Help! Red-winged Blackbirds are chasing away my buddies!

Over the past 9 months or so, I’ve been able to establish a relationship between me and a pair of crows. Been feeding them peanuts in my driveway every morning and have even gotten to the point of being able to call them in when I whistle! They always come out and hang out when I’m outside mowing my lawns and such too. Now, the red-winged blackbird have arrived…..

We have a large marsh on three sides of our yard and the blackbird live and nest in the tall grass. Can’t really get rid of them as there are TONS that come back every spring. The problem now is that every time my crow friends show up, the blackbirds chase them and harass them away from my yard! Those assholes!!

My question is: will this affect my relationship with the crows?
