The #crows are still interacting. The day I taught them I had peanuts and was willing to share, was a situation where one of them was collecting sticks off our dead tree for their nest, so it associated me coming out the door with breaking sticks off the tree.

Now, one stands in the tree, faces the house, squawks, and pulls a branch off and then drops it on the ground. I come out, send two peanuts sailing into the driveway with my pitching arm (the driveway is about how long my pitching arm can reach), and then I go back in the house and let them eat.

What surprises me is that they only ask me a couple times a day. If I had a human I could summon for an instant slice of pizza, I’d be pressing that button more than once or twice a day.
