I've had people tell me ravens don't hang around in our area, but I know what I was feeding freezer burned/expired steak to on our apt balcony. I'd slice up any steak that was past feeding my DD, line the top rail of our balcony, & just wait for the ravens & crows to come take the strips away. Crows tried so hard to copy their big brothers, but they could only carry 1 strip at a time when the ravens could snag 3. The ravens simply took off & disappeared up into the huge cedars bordering our complex.
One crow was stubborn though. He tried twice to snag 3 strips and only managed to "fall with style" off the rail into the grass 3 stories below where he had to leave his loot. Then he had to watch for cats while he made extra trips to take them all away.
He never made that mistake again.
I feed the crows in the parking lots where I pick up groceries - yeah, I'm that woman - and now they recognize my Jeep when I pull in. Coming out with groceries I'll see people watching the crows perched on my cargo rack & strolling around my tires waiting for me.
