i am still amused that despite being face blind, i have a pretty easy time identifying crows
as i& #39;ve gotten popular with the flock, it& #39;s getting harder to spot them amongst the rest
this crow always came a little closer than the others, but that isn& #39;t as true as it used to be

i didn& #39;t realise it, but turns out this was one of the first crows i met/took pictures of, back in june last year
by november, i& #39;d learned to recognize them https://twitter.com/tef_ebooks/status/1193572379080974339">https://twitter.com/tef_ebook...
i even got a video of them ignoring peanuts https://twitter.com/tef_ebooks/status/1194375004420558850">https://twitter.com/tef_ebook...
by january, they& #39;d gotten close enough for me to see why they wouldn& #39;t eat peanuts: the lower part of their beak is split https://twitter.com/tef_ebooks/status/1219680925811908608">https://twitter.com/tef_ebook...
fast forward a few months, they& #39;ll happily eat by my feet
unfortunately for them, so will a few other crows
so they stuff their little broken jaw with as much suet as they can carry, and fly off to eat in private

i& #39;m not holding my breath, but of all the crows, this one might be brave enough to eat out of my hand, one day
either way, when i& #39;m out feeding the flock, i keep a little bit of suet to one side, just in case they come to say hi

(i honestly do get a bit worried if i haven& #39;t seen them out for a few days)
