We have befriended a crow with a twisted foot
I came home from work one day and I saw a crow with a twisted foot, poor guy was hopping on one foot the whole time. I started feeding him chunks of cheese, any scraps I had, and I’m quite happy to say that I think I have made a friend:)
I have a few questions:
-is there anything I can do for this crow? Or is it just one of those situations where I have to let nature take its course?
-how can I tell if its male or female?? I noticed it hanging out with 4 other crows but I noticed my crow friend is more bigger, like his head is more puffy in comparison to the others.
-this morning when I fed him, he was only hanging out with one other crow but I wanted to see if he would take the food while I was still close by. I sat and waited but I noticed a few things:
- he was sitting on the power line very quietly, checking things out while his other buddy was quite literally yelling his face off
- when he flew down to grab the food, I noticed the first thing he did was fly up to his buddy and shove the food down its throat lmaooo so maybe a mom crow instead???
-is cheese a good food? I seem to gravitate towards giving them that as it’s easy to grab and in my head a good snack?? I mean they literally eat garbage out of dumpster so I assume it’s fine
