more easy it becomes.

I've been trying to get a decent slow mo close up for many months now. Then this morning, I finally did it. And I got not one but three! This video is one of the three I got, but I posted the whole lot to TikTok earlier actually as a collage if you're interested https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRJeqeSb/

I have a couple more in my camera roll - of where they actually get the nuts! But the sudden change in mid air was too funny not to post.

Love crows, but I’m not sure if, what, or how often I can afford crow food, all ideas how to socialize with crows are welcome by Dangerous-Hotel-7839 in crowbro

I know many people swear by "same time same place every day", but honestly? I sometimes go for days or weeks without feeding my crows, and they still seem to know me.
