Every time I go to refil the water, clean the dishes and give food, I find a feather. ๐Ÿ˜ I think that I'm getting presents from them.

Recently I made a grave mistake trying to help a chick which its parents misinterpreted and now I'm trying to fix the problem by pampering crows in my neighborhood so they can give a good word about me to the insulted parents.

I left the insulted ones fruits and walnuts and water, but I think they didn't see me, so I'll have to repeat a process because I really want to be in good terms with those birds. I hope they will forgive me. I was so stupid for trying to help. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Since afaik crows both teach their flock who's good and who's bad and are social animals, I'd imagine good deeds would even reverberate indirectly to the offended ones.

Also if a crow's feather appears every now and then, I'd imagine it's hitting the target audience, at worse indirectly as said above. =)

I hope so. My crows here in my hood attacked me the day after the incident, while I was giving them water. Nothing scary, they just yelled me a lot. They don't yell at me anymore, in fact, two days ago, they were following me and had more friendly sound, like they were greeting me. ๐Ÿ˜ So I hope they told to the insulted parents that I'm ok. And I hope with all my heart little one is ok. For him and for me. If he got hurt, I'm fucked.

They are really fascinating animals. ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ
