I was ahead of schedule on my way in to work, so I stopped to get breakfast at a Wawa (a popular chain of large convenience stores/gas stations on the US east coast).

As I was coming out, a small crow wheeled right over my head and perched on the corner of the awning in front of the store. He puffed his feathers and shook out his wings and regarded me with one bright black eye. I know a messenger when I see one, so I minded my manners…and ignored the odd looks from the people around me.

Me: Good morning.

Crow: -polite caw-

Me: -taking a piece of donut from my bag- Would you like some breakfast?

Crow: -tips his head the other way and flaps a few times-

Me: Here you go. -tosses the piece onto the ground just below the awning-

Crow: -hesitates, looking between me and the bit of pastry-

Me: It’s all right, it’s for you. -takes a step back for good measure- Go ahead.

Crow: GRAWK! -glides down from the awning, pecks up the snack, and wheels once over my car before flying off-

Me: Give my regards to your mistress, fella.

Lady in the next parking space: …..What kinda Halloweentown shit was that?

Me: -big smile- Any witch worth their salt knows you should always be polite to crows. -hops into car and goes on to work-

I always say good morning to the crows outside of work. They always answer me back and rarely fly away no matter how closely I have to walk past them. (Usually if they do it’s because someone else who doesn’t greet them is coming up behind me).

Be polite to crows – they remember.

Re: How to befriend crows – Also, bring snacks.

When I go to town I always speak and say hello to the crows in the parking lots. (I ignore the humans who usually give me weird looks.)

Most of the time they just watch me walk past with curious eyes, though I rarely ever have snacks unfortunately.
Thought the family of them around my home that eat my birdseed will usually talk back when I speak to them. XD
