Are you worried that Russel will prefer your sister over you? I'd be more annoyed at Russel, zero loyalty from crows these days.

Agreed. Honestly I think russel is playing you against eachother the cheeky bastard

I have been feeding a group of crows near my house and we’re just getting to the point where they wait for me now in a morning and come very close. My sister has decided she wants in on it but I’ve told her to go and find her own murder as I’ve put in all the hard work with these ones. I told her there is a murder across the way on the field she could do and feed.

this morning I was coming home from shop and there she was feeding Russel from my murder. I shouted at her and she shouted that they’re not my fucking crows, at the point a woman walking a dog walked past and tutted so sister shouted that they’re not my crows and I was shouting at her. The woman just carried on walking but this was right near my house!!

AIBU to think she should just go and feed the others???

I’d be fuming too. I’ve been thinking about finding my own murder recently. Hope they remain loyal to you.

I love this! I also feed my local crows - they are mine now. I hoping that they will bring me shiny things in exchange for peanuts.
YANBU.

I thought we were meant to be avoiding feeding birds seed at the moment to prevent disease spread. Are crows exempted?

HRTFT but get a mask made of your sister's face and scare your murder whilst wearing said mask. The crows will then attack your sister and love you more, job done.

This could work @AliceNotInChains 😊

You need to walk away from Russel, op. I’m seeing red flags all over the place.
Let your sister have him and she’ll find out the hard way.

Give her some Kia ora to give to them, it’s too orangey for crows and they will flounce in disgust

Applause

All you do with your sister is fight!

Have you removed the bicycle from her hallway yet?
Or returned the keyboard you borrowed?

Manchegomango · 19/05/2026 13:50

Wherever you hold the buffet you should make a pub sign that reads The Crow Bar

Friendlygingercat · 19/05/2026 13:50

There have been other threads about crows on Mumsnet. Including one where a poster was regularly attacked by crows. They are fascinating creatures.

Crows evaluate faces using integrated neural systems. Landmark studies by researchers at the University of Washington proved crows not only remember individual faces but will pass down "grudges" (or trust) across multiple generations through social learning.

I get that Russell is a good name for a crow, but why have you only named one? Can you only think of one funny name ( you could use Sheryl for a start) . Or, are you unable to distinguish them from each other so call them all Russell?

Read all the OP's posts! Cheryl and White Chest are also in the murder.

EggStation · 19/05/2026 13:48

Crows are very loyal and hold grudges. They will decide which of you they prefer.

Yesitsmeimback · 19/05/2026 13:47

There is an old peoples home at the end of my road a murder of crows hangs about outside all the time, bit dark 😬😬😬😬

MousseMousse · 19/05/2026 13:47

This feels so fake but i guess I'm here for it anyway lol

What are you laying out for the buffet

Her sister.... 😁

AllBranGirl · 19/05/2026 13:46

Finally a post on MN I can relate to! 🐦‍⬛

SeaShellsSanctuary1 · 19/05/2026 13:46

Shouting at each other 😀

It's just reminding me of "what's your name" "Ezekiel" 😀😀

AllSlugsAreBastards · 19/05/2026 13:45

Reprehensible behaviour from your sister - she should make friends with her own murder.

Chewbecca · 19/05/2026 13:42

I went to a motel in the US once where the owner (who lived onsite) fed many large black birds and they hung around the pool and his kitchen all day. Was a bit surreal at the time. He seemed like a nice chap though. You could make a wonderful couple.

For your shopping list @AliceNotInChains

The Ultimate Crow Menu
Crows are opportunistic omnivores. If you give them a high-protein, easily accessible buffet, they will quickly become regulars.
The Holy Grail: Raw, unsalted peanuts in the shell. They love the challenge of cracking them open and can carry them away to cache.
Protein Boosters: Dry high-quality dog or cat food, freeze-dried mealworms, and unsalted suet pellets.
Crow Favorites: Hard-boiled eggs (you can even leave them slightly cracked), leftover unseasoned cooked meats, and dog biscuits.
Treats & Fruits: Halved grapes, berries (like blueberries), and nuts like walnuts.

Russel 💓
