I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.
The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.
I'll be over on !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works.
Our crows seem entirely uninterested in the idea of a friendship. They will hang around talking to each other and waiting for a time to grab food, but they aren't interested in coming to get it. The [Australian] Magpies will happily be your friend if you need them. I used to like them up along our fence and hand feed them one by one.
My dad fed magpies, and there was an especially pushy juvenile who's come right up to the kitchen window and let him know when it was feeding time. I didn't think he tried hand feeding.
I live in the US now and one of our crows reminds me of that magpie, real talkative juvenile, quite demanding. I've tried hand feeding but no luck so far.
There's a really difficult trail around here that has birds at the top that will land on your palm and eat out of your hand. It's wild that they've learned to do that, because it's a grueling trail that people only use for training, but everyone takes extra food now and feeds the birds at the top before heading back down.
