Yes! I was actually aiming for the magpie whose chittering I heard around the area (technically a corvid as well), so this rook coming around was a nice surprise. I'm looking forward to see if it'll turn up again š
I donāt want to dissuade you from cawing, especially if you enjoy it, but you donāt NEED to caw to make friends with a crow, just make an identifiable noise when you offer them treats to associate with you
Despite my previous commentā¦ Iām not actually an expert šbut that is my understanding - a distinctive whistle should work ! Youād want something thatās easy for you to do to repeatedly, on command when you see your crow buddies

Ah are you trying to make a crow friend? Iāve seen videos of them feeling comfortable enough to eat out of peopleās hands. So cool

I've been noticing a crow hanging out in my yard recently. I tried to offer shinies. I've cawed at him. I'll try peanuts.
My dogs probably keep him from getting comfortable.

Your so kind; I was just being goofy. Though, if did work and I got a caw back, it would made my day. Probably my month at least.
But this is cool! Gotta pick my noise! I'm about to shoot some hoops without the dogs out there.
E: a distinctive whistle, yeah?

Aw man I was already debating whether unilemmy was an insult or compliment.
I'm any case, if I infact succeed I will post
