I have about four crows that I feed daily. I absolutely adore them. They put an instant smile on my face when they show up in the morning to eat. The main thing I put in the food trays is unsalted peanuts. Every now and then I like to add a little something extra. I’ve done unsalted cashews which are kinda expensive, raw cut up stew meat, and boiled eggs. They like the cashews, however that gets a little expensive, they will only eat the yolk of the boiled eggs, and this last time they barely touched the stew meat. What is a good treat to add here and there with the peanuts?
You can scramble the egg and they likely will eat it all. Many folks have great success with that. Any meat that’s not seasoned is apt be a hit. Plus dog or cat kibble often is well received. Some crows like the occasional bits of fruit.
Exactly! I have had great experience with all of this for my murder. I appreciate all crowbros who bring the tasty noms to our friends.
Suet cut up into smaller chunks. I put it out in the morning even if it's freezing they will usually come early and eat it before it freezes solid, if not I just put the frozen chunks back in the tray and bring inside to thaw.
Also dog food I leave for opossums, skunks and foxes. If they don't come overnight the crows will eat it in the morning.
I don't give them peanuts directly but the blue jays have a peanut feeder they drop a lot from and the crows will pick up whatever they drop, then soak it in the bird bath.
We get unsalted cashews at Poundland (like a dollar store). And we absolutely love watching and feeding the birds, too!
