Crows are extremely intelligent and can remember friendly and unfriendly faces. It will probably always recognize you, they even teach their young who their friends are 🙂
Indeed, years ago a young crow leaning to fly flew into my dad's window and got stunned. He carried the bird to a safer spot and now he's got a group of friendly crows. God help you if you're foolish enough to wear a cave man mask.near the local university though, they attack on sight due to research that was done on facial recognition in crows.
With the exhaustion, cold water , etc. I do wonder if it had a neurological impairment going on and that's why it took a while to recover. Kind of like brain fog. So glad it was saved.
Not only exhausted. He was freezing cold. His normal bodytemperature is somewhere close to 41 deg celcius. The water is probably close to 20 deg Celcius, and a long stay in the water will drain the heat from his tiny body very quickly.
I love crows! I pulled one out of our pool when I was kid. My sister and I dried him out with her hairdryer. He flew away afterwards. The rest of the summer we found little trinkets on our deck. Little pebbles and coins on our deck. We always wondered where they came from lol
It was a little surreal. But my sister and I did a good deed and saved the bird. Never thought he would return the favor by bringing gifts back to the exact same spot I pulled him out of the pool. I always wondered what happened to the crow? Hopefully had a long healthy life
That was likely the crow and their family. Crows will give gifts to those they remember are good people, as well as tell their family/friends about them
That’s a carrion crow. They are very intelligent and are generally solitary unlike rooks, and are bigger than magpies and jackdaws but smaller than ravens
The accent's American, I'm guessing the bird is too which means it's probably an American crow. No rooks or jackdaws in America either. There's a fish crow but they're less common and stick to the SE. of the USA.
There's a saying by Malcolm S. Forbes - “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”. That crow could offer you nothing in return but you rescued it anyway. Thank you.

My son is the softest person I know. He would stop to save a worm that is isolated on a driveway, and he tenderly takes spiders outside. However, he is also the hardest man I know. He loves a brutal fist fight with another willing fighter. Men are weird.
@@neonlights7607 they just do not need their food most likely. Nobody is scared of pigeons. Literally saw two crows beating up (one holding pigeon with claw) a pigeon, while pigeon crowd was watching from the other side of the road. Looked like ordinary day next to Harlem. Well, eating pigeons is nothing unique, so nothing to add here.
@@MrSpamaccount nah they come to me at noon everyday knowing that I'll put food out for them but the pigeons come and try to eat everything not letting others eat and the crows just wait there patiently to make me scare the pigeons away ... They're prolly trying to avoid unnecessary injuries from fighting since they know I will scare pigeons away at some point
Had two crows stuck in a football net this morning. Smart little buggers. (Apart from getting tangled😂.) They understand at some point that you are no enemy.
Conversely, they also function in the opposite, to where if a particular person is a threat or menace to them, they not only learn, but also pass the knowledge along to their offspring.
Similar story. I found a crow which had got one leg tangled in some garden string and was, effectively, tethered to the spot. It lay quite still while I untied the knots, and seemed to know I had kind intentions.
I'm sure that crow was very grateful! They're smart too, and they remember faces. So don't be surprised if one day that crow comes back to see you again. ❤
@@patriciarussell1177 If you do not know anything about towel restraint you shouldn't do it. The bird will find a spot to sunbathe to dry out the feathers away from humans.
Most people are kind. Some people yell louder and make it seem like there are more of them then us. When disaster strikes you see humans doing amazing things...most of us.
Ther are way more kind people in the world the terrible dont worry you just think there are more terrible people bc you always hear it en kind stuff you dont hear as much
@@Kirkee7 really? Then why do I have them leaving me gifts and following me when I go for walks? They most definitely make friends with humans who are kind to them. And they remember those who are not kind also.
You looked into the eyes of one of the most intelligent creatures on this planet. He looked into your eyes and saw a kindred spirit. Beautiful act of love. Thank you.
Not only did he rescue the crow, he spoke to him as sweetly as he would a friend.. What an utterly beautiful human being, bless you! And thank you! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Not only this bird will never forget you, I understand they are capable of passing this type of information to their offspring! Last I heard crows and ravens have the equivalent intelligence of a 3 to 5 yo human child.
Thank you all for your kind words of gratitude. I cannot believe all the views we received. I just hope that if any of you were in the same situation, you would do your best to help out where you can. FYI, we dried the bird with a towel just after getting out of the boat. Thanks again and cheers!
This is a beautiful story! So glad you found this crow and got to save him! I am sure he or she will be back to visit you! They are so intelligent and can be very grateful!
Watched again your crow rescue video! I think it was a young crow who attempted to fly over that water but was not strong enough yet to make it! So glad you found him in time! Did you ever see him again?
I recently found a little drowned baby opossum in my trash can that had filled w water...i cried for days about how terrorfilled he mustve been and where his mommy was...poor baby...thank you rescuing the bird...
I had a crow that liked me when I was in elementary school in 5th grade. I would always give him food and he always brought me gifts. Crows are not dumb they are quite intelligent animals. I'm happy to se you saved this one. He may come back to thank you.
I would guess you my receive "gifts" later from the grateful crow and/or family, friends. Looked like a fledgling. Super intelligent birds with strong social bonds.
Haha, wow! That crow just needed to get its body temperature up. I could see it was shivering most of the time it was on the table! I'm glad you managed to find this crow so that it could find its home again instead of a watery grave.
😂 Well I'm sure the guy wasn't thinking 'bout how he'd looked whilst rescuing this bird. He'd only time to grab his jacket 'n jump in the boat wearing socks he was likely walking 'round his house in.
The kindness that you showed to that crow in saving it from drowning.Shows the caring compassionate soul that you are.The world is a far better place with you in it.😇👼🙏🕊️
Crows are extremely intelligent birds & won't forget you, you'll definitely see it again. I rescued one many years ago, I still see him a couple of times a month. He brings gifts, it might be a bottle top, or a piece of string, he actually bought a piece of broken roof tile once, its not a thank you, crows often try to exchange, so he's just trying to get food🤣
@@honumoorea873 Children need meat to have proper brain development. Without meat, they'll grow-up to become brain-dead liberals. But your heart is in the right place. Meat like veal(baby cows) should be illegal. Eating baby cows is just evil.
Animals in need yes, at least those that suffer from human made problems and not being in the food chain thing like one animal hunting/eating the other to survive. Nature can take care of itself as 'helping' can also mean interfering or allowing some species to thrive while others suffer with often unpredictable and unwanted consequences like plagues and extinctions.
That’s a crow. There’s actually a difference, especially in the feathers. Ravens shine blue. That crow is shining white. Not to mention the tail feathers. Not meaning anything just thought to spread a little discovery a learned
I have experience with helping crows. I bet every time you now see a crow you have a smile on your face, as you remember your crow? That was that young crows gift to you for saving him, this gift will last a lifetime, I know. :-)
With all the crows around here, I always wonder if "my" crow will come back to visit... There is a huge congregation that meets up every evening around sunset near me - we always see them fly over heading to the oracle....
@@robdude1969 I bet one of those crows is your crow and he/she will remember the experience. However it does not matter which it is they are all your crows. :-)
@@tennisbum3686 They remember faces. They remember if you were good to them or bad and even pass it on to other crows. They remember faces at least up to five years. Incredible smart birds.
Very cool! I actually rescued a baby jackdaw months ago (smallest crow) from our local airport. No mother in sight for hours and he was likely to get killed by a plane or car. Raised him for 2 months. Hand fed every 25 mins. He now lives out in the wild in our area but comes home every single day for food, water and to chill on my shoulder for a while! It's a very amazing thing having an uncommon moment with a wild animal. Crows are also one of the few birds that remember faces and as I'm convinced, also when people are kind to them this not making them on guard around those who do be patient or kind. Treat any chance to help an animal like them or even see it unafraid of you for a moment as lucky! 👍🏻
Jackdaws are not crows. They are a separate genus Coloeus. And the crow in the video is a carrion crow (Corvus corone) not a rook (Corvus frugilegus). Rooks can be easily distinguished from other crows by their white bill. Also, Australian magpies (Gymnorhina tibicen), are actually butcherbirds, not corvids. I prefer to call them ground butcherbirds. The practice of calling ground butcherbirds magpies makes me cringe, because in the true sense of the word, a magpie is a long-tailed corvid and not necessarily black and white. Not every black and white songbird that has a corvid-like shape is a magpie. The pied crow (Corvus albus) is a black and white raven, and it looks more like the ground butcherbird and common magpie (Pica pica) than they look like each other. Ground butcherbirds are known to attack people by swooping. I hope that no one worries about corvid magpies swooping just because of a butcherbird with an incorrect name. Grey butcherbirds (Cracticus torquatus) also swoop. And it is clear from the way they look that Gymnorhina tibicen is closer to the grey butcherbird (or any other butcherbird, not including shrikes, I mean the Australasian butcherbirds) than to any actual magpie. I am Australian, and as such, I was raised to believe that magpie = Gymnorhina tibicen. When I saw depictions of real magpies, I thought that was a mistake and that they were showing another bird. The white belly of the magpie in Shawn the Sheep confused me, as did the long tail and partially blue, green and purple plumage of a magpie in a book. When I found out the truth, it was through the internet. I thought it was silly that they named the Australian magpie that. Why did they have to name it after a completely unrelated bird that wasn''t even similar? It really seems Eurocentric.
@@AB-qn9cs Jackdaws are sometimes treated as a subgenus of Corvus. And if they are, then the western jackdaw is Corvus monedula. If jackdaws are not part of Corvus, than the western jackdaw is Coloeus monedula. Even if jackdaws belong to Corvus, I don't think they are crows, because they would be the sister clade to the rest of Corvus, so only the member of Corvus that aren't jackdaws are crows. Also, of course crows and jackdaws belong to the family Corvidae, not matter which genus you put them in. Jays, treepies, piac piacs, nutcrackers, and choughs (excluding white-winged choughs; actually Corcoracidae) and magpies (excluding Australian magpies; actually Artamidae), all belong to Corvidae. Please note, however that taxonomic ranks are arbritary, with the possible exception of species for sexually reproducing organisms. This means that not every class can be compared to other classes, not every family can be compared to other families, etc. The class Aves can not be compared to the class Reptilia which contains it, it is actually more accurate to compare it to a reptilian family, such as Alligatoridae. How is my judgement any less arbritary than taxonomic ranks? Well, I base it on the time each clade evolved. Reptiles obviously predate birds by a significant amount. In fact, they are 13/3, or around 4.33 times the age of birds. How can you call them both classes when one of them is more than 4 times the age of the other? Is an ancestor 4 times your age a member of your generation? I very much doubt that birds would have been given their own class if it weren't for creationism. Early taxonomists like Linnaeus were creationists, they didn't think clades above the rank of genus (note that their genuses tend to be around family rank today) evolved. The original purpose of the genus rank was to separate groups that evolved from a common ancestor, that was created rather than evolving. So they thought that the very first member of each genus gave rise to the rest of the genus, but it never evolved from any other organism. No wonder, then, that scientific names of species depend on genera. That if an organism's genus is controversial, it makes it's scientific name controversial. Even though genera really don't mean anything.
You are such a wonderful human! Thank goodness you noticed this little guy and were able to save it. Crows are so smart and recognize both good and bad behavior from humans. I have two crows that have visited for years. They show up as a team every morning and throughout the day. They let me know they're waiting for food by making their crow calls. I wouldn't be surprised if this little guy returns to pay you some visits. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. The world needs more people like you.
I saved the dove like that on Christmas about eight years ago she ate out of my hand just literally 30 minutes within catching her. I named her Ginger I really loved that bird. It's a great honor to win the respect and Trust of a wild creature❤
@@annramer2826 Your son is still with you just on the other side. I have the feeling you can sense him, love never dies. I died of a heart attack and since they brought me back I can see spirits. How nice that you are part of one of the old religions. We have entered the Age of Aquarius and you will help change the world as we know it.
I love crows, you take care of them ,they take of you. I recently moved and the new place ,neighborhood came with a group of crows. They keep the hawks out . They are fed and watered. For me they leave me little gifts of gratitude 💕. And the pleasure of having them near . So sweet! Thank you for saving animals . ❤️ I rescue , transport and network all animals. ❣️🐾🐦
Birds of the genus Corvus, and particularly crows, are among the most intelligent animals on the planet. They recognize faces and remember them for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this bird comes back to say hi some day.
The Crow are among the three most intelligent animals. And this one will pass it's memory about you for generations to come. And your place in the afterlife is assured if there ever is any justice in this world.
It’s a young child! She must have been flying over the water and then fell and couldn’t get up because her wings got wet and were too heavy. Freezing 🥶 he must have been floating for a while. Poor thing was exhausted! You were her Angel 😇 and saved her that day! 🙏
Yes, crows are very smart. I once dated the local “crazy crow lady”. The crows liked her and followed her around town. It was strange, almost magical. But they protected her once when someone got mad and yelled at her. You may very well see this fella again
You were so kind. Thank you for saving the beautiful bird. I can’t understand why you got any dislikes. How could anyone dislike the fact that a lovely creature was saved. Thank you again.
My crows really like scrambled eggs with salmon. That would have perked him up very quickly. Great rescue. My rescue told his offspring and when they have babies they come for quick meals of bread.
My Grandmother gave them spaghetti once and it puzzled the hell out of them. They must have thought they found some huge worms. She puts food out for the wild kangaroos and birds... she makes special trips to town to get feed just for them ❤️
The ravens and jackdaws I feed love cheese. The jackdaws walk along my window ledge to let me know they're there. The ravens wait on the tree outside my house and follow me to the supermarket and back. Corvids are so clever. One of the jackdaws brought their young to my window earlier this year. Either proudly showing me the baby or showing the baby I was a source of food. Perhaps both. Interesting birds to watch.
I’m sat with my crow now, he sees me several times a day. They are beautiful, intelligent and protective. I have a lot of love for corvids. I loved this rescue, thank you for capturing it so we can see there is still kindness and humanity in this world.
At times, their ‘misunderstood’ reputation is justified. On a trip a while back, I watched a crow swoop down into a marsh where some red winged blackbirds were nesting, and take off a few seconds later with a hatchling in its beak and the adults in hot pursuit.
Just needed to rest, with peace and quiet. Sometimes they fight in the sky or another bird sideswiped him and he fell into the water in shock.it was so nice to see him get him self back together again. I'd always leave a plate of food for him incase he comes back.Nice job.
Слезы жалости и слезы радости,смешались у меня....Как повезло пташке,что рядом оказался отзывчивый и добрый человек.Добро возвращается.Берегите животных и природу.
Может. А может бандит!🤔😁 Бывает видим как вороны ( в основном серые) нападают на чаек , что бы рыбу отобрать ! Чайки хитрые , уходят от них пикируя на воду , а вот вороны не всегда уворачивается и падают в воду.☝️🤔🤔
Thank you for saving this crow. You were patient with it, giving it time to recover and allow time for his wings to dry. I bet he will be back to visit you and bring his family and friends as gratitude. 😃❤️
This bird is so lucky as it was so close to drowning, and this wonderful man was so careful and gentle from the moment of lifting the exhausted bird from the water to watching over him as his feathers dried. A beautiful feel good video.😊❤
Your act of rescuing the young crow from the water was truly commendable and heartwarming to witness, and it's truly remarkable to see the crow make a full and complete recovery.
I know this was more than a year ago. But he looks really young. If he hasn’t visited you, has he left you trinkets? I hope he survived. I love ❤️ crows.
I realize this was a year ago Did this crow or raven thank you the rescuer at all He wasn’t a pet but animals wild or otherwise do respond unexpectedly
@@wellthen4948 he looks like a young adult or teenage birb. He still has a small body, but his lips are darkened and his feathers seem like 90% fully grown, though that could be due to the water. He also lacks scars which small sized adult crows would have lots of, so I'm pretty sure he just left the end of his fledgling stage months before the video took place.
I'm watching this three years after the fact but it's true that the crow will never forget your act of kindness. It will appear and sit and stare at you totally unafraid because it's memory is clear.
That was amazing. Crows are very intelligent birds he or she will come back to visit. It also could start bringing you little trinkets to show his or her appreciation
Hi, I live in England and as a kid growing up ( I'm 73 now ) the old farm workers used to tell us " if you see a rook by himself that's a crow and when you see a bunch of crows together they're rooks." God bless you sir for being so gentle and humane with this gentle creature. You, sir, are a gentleman.
