Drowning Crow Rescue - Crow? Raven? Rook? We save their life!

Crow Story - I looked outside to see a bird splashing in the water, which is normal, but this wasn't a water bird, it was a crow or a raven! Crows don't swim! I called my neighbor to rush over and we had a canoe in the water in about a minute. This poor rook had been trying really hard to take off and was just exhausted by the time we got there. We got it to shore and tried to dry him off and stop the shivering. We had it bundled in a towel and dried it off off camera, but ultimately thought the sun would be warmer on the black wooden table. We offered fresh water and a snack just in case it had any appetite. He soon perked up even more while slowly regaining strength. After about an hour and half, it gave a final shake and flew off the table. I know corvids are very smart birds. I hope this one comes back to visit some time.
While we have many crows in the area, I have not had anyone come to visit in any obvious way since then, but I am always hopeful.

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.

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! 👍🏻

[@robdude1969]

Awesome story.

[@carolflower8015]

Australian magpies too

[@magentamonster]

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.

@@magentamonster western Jackdaws are part of the Corvus family, Corvus Monedula I’m sure.

[@magentamonster]

@@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.

[@stormduchess3128]

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.

Lovely to see. Crows are often misunderstood and their place in nature. Besides, they're so fascinating and intelligent.

[@Renville80]

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.
