Someone posted years ago here about feeding crows in a local park that they rode by daily on their bike, and how for months after they stopped feeding them they were occasionally met by a phalanx of crows who flew alongside them for a while as they rode.
That has been on my bucket list ever since. Not a whole phalanx, but I would like to have a crow friend like Patera Silk did. They migrate through my area in midwinter, so I will have to get some unsalted nuts this year (and the next, and the one after that…)
My crows have done this sometimes when I'm on my bike! Although they'll usually only follow alongside me as far as their territory extends, about the length of a parking lot. Not quite a phalanx either, just a bird or two.
