Rehabilitated crows should NOT be friendly if they are raised correctly and should not be released if they are not afraid of people..for obvious reasons. That being said, it is not uncommon for wellmeaning but uninformed members of the general public to raise what they feel are orphaned crows (they often aren't) and then just"release" them when they become bothersome. These birds will live a very short life in most circumstances. My guess is this was either a juvenile or a crow raised by someone unfamiliar with rehabilitation techniques that would enable a bird to be releaseable. Helene On 2011-06-13 3:51 PM, "James W.

Dave was able to walk home, get his camera, and slowly approach this crow until *he got so close* that the crow pecked at his lens and at his camera bag! After a bit of this, the crow moved a bit along the trail and rocks and then flew away pretty healthily to land with a bunch of other crows on the dykelands. I asked Dave if this looked like a young crow, and he said no. I couldn't offer any insights about this, but someone else wondered if it could have been raised in captivity or even rehabilitated in a previous year? ---------------------- Cheers from Jim in Wolfville Jim (James W.)
