For the past two months, any visiting crows have had to play their own version of Survivor with the squirrels. Their little ramekin of peanuts sat next to the berries I put out for my trio of catbirds, and shared space with sunflower hearts for the wrens and finches. It was also a little lower than I think they felt comfortable with, as my dog would often nose their waiting treats.

What’s a crow-loving girl to do? Bribe her son to build a new crow café to put on a fence post, that’s what! In the photo, you can see a bit of kibble, a ramekin of peanuts, and a few little raspberries for dessert. I particularly love the carved trim with little vines around the edges.

I’ve not witnessed any visitors yet, but at least one peanut has disappeared!
