AIBU to want my sister to leave my local crows alone?

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???

Take up ballroom dancing instead and let her follow?

All you do with your sister is fight!

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

Oh! It’s Bike in the Hall woman.
I suppose you can’t fault her for imagination…

Are crows a euphemism for something else?!

ThejoyofNC · 19/05/2026 14:17

Wait, are you the one who left your bike in your sisters hallway?

What's this bike thread?

You need to have a word with Russell, he's being very disrespectful to you. All youve done for him and the rest of the murder!

It's that or leave ltb!

In this context LTB= Leave The Bird

Lougle · 19/05/2026 14:21

I bet Russell answers to Derek for your DSis. Such a fickle little thing.

I'm amazed at people researching previous threads, I'm actually quite envious at the commitment they have.

i also interested in the bike in the hallway thread.

Stowickthevast · 19/05/2026 14:21

Does anyone remember that thread where a woman was being attacked by crows? She was going for a walk to try and give them treats and t never came back!

cramptramp · 19/05/2026 14:22

Yeah, right 🙄

I didn't need to research it, it's so obvious

LetMeGoogleThat · 19/05/2026 14:24

Clearly they're not your crows, they have zero loyalty and are in an affair situation with your sister. I'm sorry, but when it comes to Russell, you need to get your ducks in a row (They're not yours either!) And LTB.

Mumandcarer80 · 19/05/2026 14:24

Is this for real ffs? My dd likes to go and feed ducks at local ponds. Not bread btw I get the floating duck pellets. You don’t own wildlife.

putitonthewrongway · 19/05/2026 14:24

Get your ducks in a crow and LTB

Doingtheboxerbeat · 19/05/2026 14:26

Having just read the bike thread 😱 I was on your side over the crow thing but wowsers 🫣. My bike is a pain in the arse in my own hallway, I couldn't do that to someone elses home - without permission.

I also have a crow but mines called Dave as I felt Russell was too common a name 😄.

ETA: And I couldn't give a fuck who feeds him. And judging by the size of him, neither does he!

BotterMon · 19/05/2026 14:26

I can't believe Russel has cheated on you with your own sister! LTB.

(are you both 12?)

tommyhoundmum · 19/05/2026 14:28

There are crows that follow me round the common with my dog every morning. I give them dog treats. One takes the treat from my hand. He is the alpha. Since they all look alike it's hard to know how many there are.

Honestly? I think you should consider writing sketch comedy, because this is absolute gold

You will never understand...

faithfultoGeorgeMichael · 19/05/2026 14:30

These bastards eat all the song birds eggs and chicks so I repel them with my special whistle 😂
But you could do this and start an actual crow war with your sister OP https://www.reddit.com/r/greentext/comments/5mi9nu/anon_starts_world_war_crow/

What's this bike thread?

It’s an example of extreme sibling rivalry, played out in weird posts on a message board. Some of the situations depicted may or may not exist only in the posters head.

You're being completely unreasonable. I feed pigeons, crows, jackdaws, collard doves and small birds. As long as they were being fed properly it wouldn't bother me who fed them

MilkyLeonard · 19/05/2026 14:36

I’m assuming this is a piss-take of something, but no idea what!
