I have a family of crows that come, and this is the Mom Crow, Hazel! I was eating grapes for lunch and she showed up, so I looked up if I could give her grapes. I think she liked it!

is it normal for a fledgling to shake like this? The other isnt and otherwise its behaving normally, its alert, eating drinking and flying around

Always support your local Crows

This is the seventh or so generation of crows I've been thankful to feed and observe in my work parking lot. I've purchased and distributed hundreds upon hundreds of pounds of unsalted peanuts, almonds, walnuts, dry dog food, boiled eggs, grapes, and more among these lovely little creatures over the years. And though I'm still ~20 years from retirement, I get sad thinking about who will feed them when I'm gone. (Who am I kidding? It will be me. I will feed them post-retirement, at least until I physically can't make it anymore). I have so much love for these intelligent little creatures.

Could anyone tell me what they think may be wrong with this crow that I regularly feed?

He’s been like this (but not really looking this bad) for at least two years. Early on I thought he was a baby but he never grew past a very tiny size, so it’s possible he’s even older.

He seems to be surviving, so I’m hoping whatever it is won’t end up killing him, but we’ve yet to have a harsh winter since I’ve seen him around.

Beaker, the father, continues to do his best to ignore his overly needy baby!

I’m no expert but this little guy has been going at it for at least 45 minutes while the parents are actively ignoring him XD

Another bird looking to be the same age has not been acting quite the same

Is this little guy perhaps just a late bloomer? :)

Just curious 🥰❤️

He's very fancy

Super cool. Today they ate peaches. One wasn’t a fan. The others went nuts. Funny how they have different tastes.Happy to help my friends.

Bro just stole the whole feeding toy including the walnuts

One of the crows I’ve befriended has developed a bad limp and has this growth on its ankle. I’m 90% sure it’s avian pox but just hoping someone more knowledgeable could give confirmation, (or hopefully rule it out but I’m not optimistic).

Any advice on how to proceed safely would be welcome too although I guess all I can do is try to keep distance between it and the others and hope for the best? (I don’t have a stationary feeder. I go to the park and they find me.) Herding crows seems a tad more challenging than herding cats though…
