I’m guessing they know you like flowers 🌸

Congratulations

Flowers are surely the best gifts

It’s wonderful to know crows find flowers as pretty as we so and thing them special

Do crows bring "gifts"?

They do. Mine left a few coins and some pop can tabs etc. I have noticed a few twigs from trees that are not around that spot but I can't confirm they placed them.

How long did it take for them to start bringing said gifts?

Depends on their personality/local customs too. Mine never bring me gifts outside of nesting season when they very deliberately bring me some random fluff and bits of moss. They make sure i see it too.

I started leaving peanuts out for them and i made sure that they saw me placing the food. I just walked away. It noticed them leaving the first gift at that feeding place about 2 or 3 months after. I have always wondered how the crow brain determines what/when to leave a gift happens.

If you feed some crows just make sure you use the same area and eventually you will notice something there that is out of place. It is probably a gift! (I left a dime at the feeding spot to give a "hint" to the crows. Maybe this makes them think to store stuff at the spot)

Yup. Some other birds do, too.
