    Yeah, fuckin freeloading babies. Crows repay kindness with shiny things though, so I’d take them off the list.

      During the snow storm a couple weeks ago, I put a pack of walnuts and dried fruit out for the 3 crows that are always in my yard. The next day they were staring in the window at me so I put another pack out.

      That afternoon around 100 crows were on my house pooping on everything. A week later my driveway and deck still have a solid covering of poop that the rain hasn’t been able to wash away.

        Keep feeding them and you’ll have a loyal army of crows, and that’s more than worth the cost of peanuts and a power washer.

          Isn’t bird poop acidic? Wouldn’t that fuck up your house? Other than that I would love a murder of crows just chilling by me.

        Put a dollar bill with the next pack of fruit and nuts and see if they will start bringing you cash.

          Maybe something cheap but shiny and see if they come with jewellery?

        That’s a sign of affection from a bird.
