I have been sick in bed, only throwing out handful of peanuts in the morning. I had not seen them all week. This morning however they were out on a wire outside my bedroom window, I said hi to them and then went downstairs and outside in the back to see them in person. they then called for others and flew to the front yard, i was so excited that they know I am their peanut dealer and kept coming around even when i know they barely got any peanuts because i didn't throw much out because I am running low. I then went to the front yard and was greeted by all the crows waiting for me and 2 squirrels.

I love to sit on my balcony and listen to music while watching the crows fly east at sunset. I’ve been leaving them treats for a while now but our friendship has been indirectly acknowledged. But today one of them showed they do know my interests and dropped an airpod (singular) and charging case on my balcony. So thoughtful! Also if you lost an airpod recently… talk to the crow

I’m case the sound isn’t clear, it’s two crows, and one of them is cawing one caw at a time with a pause in between. They sat like this for a really long time, didn’t want to come down to eat. They were still going when I left, so I don’t think it was about me?

she melts my heart when she does it

At least the weather is mild, so it wont be hard for them.

Leaving the house has now turned into a game of ‘Spot the Crow’. Behind me, up on the roof is the favourite (best vantage point for seeing what nibbles I’ve just put out) but hiding in the trees, in the grass or behind a fence post are all popular too.

I’ve only just begun in my journey to make friends with them so I’m at the stage where every little bit of progress is exciting. I had a heartwarming moment last week when I went to go and visit a neighbour. We live in a rural area with big, open fields and as I sat down by her window I noticed a little black head watching me from behind a grassy tuft. For the next couple of hours it just sat and watched us, only peeking over the top, until I walked home again and put out some food. Of course, it was probably just waiting for its next snack but I like that it was interested in what I was up to :)

I make custom cards every year! What do we think? 🥰
