Like the over 1000 Ravens I saw at the Grand Canyon camping pretty close to my families camp site. We left them alone. I did saw hi and did not bother them. Mostly out of not wanting to get fucked up by 1000 of them it was pretty awkward just seeing them all and them ignoring humans while humans ignoring them. Just regular being enjoying the Grand Canyon together.
Right, like that's the main idea everything else while interesting was fluff or situations you don't see the bird actually but yes sir Raven bigger lol
Got bigass... raven/crows in Australia. They sound like "AauGGHH aughhh Awoouuughh" quite deep. Abd have a fluffy neck like a raven but sound like a deep crow and are big. I think theyre ravens but i dunno :\
@@cheesypiesThe ones you're talking about are Forest Ravens, yea. We have only two very small crow species. But everyone is wrong about this and repeating mistruths. The only way to tell is the number of pin feathers on their wings. The size thing may be true to an area but is not true across the family.
Man: "Boop!" *boops crow* Crow: "Caw!" Man: "Boop!" *boops crow* Crow: "Caw!" Man: "Boop!" *boops crow* Crow: "I said, 'CAW' dang it! What do you want from me human?!" 😄
Not to mention their tail feathers when flying. Crows have a slightly rounded tail when flying as where a Raven's tail is tapered and mroe diamond shaped.
Didnt really mention a whole lot of helpful info to ID these guys, just wordy and cute while telling us very little. Also pretty difficult to tell the differences he mentioned unless you're sitting there watching them for 30 minutes.
The amount of positive language in this video fills me with joy. Crows and ravens get so much bad rep for being "vermin", "mischievous" and a "bad omen", but they're such beautiful and intelligent creatures! I'm so grateful to share a space with them. There's so many crows here!!
they have the intelligence of a 7 year old human. they remember faces and they hold grudges. awesome animals. i always say hi to ANY bird i see, that way, i can always say i was nice to them.
I always get freaked out when it's mid to late fall and the crows start congregating in large parking lots! Lol.. I always think of Alfred Hitchcock's, "The Birds"!!
There is an easier way: When in flight, ravens have a diamond shape at the end of their tail. The tail feathers on crows run straight across the width of the tail.
That's the quickest way I've found to tell the difference. Behavioral differences too. Ravens don't form big flocks. Raven can soar like hawks. Crows usually just flap along. Total subjective here. But if you see a crow you might thing wow or cool. With a raven you say damn! Even more subjective. Ravens give a since of presence. You can't ignore them. You can understand why native cultures believed they were there at the beginning. Or that they were the far ranging eyes of Odin
Love them both...such incredible birds, a crow flew off with my car keys and kept teasing he finally came back and dropped them next to me, what a treat
@@Hælos.Ezequiel😂😂 100% watched a video of a 10yo that was feeding some crows with a bird feeder. Over the course of the weeks they dropped things like coins, rocks, their lost camera lens cover, and few other small things they lost in the backyard, a few marbles. She has a few large tray containers of the stuff they gave. Reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons with homer and the crows, they love homer but hate marge.😂
Always be polite to crows. They remember faces and they hold grudges. They can also recognize that your vehicle belongs to you and shit on it for fun.🤣
Not to mention some corvids are even using fire to their advantage now! It's crazy how smart these birds are compared to other animals...and they have the advantage of having the high ground!
Always be polite to corvids. The whole family has this trait. And they are quite able to describe you to friends and family, so soon there will be a gang of birds hassling you for your slight to one. The professor who studied this was astonished at the number of enemies he made by being nasty to one bird.
They are so smart!! Last year i found a crow and nursed him/her back to health!! After that I let him free !! I honestly didn't know that they where so smart!!! Love and Kiss from me from the Netherlands
They are both fascinating birds. I have a family of crows that come visit me frequently, and they have an "Amazing" lang sound, that they speak to each other . They always bring their new young to my house to have some unsalted peanuts 🥜 that I give them. Fascinated by them! ❤
I fed a family of crows for about a year- one appeared on my porch pecking at my door - and I just got the idea to give it something that they would eat (I looked it up online to be sure) and I took it to the hill. They would follow me everywhere I walked- even miles away to the store and would wait for me. They made me feel not so alone in this world. I actually had to move and I still miss them.
My wife, God bless her, had animal friends everywhere we ever lived. From ducks to cats to squirrels. They would come to door or window and call for her. Animals know who the good people are
@@nuntana2 I still think about them often and miss them so much. They followed me anywhere I walked. Once I got caught in a rainstorm and 2 of them stayed with me, even in the rain. Very loyal and loving souls.
Flashbacks to the time I saw a Raven fly up pretty high to dive bomb while spinning a little to just steal a fry from another Raven, bro had a whole outro planned 💀💀💀💀
Try and see if you can find the territory of a mated pair near you during nesting season- that way you know you’re interacting with the right birds, and roughly where to find them. You can tell because they’re always together, without the rest of the flock.
@@kristenvincent3622 Not quite. The Alalā is extinct in the wild. And I'm not sure about that other crow but in my 50 years of life, I've never seen a crow on any of the 5 islands I've frequented.
@@SeanShimamotothey may have been eradicated, they were a large part of the decline of the native crow, there are some attempts to re-establish them in the wild (I lost the link) but the primary issue seems to be hawks now. 😢
A cat was crawling out a limb of the elm outside my window towards a sparrows' nest full of babies. Five sparrows dive bombed the cat, to no effect. Two flew away and returned with two blue jays. The jays dive bombed the cat only twice, then flew away. The cat inched closer to the nest, in between the sparrows' dive bombs. Suddenly two crows appeared. One landed on the limb about 18" in front of the cat. The second landed maybe a foot behind the first. I could almost hear the one in front say, " Hi, kitty." Then I almost heard the cat say, " Oh, sorry! Wrong tree!" as it backed away and finally jumped down & ran.
Nature documentary right there. Evidently when crows get in big enough groups (murders) they'll mob or even kill bird predators like hawks. 2 crows couldnt really hurt a cat much. But they could sure make him miserable. Looks like that cat has had run ins with crows before
@@michaelburk9171 I gave this story to a corvid researcher and it really intrigued him. When the sparrows came back with the bluejays, I thought, "Oh, they brought the cops!" (Because back in The Day we remarked on the similarities.) But what I didn't understand was how the crows knew exactly where they were needed. Now I think they all know everything and it's humans who are stupid.
I've never heard anyone describe in such a wonderful positive way. I love their cheekiness and the way the colours of their feathers are seen under a certain type of sunlight. Its a pity it can't be seen more often. Its more magnificent than the peacocks colours. It kind of reminds me of seeing the colour of spoilt oil in water.
I live in nature, but crows are fascinating and incredibly smart. I love learning more about them watching them in nature. They always call on each other when tgey see me outside with the same safety vest. They recognize faces and looks.
I adore crows! Every place I’ve worked at I start feeding the crows and they become so loyal and friendly with me. My newest job site I have crows and sparrows who call out to me when they wake ( I get there at 3:45 so they are still snuggled in their nests for a bit.
I saw a juvenile raven once while shopping. I thought it was a small crow at first, but then it called and it sounded like a frog, so I'm pretty sure it was a raven. Really cool! Also, let's just appreciate how positive he is about both birds. You can tell he really appreciates them (:
I raised a Raven. She has stayed around. Never caged, clipped or tethered. Started a RU-vid channel if you are interested in some of our interactions. MISS CASH is the experience and Blessing of my lifetime!
I have two flocks of crows at my work. I call all the birds' Shadow because when im on my golf cart, I'll randomly see a crow shadow following me around. I feed them pretty much every day. They just come and get me, and I'll feed them. One of them can whistle! Im always whistling at them, and one day, one of them whistled back at me in a perfect parroting of my whistle. I was so shocked that i just froze, lol. I had no idea they could do that. I love those crows
Few days ago I was sitting down in the corner of my terrace and heard a crow voice so close I thought it was on the roof of the house but a little further away. I turned my head to up left n saw the crow on the roof literally an inch away from my shoulder. I got shocked but didn't freak out or got up. It cawed a few times, looked around n didn't fly away even when I move my head or hand. I purposely moved slow so that it wouldn't freak out n fly away. S/he chilled around a bit n finally got further away from me by itself. I get encounter with them a lot when I go to my terrace especially at evening or around 6 to 9 AM in the morning. They're not getting afraid n fly away if I don't move fast or try to get closer to them no matter when I see them so I just enjoy the little time they stay near me. They're icredible creatures I love them.
If you look at their throats, the Raven has long feathers hanging down in a majestic pattern. Unmistakable. And at a distance, the tail feathers are shaped differently.
The fact that I, as a bird fanatic and lover of any bird no matter the bird, stumbled across a positive video about both crows and ravens while also addressing their differences makes me unbelievably happy !!!!
I've long wanted to make wild crows or ravens my friends. Go outside, visit, watch them do their thing. Possibly bring them the birb snacks they love. It would be great
