      @@BJGvideosSo people can shoot crows but they can't have them for pets? I've cared for several baby birds of different kinds over the years that fell out of their nests. This one may have been a rescue. Has the government decided you just let them fend for themselves or die? Why crows?

      It's obvious this sweet bird has been around humans, probably raised by them and he is very trusting and comfortable which shows this. I hope he/she finds their way back home. I have heard that crows are very intelligent beings.

    Couldn't find anything better to feed it? they're obviously in a store parking lot feeding it salty greasy potato chips? I know crows are scavengers and will eat pretty much anything but yeah next time (I'm sure they'll be a next time) feed it something healthy

    Also that is a Puget sound crow, not the normal crow you see. Most are a north American crow. If you notice he has a flat head above his beak and a north American crow is more swept back.

      @BJGvideos great! Please keep me updated. I started doing wildlife rehab when I was 13 yrs old and the Bird Lady of Ft.Lauderdale Fla. taught me about raising wild birds. I then went on to urban wildlife rescue and working in a domestic animal shelter after I retired from nursing. I've lived in Colorado since the early 70s and even worked with Raptor rescue. I've done psitticine rescue (Parrot family) as well. Just a critter person here! Lol
