8-Year-Old Girl Gets Hundreds of Gifts from Crows She’s Been Feeding for Years
We often underestimate the intelligence of fellow animals on this planet, but this story will drop your jaw. Eight-year-old Gabi Mann from Seattle, Washington has been feeding crows from her family garden for more than four years now, and in return, they bring her presents – including a camera lens cap that she dropped while out walking one day – her most precious gift of hundreds so far.
Other gifts Gabi has received from the crows include a piece of metal stamped, “best” on it, buttons, bones, earrings, polished rocks, and other little trinkets.
She began feeding the crows seed from her back patio when she returned home from school each day. This was only after she noticed she had been feeding them by accident, dropping crumbs from food she was eating herself, and noticing them gobble up the remains.
Gabi began giving the crows food scraps with her brother, while traversing to and from school. Once the routine had been established, Gabi started getting gifts from the crows. They would leave them on her patio, and in the case of her lost camera lens, it was sitting on the bird bath one day.
Her family became interested and started cataloging the gifts the crows were bringing her. All things shiny and small that can fit in a crow’s caw have been gifted to Gabi to thank her for her food offerings. However, she has also received dead baby birds, and other gory gifts that she likes less, but is curious about just the same.
Her family knows it was indeed the crows that brought her the camera lens because they installed a bird cam, and checked the footage to corroborate Gabi’s story. Gabi’s mother, Lisa says, “You can see it [crow] bringing it into the yard. Walks it to the birdbath and actually spends time rinsing this lens cap.”
John Marzluff, professor of wildlife science at the University of Washington advises that Gabi has been the perfect steward for building a relationship with these highly intelligent birds.
“If you want to form a bond with a crow, be consistent in rewarding them, he says.

Their brains are only the size of a human thumb, but their cognitive abilities are amazing.

Gabi brings to light a whole new level of a crows intelligence…too bad libtards can’t achieve this same level of intellect and understanding.

I am a believer but I would love to see the video of the crow bringing the cap to the bird feeder. Thank you for sharing.

What a great story.
Thank you.
OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE Crows!! They are totally amazing!! I used to live in Albuquerque NM and one day in 1996,as I was driving down my small side-street to the main street to work,I saw HUNDREDS of crows in the middle of the street. I was used to seeing this huge family of crows usually flying around the park. But this time,they were jumping on the ground in the middle of the street which was quite odd. I pulled over to see what the commotion was. In the middle of the crowd was an injured crow. It was laying on its side and couldn’t fly. I think it was side-swiped by a car. Anyway the crows were freaking out as I bent down to gently pick the injured bird up. The crows were dive bombing me as I walked to my car with the bird. It looked like a scene from “The Birds”. I thought about taking it to a Vet. But I thought about my job. So I decided to pray for this crow who was now pooping in my lap ot of fear. I prayed that God would heal this bird immediately. I sat for a minute stroking this sweet bird and then i exited my car and held the bird up — IT FLEW OUT OF MY HANDS! The birds swirled around me now as the healed bird flew up to meet the others in the air. I was filled with awe! They all began swirling around me as if to say thank you! I will never forget this incredible event..
Where’s our old mate the mad viking?
He’d chuck a fit at the very mention of crows.
Right before declaring a holy war on all and sundry.
