@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidmy wife was looking out of the window and watched a crow cover up some food scraps with cardboard,the crow returned later and ate the food.
We have 2 crows that visit us daily and noisily demand monkey nuts. (Which we dutifully throw out of the window).
Today one of them came back with a feather that it dropped in front of our window. My wife is convinced it was a gift.
@Chuck-2 saidYeah, they do that. (And bury food like squirrels).

Crows are very smart and they even hold grudges for years so ya better be nice.
A gift? Maybe. I doubt it. They aren't compassionate like in some cartoon movie.
More likely they see people hand over cash and get food in return. The crow doesn't understand the cash but sees the exchange so it mimics the transaction.
There's a dog that gives a leaf to the ice cream man in return for an ice cream cone too.
Videos like this are all over the internet.
Smart animals will use any opportunity to secure food so I don't think it's a gift.
Do an experiment and you'll see...
Next time they are around, let them see you put some bottle caps out there, as a gift, instead of food.
Watch how they get mad 😄

@ManDelaMaza saidThey listen to their mama and go before they leave the house.
@diver
Do divers just go when the need arises?
I imagine number one is undetectable but what about number two?
