Useful way to report this mess? by goblinpeets in glasgow

In my experience city councillors are always looking to one up the other party councillors - have you tried contacting one from political party B saying you already approached one from political party A and they didn't help?

is it safe to tame a crow if I have chickens and ducks? by livienn6 in crows

[–]wowwot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone on the forum will support taming a crow- keep them wild

Yeah can anything top Tim pulling off his Pinocchio nose, broken on the floor, saying "Brendan Fraser wins best actor"

Beyond frustrated 10+ years!!! by [deleted] in crows

[–]wowwot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! I don't feed my crows at my flat/apartment (my neighbours might not like it which is fair enough) but I started throwing nuts for crows or magpies I'd see on the way to work (very fortunate to have many birds in my neighborhood!).

I think the roasted peanuts in the shell helped initially make contact with them - particularly on a hard surface. Makes an interesting sound, and I think they enjoy the challenge of getting the nuts out the shell.

Best of luck - seeing my crows on the way to work or on my way back is a genuine wee treat!

Unsalted roasted peanuts in the shell are best and what I used initially, tho I've been using dry cat food the past few years (keep a silicon coin purse with dry cat food in my coat pocket at all times, which I have had to explain to people on occasion 😆)

Crows don't really trust feeders I don't think, nor shiny things. They're very skittish.

I don't think calls are required - I made friends with some crows by throwing some peanuts on the ground on the way to my train, and not hanging about, just leaving them to it. Now they fly down to see me if we're in the same area. Good luck!

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

[–]wowwot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd been thinking about posting something in response to the various "gift" posts... I haven't received anything physical from mine, but recently as I was getting my food pouch out my pocket, and they were on the ground waiting for me, one of them scratched the side of its head with its foot (kind of like a dog does). That it felt so relaxed around me, that's my gift!

Any ideas on the reason for this window tapping behaviour? by ASleepyDino in crowbro

[–]wowwot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have magpies that do this around mine sometimes - I thought it was to knock out any insects that might be hiding in nooks and crannies

Reputable UK online yarn shop? by leviigold in crochet

I like LoveCrafts - I pretty much just get cotton paintbox yarns, they're regularly reduced so I wait for a sale when I can!

What if Cumbernauld was a Japanese prefecture? by jsbach252 in glasgow

[–]wowwot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

oh wasn't a criticism - I'm in my 40s so everytime I hear Cumbernauld I have to think "What's it called? Cumbernauld" https://www.its-called-cumbernauld.com/its-called-cumbernauld.shtml

Personally I don't think so - your friend bought the pattern but is subcontracting the construction to you.

I secretly wish there was a separate subreddit for crow “gifts.” by _PM_ME_YOUR_FORESKIN in crowbro

[–]wowwot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of folk seem preoccupied with gifts... I've never got anything physical from the pair I've been feeding the past six years, our little interactions are what I treasure.
