It’s working!

Alright, so about a week ago I decided I wanted to make friends with the crows that are around on base.

At some point every day for the past week, I’ve been going out- first with bread, then with whole peanuts- and tossed out some nearby any crows I could find. My base is big, so I’m typically in my car to do this.

I’ve found them around most often at dawn or dusk. The same ritual. Find them, pull up, whistle a tune or make a certain noise, toss some food and go.

So anyway this morning I’m stopping by the minimart for a nice healthy breakfast- Monster Ultra- and I come out to find three new friends huddled around my car.

I know it’s no coincidence because I’ve lived on this base over three years and never seen them come close to people, plus they’re smart so I have no doubt they’re catching on already.

I whistled my tune, tossed a couple big handfuls of peanuts and left. I’m psyched.
