Jak, that is awesome. Thanks for posting.

As a kid my best friend and I had a pet crow that would follow us wherever we went on our bicycles.

I had a crow that used to come to my school at recess and find me out of about 300 kids. Keeping a crow is now considered illegal in our province now.

Why is it that stupid laws like this get made up? Crows make really good pets. The law should protect animals... so shooting them as pests and vermin is fine.. but rescuing and keeping on as a much loved pet is a crime???????
 
No... I guess it coudl be 2 ways.

1. He hand reared them so they think he is their parent and leader of the flock.

2. He trained to follow him for food rewards... like people train racing homers to come back to the coop on call.... or people that use a portable kit box... the birds are trained to go into the box for food on call.... and the owner can take the box and birds anywhere and do this.... ie, they don't home back to the coop... only to the box.

If you take note he has what looks like an octagon shaped carrier box held in place with bungee cords on the back of his motor bike that could serve as kit box or feeding station or some sort of motivation to stay in contact with. You notice one bird actually flies to the open box in the clip.
I am guessing the carrier holds the secret. When loading my homers for a toss I bring in my carries that I scatter with shelled unsalted peanuts. A few of my older homers fly into the box before I can actually load in the peanuts. It would "NOT" work for my to date homers as as soon as the carriers are open they head home. On further watching the clip I could be wrong because the birds fly directly to the handler not the carrier.
