How long does it take for them to start taking walnuts from you?

I’ve always wanted some crow friends.

Kinda depends on the crowd tbh. If they’re used to being fed and they see you eating they might come over and request - s n a k - or at least loiter around when you’re gone. I started feeding this lot about 3 years ago during the lockdown when the park was very busy. They weren’t used to being fed so it took a few months for them to know who I was, and to ratify my track record of not eating anyone. Once they get to know you, other local crows tend to be more trusting. I think they discuss it with one another. Also you get to hear lots of cool ‘woo’ sounds if you feed them in winter and the whole flock turns up.

Thanks for the tips. I will see if I can get some local ones to recognise I’m not a threat before trying to get them to eat from me.

Go out with some peanuts and give them a big handful - I think you’ll have them pestering you for lunch in no time :^)

27 degrees Celsius is called summer in most places of the world.
