OMG I did this with a crow recently. Am a pretty good mimic, crow was across the street, he looks over and caws, I repeat it, he gets huffy and flies away. Well, don't dish it if you can't take it!

Watch out. Crows remember their enemies, share that info with the rest of the group, and can pass that information down to the next generation.

I always verbally greet crows politely.

I have restored our relationship by very obviously showing them white cheddar cheese puffs, eating one, and leaving them three of them, twice; then leaving cat food once. They are nice now. (Meaning of they are in my yard I can go to the mailbox and they just chill). When I see them I do bring them something but am not home much lately.

But really, if you are gonna cuss me out, what do you expect?

Last week I was out in front and heard an exchange so nice - one yells "caw caw" then the other "cawcawcawcaw" over and over until finally MR. Caw Caw says "caw caw, cawcawcawcaw" and they both stopped. It made me laugh.

Crows love dog food and unsalted peanuts.

You want friends you ought to carry some in your pockets, caw politely and place some food down and walk off.

I have a murder that hangs out in front of my house that know me now.
