We all likely know the look and familiar sounds of American Crows well. But not everyone knows just how intelligent and empathetic these flying friends can be. Crows can remember human faces, whether friend or foe (they use warning calls to alert each other to danger when enemies come around), and have been known to leave gifts like coins for their human friends. They also mourn their dead in groups and use tools such as rocks and sticks to reach food or water sources that are just out of reach.
You can tell the difference between Crows and similar Ravens by Crows’ smaller size, and their telltale calls (“Caw-caw!”), often used as background noise in horror films.
Fun fact: In another smart food-finding tactic, Crows will carry hard-shelled mollusks with them in flight, then drop them on rocks to break them open and enjoy the snacks inside.

You’ve asked, and we’ve answered! After another year of backyard testing and thanks to valuable feedback from our customers, Flying Colors is excited to announce our new and improved blends!
We’re thrilled to introduce two more premium organic seeds into the mix…
Black Oil Sunflower Seed is the widely considered most preferred seed amongst backyard birds, and our testing backs that claim up!! It’s a powerhouse seed packed with fat, protein and essential nutrients like essential nutrients such as calcium, iron, vitamin E, B and Potassium. What’s more, it’s soft shell makes it easy for any bird to crack it open.
White Proso Millet is a high protein seed that has beneficial nutrients like calcium, B vitamins and a variety of trace minerals like magnesium, manganese & potassium. It’s a favorite amongst ground feeding birds like Doves, Juncos, Towhees & native Sparrows & Cardinals. So when the Jays come in and decide to make a complete mess, they’ll be promoting your ground population as well. Buntings, Wrens and Finches love this seed as well!
