Last summer I fed crows oatcakes in our backyard...until they started fighting over the oatcakes. One of them had a bunch of his feathers pulled out. This summer, I was afraid to feed them because I didn't want the fighting to start again. A crow put on a little play in my front yard, however, and I was like OK, fine! First he got my attention, which was unusual because I always interact with them in the backyard. Then he flew over to the garbage cans (it was garbage day and they were out for pick up) and he found a cracker, which he brought over to show me. "This is what I want," he seemed to indicate. Then he went to the backyard to see if I understood. Which I did, so I went and threw him oatcakes in the backyard. This summer, I have avoided fighting by dividing the oatcakes into small pieces so everybody can have some.
