Feeding ham or sausage is fine in moderation, it does contain a lot of salt tho which can be harmful for the birds same goes for cheese btw. A better alternative would be cutting small pieces nut sized of fresh, unseasoned meat from the butcher and either giving it to them raw or cooking it beforehand.
While it is true that crows can eat roadkill or eat straight out of a dumbster I would still advise against feeding spoiled meat.. You miss the big picture worrying too much about your own self from your extremely limited and biased point of view and fail to appreciate your place in and amongst the cosmos as a whole. They would certainly be far more justified in doing so, but being the noble creatures they are they hold no grudge, cast no blame about, and allow us to carry on being the oblivious and destructive beings we naturally are.
Crows are my friends. I like crows and like three people. Thank you so much for the original post on what they like to eat. Crows are super intelligent, humorous and take care of each other.

Please advise your recommendations. Hi Mike! I am in Minnetonka. I started feeding crows dog food pellets last year when the schools across the street from me shut down. I also provide a dish basin of fresh water not in the winter.
A small group of birds visit me once or twice a day. Sometimes they eat- and sometimes they only stop by to say hello. They are less of a nuisance than the geese at the school. During the pandemic they have made my days brighter. Had a crow feed in my dry composting area. Decided to leave a bowl of the better stuff in it.
Fed it for 5 months, but it never gave me anything back. Stopped doing the bowl thing. However, 2 months on it started leaving corn cobs as payment.
Now, we are back to the bowls. Within 2 min the bird flew to the edge of the garbage can, jumped across the can, jumped on the ground walked around the can jumped up on can edge, back to ground, jumped yo edge teetered then went for the bait. Young pulled the string and bam! My next meal…….. When I held the bird in my hands we tied the string used to trap the food theif to its ankle and let it go……..
I never wanted to kill the bird just teach it a lesson. Me too Sarah.
