Seattle Man Has Been Feeding A Crow Family For Years, Has "Mind Blown" After They Bring Him Presents
Stuart Dahlquist, 56, has been a bird enthusiast for most of his life, but a family of crows has still found a way to surprise him. Recently, the Seattle man received a gift from the fellas he’s been feeding for a couple of years and if that wasn’t enough, they brought him another one the very next day.
“Crows are amazing creatures and I’ve always felt this way since I was a boy,” Stuart told Bored Panda. “Birds – all kinds – have been a real focal part of my life; I love watching them, listening to their calls, identifying them… Oh! And helping them if they need help. I’m not a real ‘birder’ with high powered binoculars or anything like that but they play an outsized role in my enjoyment of life.”
He has been feeding this particular crow family for about 4 years. “They nest in a large douglas fir tree that’s in our front yard and we could hear the babies when the parents would feed them,” he said. “One day I found both babies had fallen to the ground, almost able to fly but not quite. We got them into a tree and the parents – pretty angry with us actually – took it from there and the little ones survived. We began feeding them soon after.”
There were four of them, but sadly, just before these gifts showed up, the adult female was killed by a raccoon.
Stuart said he can easily tell when they’re hungry. “Sometimes when I’m walking they’ll fly with me, landing on the wires and branches above as I amble along. When we get home they like to land on the fence and wait to be fed. Other times they simply “Caw! Caw!” at us… It’s pretty obvious when they want food.” He gives them high-quality dry cat food with very little filler. “Crows aren’t as keen on corn as people seem to think.”

The Judge... our pet crow!
This is our pet crow "The Judge' taking a bath in the tub. We've had him for seven or eight years now, sometimes he lives in the house, sometimes outdoors in a huge cage. He can fly but usually prefers to walk around the house... once he did take off and he flew around for a few minutes then landed right at my feet. I think the baths are his favorite part of the day but he also enjoys having his head scratched right behind his ears. The Judge!
= new reply since forum marked as read
I was amazed at all the crow stories I'm reading and it sounds like your Robin is especially smart, too - and they really can remember! 
Just the stories on this thread are pretty impressive!
