  The crow is such a wise and intelligent bird, which is why I am a fan of crows myself.

  I have a family of four Crows in my garden that I feed, every morning at least one is sitting in a tree above the garden, when I throw out the scraps the watching Crow gives two loud calls and the other three come flying in, yes they are clever.

  I&apos;ve been around some Corvids who were incredibly intelligent, over my life. <br>One crow came to my office window every day at noon. How a crow knew the time, I have no idea.<br>Regardless, I would sit at a picnic table behind my office building and gladly share my lunch with this crow every day I was in town. <br>I thought it was a male crow until a friend who was a zoologist informed me that my crow friend was a female. <br>The thing that blew my mind was one day as I drove away from the building at about 3 pm, I was shocked to see the crow flying right next to the driver&apos;s side window! She followed me all the way to a take out restaurant where I waited to pick up an order. <br>The crow flew over and sat on my shoulder as I was sitting at an outside table<br>She&apos;d never done that before. <br>Eventually, I closed that office though I would go and have lunch with my crow friend. <br>Finally, I moved away from that city and never saw my crow friend again. <br>Pity too, she was a nice friend.

  I have a crow call that I’ll bring fishing to a local reservoir. <br>The crows at the campgrounds know my van and will follow me to my fishing spot to get me to talk to them. I’ll mimic them by repeating their calls. <br><br>I had a crow lead me in a count up to ten and back down to zero. <br>I turned around and looked at the crow in amazement that it could count. <br>I watched the crow go over to its buddies and talk, looking back at me.<br>I got the feeling that they were amazed that I knew how to count. <br><br>I’ve showed my friends how the crows react to my calls. <br>The whole murder will fly counter clockwise around my van while one crow will hover and caw at us thru the windshield. <br>My friends get scared and will tell me to stop. <br><br>Crows &amp; Ravens are my favorite birds. <br>They’re the only birds that are not afraid of the Eagle that resides at the reservoir. <br>I’ve seen them run the Eagle off. And if you’ve ever seen a bald Eagle up close, they are the most intimidating bird you will ever see.

  I had a Raven that had a shattered wing. We both had messed up left shoulders. He was not only smart he was funny ,crazy, vindictive, scared , happy, and I loved him so. He got out and now lives at the church. Making the alarm go off to disrupt the funeral that&apos;s going on across the street. Unbelievable

  At the Grand Canyon in Arizona, it is illegal to feed wild animals. &nbsp;Ravens often make loud, raucous calls that would probably scare children. I observed a raven on a wall where many people were walking by. &nbsp;The raven was making cute cooing noises. &nbsp;I observed a person eating a bagel and watching the raven. &nbsp;The person said &quot;Oh darn, I dropped part of my bagel&quot; which the Raven gladly accepted. &nbsp;Since it was an &quot;accident&quot;, no rules were broken. &nbsp;The raven continued this behavior and was frequently rewarded by people &quot;accidentally&quot; dropping food...

  The more that is learned about various animals, the more humble I become.

  I LOVE crows! They protect my property from hawks. I feed them very well and they bring me gifts and follow me around on my walks. The blue jays also help protect squirrels and other birds from the hawk! <br>They love peanuts and all kinds of other healthier foods💚

  My crow could talk he knew my call and would come flying up to me no matter where in Town I was when I called his name and when he was injured he came straight home knowing he was going to be cared for and he actually called me Mama. He was by far the smartest pet I&apos;ve ever had..!!
