We have a decent number of crows and ravens around, including at least two pairs that are “neighborhood” crows.
I don’t really have a focused plan to recruit a personal air force of corvid minions, but I do recognize that they’re smart, they recognize and remember people, and they like food.
Once or twice a week I’ll drop a handful of grapes out on the turf. (Doesn’t it look nice now that we got a gardener to clean up the weeds?) It might take a day or two but they’ll vanish. And when we first moved in the crows always sat on the roof of the neighbors across the street – now I see them more often on our roof or on the house next to us but on the side overlooking our driveway and yard.
I’m an Odin in training! As are they!
