the crows' tree.

we have LOADS of crows.
the neighbours feed them bread and they will go into this tree to eat it. they drop bits of bread and the chickens run like mad to get it before the crows can get it back.

the crows were like my gateway birds.
then 2 little bantams turned up in my garden and they stole my attention.

my first picture is for the crows. i appreciate them.

What beautiful birds and a lovely picture! I have heard that crows keep hawks away. Have you all noticed this?

Also, they are such social, intelligent birds. I’ve read about some who leave little random scavenged objects for their human friends who feed them. So amazing!

nope. she took that crow beside her's bread. the crows are afraid of the chickens the chickens aren't afraid of the crows

thank you!
yes! the crows keep the hawks away, but when the swallows are around, they let them do the job. it's funny to me that the crows are afraid of the chickens but not the hawks!

they have left me gifts! maybe that's what tomorrow's picture will be!

You are right about that! I didn't notice that until you said.

they are rooks. everybody here calls them crows.
we have a lot of jackdaws, magpies, and hooded crows too.

editing to add... i only know they're rooks because i looked them up. i would have gone on thinking crows forever. sorry for the confusion.
