You probably heard before that crows are among the smartest birds on Earth. Studies have shown they have the ability to solve complex problems and can remember human faces and their acts for years. There are also countless stories from everyday life that confirm this, with the story about a woman who became friends with local crows being the most recent one.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Virginia-based TikTok user @tangobird decided to spend more time building relationships with nature, especially the birds that live nearby her home. She would often leave food on the birdfeeder, and all sorts of birds would come in to get their daily meal. Only a few crows opted to pass on the free food and instead hung out on the nearby tree.

Intrigued by the crows, @tangobird tried to get their attention in several ways and eventually managed to show them that her intentions were pure. The crows started showing up at the bird feeder and quickly became regulars.

However, they didn’t want to continue eating for free and started giving their benefactor gifts ranging from pebbles to clips and pennies.

Proud of her gifts, @tangobird decided to document some of them and share them on TikTok while also introducing her new friends. It turned out that social media has a lot of love for crows, and TikTok users started asking for more. This prompted @tangobird to begin giving her followers regular updates about the birds and the gifts she receives. Check out more of her videos below.
