In spring, when nature reawakens and the migratory birds return from their wintering grounds, the cycle of nature starts anew and our bird neighbors are all very busy. So what exactly do crows do in spring?

i'm actually trying to be friend with my local crow family. your videos are a good inspiration to do so and makes me excited to see the progress... :)
I hope you have many years of beautiful interactions with your new crow friends. The friendship that awaits you will live with you forever. Such intelligent, caring & inquisitive beings. Blessings to & your new feathered friends 🙏✌️ 🥰
Try to meet them at the same times every day and wearing the same colours helps too .make eye contact when putting food out and lower your head when walking away from the food . It shows them some respect .
Dokarmiam na moim osiedlu grupę wron szarych. Ostatnio zauważyłam jak biją i odganiają inne osobniki. Teraz wiem dlaczego. Dzięki za tak ciekawy kanał. Bardzo lubię moje zaprzyjaźnione wrony. Na mój widok zawsze specyficznie kraczą .
Mine too. When they spot me, they fly by my side. Today I handfed my first crow. ❤
@@Microbex 👋☺️

Thank you :-)
your video is fantastic again, my pleasure!👏
Thank you!
Cool, thanks!
❤️ watching Krari & his mate Kru 🪺 🌲
Ah the cranes! :) So spring has definitely come then :D
Yes :-)
❤your channel. I always say that but I do. I ❤ birds. Especially my local hummingbirds and crows that visit my yard. I give them peanuts. However the squirrels lately have not been allowing the crows to eat because they are gobbling up the peanuts. The crows are gathering branches for their nest. Ty for your videos .
Thank you for sharing ....lovely.
This morning I actually dreamt i was a baby bird hatching in a nest and peering over the edge of the nest then a parent bird coming to feed me. Then I saw your video lol.
I've been feeding my birds in the UK, the last three years now. I made friends with two breeding pairs.. I was confused when they disappeared in spring the first time and then the numbers of birds changed.. and then I realised it was because the previous years chicks went off to find their own mates and left while the two breeding pairs disappeared and only visited sporadically. But then they re-appeared with the new chicks after about a month or so proudly presenting them to me when they fledged from the nest. Now I know their cycle, I know what to expect. I don't have a garden or patio like you, since I live in a highrise apartment block, but my birds do come and sit on my roof and call me and sit with me sometimes and often fly past to wake me and say hi in the morning. Thanks for sharing your content. We have black carrion crows in the UK where I am, but the behaviour is the same. Your videos are really insightful, beautifully filmed and narrated. Thank you. :-)
Thank you fellow crow friend :-)
Thank you for this detailed explanation of crow breeding pair behavior and how the youngsters get in the way of essential activity. I understand this better now. I'm not sure American crows behave precisely the same -- I think they sometimes nest communally -- but this is still fascinating. I hope you are doing well!
Hi, I read that in american crows the older youngsters do act as helpers sometimes. It might be true with hooded crows as well but I have never seen it so far.
I am doing well, thank you I hope you are well too! warm greetings to you :-)
Thank you very much for the nice video. I have a similar scenario on my terrace with my pair of Hooded Crows. The young crows from last year are still around with new friends and that is very stressful for the parents. QUESTION.. what can I offer my crow family as nesting material here in their very concrete city territory. I don't have a cat like you. Artificial filling from a old pillow ? Do you have a suggestion? Thanks for an answer. I learn so much from your videos as I have only been an accepted close friend of my crows for a year. Greetings from Vienna.
Hi, thank you for watching 😊. Crows are very creative and use all sorts of soft material for their nest. you can lay out moss or dry grass for example.
Take hair off your hairbrush which I’ll be doing. I’ve got hairs from a wee while back when I cut ✂️ my hubby’s hair with his clippers. He wasn’t able or his barber 💈 was on holiday.
Some of the orphaned crows and ravens that we have raised over the years were not accepted by the local territory owners the next spring and one was even killed. The territory was controlled for many, many years by the same pair of ravens, who apparently had very strict rules.
For the most part, however, the strangers were tolerated, although or because? they had never joined the swarm, but always preferred to stay in our care and company.
sehr Interessant :)
Freut mich, danke!
Насколько понимаю территории у ворон все же наследственные
Danke für das Video!
In der Vergangenheit habe ich mich gefragt, ob es nicht Sinn machen würde, wenn die älteren Kinder bleiben würden, damit sie helfen können fremde Krähen und Fressfeinde verscheuchen können. Bei "meinen" am Waldrand gibt es neben den Pärchen mit Revier auch eine große Schar an Junggesellen. (Variiert so zwischen 30 und 60 Stück schätze ich). Ich habe gedacht, dass sie auch so massiv vertrieben werden, weil sie nicht nur Futterkonkurrenz sind, sondern vielleicht auch an die Eier oder an die Babies rangehen würden? Ich habe in der Vergangenheit mal ein Video gesehen, wo ein Eulenkind vom Vorjahr die neu geschlüpften Küken seiner Mutter alle getötet hat. Ich weiß nicht, ob Krähen das bei ihren neuen Geschwistern tun würden evtl. auch aus Eifersucht?
Ich weiß nicht ob Jungkrähen eine direkte Gefahr für die Eier bedeuten. Konkurenz/Eifersucht sind aber sicher ein großes Thema.
Das hast du sehr behutsam erklärt. Mir tut das immer weh wenn ein Junior so behandelt und weggejagd wird. Aber mir ist das jetzt durch deine Beispiele einleuchtender erklärt. Danke schön
Ich danke dir, das freut mich!
