One woman in particular, has gained a sweet new friendship with a family of crowsthey even exchange gifts!
WhenTango Steinkemoved into her home in Virginia, she realized that she had some noisy neighbors.
A pair of crows nested behind her home and had made themselves rather comfortable.
Food became scarce when winter arrivedso Doc and Dottie started to visit Stienke nearly every day.
Over the course of that first month of regular visits, they became more vocal about their arrival.
Theyd caw at my bedroom window on the weekends until I got up to feed them, Steinke shares.
The crow duo didnt just take without giving back though.
In return for Steinkes generosity throughout the winter, the crows decided to show their gratitude.
After accepting plenty of peanuts from their kind neighbor, the birds started giving thank you gifts.
Crows are known to give small gifts to people who pay attention to them and feed them.
Thats when Steinke found a worn and gray pebble on her porch.
In addition to the sweet gifts, a new addition arrived at feeding time last springa baby crow!
Now the crow family of three have become more than just Steinkes neighbors.
Theyve become best friends.
