Tips for befriending some crows/ravens?

[u/PenilePulverizer]

If it matters at all, I'm in rural Minnesota.

All I know about this sorta thing is that it can help to give them a platform, they like peanuts, and I've heard that you can deter other animals from taking the peanuts by coating them in chili powder, but I'm not 100% sure about that one.

No particular reason I want to do this other than I like crows and ravens, and the idea of befriending a wild animal is cool.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

I whistle shake a fist full of dog kibble and throw it on the ground. Then I whistle and point while looking at the crow and the food.
