So the other day I walked outside and heard the crows that are usually on my property squawking like crazy, then I seen one crow chasing off a hawk from the property. Me trying to win them over, I poured some unsalted peanuts on the driveway and whistled at them to get their attention once everything calmed down. The next day the peanuts were gone but I haven't seen them trying to get closer or even intrigued when I step out of the house and try to whistle at them while they're in the trees. I've seen them swoop down and eat the peanuts then fly away, I'm just curious if I need to be doing something different to befriend them. I'm super new to trying to befriend the crows so any tips will help!

So I found an injured crow on my lunch break today. He seemed to have a broken leg and was trying to push himself towards me so I scooped him up (carefully) and put him in a banana box with a towel in the bottom. He seems very lethargic and I’m not sure he’s going to make it thru the night. I can’t see any visible injuries and don’t want to stress him out so I’m just leaving him in a dark room for now. Unfortunately I’m having trouble locating a rescue organization. I’m in the NY Fingerlakes region and was wondering if anyone knew anyone local as I don’t drive. Thanks in advance and wish me luck!
