Just definitely make sure they're unsalted. You can even get unsalted boiled peanuts, which they adore.

Puck up the cheapest 40lb bag of dogfood you can find they'll love it and its got the nutrients they need!

Huh I would never have thought to get dog food for them. I've done zero "research" though, just figured that unsalted seeds, nuts etc at least won't kill them 😅

There's some magpies near me, but I don't have a predictable enough routine to befriend them. I had some crow friends once and they would knock on my window when I was late coming out to them.

They fucking love meatballs, the scavenger birds that they are.

I have the local crows as my friends. Just shared a pastry with them while coming home. They often fly besides me when I'm coming from the store to see whether I have anything for them.
