Back when I lived in a crow area, they spent most of their time getting owned by mockingbirds.

I get blue jays in my yard eating the birdfood I put out for them. It's amazing how quickly they figure out a hierarchy. I got a little statue of a lady holding a bowl that I put the food in and the birds organize as such: Biggest Grackle sits in the bowl throwing food on the ground and eating the corn Smaller Grackles eat the food on the ground that they want Blue Jays hang around the periphery dashing in to grab a bite then dashing back out Finches just bounce around eating the small seeds no one wants Mourning Doves sit on the ground 10 feet away waiting for the commotion to end and picking up the scraps later birds rule

Here are some scrub jays displaying their color memory by playing the shell game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4piWGZKIH4 And here is a raven named Fable, solving puzzles and showing off how much smarter she is than scrub jays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE3f2H_5mXU Lychnis fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Mar 29, 2020 |

Chokes McGee posted:yeah but it's France so how do we know that crow isn't a smoker i had to go to paris for work last summer. I stayed in a cheap motel out by de gualle, but it had a courtyard in the middle with a couple big trees. in the biggest of the trees sat some black and white corvids, magpies probably. i had never been to europe before so im just guessing. anyway, none of them were smoking, best I could tell. they were very french and snobbish and they refused to speak to me because i could only say a few courtesy words in their mother tongue. pricks - i knew drat well they spoke english. i can only imagine what they had to say about the fat american when j went back to my room

My grandmother has a semi-wild pet crow that would follow her to school when she was a kid. The dream, basically.

FUN FACT! My last name is Crowe, or, as I have called it on every forum, "crow but with an e". I have no idea why that name, because my family never loving gets it's story straight. I really like my last name, and I think crows are cool even if I know very little about them.

I live in Florida and was loving green with envy about how many people itt seem to be just chilling with scrub jays and thinking nothing of it when they're so rare... turns out there is more than one type of scrub jay, and only ours are a conservation concern! Still jealous, but it's a good thing there are some subtypes of the little guys out there who are doing okay.

Still jealous, but it's a good thing there are some subtypes of the little guys out there who are doing okay. Aw, yeah. Ours are Western or California scrub jays (they keep changing the name), and they're doing fine. The ones out here seem to adapt very well to urban and suburban living. They're common backyard birds here in Portland. They're so common, in fact, that lots of people don't like them: like all corvids, they can be aggressive and apparently sometimes bully smaller birds at feeders. I never see any jays bothering the flocks of goldfinches I also feed, though - as soon as they figured out they're too big for the finch feeders, they started just completely ignoring them.

Outside of my workplace is the site of an eternal battle between families of crows and red tailed hawks. It happens literally every Summer since I've been there. Baby crows, born into a war they didn't ask for.

In Yachats, the war is between the crows and the seagulls. They occupy opposite banks of the estuary: big patches of white covering the wet sand on one side of the water, big patches of black covering the sand on the other.

Both of these sound metal as gently caress. No bird wars where I am, sadly. I grew up in a neighborhood with lots of crow activity, but where I live there are only blue jays, wading birds, vultures (so many doom birds! My old apartment had a group of them that would roost on the roof across from us and just watch us come and go), and ospreys... so many ospreys, it's awesome. But I haven't seen a crow or a red-tailed hawk in ages, and now that I think about it that's pretty weird for Florida. Are ospreys aggressive towards them? I've never seen one even notice another bird, they just hunt their fish and make their weird little high-pitched noises. Maybe the crows just don't gently caress with coastline?

Been walking along the train tracks lately and noticed a raven couple collecting grasses for a nest on top of an electric pylon. Maybe we'll get to see some baby ravens soon

Dreddout posted:they're so mean they bully the poo poo out of blackbirds and even cardinals They do, but they also do an organized predator alert system for all the birds and are typically on the front lines driving threats away. It makes sense that a group of them is called a "mob", they run a protection racket.
