I love how it makes that little sound after it goes aaah aaaaeeeeh aaaauuuuuuuuuh those two times, so cute! 🥺 Also I once saw a group of these working with an ibis to get into a dumpster bin, they managed to open the lid and were making a mess lmao.
All three Australian raven species are hyper-intelligent and the closer you observe them the more this becomes apparent (the three species overlap in southern Victoria). For instance they post sentries at strategic look out points like the tallest trees and poles and relieve shifts. This allows them to gather or disperse in response to food sources or danger. Their voice carries over a long range and they have a wide vocabulary so they are able to communicate with each other over a large territory. They do a great service by cleaning up carrion, reducing the numbers of maggots and therefore flies. They also eat a lot of insects and larvae - if it wasn't for ravens, magpies and ibis Australia would be absolutely infested with bugs. People seem to regard their calls as harsh and grating, but listen closely and there is a lot of nuance in their vocalizations. I have heard large groups chanting like monks, where one bird would emit a phrase and the rest would repeat it, each succesive phrase was different and the group response was always an echo of it. It sounds very solemn, like a religious service. Ravens are very aware of human activity and the opportunities they can exploit, from plowing a paddock to school lunch times. When coronavirus lockdowns threw out some of their food source routines there were mass gatherings to discuss new strategies. I mentioned this to friends who said they had noticed this too. Corellas are the rivals of ravens in developed areas. There is a periodic gathering of both these species where thousands of each of these birds will take to the skies all at once. They don't seem to fight, rather it appears to be a show of strength. I saw this in the skies over Cranbourne, Victoria and was told it was a regular, probably yearly event. Ravens and magpies have some rivalry over specific patches but generally get along fine, and some individuals of each species seem to like hanging out together. They will always cooperate to harrass wedge tailed eagles and hawks away from their territory. I once saw a kookaburra flush out a large harrier hawk from a tree, then a magpie took up the chase and a raven then stayed on its tail until it was long gone. One of the best things about watching ravens is their awesome flight skills, they are capable of extremely dexterous maneuvers even in strong winds that have other birds sheltering. This gives them the advantage of finding food blown about and having the territory to themselves to pick over. It is well worth the effort to observe these birds closely - after all they are keeping a close eye on you.
I first heard of this bird call in Australia, I initially thought they were some kids crying out loud all the time 😂 I was amazed to find out they’re actually ravens. They can be as loud as hell, but still cute tho😅
A common misconception. I don't think there are many crows in Australia. Where I live, the ACT, they are all ravens. Big ones, that sound exactly like the one in this video.
That's what I thought as a child! And I thought it was up to me to interpret it. Most of the time I could hear a change in their calls before rain. The pitch got higher on some calls (the more high calls, the more rainfall), and I think other birds joined in with melodic, high pitch tones, similar to the first morning birds. Perhaps I should get some little silver n tourmaline raven charms for my hoops as a reference to Huginn and Muninn, Odin's seeing eye ravens 😂 (I mean, I was born blind in my left eye after all 😉)
I live in a lonely sun baked place. When I first got here, I was really feeling the desolation of it and this call was echoing through the scrub making the whole feeling ten times worse. I thought, 'Geez, even the birds don't really wanna be here'. I like them now but their calls always remind me of someone woefully crying out in a harsh wilderness.
Everywhere I live I befriend the crows and Ravens that live near, I have a nest of them in the trees behind my house and in the morning I usually call back and forth with them
Gabriel Carkhuff Me too!!! It was also present in another Australian film I watched called Sweetie. I asked Reddit on r/whatsthisbird, and I was pointed in the direction of the Torresian crow (Corvus orru). I also looked into this bird, the Australian raven (Corvus coronoides), and I found that both birds have very similar calls. To me, the birds in Mad Max 1 sound more like Australian ravens than Terresian crows.
Does anyone know what the most commonly repeated signal of three calls endinq with a declining sound might mean? It usually comes about three times, followed by seemingly random squarks of various pitch. I"d like to set up an experiment.
That last trailing aaaarrk! is always interesting. Maybe it's a name, or a thing? I know a carpark at some shops where the ravens often have squark-offs with the sulfur crested cockatoos. No idea what it's about - they don't eat the same things. Maybe it's quiz night for birds?
0:57 - 1:05
Even the Raven says "Wow" to his performance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed so hard, forgetting it's like 4am. Damn, that was funny, cheers for pointing it out ✌️🤣
"Aaauauaua"
"Auauaua"
"Auuuaauu"
"Aaaaaaaaaauu"
"Waow"
😂😂
Smarter than most people!

Those are fabulous observations you've shared with us, thanks.
Yes, I agree...fascinating anecdotes and observations. Would love to see these interactions with your Australian Aves species.
I have seen alot of this for myself and agree,crows are one of the most beautiful and interesting animals on earth in my opinion
Tha k you for this sir
I love that some of the smartest animals on this planet look so dorky. Big googly lookin eyes but a big brain inside. Love corvids!
There's so much intent and intelligence evident in that call. What a beautiful creature.
Ravens are such beautiful and intelligent birds! :D I love them!

cool; sounds like so many things at different times. Calf, cat groan, lamb, baby- Ravens are great
I love ravens!
The little low duck-like grunts at the end of each series of calls is the icing on the cake. Adorable.
Sounds like a strange cat 😺, but it's cute
this is just adorable, i cant handle the cuteness of crows
and ravens
Omg I've been calling ravens, crows my whole life
It's hard to tell the difference with Australian species
Because they are crows, although similar in appearance the difference between them is their calls

My life has been a lie
Same
Ravens a plenty where I live ( not far from thick bushland). Also I hear Kookaburras, Cockatoos, Magpies & Bellbirds.
His eyes are stunning...
His/her eyes are so beautiful ❤️
Beautiful bird, intense and beautiful eyes 👍
It sounds like the bird is trying to say something but all that comes out is uhh uuhh uuhhhh

Australia really has all the weird ass animals, don't they?
Lol! Yeah, but they're so cool!
Usa has all the wierd ass people 😂
Everywhere I live I befriend the crows and Ravens that live near, I have a nest of them in the trees behind my house and in the morning I usually call back and forth with them
I’ve been calling the birds at my school crows for 3 years
They’re ravens.
I literally just realised they were ravens.
My life is a lie
I don't know why, that is just so cute to me, lol!😂 Such beautiful feathers!
0:15 Drain Addict noise

ö. a. ou.
W o w
He's practicing his Chinese vowel sounds lol... 😆👌😎
Very nice bird.
"Aah, aah, ow, owwww". They sound nothing like the ravens/crows in America. Here we have: "Caw!, Caw!, Caw!"
"caw caw caw" is a crow
Im sorry but I read the title wrong... thought it said CORONAVIRUS
Same .-.
Hahaha! Too funny. How programmed are we?!
(Girl speaking) corona VIRUS
Would love to have their call as a message tone on my phone.
Lol! That's an awesome idea!
I remember this
0:59-1:03 Ahhh aaauuuuugh wow 😂
Who’s here after listening to this exact same call from drain addict
“Uagh Augh auuuuuuuughhhhhaarrrrrrrr”
*USA* CAW CAW *AUS* AAAA AAAAA
At 1:03 it’s like “wrow~”
Great video. the bird barely even blinks xD
the eyes look illuminated
lol i was sure the call of the rasven at razorback movie was bs . it look liek i was wrong .
Hi can I use this sound for a school project?
I wish Usa had birds like Australia!
You‘d change your mind in three seconds come swooping season lol
You've never seen a crow or raven?
"Rawwwk!"
Do they drop the C?
My mind read (Corvus coronoides) as Corovus Coronavirus. :T
So funny ^^ And very nice video.
I THINKING ABOUT PAST JUST ME LOVES CROW 🤣🤣🤣😘😘😍😍❤️😁😁😁😁
0:15
Maybe that's what it was warning of
Names Mick Taylor, nice to meecha
Nice corvid

Hello guest
It's imitating the feral cats
Sounds like a preteen boy
Australian Raven was a boy
Thats just a common crow !
Somekind of afroParrot?
Uugh aagh eegh
🩷👑💙💛💚
😍😍😍😍😍😍🍰🍩
Hmm ,hope when this is around you, you are not on call with wife/client
😍😍😍😍😍😍😂😂😂
That's a crow!
No, we just call them that, and we're wrong. It's a raven, you can tell by the big shiny ruffle for one thing.
No it’s not. Ravens are bigger than crows.
@@GabrysiaTV69 Australian ravens and crows are very similar in size/weight and even call.
Worst birds ever
They sound like someone is trying to strangle them. Definetly not gifted in the sound department
These are not ravens they are crows
This is a raven
These birds sound so annoying lol
1:03 wow
