We spoke to two gardening experts on ways to attract birds to the garden without a birdhouse, including native plants, providing food and water sources, and resisting the urge to clean up your garden.
Crows in a trap on a farm in England. Almost all traps involve the use of food, water or decoys to attract birds within range and a mechanism for restricting the movement, injuring or killing birds that come into range. Food, water, decoy birds and call playback may be used to bring birds to the trap.
Hooded crow (Corvus cornix) in flight Jungle crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) scavenging on a dead shark at a beach in Kumamoto, Japan. Medium-large species are ascribed to the genus, ranging from 34 cm (13 in) of some small Mexican species to 60–70 cm (24–28 in) of the large common raven and thick-billed raven, which together with the lyrebird represent the larger passerines.
Corvidae is a cosmopolitan family of oscine passerine birds that contains the crows, ravens, rooks, magpies, jackdaws, jays, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers. [1] [2] [3] In colloquial English, they are known as the crow family or corvids. Currently, 139 species are included in this family.

This involves the crow inserting a stick into an object and then walking or flying away holding both the tool and object on the tool. [130] New Caledonian crows also demonstrate prey-dropping behaviour. The first recorded evidence of this species of crow demonstrating prey dropping behaviour on the snail Placostylus fibratus in a 2013 study. [118]
