Mini #CrowUpdate (no pics). Hmm... When I leave peanuts on the balcony a bit too close to sunset, usually Ms Crow comes to double-check that I left some, but doesn't come eat them before dawn. This morning they were left uneaten. Before work, I gave some peanuts to Mr Crow who was hanging out in the park with one kid. She didn't magically show up to get her share. (second kid could be in a tree). I spotted an eagle in the sky and she didn't chase it. Where is Ms Crow?
Mini #CrowUpdate (no pics, sorry) when I got home tonight, Mr and Ms Crow were there and begged for peanuts. Junior 1 and 2 were around. No sign of "poor little crow," though, which is not a good sign.
(the neighbor that has been feeding the crows, showed up when I was in the park and made a U-turn, only to return as I was leaving - it's okay lady, I know what you're doing, and you probably know what I'm doing, maybe we should actually team up?)
#CrowUpdate This morning, the fledgling that's always on the ground was... on the ground. I'm starting to worry about it. It seems healthy, but its parents don't seem to care much about it. Does it need just more time to develop (but I'd assume mom and dad would watch carefully) or... I have a sadder theory...

#CrowUpdate I got to spend quite some time in the park this evening. The kids were being adventurous, mostly practicing their flying skills from one tree to the other. When I gave peanuts to dad, one followed him to see what was going on. It was quite fun. And I need them to see me giving treats to their parents so that they feel more comfortable around me.

#CrowUpdate (make sure to follow the thread, it's a big one) (no big thing happened, just a bunch of small ones, but all in the span of an hour or so)
It started with me returning from work and seeing this from my car!
First, I noticed a crow flying (it's one of the crows-by-the-sea) then a black kite on a pole. Then the crow landed right next to the kite, maybe 10-20 cm from it, both within reach of the other's beak.

Late afternoon #CrowUpdate Just saw the three fledglings on top of trees and cables at the same time. They can all sort of fly, even the one that was constantly on the ground.
I haven't seen dad all day though (but I was away large chunks of the day)
Mini #CrowUpdate I just saw one kid on the neighbor's roof. In a couple of days, they'll be flying everywhere.
#CrowUpdate As I mentioned earlier I was not really sure of the fledgling situation. Well, now I am. I could only see one since Thursday because only one is on the ground. The two others can sort of fly already and are hiding in the trees. I spotted them finally. Now, I'm wondering if the one on the ground is fine. It seems healthy, but it'd better learn how to fly soon.
