Poe perched and patiently waiting for his snacks.

He sits atop the chimney across the street every day to let me know he's there. When he sees me getting things ready (opening my window and putting out the special platform I have for him) he leaves the chimney and comes to wait on this pole right outside the house.

He's still ridiculously cautious, though. And ungrateful. And messy. I guess I have a teenager.

Not greedy at all.
It's so cold out, I say, take as many as you can, dear one!

I adore these crows.
In exchange for peanuts they once brought me an unknown animal rib and dropped it on my doorstop.

I wish I could provide the crows with a warmer place but crows need to keep moving to stay fed and warm.

I'm grateful they stop by to see me, or rather, know I'll provide them with food so it's best to keep me on one of their pitstops.

"Ding dong---er, caw!, caw!"
"Bring us more food," they say.

Dutifully, I provided peanuts and warm homemade bread to the neighborhood crow family.

One crow standing proudly but cautiously strolling along the cement path contemplating the bread and peanuts. Its dark black feathers shine brightly in the sunshine.

I deliberately wait until the crows are hanging around to take out the compost so that Topaz can be entertained for a bit.

Two crows, one on the ground and one perched on the top of the fence of a fenced-in compost heap. It's snowing hard enough to get caught as white streaks against the gray-brown tree trunks behind the compost pile.

finished this lil' cutie a while ago and gave it to a lovely someone :blobcatlove:

I really like how it turned out! Cute but not too cute, cuddly with no metal wire or such, but still able to kinda stand up

crochet hooded crow being held by someone offscreen, sitting on an opened book, facing the camera. Some additional black details in the grey feathers are visible. The wing sits on top of the rest of the body and peeks out a bit at the end. The brown of the eyes more visible, almost giving it an expressive look

Did not think I was going to get this.
Blaming the crows (not really... sort of) staring intensely at me through the window. They've already had their peanuts for today, but they're very convincing. :ms_crow:
Good thing I was trained by having a cat for 11 years in building up resistance to hungry eyes after breakfast.
Which is hard, because I believe firmly in second breakfast.

Wind! Geez.

Peanuts delivered. 5 crows on the scene. Waiting. Very vocal.

It's nose numbing in 5 minutes weather. Brrrr!

Have a mentioned how much I love crows?

In the kitchen getting the dough ready for first rise. There's snow thumping against the window. ??? It has stopped snowing, the sky is clearing.
I peek out the window.
Somehow, the neighbourhood crows are knocking snow off the roof onto the window. Much flapping.
When I appear, they go back to the tree and stare at me. 3 are within sight.

I didn’t know was a thing but it does explain all the beautiful crow pictures that inspired this piece.
