Answer 3

You can definitely tame a baby crow! I have seen so many videos on youtube of crow pets because they are so incredibly smart

Answer 4

It is illegal to own native wild crows anywhere in the US, they are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.  Some people do own exotic crow species that are bred specifically to be pets,  as this is legal.  Look here for more info:

I like the Starling idea someone else suggested as well.

Answer 5

I have only been to Birmingham once. I am a Cabury chocolate addict that has to travel to England and Europe to get good chocolate.

The best thing to do is to scout in the early spring for a rookery. I have spotted rookeries every time I visit the UK. They are normally in pine trees. I don't  know what kind of pines they are but they look easy to climb. Hunt around until you find their nest tree. Then you just climb up after you see the Ravens carrying food to their young. Then you feed the baby moistened dog kibble. I kept mine in a empty Gal Aquarium. That way you can sit them on a heating pad as long as they need it. Also it lets them see you all of the time. They make a swell pet.

The mistake I made was I let my crow fly free. I had a nice cage for him but he like it out so Ieft him free. The retired gents in the neigborhood spoiled him. He wasn't scared of nothing or nobody. I finally had to send him to a game reserve in Illinios. He was chasing the kids at a school just a few blocks from here. The real small kids (K-3) wouldn't come out at recess because of the black eagle chasing them. The pricipal hunted me down and asked me to keep the bird up. I sure hated to give him up. He could say hello, Hey Tony! and a few other things that he was working on.

Answer 6

Well ........ I live in Texas & crows are everywhere (lots). When I was young my daddy brought home 4 crows and their nest. He built a 15 ft. x 15 ft. - 12 ft. tall cage. We kept two. We named them Heckle & Jeckle. They were easy to tame. Anytime I went inside to play with them, and if I had a shiny hairclasp in my hair they would pick it out of my hair and fly up in their nest and put it there. If I tried to get it back, they would make a fuss squawking over & over. So, I guess by PAST EXPERIENCE... you can tame a wild crow, the younger the better or easier.  If I found some more I would get them for my grandkids to have the great experience I had as growing up with my crows. AND the crows had a life of luxury

Answer 7

Crows are protected federally under the migratory bird act - it is illegal to possess them without a license and licenses are given to places like nature centers and wildlife rehabilitation clinics.  Wild animals (including birds) should never be kept as pets!

Answer 8

It's illegal to have a pet crow.  However, if you could get a baby starling, they are great pets and not illegal to keep, because they are a non-native species.  Look it up; they are great talkers and beautiful birds.  Make sure you know what to feed them.

One friend of mine does have a "pet" crow, but only because it can't fly.  Somebody captured it as a baby and fed it birdseed, which is not right for crows, and it didn't develop right.  So my friend took it and has it in a huge outdoor cage.

Answer 9

Starlings do make awesome pets.  I currently am owned by a 1 year old beauty and have just rescued another baby that will be raised as a pet.  Visit starlingtalk website to read more.  There are links in my profile that you can click.  My avatar is also a picture of my starling.
