In a scene familiar to all parents, Norman and Nancy attempt to get a little time to themselves, but one of the fledglings is having none of that nonsense, even going as far as to peck one of the parents to get them to pay attention. #crows #parenting

Sue and Sneezy’s fledglings are on the move. I can hear them making soft “locating” caws to the babies, with babies relying “I’m over here” like a constant game of Marco Polo. And then, all of a sudden, one of the fledglings flapped over from another tree to join Mom and Dad. #crows

It would seem that Sneezy and Sue have two fledglings. They’re keeping a sensibility low profile up in the branches until they get more proficient at the flying business. #crow

It’s that time again. The first crow babies of the season are beginning to fledge, so time to post my annual guide to spotting them — and being understanding about their parents’ seemingly demented behaviour.

Marvellous midweek Marvin. The breeze ruffled his covert wing feathers to give him temporary fairy wings. #crow

May 15 is White Beak Day. I explain the significance of White Beak Day in the 2026 City Crow Calendar, but for those of you still wondering, the explanation follows in the comments.

Nesting News
Nesting season is fully underway once again, and, as usual, things are going more smoothly for some crows than for others. My next post will give a rundown on how individual crows are doing, but to…

Bill was looking extra fancy today. Not because of #crowandravenappreciationday — but because he’s in charge of guarding the nest and bring snacks for his mate. All crows know that the floofiest crow is the fiercest. #crows

Fred looking slightly less innocent as he ambushes the dog. This is a regular occurrence, the most amazing aspect being that Geordie (a nervous dog by nature) seems to not mind. #crows

A close up of Bill, showing off his newly trimmed beak … and the beautiful pattern of veins in the nictitating membrane momentarily covering his eye. I always think that the vein patterns you see in them look like a beautiful forest of bare tree branches — worlds within worlds. 🖤 #crows

Bill’s beak is the subject of this week’s Urban Nature Enthusiast blog post. He suffers from AKD, and his beak (although handsome) was getting overly long. Bill somehow solved his own problem. #crows urbannature.blog/2026/04/08/b...

Young Lou, just hanging around while Mom and Dad (Mavis and Marvin) are occupied with nesting business. He’s having fun, while also guarding the territorial boundary with crow neighbours Norman and Nancy. #crow

Just a few words from young Lou. His parents, Marvin and Mavis, have been busy with nesting business for the past couple of weeks, leaving Lou with lots of time to find his own entertainment. #crow

Magnificent Marvin, sublime in his floofiness. I’ve known Marv, and his mate, Mavis for about nine years now and both are doing well and embarking on yet another nesting season with distracted help from Lou, their fledgling from last year. #crow

Spring … and corvid romance are in the air. Around this time of year, you may start to hear noises from your local crows and ravens that sound just like fledglings begging to be fed by their parents. What’s going on … read on in comments.

Somewhere in the sad expression of this eagle carving is a commentary on the current state of the United States. They could be pondering any number of topics — Ukraine, the environment, toxic masculinity, the dismantling of democracy, the threatening of US allies and neighbours … 🪶
