    How good is a crows hearing? I’m wondering if it’s coincidence that the crows outside my window are mimicking your crows on tv!😆
    Another great video! Thank you

    I feed crows unsalted peanuts in the shell -- I crush all the shells so it's easier for them to open. I give the peanuts in the shell because they like to fly off with them

      Don't crush the shells I think, from my experience they fly off with them to hide. In the shell they stay fresh longer.

    I want to say thank you for all of your hard work. You saved the lifes of all of your birds, and yes I think they are imprinted to you. So I see no problem at all, otherwise they would have died!
    Peach is so comfortable with you, and Peach shows to all of us how lovely and intelligent these birds are - they deserve much more attention and not only sadly be hunted!
    And look at Pie, the Talking Magpie - isn´t that something so amazing? She tells all others to "get ready for bed"! Dennis and Kullike, thanks for this channel, its always a joy to watch it! Greetings out of Bavaria, Germany!

    This was interesting as well as informative. If any crows come by, I’ll know what they like. I’ll try some rice some time. I give the raw peanuts to the bluejays and scarecrows - as long as Mr. Squirrel doesn’t get them first! I always have a mix of seed for all the birds, but the squirrels usually mess up the feeder and it all falls to the ground. Oh well, at least the morning doves clean it up pretty well.

    The wild crows get unsalted peanuts in the shell from me. It's amazing how they recognize the sound of a peanut in the shell hitting the pavement from far distance! Always enjoy watching Peach, Maple, Cherry and the magpies and Kassie too!

    I feed our local birds which consists of Robins and crows usually bird seed and nuts and mealworms I also feed a fox every evening he stops by for a meal. Sometimes it’s funny as my cats chase him round the garden 😂 I love all animals they are a blessing to us all 💜

    So glad to read that people are feeding UNSALTED nuts! Birds cannot excrete salt as we can, thus it is very bad for them! Just as Dennis and Kullike say 👍❤

    • @pressleymoore6978
      @pressleymoore6978 Před 3 lety +3

      Except for marine birds such as gulls. Gulls secrete salt from a special gland near the base of the bill.

    • @DigitalDuelist
      @DigitalDuelist Před 8 měsíci +1

      Yet if you have a parrot they need salt. Birds are weird. Crows eat carrion in the wild among other things, I think the video is off. Only meat would be bad, but a few grams a day very good

    How thankful to find this site,I stopped feeding a family of maggies mince when found out they get Rickets & make their wings rubbery,making it harder to fly..I enjoyed watching them forage for bugs & worms naturally..I supplied fresh water...How entertaining.They come up onto the table to greet me.I love how the babies lie on their backs for their mothers to feed them with legs in the air, when she orders..Now I know the right food,thankyou..Is soaked Whiskers Dry Cat Bicky's ok & Basmati white rice & uncooked corn ok..or does it have to be brown rice(& or organic)..I will also checkout Petstore for Wombaroo Insectivores,the Maggie supplement or is the above sufficient..I do know both my neighbours on each side of me are also feeding these Maggie's..I know one lady only gives the ocassional dog food..but who knows if the other is giving mince steak?...Are they overfed??

    • @chv72
      @chv72  Před 2 lety

      You will have to force feed the bird. Wrap bird in towel and then hold with one hand while trying to gently open beak. Then push food all the way down with finger. We use moistened kitten kibble for feeding. It is hard at first but you will get use to it after a few times.
