Crows are also opportunistic hunters, who prefer to prey on weak and injured birds. Crows kill pigeons because they need to feed, and pigeons are easy prey. While pigeons stay away from crows, they are also trusting them, which is why crows can attack them with ease. Aside from pigeons, crows can target, hunt, and kill other birds. Aside from crows, other animals would eat a pigeon if they see one.

Hi Mike! I am in Minnetonka. I started feeding crows dog food pellets last year when the schools across the street from me shut down. I also provide a dish basin of fresh water not in the winter. A small group of birds visit me once or twice a day. Sometimes they eat- and sometimes they only stop by to say hello. They are less of a nuisance than the geese at the school.
During the pandemic they have made my days brighter. Had a crow feed in my dry composting area. Decided to leave a bowl of the better stuff in it. Fed it for 5 months, but it never gave me anything back.
Stopped doing the bowl thing. However, 2 months on it started leaving corn cobs as payment. Now, we are back to the bowls. Within 2 min the bird flew to the edge of the garbage can, jumped across the can, jumped on the ground walked around the can jumped up on can edge, back to ground, jumped yo edge teetered then went for the bait. Young pulled the string and bam! My next meal…….. When I held the bird in my hands we tied the string used to trap the food theif to its ankle and let it go……..
