Serious Question! I live about 10 minutes outside of town, and I want to befriend my local crows. However, I'm not sure how to go about it because any attempt to feed them would just open the buffet to our a*hole blue jay cousins and bully squirrels. So how do I feed my future friends but not the neighborhood riffraff?

Hey there, crow bros!
Saw this story on my clinic's page and thought some of you might be interested in seeing some new and experimental physical therapy they had success with on this adorable fish crow!
The Patient of the Week this week is patient 25-4115, a fish crow! This crow was brought in due to head trauma, though we were unable to determine what caused the trauma. We are very excited to share this crow's story because our clinic team was able to use some new techniques to help him. When he arrived, he was unable to stand. Through a combination of hydrotherapy, a harness to give him time upright on his legs, and supportive care with pain management we were able to help him. After 2 weeks of intensive care and physical therapy he was able to walk again on his own!
Hydrotherapy is something we at Aark have used in the past with success (and doesn't he look cute in the bath?), but the harness was a new approach we adapted from seeing it used at other facilities. This crow showed great improvement from these techniques. We are hopeful for a full recovery for this crow and to have him back in the wild soon.
let’s make crows as popular as superbowls
i do, let’s get this community running again!
