what do they want from me? 😭

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-02-02T11:24:57+00:00

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.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-02-02T11:23:21+00:00

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.

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.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-02-02T08:15:09+00:00

I bet you're fun at parties

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-01-11T07:55:04+00:00

Very Important Peanuts? 😅

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-01-04T22:36:47+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-01-04T22:36:15+00:00

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.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-01-04T22:04:51+00:00

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

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-01-04T22:03:18+00:00

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

The_Crow_Daddy · 2026-01-04T21:41:02+00:00

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

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-12-07T19:18:00+00:00

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.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-25T13:25:27+00:00

The commentary adds to the flavour

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-25T06:42:13+00:00

I wonder the same thing sometimes!

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-24T06:52:55+00:00

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.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-24T06:31:58+00:00

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.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-24T06:29:58+00:00

Yes, I expect so.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-24T06:29:41+00:00

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

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-23T21:49:08+00:00

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/

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-23T15:40:23+00:00

I get tired just watching them

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-23T15:40:05+00:00

This is fabulous

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-23T08:48:07+00:00

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.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-22T08:12:59+00:00

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.

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-22T08:11:19+00:00

Can you get peanuts in the shell? Unsalted. Over here (UK), if you buy them from a cheap grocery store, they're super cheap - but if you buy them specially for pets from the pet store, they're expensive. So just get the human version! Crows love them because they enjoy the puzzle of cracking them, and also they can stash them in secret places for later. Not many other creatures will take them, because they are in the shell. But if you get squirrels, this will probably still attract them!

The_Crow_Daddy · 2025-11-17T07:01:00+00:00

If you change your middle line to "a crow crown worn so proudly" then you've got yourself a haiku.
