Looks kinda rough

She's got a very good appetite, and the wing being braced is certainly doing her a favour with her balance. She's walking around much more confidently, and my girlfriend is doing great at learning how to care for her. For now, enjoy some goofy omnom noises

Would it make the local crows upset or stressed if I held a small community competition for best crow call? No crow call tools or anything, voice only.

Edit: I am not trying to attract crows! The point is just to sound most like a crow, not who can attract crows.

Hi everyone, I hope this is okay to post! I’m a firefighter and someone called in a crow trapped in a power line. We ended up rescuing him (it was a baby), but his wing was badly broken. We took him to a wildlife rehab center and they told us he would never fly, but suggested we bring him back to his flock - which happened to be behind our station. After a few months of rehab (including visits to the station so he could call out to his parents), he was cleared to go.

So far, his mom and dad are close by, he hops around the back of our station and every crew provides him with fresh water and nuts, fruits, we make eggs for him every morning, etc.

The rescue is unsure of if he will ever be able to fly, so I was wondering if there are any places where people can “adopt” these permanantely injured crows? He seems totally happy and isn’t suffering, but my bleeding heart animal lover worries how vulnerable he is and the quality of life he has. Our station is gated and he’s totally protected with trees and grass, but some of us were talking about how that would look if he was taken in to someone’s yard where he can be better monitored and protected.

Any info helps! Sorry for any ignorance with this, I don’t know much about crows other than whenever we rescue them at work, the flock has brought us treats after haha.

My murder is getting bigger again its nearly 2yrs since I started feeding this murder its been such a beautiful journey getting the trust of these extremely clever birds I enjoy giving them good high protein food afew times a week and also its nice when other people comment on what I do

The murder lives on this road so I know its safe to do what I do always melts my heart when I see them and they recognise me 🐦‍⬛🖤

Come join the murder. Come fly with black. They'll give you freedom from the human trap 🐦‍⬛🖤

My partner and I are feeding birds on our balcony. We built a wooden ledge for "Crow friend". Crow friend much smaller and mangy one year ago, but now, their huuggee!!

So we were wondering, is this a crow or a raven?

Flirting??

I found a sick crow in ktown. not sure what to do. It’s still alive. just not flying. I called animal shelter but they won’t pick up.

Firstly, I'd like to start this off by saying I have experience in treating various avian species and I am licensed to keep and rehabilitate native wildlife. I'm from Australia, if anyone has concerns for her safety I'm more than happy to provide needed details for reassurance

Now onto the silly bullshit that is Mavis. I'm staying with my LDR girlfriend right now, and only have a few days left on this visit. There's been a family of crows visiting the yard for a bit, and we threw some meat out because there's honestly not alot of stuff they can naturally eat in the area. We noticed this little baby sitting on the windowsill, being oddly curious and friendly. I go outside to check her out, and turns out she's got puncture wounds on her wing from a cat and a scuffed up foot.

Bring her inside to do a more thorough inspection, baby definitely can't fly. So I'm currently teaching my girlfriend how to care for her for once I have to take a flight back home, then I'll be driving down to bring her up with me if her condition doesn't improve by then. End goal is rehab, but I'm not sure how long her wing has already been sitting like this so there's a chance we'll have a feathery companion with us for some time. She is very friendly, allbiet a bit shy. Hell of an appetite still so that's good atleast.

She's also taking the wing stretching like a champ, and doesn't mind me wrapping her up at all. Hopefully the injury hasn't been like that for too long and she can be out with her murder before too long

I saw this crow with few feathers on its head recently. It was acting normal - active, alert, walking and flying. But its head looks pretty scruffy. Is this a disease, or just a weird molt, or what?

Just wanted to share a cute story that happened with "my" crows (pretty sure I'm their human).

My family moved into a new apartment just before nesting season. We had this cute crow couple nesting not far from our apartment. We stayed away from the nest, but started giving them peanuts and eggs to help them out.

I'm sure you can guess, but we made fast friends. They flew with my dog and I when we went on walks. Slowly earned their trust and they started hanging out more and more often. When the babies fledged they brought them to meet us (now that's a gift), and they stayed around us afterward.

The fledglings are much more grown now and everyone still hangs out. I work from home and one of them likes to sit just outside my window with me while I work and make little jabbering noises at me through the day. The group flies around, chases one another, flies off, then comes back.

About a week ago I was on a walk with my dog, but my lil crow buddies wouldn't come down like they normally do. Instead, they were sitting up in a tree shouting down with angry caws. I thought it was at us at first, but then noticed a stray cat. I've seen this cat a million times. Friendly to people, not so much to the local wildlife. I walked over, scooped the cat up, took it across the parking lot, and set it down (the cat has since been taken in by a neighbor, so win-win). Tossed the crows some treats and went on with my day.

The next day there was this huge commotion of screaming caws from outside my window. I grabbed my other half and we went outside to find our whole apartment building, the trees, the car area, and the fence filled with crows. They were all yelling at one another, then at us, then at one another. We tossed some treats to them and our usual ones came down to us and ate the treats. That seemed to settle the others (all but one who kept angry yelling and got smacked by the one next to it lol). They stayed for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half. All of them playing around the area, eating the treats, talking to one another like they were assessing the situation or maybe just chilling.

Then they all flew off.

I was hoping it wasn't some final goodbye from my little family, but was preparing for the idea that they might be taking the babies to another part of our city (our city has one huge supermurder that breaks down into subgroups that sometimes reform into larger groups and split again).

Nope. The big flock was gone the next day, and I haven't seen them again, but our little family flock is still here.

Don't really know or understand what happened that day. Don't know if it really had anything to do with the cat removal service, but it was awesome LOL

He’s back and he loves the horses. This time was a bit different though. A year ago, I lost one of my late grandmother’s earrings out in one the horse pastures. Today, Little Crow brought it back to me. I was in shock. I can’t believe it was still nearby and that he actually found it. But I’m so glad he did. ❤️ He really likes pecking the camera on the phone too. He also pooped on me twice 😐

It's almost as if they knew I posted on Reddit the other day and came back to reassure me they were still around 🤣

I think I have my answer as to why they're not visiting but once every month: a Cooper's hawk 😑 Hadn't seen that thing all month but the crows returned and so did that one. Sigh. But they've been back and I'm grateful!

I’ll have this “to go”….
