Crows

They say these birds are the smartest in the world so I'm leaving them shelled peanuts at 9am every day on the dot  I don't see them but they see me and I know they are testing the waters. It's been 5 days of careful steady movements in the backyard at all times because I know they are always watching. 

My plan is to befriend one.. Ya think I have a shot? Any crow tips helpful. 

Stay away. They'll steal your soul. I saw an Eagle the other day that looked like it could easily pick up my cocker spaniel. And she's over 20 pounds. That thing was huge. Shit, it looked like it would pick me up.

Dog food, a lady down eastern maine has fed the crows for years they been bringing her things from the beach . 

Another girl in sanfranscisco has a similar experience with crows 

Get your guitar and serenade her like Jack Tripper did that one time

even though Larry Dallas was actually singing

dirty birds ,

wings flapping ,

swinging

more evil people would get the rifle and the buckshot

and turn that vermin¡¯s life into lunch but fucck naw

you have a good idea ,

and a kind demeanor about you

try setting some food out ,

how about a mouse or two ?

an easy way into a Crow¡¯s heart is through her belly , soon you two will be a union tell me

you two crazy kids gonna take a vacation together ?

how about Jamaica the weather

is sunny and beautiful

She can tan naked and puff the Cheeba while listening to the Stones

Stoned showing no emotion while you nibble on her hole

God bless and good luck put a condom on for sex when you hook up

crookedly Nuts

Rickey I¡¯m joking 

it¡¯s simply the spliff whispering , written what it told me......

Are they eating the peanuts? I live in a rural county UpState and the Crows know garbage day and who just throws a plastic bag of garbage on the lawn.They also know when the garbage truck comes byto pick up.Trust me the Crows are discussing you and what you are about.

They'll come like clockwork ..

Been feeding the birds and squirrels peanuts twice a day for years...They often fill up the back yard when I forget ...

Had Turkey vultures swoop down on the grill a few times ...

Get a parakeet or 2. Maybe a parrot.

BOL Sir. at least it gives you something to look forward to

When I was in the Airforce and stationed in Misawa, Japan, the crows would tear through the on base, public, outdoor trash container. They knew how to tear through the bags and Styrofoam cases with left over fast food and looking for left over chicken wings. (A drunk's favorite order) I along with many other low ranking "Airmen" were then tasked to pick up all the trash come Monday morning.  It was because of this, that they started putting heavy lids on the trash cans but every now and then, a person would forget to put the lid on and leave the trash exposed

They are smart. I'm very sure that you'll be able to befriend one.. 

Interesting vid.. 

or you can get in touch with Brooks from Shawshank

It is impossible to earn a Crow's trust when they are born wild.  They are extremely smart birds.  A hand raised Crow, either hatched or injured young, is a sure bet.  You are wasting peanuts away to squirrels.  LOL

I have four adult Canada Geese that look over 60+ gosslings. Every evening between 7-9pm they stop over for cracked corn. Same thing last year. There's one male I call PaPa that beats any goose who is not part of the family as other adults come and try for the cracked corn. PaPa is relentless, kick's everybodies ass!! They say dominate pairs take the young from other parents. Obviously, as there over 60 gosslings!! PaPa and I have a respectful relationship. He don't bother me and I respect his ground.

The few crows in the area don't hang around. Not too friendly. 

Bald Eagles will take gosslings if there only a couple, don't bother the large groups. Hence, they group up.

Sandhill Crane pair nest here every year too. Last yr both of their young were done in by predators. 

Your best bet is a male Ruffed Grouse duing mating season; https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/hampshire-man-becomes-best-friends-190605841.html        

How intellegent are Crows?

I remember the story of the exploding frogs in Germany. Come to find out Crows were to blame;

Good luck with your Crows!!!

A seagull attacked me once and stole a fried clam. Horrifying experience. 

Ive read much about them indicting they are highly cognizant---also octopus's and bees as far as Im concerned they can have it all this whol world is insane bullcrap anyway

Hitchcock made a Movie with the same plot-line.

Seagulls are fucking ghetto.

My experience with seagulls was deep sea fishing on a charter boat in gulf of maine

Back in the day you paid 60.00 a person to go deep sea fishing  they rigged you up an outfitted you and we jigged for cod and Haddock on the way in for 25 cents a fish the first mate would filet them. And toss the junk out the back of the boat....

Within minutes so many seagulls came it was if the blotted out the sun. From every where and a minute before not a one in the sky . We were about 20 miles from shore but it was incredible the amount of birds that arrived.

As far as the thread. Robert the Lucifer William the bastards dad crest had a rook. 

Modern English Robert the magnificent light and his eliigitament heir William the concorer 

Only at fast food/Walmart parking lots and landfills. Saw some once picking used condoms out of the sewage tanks at a wastewater plant then dropping them in the parking lot.  Never could get that outa my head!

My wife feeds squirrels cookies on our deck. This seagull showed up last year and when he didn't get a cookie he knocks on the sliding glass door. Does it about three times a week now. Just knocked a few hours ago. One is funny, any more is too much.

Would you cook a seagull like you would cook a squirrel?

Heard if you get your seagull from a KFC parking lot they taste like chicken. Not so much so for those obtained at the landfill. 

seagull like ruffed grouse the breast is about all that worth dealing with, again  boil as long you would a bald eagle season it with lemon pepper and broil  it to texture of filet mignon. 

I was once involved in the famous seagull bump and run.

I was carrying a plate with two hotdogs on a beautiful sunny day.

One gull hit me in the shoulder which stunned me for a second, while his partner in crime, with split second timing stole said hot dog and flew away.

That shall never happen again.
