Wonderful timing. Me and my daughter just started to feed and befriend a crow in our backyard. We started by putting out a few pieces of cat foot, shaking the plastic container and tapping on the table we put it on to signal to the crow we had put out food. Within only 2 days the crow has learned to come and swoop down for his meal within just a minute or two after he does his normal fly-by passes. Now only about 5 days in, and we have the crow coming right down to eat as we put out the food, not much of a care that we are there. My daughter wants to start training it to bring trinkets or coins so that is probably next on the agenda.

One thing I didn’t not really account for is that now in the morning when I step outside our new friend really lays on the noises of excitement as he knows a meal is about to be served.

I have been working on this as well and have a crowbuddy who enjoys what I feed him. I want him to do more, but haven't gotten him to yet.

A couple years ago I was doing this and they brought me a chicken head as a gift. Thanks... I guess?

Coins? Screw that. Go right to bills.

bills are fragile, bitcoin might be better long-term.

Working on training my crowbuddy so that he bites the gold coins and only brings real ones, was getting too much iron pyrite

I'm hoping that is a typo for cat food, instead of training your cattle on horrifically scavenged body parts.
