  If I were a young parent I wouldn’t want something shiny, I’d want diapers.

  I’d put out an array of snacks and see which one they pick first, then add more of that the next day.

  If someone feeds my babies reliably and conveniently I’ll forgive them pretty quick.

  They say it takes ten seconds to break trust but ten years to rebuild it, so OP is gonna have to play the long game.

    Yeah, but… You’re not a crow.

      I like to imagine crows as lazy.

    I don’t want them to become too dependent on me, in case it hurts their ability to find food on their own.

    How much food would be reasonable but not excessive?

      I wish I was a crow biologist so I could help you. But I know crows like peanuts, so maybe a peanut, an almond, and a pecan and go from there.

      Interspecies communication has to start slowly.

      You can give them a lot. Birds are like humans they aren’t going to eat too much of the same thing. Even feeding birds in your backyard will only make up about 25% of their consumption. The rest they get from live bugs, berries, etc.
