Munin went to a coffee shop bookstore in Everett, Artisans Books & Coffee. Everyone was so nice to her there! She felt very welcome.

that everything involving corvids includes the not remote possibility that they will turn into highwaymen is only one of their many attractive qualities

You invented a machine. Paper bills get dropped in, seeds dispense from the top. The local crows quickly discovered the wondrous vending machine and youve been getting an easy 500 a week in passive income. The police haven’t caught on yet, but today there was 500k in the machine.

alas it is not, but it COULD BE!

The best tips I have for making crow friends are to find your nearest local murder and routinely bring them snacks (by routinely I mean at about the same time of day so they know when to expect you), if your crow friends are unlikely to see you leaving said snacks you may want to make a distinctive noise (nothing too loud so they don't get spooked, just something to draw their attention).

After they become accustomed to this they will recognize you as friend-with-snacks and may begin showing up in unusual places trying to see if you will give them snacks anywhere/anytime, it may be unwise to entertain this since they will likely take full advantage, but that's really up to you. You will also probably begin seeing gifts left for you which is delightful. Your new crow friends may leave these gifts where you put snacks, but they are cunning little buggers so you may also find gifts in unusual places where they are sure you will find them (like on your windshield).

Do offerings have to consist of food/drink?? I live in a really old, shitty building, and despite being a neat-freak with an intense phobia for bugs, I've had like 4 infestations as a consequence of living here for 10 years. I do have a balcony but I can't really use it for offerings like this unless I want bees and wasps to upset my neighbors (and the landlord). So leaving out food and drinks isn't really a viable option :/

yikes! Sorry you're having so many issues with bugs!

So you have a couple of options, you can still offer food and drink and then just consume it yourself to avoid any unfriendly intruders. While I personally dislike consuming my offerings I find most pagans split about half and half on the idea of it it is appropriate or not.

Secondly, you ABSOLUTELY can give offerings that are nonparishable. Some people offer tasks ('I'm dedicating this cleaning spree to Frigga' 'I dedicate this study session to Ogma' etc), others might offer pretty rocks or leaves or feathers they find throughout their day, I have a dedicated necklace for Macha which I keep on my altar if I'm not wearing it.

The options for things you can give to your deities is as limitless as your imagination. Its just that food/drink are traditional and tend to hold deep cultural significance to people, so we often reach for those first.

When she's in the mood...

She's generally not a cuddler, but she was getting sleepy.

I forgot my little red bag of peanuts when I was walking my dog today - mostly because these last few weeks, it was so warm that my crowfriends were hanging out in the forest and I didn't see much of them. But today it's cooler and they are very back and very active and I ran into my bestie Omen of all people/crows and he immediately came to demand peanuts and I had to explain to im "sorry, all out" and I tried doing this with the same gesture I use when communicating "empty, all out of treats" to my dog by showing him my empty palms and turning so that he could see -no peanut bag-, hoping that he would follow the train of thought NO BAG THAT PEANUTS SPAWN FROM - NO PEANUTS - WANT TO GIVE BUT CAN'T GIVE.

I also did the typical 'walking and looking over my shoulder' gesture I use to mean 'follow me' with my dog paired with the typical clicks I do to get the attention of the crows to see if I could get him to follow me home where I could give him some peanuts. But he didn't follow so I was like 'okay, I guess this doesn't translate into bird' He did show up another time on my way home (it's about a 10-minute walk from where I was) and I did the same dance for him and he cawed once and left again. So yeah, I thought he understood that there were no peanuts but not that I could go get him peanuts if he came with.

...except the moment I arrive home, he and his mate (who hadn't been with him previously) swoop in and wait for me in a tree. Communication is insane with these guys.

you know that post that is like "i like when animals do the curious head tilt, does it make more sense at a 45° angle?" - that's me when my crowfriends do the bird-neck-stretch. Their head shoots up and I'm like. See any better with those extra 5 centimetres? You're in a tree.
