There's a crow that drops nuts on the road on my way home from work. I always try to hit them for him so he can get the nuts out. :)

LOL, I first read that as you would always try to hit the crow.

Guess I'm not as smart as one...

What color is your car? Would be cool to see if the crow also drops nuts for similar colored cars at a frequency higher than chance. Or just yours. Or if that crow has other favorite cars besides yours that he/she knows are considerate enough to sub in as a nutcracker... maybe their colors throw that whole thing for a loop.

I live in Switzerland: all the cars are drab, including mine.

I'm thinking of planting more nut bearing plants in my yard. Possibly for myself, but mostly for wildlife. Corylus americana (American Hazelnut) is native and easy to grow, I understand.

avoid black walnut. not as terrible as salting the earth, but not great.

[pfdietz]

Too late, we already have some of those. They were there when we bought the house.

C. americana is resistant to juglone, btw.

I only just found out black cherries are native to North America.

[pfdietz]

A Prunus species, also resistant to black walnut.

List from a local nursery on resistant plants:

Observed the same, doing the same, on my bike.

You just encourage dependency on and hanging out near humans.

Don't anger the crows. They can quite literally run you from your yard.

Crows are very resourceful. And opportunistic.
