Back in the mid 60s ,A friend of mines uncle used to plow his fields with a horse and plow rig, the crows would follow behind him and eat the various bugs that were unearthed by the plow. He would guide the horse by making clicking type noises from his mouth, one time when he went inside to relieve himself and stopped at the sink to wash his hands, looking out the window above the sink, he noticed the horse was moving not standing and waiting for him, there was one of the crows, standing on the plow handle mimicking the clicking noises he would make to get the horse moving 😂

My children had a book that described these four crows that the family had as pets. After I learned about Crow's personalities and their intelligence, I decided to say hello to the crows at my job one morning. I would go to a Priest's house to take care of him. For some reason, There was a huge group of crows that lived on that road and they would congregate in the tall pine trees of his yard. I got out of the car and looked up at all the crows and I said good morning to them, and hello, and I sang to them a little bit. They all answered me and focused their attention on me. I went into the house and was working inside the house. The whole group of crows or part of the group came into the backyard and up near the back door which was a breezeway door. They called to me. So, I threw a bunch of cracker crumbs and bread crumbs out on the lawn for them. The Priest told me to not do that anymore as he didn't want them all in his yard or to expect me to do this everyday for them. So I didn't do it again. But, I really enjoyed interacting with the crows and I was delighted at how friendly they were to me.

That was a great closing wherein you said crows remember the faces of people who have done them wrong as well as the faces who are kind to them and give them treats. I know this to be true with blue jays as well (another bird that gets a bad rap from humans that do not really know them at all). The eight blue jays in the park near to where I live absolutely like me. I've been feeding them daily through this harsh northeastern winter and they call to me as soon as they see me, one tips my hat with his wing, then sits on the closest branch to my shoulder, murmurs very soft talk while bobbing near my shoulder and I give him (and all of them) almonds (excellent winter food). I tell them they are beautiful and smart birds (I get some strange looks from people but I ignore most people anyway) and they twist their heads, fly closer down the tree to me and stare at me. This can go on for almost an hour until some noisy kids or people blabbing on cell phones get too close. Then the blue jays fly away. But they come back the next day as soon as they see me. I just love them and they know it.

Loved the video and thanks for making and sharing. I lived on the Oregon coast for quite a while and had my share of "crow buddies." I've always liked crows because I recognized their curiosity and intelligence early on. This was in the city (Albuquerque) and I always kept them in the back of my mind. Maybe it's because I'm half Chupik Eskimo, but I have alwas felt a bond with all non-human creatures; dogs and cats especially, but also crows, ravens and snakes. In Oregon, my first "crow buddies" were a pair with a "yung-un" that started watching me durring my lunch at the lumber yard. It was obvious they knew I had something they might like. They grew bolder in the following days and I started feeding them bits of my lunch. It was pretty cool. They started to wait for me at the door that let out to the employee parking lot and precede me to my car where I ate. At this place of employment, they eventually hired a kid of about 19. This kid would eventually hurt a crow and show me how strong their web of communication was. On a Friday afternoon in late summer, this brash young kid took it into his head that he ought to try and bean one of the crows with a rock. I told him to quit being an ass, but he was young enough to know everything and carried on. He ended up pegging one hard in the wing, breaking the bone. I was furious and heart-broken. The poor thing was going to die. The other crows in the area, upon hearing the injured cries of this crow started in with cries that brought other crows who joined in. Their cries brought more... and more... and more! Pretty soon - 3 minutes at most - most of the trees and power lines were covered with crows causing a cacophony that was unreal and a bit frightening! I asked the kid if he was proud of what he'd done, and he replied, "No, man. This is just fucked up." I agreed and told him to remember how one stone can cause such a clatter and that even crows talk to each other. He was pretty shaken by that knowledge, I can tell you. At my next place of employment, I met two more. They were a cool couple and we wiled away my lunches amiably enough. They ate and squirreled away what the didn't eat immediately in the embankment of the highway grasses. I never quite got one to eat out of my had, but eventually got one to perch on the hood of my car and wait for a treat. Such interesting creatures! I just love their curiosity. Anyway I'm back in Albuquerque and it's harder to latch on to a crow in the city. Too many other offers of meals and, I'm sure, a wariness of humans who generally don't appreciate their curiosity and wiles. I still hope to earn the trust of one of these wondrous creatures in this land of distrust. I hope I'm worthy of their curiosity. ;-)

There are a number of crows near my city's main library. As soon as I come near, they know it, and as soon as I put food on the ground, they call their family and friends, about 15-20 all told. I also know a crow family of 3 which I believe consists of parents and offspring. I always keep a few peanuts for them.

No lie, I feed them before I go to work, and as soon as I pull up in my car, when I’m back, they squawk at each other, as if to say she’s back! So I usually give them a bit more food! 😂😂

The vet said its illegal to keep them but people do and he may never fly again so hes going to be a great pet. I said theyre not putting him down and we'll look after him. Best thing ive done, hes happy in his avery and very healthy now. He calls me over and we talk , theyre incredibly intelligent and very beautiful birds . We'd be lost without him around, he picks on the dogs and the cat.

I have seen more than 3000 in Cornwall,ontario, and recently, for more than an hour, in Watertown,NY groups after groups flocking to the same resting area, probably 5000 or even more.

Something really interesting just happened a few minutes ago. I have 5 new grackles, they're Zorro's kids, and they've been hanging out in my palm tree. Zorro was the big male who sang me the jazz riff last year that I used in a song I wrote. His kids have talen a liking to the palm tree, and I give them fruit and nuts as well as water every day. This morning, Miles was trying to get a piece of apple that was wedged under the water pan. He found a small stick and used it to dislodge the piece of apple. This was very much like Betty the crow in New Caledonia on the KZbin video. Since grackles are corvids, and related to crows, this is not a huge surprise, but it was awesome to witness such a thing in my own front yard. Miles is growing like a weed, he's very bold and brave. I think he's going to be an alpha, and possibly a Chief. I named him after Miles Davis, and I hope he turns out to be a great musician just like his Dad, Zorro. The fun never ends with these critters, does it? Love and respect Hats off and CHEERS!!!

I used to have a dog that loved to play with the crows. We would tell the dog to "get the chickens" and he'd good naturedly run outside and gallop around hopping at the sky chickens barking playfully while the crows would swoop and dive at him. It seemed like they all loved this amazingly fun game that they all acted like was the most fun they'd ever had in their lives. We would just shake our heads like they were the dopiest animals alive because at that moment, they kinda were. God I loved those animals.

One summer morning, as the sun was rising, a group of crows made a tremendous amount of noise in the trees in our yard. My wife got up and looked out the window to see a bear in our yard. We think the crows were harassing the bear. We’ve had many bears in our yard over the years but never harassed by crows. I wonder if that particular bear was one that the crows didn’t like.

I remember the first time i saw a Raven, in the uplands above Pott Shrigley, Cheshire. It was brilliant, but not as good as when i went looking for Choughs, (those birds of the brilliant, downcurved blood-red bill and legs that are on tthe shire crest of Cornwall, but are, as everywhere, sadly scarce) on the island of Anglesey, or Ynys Mon as it is in Welsh. On the way to the lighthouse (no Virginia Woolf pun) where they are seen ( you have to travel to secluded coastal places to see them) i scared two in a field and this time as they flew off i nearly wet myself/ crashed the car into a looming hedgerow. Best corvid ever. Well worth while, though that looming hedge is irksome in many nightmares since.

If you want to find Crow's nest it is like sailors observed, they are at the very top of the tree. It is hard to observe them because of leaves on the trees at the time of egg laying.

That was great. Thanks for sharing. I have some Crow youngsters that hang out in my backyard, esp around 5pm. We had a snake event yesterday and once my heart rate went down, I noticed there were ma y gathered in the tree just above me, watching and perhaps cheering me on in getting the snakes to move along.

Lesley, thank you for this and your other wonderfully informative posts. I'm just starting to feed and observe crows in my yard. The calls in the video are definitely going to be helpful to me in hopefully understanding them to some extent. The other info is extremely helpful also. I really love the crows and want to learn as much as possible about them. I also hope to be fortunate enough to have some sort of relationship with them. I think they're starting to trust me somewhat. They recognize me now and actually look me in the eye. I know crows do this kind of thing, but it's amazing to experience it personally. I used to do a lot of dog rescue and am used to being around smart animals, but these crows are full of surprises. I'm keeping a journal. Very excited about this experience. So thanks again for your invaluable help.

where i live theres a lot of smaller song birds like bluejays and woodpeckers. not only do the crows here caw and croak, they also chirp and trill, and use different combinations of them.

+Lorna D Hahaha, too cute right?! Love them guys. Crows are very vocal, and I was surprised to when I heard all the other types of calls they make, I just thought they made "caw caw" and that was sit, lol. Thanks for watching

this was very well made with a nice overview and some great footage. I really have a thing for crows. I've owned a few birds before but crows seem to have way more personality than the ones I had. makes me want to go out and try to befriend one in my area.

+hicore Hello, thanks for the nice comment, really happy that you enjoyed the video :) I know what you mean by crows having lots of personality. They are the funnest birds I've known out in the wild. So full of character, and they are super smart too. Hope you end up befriending one, try using some peanuts for feeding.
