Just found this subreddit and it made me remember something that happened to me like 4 years ago.

I was a zookeeper, a bird keeper to be exact. My friend and I went to a buccees for fun (he is obsessed with buccees). On the way out, there was a bunch of chaos in the entryway, people were screaming and trying to shoo away a juvenile (I think) crow.

It was obvious the little guy hit the window pretty hard trying to get out and was a little dazed and confused. Trying over and over again to get away from the people and get out. Open mouth breathing. When I realized what was going on, I ran inside and grabbed a random shirt, and told people to back off. I tossed the shirt on him, scooped him up and escorted him outside. I checked to make sure he wasn’t broken and let him chill out in the shirt for a bit before letting him go.

To this day, whenever I go there, I think about the little guy and hope he told his friends I was a good one. Anyway, here’s a post rescue picture. I took it right before letting him go.

I love corvids and rooks have a special place in my heart. They are the incredibly loyal and magnificent. Yesterday I write a post that I don't usually do.

Normally I try to write about how amazing corvids are and show their beauty and charm. But I came across a nightmarish post from Facebook about a psychopath showing pictures of all the animals that he has murdered whilst "protecting farmers and songbirds ".

So many murdered rooks. The horror and pain and fear that they all must have felt, seeing their family and friends getting slaughtered and then being murdered. Since the psychopath was so proud of himself I decided to share it here.

To my surprise someone decided that I was the problem, that I was doxxing him and they reported me and I ended up with a warning. If you protect a man that finds joy in murdering corvids and then making fun of it. You are not a corvid friend, there is something wrong with you as well.

How can we enjoy our interactions with them and then close our eyes when they get mistreated and worse? It doesn't make sense to me. If you love them, you fight against those that hurt them and you support those that help them.

It is hard to deal with how unfair this world is. How very unclear rules are abused by horrible people to do as much damage as possible. It is hard when you feel helpless, but shouldn't all of us that love corvids be able to do more to support and protect them?

Please when you get the chance, support petitions to protect corvids, sign them. Support people that are protecting wildlife. If you have a little extra, donate to corvid rescues. Educate people about them. Don't let the ignorant and hateful people spread their horror and lies online unchallenged. Support the people that are fighting for them. 🖤

I’ve been spending time with my new friend n he will hang out n let me watch him

Obviously used as a term of endearment. These lovely crows are a hybrid between carrion and hooded crows. On the first couple of pictures you can see my dear boy Mr. Pantsu and his evil twin Scruffy Pantsu. The rest are, unfortunately, still nameless but I'm open to suggestions. Additionally you can see a lovely hybrid girl (significantly smaller) with leucism, who has the most gorgeous white speckled wings when she flies. They're all gorgeous!

A couple months ago when I was walking around in my city, I saw a bunch of crows, they were all raising the alarm because a hawk was also flying around, and they were hanging out in trees near this large parking lot. I bought them some trail mix from a vending machine. They seemed satisfied. I recently saw the post about avoiding salt, so I'll try to bring something more suitable next time I'm around there just in case I see them again.

They are so pretty up close. This video was with my phone but I hope I encounter them with a better camera on me.

I don't see rooks too often, usually there's more jackdaws around. I love rooks.

He got there in the end after a few struggles 👏

I posted previously an awesome video of my bros attacking a hawk flying over us in our daily walk.

Today the leader (Rowdy) snagged this small snake from where we were about to walk. Protection or breakfast? You decide. It was super cool either way :)

Not yet hand feeding but getting closer
