Sad depressed and new to town with no one i knew i walked up to my local church with my two kids. Walking up i saw three of the largest most majestic crows on a branch directly facing us that we would have to pass under to get to the picbic table there. I could sense them studying us and watching our every move. They bagan to converse with one another and stayed on branch until we left. They followed me home that day. Like they could sense how depressed and lost i felt. They began making appearences in my yars and at my back door. I began feeding them and they would sit spread in the giant maple and surronding trees out back. When i began feeding them they would wake me or caw relentlessly for me to feed them. They would follow us through town while we walked to do our errands. They sat quietly in the trees and would caw onpy if i was alone when my ex was sick of cancer and dying as though they heard him express his discomfort at their presense. They have brought many many more friends

Crows are the most amazing of all birds. Not only are they smart at devising tools but they have also been observed to have cultural habits just like humans..

I think all members of the Corvid family are smart, they're incredible birds. Kind of gives new meaning to the term 'bird brain'.

When my dad was growing up there was a friendly crow that lived near their house that used to be a pet, and could speak. When my uncle first encountered him the crow followed him around and just kept screaming "F**K" really loud.

I love crows, they are intelligent and cute. I guess a lot of animals are very smart, we can't see it because we don't understand. And that last story, how amazing!

I have trained ravens here in Australia with peanuts in the shell which is like candy to them. Merlin, my bestest raven buddy, recognises me and flies ahead of me and brings me twigs as a thank you. If I don't pick his twig up, he will grab it hop along beside me and throw it at my feet. Heehee. The secret is to find your local raven or Crow and throw a peanut loudly on the footpath (keep some in your pocket when walking etc) as they will recognise the sound as well as your face. Merlin even caws "hehroooooooow" as my daughter and I aren't afraid to try talking with him ;) .... Hope someone reads this and makes a new buddy.

I feed peanuts to the squirrels in the park. A crow invited himself to the party. Now if I don't get the peanuts out of the window fast enough he hops on the hood of my truck and squawks at me.
