What happens if you suddenly place a crow in a different environment?

Hello folks,

So, our crow, which we raised after it fell out of its nest, is now going to a new family about 30km away from us. Our neighbors don't really like our little friend because he sometimes pecks at the flowers and lands on them, or (it's happened once so far) disturbs them during breakfast.

The little one was supposed to be picked up yesterday, but he ran away for the first time the day before and just came back. He was apparently slightly injured and suddenly became a bit afraid of us, which is why I don't completely rule out humans being behind the injury, since he would just go right up to us and is quite trusting…

So he's supposed to be picked up today (my parents decided), even though he's so sick. 🙁

Now to the real question: What will happen in his new home? Could he die because he's not familiar with the dangers? Could he refuse to be fed by others? Or, now that he's suddenly surrounded by forests and fields, might he simply not be able to cope?

I would be very happy to receive an answer.

I think he'll be able to handle it, after all he's still a wild animal.

LG Tom

Crows are very intelligent and unlike the common opinion, unfaithful.

You have become his family in which you raised him. He'll come and find him back.

Rabs are very, very caring parents. Only the boys are often too early, too sweaty and fly out of the nest because they can't even fly and still try where the parents would continue to take care of the little ones if you don't interfere.

That's how we got a couple. They are hospitable for us, Kobi and Käthi, and every second year they have a boy who they will indeed accompany for two years. They feed him on the ground, show him everything, and at some point they are here again only in seconds and it is regenerated. And then, after Röbi, Rosa will be taught so lovingly in all the arts, before they take their own home, Reviere.

Your raven, as he should, learned from you, not what he can hold himself over water.

You can't just say that. So you're old enough so I'll take you away and you know how to get through.

Yeah, he already knows. People feed him, he learned that without having to look for himself and how to do it as a bird.

Destructions of animals that were raised by human hands require much and a protected transition.

He can't get out there, because he didn't learn how to crack a nut and find it….only that there is it where people are and he comes to it virtually free and he can wrap the people around the claw, which then suddenly doesn't go that way and he has no idea how to get food really himself.

He always comes back, because he missed his natural school and suddenly the clean guy is quite annoying.

If he doesn't come anymore, he died on the go and that's pretty sad. He would have to learn in a wild game to have to learn there himself, notabene in self-study as he gets clear.

That's the risk of renting birds. Especially with raven birds it's hard. They get used to people and are no longer afraid. The bird should be examined by professionals before being exposed, and then pampered and slowly devastated, otherwise it is too dangerous for the animal. Not every human being loves animals. There are enough idiots who would use it to hurt the animal. When dressing, the rule applies only to keep the most necessary contact with the animal. Otherwise, the bird should be kept in a wilderness until the excerpt (provided there is no need for nestling anymore of heat). As you say, it's a wild animal. They can adapt to new living conditions. A blue sea I was allowed to bleed out last year came to us for the first two days. But then no more. Once she was there again, but she didn't leave me more than 1m and then flew away. For the crows it will be best if they have a chance of freedom.

The next time you find a bird in need of help, please contact expert persons.

On Facebook there are the group Wild Bird Help Notes, you can contact this group.

First of all, not every bird that falls out of the nest needs help, as long as it is not an unfaithed or injured bird. (Unfed and/or injured birds definitely need help).

Often these are just young birds who are just doing their first flight tests, still being supplied by parents and need no help.

Here's a post:

https://www.nabu.de/tiere-und- Pflanzen/voegel/helfen/01945.html

In the Facebook group mentioned above, you can ask whether the bird needs help or not. Simply post a picture and/or video of the bird, describe the circumstances and the condition of the bird and if further questions are asked under the post they answer.

And if a bird has to be pulled up/coupled, then by skilled people, because you can do a lot of wrong with wild birds.

It sounds like the crow wasn't really pulled out and it is misprinted. If you find a chick / nestling, then it must later be in a deer crowd with fellows, because the bird must learn to hide outside, seek self-food, interact with fellows, etc., that is to be able to survive in nature. You can't raise a wild bird by hand and then simply put it out when it's big, because that's not how it can survive in nature. In addition, the bird is much too tame, which is not good at all.

Who exactly will the bird be picked up? Where is he going?

In any case, the bird has to be skilled persons in an excavation site with artisans. So please secure first, so catch up. Then turn to the Facebook group Wildbirdhilfe emergencies and describe the situation.

I think he's already packing it, it's still a wild animal.

No, if the bird is misprinted and hasn't been pulled out properly, he won't grab it. He is then not viable in nature and would die in nature.

It doesn't matter if you find a bird, he survives with one, but this in nature because he is not viable. This is why the bird has to go to an extinction site where it is working to survive in nature. In the above mentioned Facebook group you can be called such places in the area. Or turn to reception stations / breeding stations in your area.

And because of the injury: Depending on what he has, he must be a veterinarian (!) It is very important that this is a veterinarian who is competent because very many veterinarians do not know about wild birds. He's also taken care of his injury at the deer point.

So please: Turn to the above-mentioned Facebook group, where you are called suitable places, please bring the bird there. It is important that the bird comes into expert hands and not just go somewhere.

If you don't have a Facebook and you don't want to sign up there, please post someone else (family, friends, acquaintances, classmate, workmate, neighbor, …) a post into this Facebook group, this person can then forward the information to you.

I think she's coming back!

Offer your approach and seating. There's no "disturbing" in her place.

I was afraid.

You, your neighbors are his clan! You don't get it.
