I've been feeding roasted (and unsalted) peanuts to my local crows for three years now. Those ungrateful bastards haven't given me shit in return. One time I thought they had given me some little seeds and berries, but I realized they had just puked those up to make room for the peanuts.

Are legumes okay for crows? I know they are omnivores (really interesting to see their bigger cousins, the ravens, pick off ducklings). Especially peanuts that become kinda weird when you chew them. Crows have gizzards, right?

I'm no crow expert. I know they eat peanuts and I know they eat roadkill squirrel. That's the end of my knowledge.

Do you have a designated table you put the peanuts on?

I knew a guy years ago who managed to start trading with the crows in our neighborhood by having a table with two sections, one with bird snackies, the other empty (I think he may have put some foil there at one point?) so they'd have a place to put their payment.

The always got little plastic things, bits of mylar, twistie ties and what not.

Lol I get enough abuse from my neighbors for feeding the crows as it is. If I put out a crow table they're going to sic ICE on me.

Start messing with the crows while dressed as ICE, then when they do show up the crows will know what to do.

ungrateful bastards

You know maybe if you have them better nuts than peanut they'd be more appreciative. Also cold hard cash.
