My lovely neighbors. I started to play some role in their live, they recognize me, and even come upon seeing me, indicating that i am not just annoying "homo sapiens" pest. Gives a LOT of joy to my heart.

[@studybread2.0]

My brother said that he saw a hawk grab a little crow the other day, but a bunch of other crows started attacking the hawk and it eventually released the smaller crow. They're really amazing animals

[@peteby485]

In Ireland we call that bird a hooded rook and they are some of the smartest birds around and friendly if your willing to put the time into getting to know them . But also very very beautiful and magical.

You are a wealth of knowledge. I have great amounts of patience. I am now very observant and I am listening to them “speak” when I am outside. Familiarizing myself with their distinct sounds. At this point they all sound very similar. With your very detailed help I will try with the crows when it gets warmer outside. We’re still in the middle of winter in Canada!

[@garywickham5223]

I live in the United States (Oregon ). I’ve been feeding crows for a while, and the male crow, the biggest one will perch on my deck, corner post, and caw at me, if I haven’t brought him out food and he’s looking right in my bedroom window. If I’ve already put out some peanuts and other treats, he won’t do it. I love your videos keep up the good work.👍🏼🩷

[@chasestewart8619]

From Tennessee, I was only used to black crows. I went to Italy for 3 weeks & saw these hooded crows. Absolutely beautiful. I loved to watch them.

[@jounikorhonen9441]

In Finland this is called "Varis". The all-black raven is called "Korppi" and the Eurasian magpie is called "Harakka", that smaller, flocking pest of a corvid (monedula) is called "Naakka".

[@howler6490]

Growing up in Scotland, I knew 2 types of crow, carrion and hoodie. These lovely birds in the video I have since learned to call "pied crows". Scottish "hoodies" were bigger in body and had a quite distinct grey head...hence hooded. These were rated as "dangerous to young" by farmers and were shot quite often if lamb numbers justified the cartridge expense. They were quite sinister in appearance...big, brooding birds, always watching. The carrion crow was the more social, the joker, the interacting bird. Always taking a chance if there was a reward to be had.As for jackdaws stealing glitter, we had a carrion crow called gary as he didn't respond to challenges with food as targets but as soon as it was a cheap,shiny item, he was into it... Wholesale! Great beasties to play around with and to learn from...

[@irenewohlfahrt4067]

Really enjoying your videos! "My" crows are also a pair of hooded crows. I have been feeding them ever since the male, "Bolek", tried to steal my breakfast off the table on my boat while I was below deck. I shared some with him, and he has been coming to visit ever since. He soon brought his mate "Lolek". So in a way, they chose me to spend time with. Lolek is more trusting and takes treats out of my hands, while Bolek is the clever one who will open boxes and pull up strings with treats on them. Last year, they brought their one surviving chick "Junior" out to my boat to be fed. He (or she) was so cute during that talking-to-themselves phase that the youngsters have. Looking forward to them bringing this year's babies to visit. Greetings from Tegelort!

Currently living in Germany (going to University of Tübingen actually haha) and I’ve been missing the pair of ravens that hang out around my home in the US. I’m much more used to ravens but I’ve been wanting to befriend the crows I’ve seen around here. So glad you’re putting out this information!

[@_charwyn]

In my area hoodies live nearby a huge park which is inhabited by a pair of ravens. Some of the local crows mimic ravens almost to perfection, maybe sounding just a LITTLE rougher and with less pronounced bass. One day i went out for a walk and went looking for a raven singing nearby. It turned out to be a hoodie!

[@KrariTheCrow]

Wow, very interesting!

[@JasonTheRed]

Where I live (Pacific NW if the US) we have the black crow. I have been feeding and interacting with the couple families for about 3 years. There’s one that tends to hang around, near to me. Often getting into mischief-opening bags, rolling over rocks etc. They even attacked a family of Raccoons that attacked my dogs! There is one that mimics a cats meow…funniest sound ever

[@KrariTheCrow]

They are so funny ans entertaining to watch!

[@minzyfox2596]

I have started befriending my local hooded crows. the best hobby I've ever had

[@GreakFTW]

I have a pair of hooded crows living in my garden, which are really defensive off cats and other small animals. If cats enter, they will watch them constantly, very often fly over them pecking and chasing them away. However they are very loud and sometimes screaming for hours, can become annoying after a while, they usually shut up if I shout or talk loudly to them. If that doesnt work I resort to mimicking one of their calls which I believe is for danger, that shuts them up.

[@user-wu1xe3rh2b]

I have two pet rescue hooded crows and they both learn to mimick not only my parrots but my dogs. I don't think I've ever heard of a crow BARK They are amazing animals.

[@meandyou2046]

The crows near LAX mimic so many different birds you'd swear you're in a rain forest but when you look around all you'll see are Crows. Beautiful birds and they know who your are so if you harass them you should expect to be bombarded with a daily deuce every time they see you

The 'American' crows that live in our area provide an important service. They seem to really dislike raptors (such as Bald Eagles and hawks) and will vocalize to each other when such a bird is on the hunt nearby. It's very helpful for us when we take our six pound Papillon out for a poop. I hadn't thought of trying to make friends with them. Might be a good idea?

[@christinegallina123]

Thank you for this very informative video. Hooded crows are indeed intelligent, have a very good memory and pass their knowledge on from one generation to the next. I also live in Berlin, and have made friends with a good many crows. That is to say, they recognize me when I walk the 3km to my garden and back every day. They are very territorial in spring and summer, so I know exactly which crow has just landed in front of me and is waiting for a peanut

[@tgviews2301]

That sounds like an enjoyable walk to me.

[@zetectic7968]

In the British Isles, Hoodies are common in Ireland and Scotland, you don't get them in England or Wales. I am in the South, so it is Magpies & Jackdaws around town and crows & Rooks in the countryside. Don't have much woodland/small forest near me so have not seen a Jay (Garrulus glandarius) in a long time. Thanks for sharing this 😀 Crows are certainly not "bird brained", they are good at solving puzzles.

[@DamitryProkopchuk]

In my native city of Kyiv most crows are of this hooded type. As a child I thought that hooded crows are simply magpies that dirtied their white parts :) Only later I understood that this is a different type of bird. I try to feed hooded crows in parks when I get an opportunity, but, like all crows, they are much more careful and shy than other species of birds.

[@fraukehahn]

Total interessanter und toll gemachter Beitrag- mit so schönen Aufnahmen! Vielen Dank! Seit ich deine Videos sehe, schaue ich den Nebelkrähen hier viel aufmerksamer zu. Bei uns im Garten kommen seit Jahren Krähen zum Trinken an die Wasserschalen oder um zu schauen, ob was aus dem Futterhäuschen gefallen ist. Eine von ihnen erkenne ich seit ca. 2 Jahren leicht wieder: ihr fehlt der rechte Fuß! Es geht ihr offenbar gut, sie humpelt nur ein bisschen auf ihrem stumpfen Beinchen. Ich habe nun vor einiger Zeit angefangen, regelmäßig Walnüsse und Katzenleckerli- Sticks auf einen Untersetzer auf dem Rasen zu legen. Inzwischen wird alles immer sehr schnell „abgeholt“. Es scheint, 3 Krähen kommen jetzt immer öfter vorbei und halten Ausschau, ob es Nachschub gibt. Vorgestern hörte ich um 6.00 Uhr seltsames Flügelschlagen aus dem Garten und als ich nachsah, war die Krähe (Stumpi…) in meinem Fahrradkorb damit beschäftigt, sich Walnüsse herauszuholen. Ich ging raus, um ihr noch einen Leckerli-Stick zu bringen und siehe da: Sie hüpfte ganz cool nur wenige Hüpfer von mir weg und als ich mich umdrehte, holte sie sich den Stick. - Vielleicht klappt‘s ja doch noch mit dem Sich- Näherkommen ;-) Dankeschön für die Anregungen! P.S. Ich finde total putzig, wie Krähen manchmal ihre Federn am Kopf hochstellen und dadurch besonders keck und imponierend aussehen.

[@KrariTheCrow]

Hallo Frauke, danke für deine Worte! Das klappt sicher mit dem Näherkommen bei dir! Ihr kennt euch ja schon zwei Jahre! Und deine gefiederte Freundin Stumpi freut sich sicher sehr über deine Unterstützung! Das sind prima Vorraussetzungen um sich näher zu kommen. Ich würde einfach mal dabei bleiben wenn sie frisst. Also mich in der Nähe hinsetzen und sie mit der Zeit näher heranlocken mit dem Futter.

When i go out biking, there's almost always this one crow flying past me and waiting on road side. The crow knows i am going to give peanuts.

[@Hallands.]

We call the hooded crow simply "crow" in Denmark because it is by far the most common crow. We have a large population of rooks which are black with a metallic sheen, have a bald beak and are slightly bigger, but those are considered rooks, not crows. The raven is rare. So the much rarer carrion crow, as compared to the hooded crow, is called the black crow accordingly…

I am trying to befriend a school of hooded crows in my cemetery and it is going well. They sometimes make these low soft vocalisations while bowing toward me.

Have you thought about uploading uncut clips of the various crows playing with whatever toys you put out for them? If they go away and come back after 10 minutes you can cut that but otherwise just uncut videos of them investigating this new strange object

[@mir22cat]

In european part of Russia, the hooded crow (vorOna) is one of dominating bird species in cities, pushed by jackdaws in smaller cities. * They pasture their large not flying youngsters leaved their nest, parents fly over head and attack humans passing by the youngster (people sometimes don't see the chick and are afraid of "aggressive crows", though it's enough to pass by faster away from the chick). * H.crows eat stone-hard dry bread also after soaking it in a puddle.

My husband has a subscription and I kept hearing bits and pieces from my side of the room and I always want to hear the whole thing (so I subscribed, too!). I will catch up with as many as I can. We love our crows and have so many questions. Right now, what's biggest on my mind is what happens with crows when they lose their mates. I hope you have already covered this, but if not, please consider it. That, and from this video, I wonder what all you know about hooded crows (Nebelkrähe here, too). We have many that mate with black ones, which gives us a whole mix in between (as you covered here). Do you suppose they become "bilingual" and keep the languages separate, or (here in Vienna) do you think have meshed the languages? Something else I have wondered about are the events of the large congregations around various buildings, like church towers or the tallest buildings around...they do this at least a few times a year early in the mornings---mating? passing on info (because I know crows know to come up to me for food in places I've never been. I have a dachi mix and she is always with us and makes us easily identifiable)?. Thanks for your posts!

[@KrariTheCrow]

Hi, thank you for subscribing :-) Those are very interesting questions! Thank you for this! We will try to answer them in one of the next videos.. Regarding your questions about the hybrids, I don't think there is a separate language between carrion and hooded crows. They have been regarded as the same species until recently and only differ in their plumage. And the hybrids are larger!

[@florianzeitz6336]

Great questions. On the subject of deceased conspecifics, I find the so-called crow burials interesting. In fact, crows have been observed time and again gathering in large groups around a dead animal in the face of a deceased conspecific. In their work, scientists Kaeli Swift and John Marzluff at the University of Washington pose the question of whether crows are capable of mourning deceased conspecifics. In particular, they also take the approach that crow burials may also be about identifying sources of danger so that they can learn from the fateful situation for the future. In a video on Misconceptions About Crows that we're working on right now, we want to go into more detail about that. Here's a link to Kaeli Swift's article: corvidresearch.blog/2015/09/26/why-crows-gather-around-their-dead/

[@CabinFever52]

@@florianzeitz6336, yes, I have seen incidences of this, myself. And just the other day, my husband was out and one of our crows came to him, very upset in a huge dialog, left for a second to go over a fence below their nest and retrieved one wet and mangled crow feather, like maybe it had been in a mammal's mouth. I've seen his mate since and know they are tending to a nest of babies, but don't know how many and don't think they are anywhere big enough for flight, but no way to tell as of yet. He sounded so upset and begging for help. I'm glad it wasn't his mate, but it still really affected him.

Out here in Oakland, California, we have American (Carrion) Crows and Scrub Jays. The Crows are very skittish and will not get close to me. The Scrub Jays are much braver and will accept peanuts provided I stay a meter or so away. Both are corvids and are my favorite family (scientific classification) of birds. The coloration of the scrub jay is just fantastic, I think it should be the color scheme for many things, cars, email windows, and human clothing. Black, gray and blue look great together.

Gulls probably do not pose a threat to crow nests.

[@papalegba6796]

They'll chase bigger seagulls, like a herring gull, away during nesting season. Same with herons. But they're much more relaxed about which birds they regard as threats outside nesting season. Even the vocalizations they use to describe the threat to other crows changes during nesting season, I guess to let other crows know they're protecting a nest? Their language is very complex indeed I think.

Waits for a few seconds before taking off and sits one the roof of the restaurant next door to us until I come out and make kissy sounds ^.^ Which means snacks!! They really are smart birds

And because they eat everything doesn't mean it's healthy for them :( Their diet should consists of first of all meat, vegs, fruits and cereal. They also like eggs and nuts, but too many aren't good because of much fat - only several a week. No bread of course. Not good for them to eat cat's or dog's food.

What should be the problem with cat and dog food? It‘s recommended by corvid research.

My crow friends love a little bread during nesting season. They take it & soak it in water, then feed it to the chicks to give them a drink. Cat biscuits are a good cheap way to feed them & their chicks too, again they'll dip it in water if its too dry, they're real smart & know what's best for them.
