![]() I felt inwardly that no human mother had the patience of this crow. Mouths agape, they would chase her and scream. ![]() We laughed watching the poor mother crow being chased by her fledglings. The crows would scavenge what was left from the 4 piles of grain placed on flakes of hay. The miniature horses that occupied this barnyard were fed grain each morning when let out of the barn. We live above the barn so we had a great view of the process. The parents and fledglings would scavenge in our barnyard. But last year we noticed the crows had 4 fledglings. I always dump kitchen scraps at the end of a field and knew the crows (and other animals) fed from it. We've noticed the crows on the farm over the years, but never paid much attention to them until last year. We live on a horse farm in Plattsburgh, NY. That being said, crows are very intelligent animals and are interesting to observe. They then scared away the gull and then proceeded to eat the vomit (I know, gross) but if you think about it, a pretty effective way to get a meal with less effort. They were in pairs, kind of pinned down the gull, and proceeded to peck at the dot until the gull vomited. I have witnessed this two times involving crows. When this is pecked at by the young, it initiates a tropic reaction that makes them regurgitate. California Seagulls, that are mostly relegated to the central coast, have a unique way of feeding their young. One unique behavior that I have observed, twice, has to be special to this area. In Santa Barbara we have a large population of crows. Started bringing twigs and moss for past two days mostly obtaining the twigs from nearby trees. Nest Building in Palm Coast, Florida.Two rather loud crows are busy building a nest in an oak tree at the front of our house in Palm Coast. Very interesting to watch their dilligence feeding and protecting their brood. They had 2 chicks that made it to adulthood, 4 eggs hatched, but 1 then 1 more disappeared. They are using the same nest as last year, I first spotted it then in this ornamental berry bush. Have spent the morning enthralled with watching nest building in tall pine at edge of my property 6 miles SW of Williston Florida (Williston is located between Gainesville and Ocala).
