| | | Feeding the Crows. In the past last year, I've feeding the Crows along the cycle-path near to the A19. If I have any left-over bread or pies etc, I take it for them instead of the bin.
Today, I had to start work early, due to a shutdown being christmas, So I had about 3 bread rolls left over and my friendly Crows were on the fence looking for a good feed. It's funny, that there only come down, when I start off cycling again. But I love how there just gracefully swoop down from the high rise A19 road lamps.
Crafty things, them Crows. Even when I whistle a tune, they know, but only when I have bread for them. probably next week, there may get a piece of my home-made Xmas cake, now's that's a real treat for them.
If only there knew it was Xmas cake |

| | | Re: Feeding the Crows. Yes, there too. I work at a well-known supermarket and there is always plenty of food abundant about the car-park, even the local foxes are there. Well, somebody has to keep the car-park clear of any rats. |

| | | Re: Feeding the Crows. The two legged rats did strip the shelves of basic produce, I mean we are only closed for 2 days. I've seen some shoppers with two trolleys full to the brim, some were spending £500. |
