Part 9: Feeding Corvids in Human-Made Environments

How Humans Can Help Corvids – Feeding Safely and Responsibly

People can support wild crows and other corvids by offering suitable food, especially during winter or dry seasons when natural resources are limited.
However, it’s essential to know what is safe, nutritious, and appropriate — to help, not harm, these intelligent birds.

What You Can Feed

High-protein foods:
Cooked eggs or small portions of cooked, unsalted meat help provide vital nutrients.

Commercial bird food:
Specially formulated mixes for wild birds are safe and balanced.

Nuts and seeds:
Unsalted peanuts, sunflower seeds, and other natural nuts are excellent energy sources.

Fruits and vegetables:
Offer small portions of apples, berries, grapes, corn, peas, or chopped carrots.

Insects (live or dried):
Mealworms or crickets can be purchased from pet stores and provide natural protein.

What to Avoid

Processed foods containing salt, sugar, or spices.
Dairy products such as milk, cheese, or yogurt (birds cannot digest lactose).
Foods exposed to pesticides or chemicals.
Bread, which offers little nutrition and can upset their digestion.

Tips for Safe Feeding

Place food in open, safe areas where birds can spot predators.
Avoid overfeeding, as it can attract pests or make birds dependent.
Clean feeding areas regularly to prevent bacteria, mold, or disease spread.

A Final Note

Feeding wild corvids can build trust and provide life-saving support in harsh conditions — but always do so with care and awareness.
A thoughtful approach helps these remarkable birds stay healthy, independent, and thriving in their natural environment.
