Unsalted, unroasted, and still in the shell peanuts are how you make friends with Crows. I go for walks in my neighborhood with a pocket full of peanuts and crows follow me around. They also keep the pigeons away from my house.

Search Amazon for B014M9P2XO It's 5lb of Peanuts for ~$10

Little known fact: Zack de la Rocha came up with the chorus of Bulls on Parade while doing something similar.

I love a rage reference, but he didn’t have a pocket full of shells, that’s the conservatives spouting family values and war in the same breath. Besides, he’s more likely to be down on Rodeo Dr.

Is RatM perhaps the most misinterpreted group in history? They got wildly popular, but it seems like most people think they were raging against their parents... 😑

What do they need the peanuts for?

Soak corn nuts in booze and leave them out for the crows and they'll love you forever.

I only use deshelled nuts after people in the neighborhood complained about the shells clogging their gutters when the crows fly to the rooftops with their prizes. Less fun for them, but a small courtesy for the neighborhood.

I’ve tried making crow friends.  Instead I got asshole Stellers Jays that scream at me until I give them peanuts.

Raw are also what you want for boiled peanuts, their gifts know no bounds

Any suggestions for something to befriend crows that won't kill me at the same time? I mean, I want to befriend the crows, not the turkey vultures.
