Can adult birds imprint on humans?
I just saw a youtube short of someone who took a wet crow into their home and dried it and fed it and the comments praising the person to the skies sort of rubbed me the wrong way, but I don't want to have any opinion based on lack of knowledge.
I know baby birds can imprint easily, and that it is irreversible. But can adult birds also imprint? I tried googling this but I didn't find any adult-specific results.
Did the person in the video do something bad, is what I wonder.
No but thay can shite on you
This is a captive bred juvenile, a baby that’s imprinted on humans. Not a returned, adult, wild bird but still cool and still adorable!
