They have the money but probably aren’t allowed in the stores to buy it themselves.

It’s either

1.) Facilitating the financial self-sufficiency of local avian wildlife or

2.) The bird equivalent of buying alcohol for your kid cousins who are standing outside the liquor store.

    if you happen to find yourself in a similar situation where you're the sugar daddy for a murder of crows, get them some nice peanuts and sunflower seeds instead! bread isn't good for birds!

    Ehh. You're more of a fence than a sugar daddy. You move stolen loot for a cut.

    I kinda wish all the stray/feral cats I've befriended would start coughing up some cash once in awhile instead of dead mice and hairballs for me.

    The photo is of a raven, not a crow. That said, exchanges of this sort with corvids has always been a bucket list item of mine.

    What is the difference between a raven and a crow? One major difference is that ravens have 3 pinion feathers on each wing, whereas crows only have two.

    So its really just a difference of a pinion

    Apparently, ravens are so huge that if you see one you will not be in doubt that it can't be a crow. At least that's what I've been told.

    $20 for bread crumbs?! These crows must be living in the USA.

    It's bold of Anon to assume that the crows are not earning the money legitimately.

    That's racist.

    I've been feeding roasted (and unsalted) peanuts to my local crows for three years now. Those ungrateful bastards haven't given me shit in return. One time I thought they had given me some little seeds and berries, but I realized they had just puked those up to make room for the peanuts.

    Do you have a designated table you put the peanuts on?

    I knew a guy years ago who managed to start trading with the crows in our neighborhood by having a table with two sections, one with bird snackies, the other empty (I think he may have put some foil there at one point?) so they'd have a place to put their payment.

    The always got little plastic things, bits of mylar, twistie ties and what not.

    Florida man arrested after training crows to steal the declaration of independence for him.

    That's just one distribution method of the mint. They find dollars go through more hands on average if they are given to crows by this man's lake. He should not feel guilty for stimulating my economy.

    Buy them some unsalted peanuts or walnuts. They will worship you as the god you are.

    a lot of people have trained crows to steal money for them… it’s very illegal….
    probably not getting cash from restaurant tables.:.
    people have also trained ferrets to steal jewelry and used them as burglars….
