Making friends with the crows

[Waterglass]

I've decided to make friends with the crows that feed on on my property.

I have three acres, of which two are heavily wooded, and an acre my home sits on is cleared. Nice open field. I had cut the grass just this morning. Early this evening it started to cool down, and I felt the pressure dropping and wind picking up. A short while later the wind blew in like Armageddon was coming. It stormed for a while, then the sun came out and it was a beautiful day again.

A murder of crows flew in and started to feed all over my yard. A hundred of them, easy. So, I decided to make an allegiance. Crows can be great allies. Mistreat them, and they can be worthy adversaries. They are highly intelligent, and even remember faces. Sometimes, if the bond is tight enough, they seem to pass it along from generation to generation about their allegiance with you, once a bond is established.

I laid out some peanuts for them, and some shiny screws and washers that were polished shiny. I figured they might could use them as tools, since they are known to use tools to complete tasks.

If they take the screws, I'll know I've got a murder on my side, watching over things from the trees.

I highly suggest making friends with the crows, if you've never tried it before.

I dont know about "murder of crows" All I know is that they love our pizza crusts as we make pizza weekly and dont eat the outer diameter crust and toss it in the back yard so the crows and blue jays go wild over it. I also toss old tomatoes and vegetables that they can eat and the back yard is picked clean that day. 

As far as any "angry" crows or "doves" if  I see them "attacking" any song birds I will pop them with my Gamo pellet gun. Same goes for the turkey voultures To date since 2017 I only popped one crow so its not as if we have a massacare ongoing. 

But dont get me started on those evil grey squirrels
