Even after years of friendship, a crow will be skittish and standoffish (but admiring from afar), and it's better this way. Your goal shouldn't be to tame them or take them as pets, which is illegal in most states anyway, not to mention ethically dubious. (Please describe your neighborhood crow family in the comments!) So a group of three or more is what a "normal" family looks like, and I've also heard stories of multiple generations sharing one turf. Some of the previous years' hatchlings hang around for several years before they move away to mate and make a new territory. A mated pair usually builds a nest and lays an egg or two every year. Since crows have territories, take some time to try to get to know how big your local crow family is. You may see them eat it on the spot or they might choose carefully and fly off to cache it for later. Stay at a respectful distance to watch them eat. Don't just throw the food out there and walk away.

This may require some trial and error, as crows can be surprisingly finicky-or at least my urban ones are. Find food that the crows seem to like.

How to Make Friends With a Crow: Step-by-Step So anyway, we're neighbors, and feeding is the neighborly thing to do. They've watched people come and go for years, people who may have watched them right back. In other words, crows have lived here for as long as humans have. I'm relatively new here, but since crows pass their territories on to their offspring, the crows in my neighborhood may have descended from birds who lived here more than 100 years ago.

I moved to this neighborhood in a small city 20 years ago. Certainly, after all this time together, humans' and crows' lives and histories have become closely intertwined.
