A crow on a concrete post swishing its wings about in dramatic fashion. Have you ever seen a crow dance flamenco?

And with a swish of their wings, they were gone

A crow stood in a purple shrub looking as though it is winking at me. It's just the nictitating membrane covering one eye.

I'm not sure I like you winking at me

Thank you 😀

A crow standing on a concrete pillar with the river and bushes behind it. The crow is stood upright and has its heap pointing diagonally upwards. Its eyes are bright and shiny and a teeny bit bulgey

Do I look elegant?
No, just wierd!

A crow grabbing a peanuts while still on the move

The crow leaving as his attacker arrives

Nothing to see here folks. The crows have fled the scene and the peanut with it

Even in the middle of a fight, a crow can find the time to pick up a peanut.
Apologies for the shoddy photography

It's tough. Much of the lake is home to crows without territory - but it's easy to accidentally wander into a spot that has been claimed and then the fighting begins. And while all this mayhem is going on, they all quickly grab a peanut or two

Well, getting all these peanuts means I've got more time to chill 😉

A fluffed up crow on a tempory fence. Crows that fluff themselves up qualify for an extra peanut

Fluffin up for you

Very good 😅

Gang wars. Stressed crows fighting - but they still have time to grab a peanut

A photo of a crow showing its side profile. It's buried deep in purple and yellow shrubs in a flowerbed at the lake. The crow is waiting (somewhat patiently) for a treat

Where's my peanut. I've been waiting for over 20 seconds!

Amazing photo Brian, including the other one of the crow carrying its bounty

A stressed crow defending its patch (you can tell by the raised head feathers) with wind-ruffled feathers eposing the white patches below.

Don't you dare rub me up the wrong way!

You snooze, you lose

They are a total myth 😄

A crow standingf upright - he looks like he is reporting for duty. The crow has patches of white on his chest suggesting he's been fighting

You're a bit slow reporting for duty, corporal!

A photo of the head and shoulders of a crow. They look very confident which means they are probably asking me for a peanut

Hello, do you have anything for a hungry crow?

😅

A crow watches on helplessly while another takes the last peanut. It's all about speed and confidence

Watch and learn little one, watch and learn

Caught in the act. A crow on a concrete pillar with a beak full of peanuts. The nictitating membrane is partially covering the eye giving the crow a guilty look.

And where do you think you're going in such a hurry Mr Crow?
#crow #corvid #cawmunity 🪶

Very true

😂

There are plenty of people happy to feed birds without expecting them to do our dirty work

When the bad weather comes, best get ready with the treats

A crow standing at the edge of a cluster of purple shrubs at the lake. The crow is slightly puffed up from the cold and is looking at me

I'm protected by an impenetrable barrier
So you don't want to come and get a peanut then?

It doesn't feel like spring this week. The complete opposite. I could have been imagining things but last week I think I even sae the rooks surveying their nests from last year

Crows are such resilient birds. I've noticed not only leucism but missing toes (and nails) yet they seem to get by. I know a few that have pretty bad injuries to their feet in general. I guess in the wild, you simply have to get on with things

Thank you

Then a pouch. It's an error I keep making

I think it was the Swedes in one city who trained crows to pick up cigarette buts in exchange for a treat - but some prominent crow expert said they'd soon tire of that game
