The Sweetness of Crows | Can Crows Be Sweet?

I'm firmly pro-crow. Crows live and move with military precision. Lookouts, scouts and signaling each other. Amazing.

Yes! Yes they can! I had a twenty minute conversation with a female. It started with her cawing three times and me whistling three times. Some silence, then me whistling twice, her cawing twice. Some silence she cawed 7 times I whistled 7 times, it went on like that for 20 minutes each one mimicking the other. Was awesome!

I had a pet crow. When he got about 2 years old he wanted out. We lived on 10 acres with woods and 3 ponds so i let him go. He came to see me all the time. Of course i gave him food daily. When i would get home on my motorcycle he flew down to say hello. And he found some friends and bought brought them to visit me. He also left shiny stuff he found on our porch. He was a really sweet bird. Very smart

I’ve loved crows for as long as I can remember. A number of years ago my father passed away. I was a professor at a University in California and, upon returning to campus after his funeral I was overcome with grief. I left my office and took a walk in a residential neighborhood close to campus. I sat on a curb and started to cry. At first I heard one crow cawing in a tree near me. Then I heard another. Within a few minutes the tree was filled with crows, calling out…..comforting me. I LOVE crows…..they are my family ♥️♥️♥️

They walk like they're on a fashion runway.

I saw a video once where a wild crow was using a margarine lid (or something similar) to "sled" down a snow covered roof. He'd pick it back up, fly to the roof crest and do it all over again.

Some time ago I was on my lunch break sitting in my car watching some crows in a field. It was a windy day where the wind was going in one direction. The crows seemed to be having a competition where they would fly in a straight line in the direction of the wind. Then they would circle around and do it again and again. It was a race to see who is the fastest flyer. It was well organized and repeated, it was a game to them for sure.

The cutest crow pair I've seen were a couple looking for nesting material together. They walked side by side in perfect unison and every time they would come across a twig on the ground they would both pause. One of them would pick the twig up and present it to the other for a closer inspection. Almost every time the one holding the twig would then just let it drop and they would move on to the next twig to see if that other one could be up to their VERY picky standards. It was both so adorable and fascinating to watch. They looked like the perfect couple in love and seemed so serious and dedicated about building their nest!

I have a family of crows living close by, they brought the babies out to play in my birdbath and gobble the sunflower seeds I put out for them.

I love the corvid family—they are so clever and cheeky!

I was playing my djembe drum outside and a large flock of crows were in the nearby trees. i started to notice that their cawing was in rhythm to what I was playing. I stopped playing suddenly and they kept cawing in a pulse at the same tempo i was playing at for a little bit before it collapsed back into chaos. That was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had, playing music for an audience of crows and the crows "clapping" in time with the music like how human audiences do

I love how other crows gather above a fallen member, almost like they are mourning the death of that crow.💕

"My" crows had a specific call for me. When I came out, whoever saw me would say my name, and everyone else came. Even when it wasn't time for food. They also dive-bombed any stranger who came into my yard. I think that was sweet.

Absolutely adore crows....they are loyal, very smart and also very sweet and playful. Feed 4 crow families...plus 2 goofy seagulls...they make even a bad day...much better.

I love crows...I feed them when I'm on my work lunchbreak and they look inquisitively for the next piece of food, head tilting, bobbing around me...so adorable!

I raised a Raven this summer. Chose to stay around uncaged. He puts his head in submission when he wants to be sweet. I preen his feathers on his head and neck. These are the sweet times. He has blended into the household of three dogs and a cat. He can be bossy to them but generally get along well. Learned the meaning of "Good Trade" when I need something he has taken. Hello is being learned. Mastered a dog bark. Blessed to have him in our lives.

I befriended a crow by offering him peanut M&M’s when I was in high school, he would get on my shoulder and would follow me to school one day he even flew up on my shoulder through a open window in one of my classes but he was a distraction so teacher made me put him outside and close window. Even today I feed a pair of ravens that regularly come by and make a hell of a racket outside my house till I go out and put food on a little platform I made for them in a oak tree. Ravens are much bigger the crows but both are very cool birds.

Just reading through these comments, I have to say that bird people are the nicest people.

Their walk/waddle/head bob and hopping is so damn cute
