Is it a sparrow or crow? Would be fun to train it to eat out of your hand
Discussion
Well im trying to get the crows to come closer. The sparrows are just all over they have a nest in the a big tree across the street from me. The crows come and go.
I'm guessing the crows will be tough to 'train'. They are smart and cautious of humans. They seem to have a distance that they like to keep
the family of corvids is so fascinating... the jackdaws (my favourite, with their small size and grey heads and pretty songs) the ravens with their bent beaks, the rooks with their straight long beaks and strutting around like 19th century judges, the crows and their bizarre songs when they gather in trees, and the magpies with their machine-gun sounding calls and mischeivous thievery of shiny things
i love birds... almost as much as i love cats... many more species tho
also, yeah, crows like meat, so that's a big difference to sparrows, throw out some scraps of meat and the crows will learn to come at the hour you do it, and there's lots of other cool things you can do with crows, i've heard of people training them to find lost money and bring it to you, for example
