We had an African Grey parrot growing up. This bird was so smart he would mimic the most random things. My brother had this very loose handle on an old radio boom box. Whenever he’d move it or touch it, the handle would drop and make a noise as it bounced off the plastic. He mimicked that so perfectly you couldn’t tell. He also mimicked the phone ringing so well we’d be constantly walking over to the phone realizing it was him. Doorbells, any beeping. It was perfect.

[@MarvinHartmann452]

Mine used to mimic the cordless phone, and he asked with complete phrases what he wanted to do or eat, said goodnight and good morning every time. As well as many other sounds. These are very intelligent and need a lot of time because they're so intelligent they get bored easily. Oh, and he also locked his cage during the night, and unlocked it in the morning.

[@gregthegroove]

@@MarvinHartmann452 my Grey would try to mess with the clasp on his cage all the time with his beak. It was so cute. He’d spend countless hours trying to master it and when I tell you he did he was so happy. He also would fly all around our house and eat foods off our dinner plates. We loved him and he chose my dad. They like to choose one person in the family they love the most and as much as you try you’ll never be able to have that. He had it with my dad and my dad forgot he was on his shoulders because it was so natural he took him outside and the bird got scared when my dad lifted some kind of trash can lid maybe. And the little guy flew off and we never found him again. We left his cage out in the yard where we lost him hoping he’d see it. It was devastating to us all.

When I was a kid my mother rescued a crow that fell out of the nest. She brought it to a vet. He showed her how to take care of it. She had to make a formula to feed it with an eyedropper. As it got bigger it was able to eat bits of meat and later on seeds. Because it became domesticated there was no possible way it would survive in the wild. We ended up having it as a pet. It lived for about 14 years. It was a great pet. It learned our names, and it got along with our dog. It liked to perch on people's shoulders. It liked to ride on top of the dog's back. Sometimes it would eat out of the dog's bowl and drink its water. The dog would wait till it was finished. It learned how to say some words. It was a very funny bird. It was always making us happy.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

I once met an old lady in Scotland who lived in a cottage right by a tiny green villeage square with four huge oaks on it. Right before dusk at least 100 large black crows of some kind would, one by one, silently settle in the trees above. The ladies front garden below was full of lovely roses and there was a large home made birdbath and stone fountain, and it was clear the birds were watching over her and very protective of her, monitoring me closely and calling to one another when I spoke with her across her low garden wall, sending a few messengers down to have a closer look at me. I was thouroughly vetted. I think she fed them seeds, but there were so many of them, that was hardly the point. The relationship was clearly their choice, and like something out of a storybook. She was widowed since many years and had one taken guests for B&B in her several hundred yearold stone cottage. There was also an absolutely ancient church on the grounds of a former mideval marketplace in the rear of the square, and I'd have dinner in an upstairs restaurant every evening with a view of everything. Various times of day passing by I'd always see at least 4 or 5 ariund her front door, a few on the stone walls, watching her tend the the roses, keeping her company. She was indeed a lovely lady. The day I left I wanted to pick a few feathers from the ground underneath the trees to remeber them by. I got the side-eye and a few loud comments from above! So I looked up and explained and asked permission. I have a whole bunch of these scattered oil black feathers in a large envelope picked under careful monitoring with consent. Birds of the crow family are considered of much more advanced intelligence than dogs, from scientific research. They also form strong bonds and are known to be quite protective. Their eyesight and memory is incredible, so you don't want to wrong someone with crow friends watching or you could get hurt. There are also many examples of intervention of crows when people they care about are mistreated. I've read and heard about all that, but really experienced there presence and intelligence there first hand. This was before lockdown. I hope the lady is doing well and her winged friends too. I'll never forget the sight of those 4 trees covered with black crows in absolute stillness, so still you had to look twice to discover them, at dusk on the east coast of Scotland.

There's two antiques shops, one bookstore, a nice little shop of tweed remnants (bought a few for a chair seat and throw) and a bigger one with lovely plaids, clothes and bags. The upstairs restaurant was lovely, and a walk on the shoreline too, and the church a must with beautiful stained glass and big stone slabs outside in the churchyard from the ancient market. There's a second restaurant on the main street near the church square worth reservations too (get busy in summer)! Oh and there's the Castle Hotel which was booked due to a tornament, with a lovely garden to enjoy fantastic artisan gin or whisky! Of course, if you're into golf you must have been there, I'm sure. I also met a visiting couple from another area on the road who each had a wolf in lead! They were wolf-dog hybrids, and I couldn't touch them, but just magnificent, calm (but apprehensive about strangers understandibly). I arrived very late in the evening having booked over the internet but moved out after breakfast (high end hotel with view of the course and shore but only old rich American male golfers with Teslas parked out front all reading the Wallstreet Journal for breakfast ) and found a curious B&B a stones throw from the square for the next night, run by a lovely local couple. I loved my Scottish experience, I was there almost a month, mostly Edinburgh, but some travelling around the lower highlands. The Scots are wonderful, and all the places I visited were just so steeped in atmosphere, and stories. I didn't expect it to be so warm yet rain a few times a day. All the humidity and mosscovered stone... It was this organic feel like even the stoned where sentient and had stories to tell. All the old mythology, druid culture, superstitions and Celtic culture made complete sense in a country like that.

I feed wild birds outside my house. Lots of feeders in a cherry tree. 🍒🐦🥜🐦🥖🐦 I've also taken on feeding birds in a small park by the Town Hall. There are 3 crows there. One has temporarely lost his tail feathers. He skips around though, receiving extra attention and treats. Looking a bit bottom heavy of lately... (Mea culpa). 🙄 🥐🍌🥖🧀 The other two are mother and child. The young one ("Rascal"), still ocationally begs his mum to be fed. However, she's seen him gobble up bits of crustless brown bread, so now has retired from feeding duty. He still needs to cuddle for comfort though, so they sit closely together sometimes. Usually under an agave plant. "Rascal" also likes to sit on the park bench back rest, about half a metre away from me. Watching me feed the sparrows, pigeons, and small seagulls hopping around my feet. I think he expects me to hand feed him sat there, like I sometimes do eager sparrows... 🤔 He's quite smart. Today he stole a bread crust meant for a gull. He then soaked the crust in a small fountain pool, to soften it to his liking. Mama crow watching, looking very proud... (Probably thinking "Aber Plötzlich") ! 😉 Love from Oslo, Norway 😘 🇳🇴

We have in our care, a now 31 yo crow named Sgt. Crow ( because he bonded with my horse Major). When he began showing the earliest signs of arthritis, I noticed he would improve slightly when he was getting bone broth jelly as enrichment. So I began feeding it to him daily and he was much improved for years. Now because he is just absolutely ancient, he's slowly getting more arthritic. I can't explain how he has lived so long, but I have to wonder if as he calls it "bone bro" is responsible for more than well oiled moving parts. EDIT: I feel I need to add a disclaimer.

I’m going to take your birds health advice and drink me some of “Sgt. Crow’s Bone Broth” :)

[@Nirrrina]

The bone broth will provide all kinds of nutrients to help arthritis. I'm thinking about trying to make it for my friends dog that had a back injury & now has trouble walking at time. Although he gets around pretty good now. I personally take coconut oil for the arthritis around a fusion in my back. Whenever I forget to take it for a few days my low back will start getting a stabbing pain in it. I do cheat though by buying the coconut capsules at Walmart because I don't cook enough with it. My friend is actually trying coconut oil on his dog finally. So I'm hoping he'll stay well enough to climb the sofa. He started that again while he was on Prednisone for a fungus infection on his coat. Bone broth might help to transition him back to eating actual dog food too. My friend is an elderly man & this dog is basically his baby along with the two cats. I'm the same with my two indoor cats. Except they only get a couple of tiny bites of things I'm eating. Unless I cook freezer burned chicken for them. They did talk me into giving them canned food once a day though. We also argue over finishing the last of the big bag of dry food until finally give in & just open a new one. I give the leftovers to my neighbors outdoor cat since she's discovered I'll also feed her if she just shows up.

[@Nirrrina]

@@Emiliapocalypse Its really easy to make in a crockpot. I've cooked chicken before like the legs. Then once the chicken part is done I pull it off the bones for whatever I want to use it for. Then just keep cooking the bones for along time. I'd look up a recipe first since I can't remember the actual times. Make sure you have a strainer with tiny holes for getting any leftover bone pieces out. Especially if you're giving it to an animal. Or you could go the easy route & just buy some bone broth at the store. It's with all the different broths. Might have a lot of sodium though.

I was super excited when we bought our new house because crows naturally congregated on our lawn in search of food. I built a ground feeding stand for them in Oct of 2021 and have supplied it with shelled peanuts every morning. They expect it now, and are usually are waiting when I put the peanuts out for them. It's so fun to watch them and their innate curiosity compete with their naturally cautious nature. I can tell if there's a new crow immediately by how how cautiously they react to the setup.

Yup believe it or not, crows can mimic human speech. They do it the same way parrots do, using their syrinx to mimic words and sounds they hear and repeat them. People really underestimate the intelligence of crows and ravens. Crows are among some of the most intelligent creatures on our planet (birds in general are; which is why it doesn't make sense bird brain is still used as an insult). Scientists did a study and have discovered they remember your face, they talk about you to other crows, they remember what you did, and more crows will attack if they heard you've done something wrong. Yup, they plan for the future too!

[@tomtalker2000]

I have 30yrs experience in the avian field and "Corvids" are probably some of my favorite class of birds to work with. They are HIGHLY intelligent, can learn human speech, figure out complex puzzles, and develop VERY strong family bonds with each other. They comprise of the following birds; Ravens, Crows, Rooks, Magpies, Jackdaws, Jays, & Nutcrackers. And this is a Hooded Crow i believe more "Raven like" then Crow in behavior. A little larger then our American Crows we have here in the U.S. beautiful corvids in my humble opinion. I remember being on a field expedition over in Norway one year and witnessed a Common Raven learning how to fish...!!! He watched this man at an ice hole for a few weeks studying him very diligently. Well the man left the ice hole but left the line in. The Raven learned how to work the line between his beak and his talons until he got a bite. And then pulled the fish up out of the ice hole and flew off with it. Yeah if your thinking UNBELIEVABLE try watching it live and in living color folks...!!! It was fascinating to say the least. And it's also why i love these birds so much. They never cease to amaze me.

[@ethanlamoureux5306]

The crow in this video is not a hooded crow, which would be native to Europe, but is an African pied crow, native of course to parts of Africa. The most visible difference is the hooded crow is black and gray while the pied crow is black and white. Also, ravens do not have talons like a bird of prey. They, along with all the corvids, are actually songbirds like sparrows, and their feet and toenails are similar, being made for walking or hopping and grasping tree branches, not for holding prey.

[@tomtalker2000]

@@ethanlamoureux5306 My bad very good observation. Yes i also know that Raven's do not possess talons. They kill with sheer beak power alone and overpowering there prey. In fact, Cornell University had written in one of there field guides that Crows don't possess the power in there beaks to "break skin". I quickly corrected them on that because i have observed in the field and seen them do just that. Plus, there is a video right here on KZbin of a Crow killing a Gopher just look up Crow vs Gopher. And you will see the Crow rip the heart right out of the Gophers chest cavity. YES VERY GRAPHIC so be forewarned if you view it. And yes Ravens are the largest songbird we have that i knew as well. I appreciate your insight.

[@ethanlamoureux5306]
