Try to be consistent. Make sure you have food for them each time you see them. Crows are so smart that this isn't essential. But it's a general principle in animal training which is, in a sense, what you are doing. Though as you'll discover, it's more like them training you.

Personally, I like to talk to them. I have no idea whether this helps or not. But I treat each one with dignity, greet them when I see them, explain what I'm doing as I'm getting out a treat, ask them how their days have been, that sort of thing.

@ct_bergstrom@fediscience.org My wife has family who live on a boat on the Thames and they've adopted or been adopted by a couple of crows that they've named Edgar and Allen. While the husband assumes they're named after the poet Poe, the wife insists they're named after the Frog brothers from The Lost Boys.
