I have fed them, talked baby talk to them, or tried, ....and still...even at the slightest movement of a curtain they would fly off. Two weeks ago everything changed. More and more came to the yard and one or two actually listen when I try to make Raven sounds. I've actually have had them stay for a bit eating what I put out while i stand at the screen door, open it and talk to them.
Now...however, I expect treasures left at my doorstep. I've read they will do that. I never miss a day without putting food out for them and at some point I will expect a gift every day I do that. No, not really, I'm okay with them just staying put long enough for me to get a photo. I have taken photos before but it was usually with me hiding behind a curtain waiting for them to turn their head and I could grab a few shots.
