▲ 24 r/crows

A crow started following me on my way to work

Today on my way to work (4-5 minutes from the train station) a single crow suddenly landed right in front of me a few meters ahead. It seems to be the same crow that generally wanders around this general spot in the grass (beak looks the same). 2-3 times a week I usually buy a sandwich or a filled crosssant (with salmon, eggs and onion) and eat it on the way. My guess is that he's interested in that. Anyway every time it landed in front of me I ripped tiny bit off my croissant and threw it in his direction and he instantly hopped towards it to eat it! At one spot I also gave him an egg slice and he followed me roughly all the (short) way to work!

I know that you rather want to be friends with crows than enemies and they are able to remember individual persons. What's your opinion on this? Is it likely to meet him again after work or in the morning? My work time is rather inconsistent (sometimes starting work at 8am, sometimes at 10am) so I guess that's not a reliable outcome (unless I fix that). To be fair there's a massive murder of crows having nests right next to the train station. You can imagine the mess they leave behind on the bikes and cars parked below the trees. But I have fun observing them. But I thought that the time to befriend a crow would be much muuuuuch longer. I only started work there last month (working on my master thesis so I'm not enirely sure if they'll even hire me once I'm done).
