    It's amazing how each has a distinct personality. One crow grabs all he can, another is impatient and eats his peanut right there and yet another goes through the nuts as if it's not sure which one to choose.

      While they certainly each have their own distinct personalities, I wonder if their behavior might also be influenced more by how hungry they are.

    I carry raw peanuts for them, and they follow me around town. If they're hungry, they do a fly-past at head level...from behind...and then land right in front of me. I think if I gave them egg yolks, they'd want to move in with me...and my condo won't allow pets. 😄

      I feed Crows in about a 1 1/2 sq mile radius close to downtown seattle. Different flocks follow me from the moment I leave my apt until I enter the building. I have had over 100+ waiting outside my apt. We have routines every day. They have gifted me items such as a fake gold chain, belt buckle, even a silver heart shaped pendant because the cat kibble is shaped like a heart. They are loyal to a fault. Someone leaves massive amounts of dry cat food out for them about 4 blocks away but still if they see me they will escort me home every day, every time. The "fly past" or if they bump you I see as a sign of trust, friendship and playfulness. Some of the ones I feed I have known literally since they have came out of the nest.

      Where do they leave their gifts for you? There's a huge grassy field with trails leading along some hills behind my place. If I were to feed them as I walked on the trail, would they leave their gifts along the trail on the trail itself, or would they scatter their gifts throughout the field? Is it best for them if I feed them in the same spot each day without feeding them while I'm walking? @@erikgification

I am disabled so I scooter around town in a scooter and carry a jar of peanuts with me. If the crows see me they will stop on a wire and then all will gather and they wait. Knowing that I have peanuts and I'm going to throw some down! Love me a crow!

    I've been feeding a pair of ravens for five years, and they don't allow others of their kind, hawks, or falcons to enter their air space. I refer to my front garden as the lunch box. A couple of hundred birds feed their every day. Its like they take shifts. And the special one's come in between. I have even taught the stellar jays to talk. I dream of being a bird 🐦.

      Most of the time, corvids will pick one or two pieces and take off with them. They all cache food, just like squirrels.
      However, if they do leave a gift, it's washable. Highly acidic, so sooner is best (yes, it will strip paint!). Or, if it's dry when you see it, just brush it away.

      Same way, to be honest. If there are crows in your neighborhood and you place food where they can see it, they won’t take long to come eat it. If you put food out regularly, they’ll begin anticipating it and waiting for you. They learn quickly.
