8-Year-Old Girl Receives Gifts From The Crows She’s Been Feeding Since She Was 4
Every once in a while, Gabi Mann, an 8-year-old girl who lives in Seattle, gets a small, special gift delivered to her home. She saves every one she can because they’re from a very special group of friends – the local crow population, which brings her shiny trinkets as gifts in thanks for feeding them since she was 4.
These ‘gifts’ consist of buttons, LEGO pieces, scraps of metal, and even a heart-shaped bead. Once, Gabi even got a piece of metal with the word “best” on it. They might not seem like much, but they are Gabi’s most valuable collection.

That's amazing! Crows are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. Did you know that they can mimic humans talking like parrots do?
I saw one video of a crow saying "F**k you" back to a guy XD amazing.

this is so sweet! what a great job the parents and crows are doing of teaching a child to respect and love nature <3
I never knew crows could be so grateful, if I feed them they just fly off and don't come back with a gift.
I bet a lot of kids wish they were in her shoes. That's a great story. (One suggestion for posters, watch language as kids might read these)
Crows mourn when they lose a friend or family member. They will all gather over their fallen friend and watch over them for up to an hour.
"They might not seem like much...." - Are you KIDDING? That's like the best thing EVER!
I have watched several documentaries on the extreme intelligence of these creatures. Seems they have bg hearts, too. What a sweet story.
crows are so smart! i once read an article on how a scientist trains crows to be able to use change to get snacks from vending machines!
Unreal, how clever are the crows, I knew they like shiny things but to bring them to this little girl is precious ..
They are amazing, I have a family of crows living in my garden, if I go out, they go with me.
That’s so cool that you kept them all. Those are “special” and things she’ll remember forever
Strange and bizarre. wonder why they started bringing her gifts and then when did she first notice the gifts.
This is why crows are my favorite birds! They are so smart and so resourceful! Brilliant birds! I love this story. Gabi is a lucky girl!
Awesome I feed the crows too! Maybe I'll be honored with some gifts.
I think this is my favorite story today and that Gabi is a very special little girl.
A gift from an animal strikes deep in my heart. In fact, every incident where communicative connection is made excites me. Hooray, Gabi!!
This is so cool! Amazing expression of crow love for little girl love.
These Birds , '' CROWS '' are among the cleverest of all our birds , !
A remarkable relationship. Gabi is a very special child - birds are by nature cautions and suspicious of humans with very good reason!
Gaby is my kind of girl. Crows are beauty to her---Bravo Baby! Me as well. Those folks that want to kill them are silly and empty of life.
Crows can remember a face for I think 5 years, but they never forget an angry face.
How sweet is that? Most people think crow's are nasty birds but their actually very social and intelligent.
Way to go, Sweetie. Love comes back to you and your loving heart will bring you other gifts as well.
how very sweet of gabi to feed them...how very cool of them to gift her...simply a great story all around
They get cashews!! Teaches us a lot and this story made me so happy. What a legacy to carry through life.
Wonderful wonderful!!! Good for you, Gabi. Yes, crows can remember and recognize faces, too. They remember who's nice & who's not.
Crows have a sense of fairness and reciprocation. There is honor among crows.
Most things are amazing! Love all living things no matter how small! I love love !!!!!
Awesome! We have a close connection with all gods creations they are spiritual as humans are and bonds can be so strpng
I believe that the crows are returning the favor to the little girl. Crows appear to have more intelligence thanpeople realize.
I have been receiving "gifts" from pigeons who I feed all through the winter time. In spring they bring small tree branches.
Awesome! We once had a pet crow and I taught him to say "Hello." Also saw a program about crows and they can problem solve in steps.
Awesome! I saw a program on T.V. about crows and they can figure out steps. We had a pet crow and I taught him to say "Hello."
I believe your daughter has a gift and not the ones the crows are giving her. These birds are gods creatures as well , she is specia!,
This article gave me a new perspective on crows. Just because they're colored black doesn't mean they're sinister. Same goes with race.
