How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows?
A family of corvids built their nest right by my door. I've enjoyed seeing their nest grow, and I think the babies are now full fledglings.
Up until now, we've each been going out separate ways. Aside from leaving them some sticks to use, I haven't interacted with them directly.
Today I either closed the door too hard, or they got spooked by the garbage truck passing by. A crow dive bombed me twice, hitting me the first time and whooshing by me the second time. It didn't hurt, but I'm offended that they don't remember me.
I know crows can hold a vendetta and remember faces. Any tips on how to get back in their good graces?
edit: I looked into giving them food, but it's against the bylaws in my city

A Vancouver resident who admittedly loves feeding the crows in his neighbourhood is now facing a major fine.
According to Reddit user DubUbasswitmyheadman, they’ve been feeding birds while walking their dog.
However, they claim that feeding the wildlife irritated enough people to prompt one neighbour to contact their landlord to collect their email and phone number.
DubUbasswitmyheadman now claims they are facing a $4,000 fine for feeding wildlife.
