It's bold of Anon to assume that the crows are not earning the money legitimately.

That's racist.

That's just one distribution method of the mint. They find dollars go through more hands on average if they are given to crows by this man's lake. He should not feel guilty for stimulating my economy.

Give them bird seed instead

[-] djsoren19 167 points 2 days ago

if you happen to find yourself in a similar situation where you're the sugar daddy for a murder of crows, get them some nice peanuts and sunflower seeds instead! bread isn't good for birds!

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Seed me daddy! I don't want bread.

OwO

[-] argarath@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Bird furries tend to use OvO instead because the v looks like a beak owo

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago

You don't want to be bread?

Oh well...

[-] PyroNeurosis 24 points 2 days ago

Ehh. You're more of a fence than a sugar daddy. You move stolen loot for a cut.

Also, one assumes you're not fucking them.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago

Bold to assume

$20 for bread crumbs?! These crows must be living in the USA.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 11 points 1 day ago

😂 the allegory

[-] Broadfern@lemmy.world 184 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They have the money but probably aren’t allowed in the stores to buy it themselves.

It’s either

1.) Facilitating the financial self-sufficiency of local avian wildlife or

2.) The bird equivalent of buying alcohol for your kid cousins who are standing outside the liquor store.

[-] Denjin@feddit.uk 45 points 2 days ago

Both of which are rad

I've been feeding roasted (and unsalted) peanuts to my local crows for three years now. Those ungrateful bastards haven't given me shit in return. One time I thought they had given me some little seeds and berries, but I realized they had just puked those up to make room for the peanuts.

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Are legumes okay for crows? I know they are omnivores (really interesting to see their bigger cousins, the ravens, pick off ducklings). Especially peanuts that become kinda weird when you chew them. Crows have gizzards, right?

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I'm no crow expert. I know they eat peanuts and I know they eat roadkill squirrel. That's the end of my knowledge.

[-] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 day ago

Do you have a designated table you put the peanuts on?

I knew a guy years ago who managed to start trading with the crows in our neighborhood by having a table with two sections, one with bird snackies, the other empty (I think he may have put some foil there at one point?) so they'd have a place to put their payment.

The always got little plastic things, bits of mylar, twistie ties and what not.

Do you have a designated table you put the peanuts on?

Lol I get enough abuse from my neighbors for feeding the crows as it is. If I put out a crow table they're going to sic ICE on me.

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Start messing with the crows while dressed as ICE, then when they do show up the crows will know what to do.

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There she is now officer! The crow lady!!

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

ungrateful bastards

You know maybe if you have them better nuts than peanut they'd be more appreciative. Also cold hard cash.

What kind of nuts should I give them? Deez?

The photo is of a raven, not a crow. That said, exchanges of this sort with corvids has always been a bucket list item of mine.

[-] Juice@midwest.social 67 points 2 days ago

What is the difference between a raven and a crow? One major difference is that ravens have 3 pinion feathers on each wing, whereas crows only have two.

So its really just a difference of a pinion

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago

Goddamnit. Sitting here ready to subscribe to crow facts and you got me with a freakin pinion joke.

Well done.

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Apparently, ravens are so huge that if you see one you will not be in doubt that it can't be a crow. At least that's what I've been told.

[-] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

Raven at the Tower of London. They are big, with massive beaks.

TBF even crows are a lot bigger than what I always thought crows were. I've seen them up close since I've been feeding my local murder peanuts, and these guys are the size of roaster chickens.

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

The guy that told me this lives close by, and we have plenty of crows here. His way of saying it made it clear that the "chicken-sized" crows we have around here are small compared to a raven.

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

This is how it was explained to me by a very elderly, birdwatching family member... If you ever go "whoa, that's a really big crow," you're probably wrong

True in Europe and the US, but not everywhere. Corvids are a hugely successful animal class, and there are related species all over the world locally called crows and ravens. Some places the local species called ravens are bigger. Other places the local species called crows are bigger.

I kinda wish all the stray/feral cats I've befriended would start coughing up some cash once in awhile instead of dead mice and hairballs for me.

What about Ezekiel bread? (Made from legumes, not grains)

[-] LOLseas@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 days ago

Yesh. Ezekiel bread is okay. Good catch.

Buy them some unsalted peanuts or walnuts. They will worship you as the god you are.
