  • Love 'em or hate 'em, crows are one of the most common birds in our neighborhoods and one of the most misunderstood. But that's changing, thanks to the work of UW researcher John "Crow Whisperer" Marzluff, which is giving the term "bird brain" a whole new meaning.

    Why don't more folks have an interest in these intelligent, beautiful, feathered neighbors? My neighbor crows know me. They chase my car when I drive into my carport. Treat time!

    I love crows. They're an ancient species, and they've eaten us and watched us evolve. They're basically small flying dinosaurs that recognize human speech and faces and have the oldest spy network on the planet.

    Makes me sad to know you keep crows in cages, they are highly social and this is torture for them.

    While I love watching the science about crows and I usually cringe at "that" type of person I'm going to be, putting birds under sedation is very risky and it concerns me to hear they do this regularly. And they tiny cage is worse than a goldfish bowl..

    In the Autums from 1995-1998, I spent time claiming my persimmon tree from the local crows. Since then, [it's now 2022] the crows have granted me my property and have passed down the knowledge through the generations. I have never seen a crow eat a persimmon - or anything else - in my yard since then. On the rare ocasion when I see one on the tree, I scold briefly and it flies away.
    I never hurt a crow,, so they do not attack me. They simply respect my territory. I have tried to feed them peanuts in exchange, but they won't touch anything of mine.
    Once they ate peanuts I put across the street while wearing a full face veil. But soon they realized it was me, and wouldn't take the food anymore.

    the whole Corvid group is amazing. They are training crows in France to clean up parks of cigarette butts for treat reward dispensers. It seems to be very effective and the birds are not forced to participate.

    re: my premonition of death and crow; - I wonder if someone can help me figure this out as I have been searching far and wide for a direction about this even though my intuition is telling me what I think it might be. I will try to make this very short and brief I will put it in point form;
    -after a life tragedy I'm coming into awareness in terms of my connection to the other worlds, psychic abilities and more specifically connection with Raven / crows but birds in general too.
    -in my 20s (I'm 40 now)-, I used to go sit at the cemetery when I had a lot of anxiety from school. It was a peaceful place and one day I was sitting in my car with the window down, noticed a crow or Raven that flew in front of the car and landed on the grass by a tombstone and I was just looking at it, and my mind literally just had a flash of thought across that that literally said “, Grandma is going to die tonight”. I thought it was so random and I just thought my mind was going to weird places because I saw a crow and I know that there's a superstition about them. My grandmother was not sick and in fact did actually pass away that morning the next day. No one could get ahold of her and my uncle had to crawl in her bedroom window to find her having passed away in her sleep. I was really freaked out about this and never told anybody and they would think I was crazy or lying.
    2.I am a highly sensitive person and I'm starting to realize it now but ever since I was a young child I've always been connected to animals in terms of teaching people to save them and not hurt bugs etc (scoop up spiders let them outside etc) . That was the only time that I had something pop across my head - I have had other things since (non row related) but only a few predictions that happened, including a thought telling me, "Imagine this transport truck hit you up here on this skyway"- and 3 seconds later it did and I survived a horrific accident.
    3.Through a reading recently I've been told that I have connections to the druid druidic Celtic Nordic ancestral. I had a major obsession with Princesses and castle/palaces an actually figured out that I'm obsessed with what you call the "Gothic architecture"- ornate, filligree , molding.) Ever since I was little I was obsessed with the doors of churches and the door knockers and every little thing that had to do with that kind of stuff. It's interesting that there are crows in a lot of Nordic mythology.
    4. In keeping up with this obsession, my favorite movie is Sleeping Beauty and I really always wanted a crow like Maleficent that sat on her shoulder and would fly on her finger to which in my 18th year I purchased a lovebird and he was my best friend for 20 years.
    5. Playing in my parents pool one day in the summer on a flotation, a wild Sparrow landed right on my chest. I felt the air in my face as the wings were beating and as I looked up he just plopped onto my chest for a quick moment and then flew away.
    6.most recently I walked outside to my car after I had been doing a lot of this spiritual counseling after the trauma in my life lately, and I walked out to my car and 123 crows in unison one after the other flew to a tree right in front of me
    I feel like I'm reading into things but this just seems like too much to be a coincidence does anyone have any idea what the heck is happening mainly about my premonition and the crow

    Yes, crows are smart. Yes, they congregate and communicate in sophisticated ways. And yes, many humans sing their praises.
    But... just ask the songbirds, and other smaller birds who used to share the same habitation. The crows wipe them out indiscriminately.
    Vancouver has very few songbirds, according to anecdotal information. If anyone can confirm this in a scientific manner I would be appreciative.
    But since there are hundreds of thousands of crows in the area I strongly intuit this to be true.

      It's why South America has so many hummingbirds. No crows.
