Related communities:
I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.
The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.
I'll be over on [email protected].
A bird bringing me gifts is one of my biggest dreams in life.
You could try doing what this girl did https://www.audubon.org/news/seattle-girl-befriends-neighborhood-crows-making-bird-lovers-everywhere-jealous
Is she the one who got sued by neighbors?
In their lawsuit, two neighbors – Matt Ashbach and Christine Yokan – claimed the Manns’ bird feeders were drawing rats and flocks of birds to the East Shelby Street home. They demanded $200,000 in compensation for damage they claimed had been done by the birds, and a court order preventing the Manns from setting out more than a quarter-pound of animal food each day.
Me too. I see all these people making crow friends and I want in.
Cat food and unsalted peanuts
I can't believe this! I've been feeding starlings near me with bits of Greggs baguettes and pastries.
Have I received a stone?
Have I bollocks!!
Selfish little bastards - I'm going on strike. No more will they take advantage of my altruistic nature!
I thought I was building an army of starlings! Instead I've been taken for a fool!
I hate starlings with a passion. Sorry but they are beating out a lot of my local song birds.
They're only even in the US because of Shakespeare smh
I don't think starlings give gifts.I could be wrong tho.
Starlings don't give presents. They just want to go for a car ride.
Could you share more about what the mods are doing?
While I think it's better to discuss rule changes ahead of time, many communities are in early stages and are being built up as we go.
In that case it's still worth discussing the rule changes after they happen. You're free to use whichever community and not say anything, but it helps to share what you don't like so others can weigh in (and maybe change unpopular rules)
You have created a friendship with a murder of crows. Be well with your new power.
'Hmmm - what can I bring in return? No cool shiny things around here- ooh! Gizzard stones! They're useful! Hope this one's big enough 'cause they're much bigger than I am!'
My crows have never brought me anything :/ They've followed me home from the shop squawking to be fed, and they'll hang around and chat, but they have yet to sully our relationship with remuneration.
*remurderation
That's payment for a second piece of pastry. Failure to complete the transaction will result in your status being marked contemptible by the Crow Commerce Coalition. Appropriate sanctions and penalties will apply. They're gonna follow you home, tell their friends and track your vehicle. They'll probably harass your kids. Crow clan ain't nothing to fuck with.
The Murder of Crows has a Crow Commerce Coalition‽
I've been feeding my local crow family, unsalted roasted peanuts almost every day for two years now. They know me and come flying over whenever they see me walk outside my house, sometimes they even follow me home in my car or on my bike. They've never brought me shit, ungrateful little bastards.
I've been trying to do this. I seem to have several separate groups of crows living in the nearby woods. But they are super skittish. If they are in the yard and I open the door, they immediately fly away.
I've been trying to do a mix of a unique whistling call, and throwing food, but I don't think they've even found the food, let alone connected it to the whistle.
Do you have dogs? You will not be able to befriend crows if you have dogs or cats. They will always immediately fly away. I tried to befriend our neighborhood crows for years, with zero success. They'd always fly away, like you said. But within a week of our dogs passing, the crows stopped flying away when we went outside. Idk how they know, but they know.
Crow stones bring luck for the rest of the crow's lifespan!
The crows in Seattle are a special kind of smart. I always enjoyed watching them doing their thing. Watching them fly west in the morning and east in the evening is magical. So many crows for a brief moment!
Don't eat it! It's a trap!
I think he just proposed to you. You're obligated to help it build a nest, now.
Congratulations on opening your first restaurant!
