I’ve tried before to leave peanuts out for my neighborhood crows, but I’ve had trouble finding good spots for the crows to access that my big dogs can’t reach, and never ended up getting their attention.

FF to recently, I put out feeders and a bird bath which brought in sparrows, and the crows began to notice. I added peanuts to the feeder, but I think maybe the hanging feeder was too unstable for them. But now they’ve clocked the peanuts on the fence post and are cleaning me out within minutes!

Any tips for me to enhance my bro-hood now that we’ve broken the ice? While I’d love to keep refilling their peanuts all day, I’m guessing I’m better off leaving a few out in the morning and a few more in the evening daily to keep them coming around for treats without my yard becoming their full meal plan. Anything else I should do? Words of advice?

Thank you all for your guidance!!

Hi everyone!! Thank you in advance for your kindness and help. I hate jumping in as a stranger and asking for assistance, but I’ve been doing my own research to the best of my ability, and could still use some help.

I am on the board of a small rescue here in San Diego, focused on saving at risk dogs from kill shelters here in Southern California. We are 100% volunteer based, which means everyone is stretched for capacity between our full-time jobs and saving dogs lives on the side.

I’ve been looking for an AI tool that can help us automate admin tasks and free up volunteer time for more important things, while also being mindful of costs. My own research is pointing me towards Make, but with so much noise out there, it’s hard to say if that’s the best tool or not. I’m hoping you all can tell me if Make is my best option, or if I should be looking in another direction?

For example, the first task I’d like to automate is filing in our Google drive. I’d like an AI tool where I can upload a file, and it will not only place it where it belongs in our Google Drive, it will know when data from the file also needs to be logged elsewhere, like a Google sheet, and will do that task, too. Some other things on my wish list include text and email management / routing to the right volunteers, help with processing adoption / foster apps, help with logistics for things like events and pulling dogs, and social media posts and management.

I know this will take some setup work, but with that in mind, am I on the right track? Would this get expensive on Make with all I am trying to do? Is there anything else I should be mindful of?

Thank you all so much for your help!!

Finally entering bro territory!
