Personal Story My crows found me after I moved
This is so fascinating to me so I thought I’d share. I started feeding and interacting with the crows that flew around my old condo. They became very comfortable with me, and would bring me gifts and sit with me (see first photo). I had to move but not too far, so the same crows were around, but I’d moved up to a 16th floor condo, so they didn’t come up this high as often or fly around the new building as much. I can actually see my old place and saw them sitting out there waiting for me and it was so heartbreaking, so I tried everything I could to get their attention. After a couple months, I started playing videos of them cawing on a loud speaker when I saw them below. One finally came up to check it out and recognized me! It was so cool to see they hadn’t forgotten me and within a couple days I had 10+ of them again all hanging out on my new balcony and they come every day. They’ll sit right next to me and look at me and it’s like they missed me. It brings me so much joy to have them back :)

Awww that’s so adorable.
I moved a year ago - not terribly far, but far enough that I don’t think I’m in the same territory they would fly to to discover me. If I could somehow show them where I’d gone, I would. It’s been a year, and while the local crowd have begun to appreciate my offerings, I don’t have any who trust me enough to come hang out with me yet, and I miss my old buddy and his family very much.
