@Jgbird There's nothing "common" about them.

@Jgbird next year I’m going to Japan, including Okinawa to visit family, and I’m so excited about the crows with enormous raven bills.

@Jgbird Love this! I feature a stylized raven in my podcast logo (Foundation major character Hari Seldon's nickname).

Are you the photographer?

@Jgbird beautiful birds. We live in the west of Ireland and every morning black billed crows gather outside and line the rooves of our cul de sac.

@ValkyrieKerry

I'm fond of inviting them "in", so to speak 😎

Thems absolutely love that venison-mix cat food.

@Jgbird
A favorite memory: I was winter camping one year in extreme northern Minnesota (US) and woke up in semi-darkness covered in 4 inches of fresh snow. Two ravens spoke softly to each other in a small birch tree above me. All else was silent.

@Jgbird I’ve always thought it would be so heartening to be befriended by a raven or a crow. Kind of a #fantasy of mine.

@Kasulay @Jgbird Me too. Crows eat from our compost, but they fly away when they see me. I wonder how I can indicate my friendship.

@danpouliot @Jgbird I’ve often thought about what I’d do to friend one should it ever come into my property. Start by offering various food stuffs….
Show threadDan PouliotDec 23, 2022
@Kasulay @Jgbird They're getting food daily. One of these days maybe they'll soften to me 🤞
I bet you've seen this story:

The girl who gets gifts from birds

Lots of people give food to the birds in their garden and get nothing in return - but when one girl feeds the crows outside her house, they show their affection with tiny presents.
