Crows bring GIFTS to people who feed them regularly.

This is documented. By scientists. Multiple times.

→ A girl in Seattle received HUNDREDS of gifts from crows she fed
→ Buttons, beads, paper clips, glass shards, screws, earrings, a tiny heart-shaped rock
→ The crows REMEMBER who is kind and who is mean
→ They tell OTHER crows (information passes through the group)
→ Kindness is rewarded. Hostility is punished (for GENERATIONS)

The gift-giving appears to be RECIPROCITY:
→ 'You gave me food. Here is something I found. We are even.'
→ Some researchers believe crows have a concept of FAIRNESS
→ In experiments, crows reject unequal rewards (they want the same as their partner)

If you start feeding crows consistently:
→ Same time, same place, same food (unsalted peanuts work great)
→ They'll recognize you within days
→ They may begin leaving objects within weeks
→ They will NEVER forget your face

You can literally become friends with a dinosaur descendant.

And it'll bring you presents. 🎁

⛰️😱 The San Andreas Fault, a massive geological fracture on the west coast of North America, spans approximately 1,300 km (810 miles) from California to Baja California. It marks the boundary between the North American and Pacific tectonic plates and is a major source of seismic activity in the region.

Dating back about 30 million years, this fault has triggered powerful earthquakes, including the infamous 1906 San Francisco quake, and has contributed to the gradual movement of cities like Los Angeles. As a transform fault, where tectonic plates slide horizontally past one another, it remains a vital focus for studying tectonic activity and assessing earthquake risks in the area.
