Talking wild crow actually speaks to squirrel at bird feeder
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лют 2018
- A wild crow came to the bird feeder and found a big, fat squirrel feasting on the peanuts that were supposed to be for him. Squirrels and crows are enemies and never get along, especially when food is at stake, but instead of starting a fight, the crow did something unbelievable. He said "hello". Twice! He's a completely wild crow, but he can say hello in a voice that sounds much like a parrot. What's more, the crow actually understands that the word hello is a greeting.<br><br>This is an amazing and heart warming story that really begins in 2011. A nest of baby crows fell out of a tree and the attempt to return them was unsuccessful. The parents did not return for the crows and time was running out. They needed to be fed every few hours at that age and a decision was made to bring the crows to Dr. Kristy Hiltz, a veterinarian at Sherbrooke Heights Animal Hospital. She was known to treat any animal that needed help. Kristy and her family took on the job of raising five noisy and very hungry crows. This meant night time feedings, screaming demands for food every few hours and lots of cleaning.<br><br>Within two weeks the crows were able to fly. They began roosting in the trees outside and returning at sunrise for breakfast. Unfortunately, one of the five did not survive the early days and the family of five became four.<br><br>The four crows, the famous "Freds", became known in the neighbourhood for their friendliness and their mischief. They were called Russell Crow, Crow Magnon, Baby Fred, and Adventure Fred.<br>Kristy's family tried to teach them how to say "Fred" but instead, they actually learned to say "Hello". They greeted Kristy and the kids with this each time they came back for food. The crows were taught to find worms and eat berries from bushes. They were encouraged to find their own meals and were given less prepared food as time went on. Crows are highly social, surprisingly intelligent, and they even demonstrated a sense of humor and a protective nature towards the family. They captured everybody's hearts.<br><br>Amazingly, the Freds were able to join a family of wild crows that lived nearby. They became completely independent and even migrated south at the end of that summer. Kristy watched for the crows when spring came and she was thrilled to hear at least two talking crows at the bird feeder. Occasionally, a crow flying overhead would land in a nearby tree and say "hello". They would not take food from her anymore, but they would let her get closer than the truly wild crows would.<br><br>In 2018, Kristy's husband, Dave, put his GoPro out at the crow feeder as he occasionally does, to record the animals that come for the daily supply of peanuts. When he reviewed the footage, he was shocked to find that one of the Freds had perched beside a cheeky squirrel and spoken. Attempts at communication between animal species is extremely rare.<br><br>Kristy was also thrilled to see the adorable attempt at conversation caught on video. It is reassuring each time they speak because it tells Kristy that her crows are alive and well. It also tells her that they still remember the summer of 2011 and their human family.<br><br>The full story can be seen in the video: Rescued Baby Crows Return Each Spring To Say Hello<br><a href="rumble.com/v30b0x-rescued-bab... rel=nofollow target=_blank>rumble.com/v30b0x-rescued-bab...

Every morning a crow sits on the street light outside my son's bedroom windows and makes the same noise as his mobile phone alarm! He moved out 2 years ago but the crow still comes and makes the alarm call noise. It always makes me smile.
This is wholesome, this needs more likes
I kinda like crows and thats a great story and I bet it made a lot of folks out here smile , sure did me !
Lol
Crows are wicked smart
@j people still kill crows for being 'ugly' or for fun, so yeah...
Crows and ravens are absolutely incredible birds. I'm sure they're quite capable of MUCH MORE than we already give them credit for. Never understood the reputation as birds of so-called "bad" luck, which I consider complete and utter foolishness.
Crows and ravens are beautiful, incredibly intelligent, whimsical, absolutely awesome birds, and my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE of all birds. ☺☺❤❤
I know your comment was over a year ago but I just wanted to say that they are my favourite birds too! Hands down!!
Not to us Norse folk, they're good luck.
I've been feeding a big male Raven since last winter (the summer I don't see him). This month he brought his mate and child to eat, too.The father has two special calls - one for my dogs, and one for me. He's often tagged along on walks, and let me know when somebody else or animals are nearby. Brilliant, brilliant birds.
You are so right. We learned to recognize crow voices and different messages in the calls. Even crows that live half an hour away use different numbers of caws for similar messages. It seems like they have specific calls for specific families.
John C years ago pigs moved heavily into Tehachapi mountains above Bakersfield . I never realized how many pigs were in those mountains until one day i was predator calling for bobcat and crows came in . They were making a noise exactly like pigs . I laughed my self silly .
You know that old saying , " when pigs can fly"?
You are so fortunate to have those friends. We have cardinals like that. Returning here with family now for well over thirty years. I love it when the crows come up to me for goodies. Had one on my rear view a few weeks ago at a parking lot asking for peanuts.
John C - Please say hello to your Raven for me . Thanks and be blessed .
I’ve been adopted by a murder of crows here In Arkansas. I feed them they occasionally leave me a gift. A bottle cap, paper clip, a button and a small bit of foil. They come when I call and have little fear of me. It’s pretty cool experience. Thanks for sharing yours.
A murder of Crows . Few people know what a gang of Crows are called .
@@QuantumMechanic_88 Most people that know what a crow is knows what a group of them are called.
@@QuantumMechanic_88 yeah, its pretty rare to find someone who use that phrase, its such a badass words!
That's cool
You mean 'flock' . Groan.
Thank you for posting this. I love to see when birds are helped and then allowed to return to their natural life----not kept as pets. I once raised a Mockingbird that was found on a sidewalk; he was so far gone he had ants already crawling on him. I named him "Eat More" because he was just a juvenile and we all feared he wouldn't eat enough and grow stronger. I wanted him to live a natural life and left my bedroom window open, hoping he would explore on his own. He would perch atop my bed's tall oak back board and eventually he started venturing outside. He would sit on my laundry line and beg for food, but soon "naturalized" himself and was gone for longer and longer periods of time. After a while, I thought he was gone for good. He surprised me by coming back one day, sitting in a tree near to the laundry line. He had his mate with him. He was introducing us, I am sure of it. I was SO HAPPY. Never saw him again.
Raised a Raven this summer. Chose to stay around uncaged. Blended into the household of three dogs and a cat. Learning to say hello.
Barks like my dogs. Blessed to have him in our lives! Edit: talking now says "don't bite the dogs".
I love crows! They are so fun to watch. They strut around like : Yeah, I'm bad! What ya gonna do about it?
Crows are among the most intelligent birds and are good pets if legally owned!!!
I know this is 2 years later but corvids make horrible pets
Crows are smarter than humens
no bird should be a pet they must fly free
They also make great pets if rescued and secretly owned (in UK)
All birds should be free, unless they are injured/sick and need our help.
They really are super intelligent birds..I've always liked crows.
Crows make good pets. They are lovable creatures and give you much enjoyment❤️💜💜
That squirrel was a little rude, didn't even acknowledge the crows presence sheesh.
I'm glad animals want to be friends it should always be like this
I have a family of 4-5 crows in my backyard; the big shiny one (I assume) is Daddy as he has a deeper "caw" and seems to rule the entire group! HE RESPONDS TO ME when I talk to him! Which amazes me so much.... I'll say "goodmorning baby" and he'll make this sweet intimate grunt/croaky sound (not as loud as when he caws). Every time I say something, he waits, then responds quietly in a sound to me. The others are still a bit shy but the big Daddy crow comes close and likes when I talk to him. Crows are so adorable!
❤️What a polite crow❣️ I have seen crows fighting with squirrels. This is so wonderful instead. No greed. The friendly crow wants to share food with the squirrel👏🏼.
I had a crow that fell from its nest when i was a teenager i feed and cared for it raised it then one day it just flew off with its own and never came back. I like to think hes out there still with a family, they are very smart creatures.
I used to have to net my apple trees up to last year because of crow attacks.
This last two years no cover because I feed them and they know I'm no threat..
Reciprocation.
I feed the crows in the park near our house. I have chosen a flat, concrete ground for feeding site. I come there often every morning and night to feed them. It just takes 1 crow to see it and a murder of crows rush in to feed. I also give them water because it is hot where I am. They are Indian house crows which were brought in the desert and thrived because they are smart and adaptable. Every time I go outside, the crows would recognize me and fly over me or near me to catch my attention. I would say "hello" to them, hoping some day they would learn to speak. They also accompany me to the bus stop, flying from branch of trees, watching over me. I love these birds and just watching them make my day!
Crows are so fascinating! They are SO smart! Thank you for saving these young crows and successfully getting them into the wild again! That crow is probably thinking, "rude squirrel. I say 'hello' and he just ignores me."
Crows r super smart. Had one in my calc 2 class. Cheated off her.
t mac l’ve heard of Counting Crows!
It was Cheryl wasn’t it ?
No fucking way.
I love crows. Very intelligent birds.
I applaud you. Great job in raising them and allowing them to be free to fly away. You taught them to survive and to be with their own kind. Well done!✌️❤️
Soozie Barren thank you! ❤️
It’s actually quite normal for birds raised by humans to find their own kind and learn by watching them eat. Nature finds a way. My uncle had a tree service, and no wildlife rehabbers in our remote location, so he raised a lot of birds and squirrels for release. They do very well on their own in no time.
What a WONDERFUL video of my favorite birds of all. I love all birds but crows (and ravens) are my absolute favorites. Truly AMAZING birds. So nice to see them treated with love, respect, care, and reverence they deserve. I never bought into the silly superstitions about them. Just incredible, intelligent, beautiful, and amazing birds of our world.
Thanks guys for your care & compassion in helping raise the crows. A beautiful experience I could only wish to share.
THANKS for the lovely video.☺☺❤❤
Magnificent Creatures ! No Question
Oh goodness, I love crows so much.
I live for these kinds of interactions.
I've been feeding birds around my neighbourhood the last year, recently they have been making similar noises to this, like cute clicking and soft sounds you don't normally hear, like endearment, to say thank you.
There are crows and squirrels peacefully feeding on the patio in my little suburban back yard as I write this. People "warned" me about both squirrels and crows when I first put out bird feeders years ago, but I get along with both species.
The squirrels and crows don't really hassle each other, but you can see that the big crows make the squirrels nervous. It's funny to watch the squirrels constantly looking sideways at the crows as they munch up the fallen birdseed.
You are good people for helping the animals.
This breaks my heaet, in a good way. Why do people think animals are lesser. They clearly are not. They are so smart, intuitive. Amazing.
How's it break your heart? Do you mean that it warms your heart?
@@godofthecripples1237 lol it's a natural human reaction.. when presented with something which they see as utterly positive and beautiful, they quickly get consumed with sadness due to them reflecting on the opposite: the injustices of the world that they now believe need to be eradicated. It's a bi-product of self-awareness. For 'knowing' is the curse which gives it all meaning. That is why the saying "ignorance is bliss" is so simple but true. Which in actuality, is the position which birds and the rest of the animal kingdom hold. As, most animals do not have the level of self awareness which we as humans do.. so in reality.. it's a burden of human existence. One which is self imposed by those who are way too empathetic for their own good. Because: Nature is brutal.. and they (animals) don't realize it. They're simply existing.
@@marztar K, now can you say that again in English?
@@godofthecripples1237 bliss.
@@marztar Okay, Google translate it is.
At work I sometimes buy some raw unsalted pine nuts for the crows and ravens in the parking lot. For about a year now there's a raven (I call him Edgar) that always says "Hello!" And "Hey!" To me while I'm outside sweeping. He doesn't talk to anyone else though. There's another one I named "Lenore" that will pick up garbage and fly it into the trash for me. The pine nuts are her payment.
I love these birds!
That's wonderful. We need more of this, just to remind us that not all the world is a nasty, hostile place. Blessings to Kristy and the Freds ❤
So beautiful I love them
Crows are the coolest! When I heard 10 years ago that Crows (whom originally I found obnoxious but tolerable) were a protected songbird in my community I thought, REALLY? Hilarious! But later, as I read up on their complex social structure, their language, found them fascinating and undiscovered - even in the big city so, I would like to thank the author of this video for creating this content.
On a side note, Burger King restaurants ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE AT LEAST ! LARGE CROW sitting on a light pole watching their drive thru. If you pay attention, you'll see its true.
I love crows so much. In my houseI fed them peanuts. I had two parnts, previous year babies and new babies. They kept cleaning me out but I loved it. Wish I could still do it.
You folks are the best on this planet!!!! Spread the knowledge, love and compassion about our connection with animals!!!
Excellent work. The earth is moved because of people like you.
They are wild, but very polite
How wonderful this story is about our Animal Kingdom!
I had a hen just up until recently, who not having been raised around chickens, began mimicking the sounds of the crows who would fly over. It was hilarious.
Crows are incredibly smart.
I have one here on my table right now . I wish he would go outside. Now drinking my tea.
I put him out and he knows to run in before me ,steals anything shiny and hides it and that includes expensive jewellery. Hates my girlfriend and fluffs up to make himself look bigger and pecks her.
Recognised me from over a hundred metres away and lives in my shed when it rains .
I have lost so many tools to him and many important nuts and bolts when stripping down machinery.
Even though he can be a pain in the arse we love him and get a lot of laughter in his company . His intelligence never ceases to amaze me .
Insanely smart creatures.
I've been feeding wild corvids some peanuts and other stuff that they love for a few weeks now. Today, as a corvid was making the rattle sound to me, I began to repeat the two-syllable "hello." Took a few minutes, but eventually the bird said "hello!" Also, was saying other things as it must have overheard people conversing, but I couldn't make it out. Full sentances, not only a word or two, but extended speech. Funny and awesome to witness. Happened on two seperate occasions today and two different corvids.
Usually the crows around here just screech. But sometimes I walk past a tree or bush and I hear their strange alien language, a full conversation with sentences and stuff. It's some of the strangest things I've heard.
I bought a turkey call, which sounds like a crow. (I guess they don't get along) because of all the crows and Ravens I see where I go fishing every other day. I was immediately impressed by the crows intelligence.
They know my car and they know I will mimic them so they will fly over for a visit. I'll do whatever they do. If they caw twice, I'll caw twice and so forth. They've shown me that they can count up to seven and back down.
When I'm in my van they will fly around it counter clockwise and look at me through the window to see if I have one of them inside the van. Sometimes a huge flock will do this and scare my unsuspecting friends. The huge flock will fly away but they'll leave one spy to keep an eye on me and report back to them later. The "spy" will pretend it doesn't see me and is just minding its own business. When I quickly look at it, it will look away. If I turn my back to it, it will move to where it can see what I'm doing.
I never feed them but still they like to come around to interact. I can mimic them now without the call. My friends think I'm a bit crazy because I'll always talk with them if they come to visit. They are amazing!
I was calling my cats to lunch.........I didn't see them..I let out a meowie sound over & over again. My call was answered by a "meowie".............every day I did this.Well, I called my cats & I know damn well it wasn't them talking @ me. It was a crow in the tree next door. Unbelievable. That was when the cats came. They came to the crows voice for heavens sake. Wish I had a video camera for that one.
When I was a child in grade school there was a murder of crows that would come to the playground. I can only assume one of them was a released previously captive crow, because one of the murder could talk and say hello and goodbye and things like that. Most of the kids enjoyed playing with the jungle gyms etc but I loved sitting next to the murder of crows and the one would talk and the others would bounce around and be all friendly.
That squirrel is acting like when a complete stranger tries to spark up a conversation with you but you just pretend not to hear them.
At least one of the crows I feed says something a bit similar: two notes/syllables, but sounding a bit more like "camow" than "hello". So I interpret it as "come out" and see me :-)
I live in Colorado and no one believes me when I tell them that when I go outside to water my grass every morning that there is a black crow in the tall pine tree that watches me and starts crowing real loud...then the crow flies down and walks up the driveway to get a drink from my water hose...then flies away. This crow has done this 3 times now. My neighbors can't get over it!!!
Videos like this just make me smile...!!! I've been in the avian field now for the better part of 25yrs now. And have worked "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey and Budgies to Macaws. And the "Corvids" will ALWAYS be my favorites just based on there sheer brilliance. They are EVERY BIT as smart as parrots being able to figure out complex puzzles and best of all there ability to speak. They comprise a large family consisting of; Ravens, Crows, Rooks, Magpies, Jackdaws, Jays, & finally Nutcrackers. And in my experience Ravens are the best in terms of there vocal ability. I think what these folks did was awesome and i'm so happy there back out in the wild enjoying themselves and getting into mischief as Corvids love to do. Great video folks...!!!
tomtalker2000 thank you. We loved these birds.
Do you have videos of your work with any of those birds?
Well done!
So proud you allowed them to be wild like they were ment to be. Nature lives.
There are a lot of dogs around where I live, and today I was outside. I kept hearing what sounded like a dog barking, though it was a bit hoarse. I looked around to see where it was coming from, and it was a raven in the tree right next to where I was. I've never heard a raven make that sound before. It was kind of funny :)
lbird usually gave something caught in their throat when they do that
Thanks for replying Robert. I was wondering if the bird was trying to imitate the dog sound. But, you are probably right. I hope the bird is okay and was able to get it unlodged. Have a great day.
Ibird - Thanks for this . I found a baby raven when I was a kid . Raised it in the house and outside on the back porch . It would imitate people on television and the dog and cat . Jake took off for over a year and one spring , I came outside and there were 4 ravens & Jake - totally tame and saying "whatcha doing ? " .
I swear this is a true story Ibird .
Master Tracker that is truly awesome. Ravens are one of the smartest birds, and I'm sure they don't forget the one who raised them. I think Jake brought back his family because he's proud to show them off to you.. and he literally wanted to say hello. I love that story. Thanks Master Tracker for sharing it with me. Most humans don't give animals credit for how smart or intuitive they are.
I've got a family of crows that hang around my house. One of them does the same dog sound. :-)
Bless you for caring for and feeding them. 😍
The orphan crows joined the wild bunch, but still drop into say “hello”☺️🕊👍🏻
Amazing people and birds
Beautiful video and thank you for taking care of these crows and let them go wild again. I live in Devon UK and for the first time I've met carrion crows, the variety that prefers to eat from dead animals. They've got whitish beaks, can be quite large and they make the most peculiar sounds, sitting high in a tree. I stood glued to the ground and a passer by explained to me what this bird was. There's lots of predator birds here, with National Park Dartmoor close by.
Those crows are cool, there is one that asks for food sitting on a light pole in front of my house every morning.
Is your house a Burger King?
ALL creatures have feelings...
I raised an Australian Raven that was nearly dead with ants eating him when we got him. The wife has parrots and she force fed him. He became very healthy but his wing was fractured. The wing became good and he was in great health . I loved him but he flew away , he was a beautiful bird very demanding so I became his slave . Spoilt him but he deserved it. Birds are are great but I've always had a soft spot for corvids .
That was awesome! I didn't even know they can say words or be trained. 👏😂
Awwww, I had a crow before, what an awesome and smart bird they are.
My mother had one come to her balcony for treats. They are so clever.
Wonderful video thanks so much 🌼
Intelligent and beautyful.
It's actually really strange seeing a crow be nice to a squirrel.
Thanks for sharing your 👍great experience with such a special birds. ❤️Heart worming memories. ***
I love crows so much but have only seen one up close and I'm 46! I've never seen a black squirrel in my life, he was awesome!😀
I love watching the crow's ,they know when I go to the shop,I always throw them snacks, beautiful bird.
Mine does that too Hello Crow. Love them so much . Will walk on roof and give me heck if late with food
Had 2 crows, they made good pets actually. Dont leave anything shiny around,theyll take off with it, and you may never see it again unless you can get into theyre nest lol.
Beautiful and intelligent crows!
As a matter of fact my ability to see into the future is far greater than that of a mere shin guard
Crows are a very smart bird.
These video stories like this are the best part of youtube. Salute.
HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO HAVE THESE BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCES, THAT'S SO LOVELY THANKS CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, WHY ARE YOU YELLING AND SIGNING YOUR COMMENT? THIS IS NOT A LETTER.
fcknmrcls
WHAT IS "YOUR PROBLEM" NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN HARRASS OTHERS. WHEN YOUR PERFECT PICK ON ME. I DO NOBODY ANY HARM. GET A LIFE!!!! GO TO FACEBOOK WITH OTHER HATERS.
Well, at least I know the difference between your and you're. You seem to be quite an unintelligent individual.
This is what the internet is for?
fcknmrcls
AND YOU AN IGNORAMUS.
I have doves that nest on my porch every summer.They use same nest after remodeling it every yr.They are not afraid of me getting inches away
The crows and squirrels in my yard are friends and eat side by side!
Crows in our neighborhood like to peck at the pet dish on our porch in efforts to eat dry catfood. A few times the dish was carried away to a field across the street. ;-)
I taught a crow to talk when I was a kid best bet I ever had
Good job, may you be blessed for helping wild birds.
That first bird sounds more like a raven than a crow.... I watched a raven in Houston try to repeat what someone was saying, make that same noise before every attempt to repeat . The raven bird is a pretty cool bird to watch fly they nose dive a lot, sight to see........
Omg! How beautiful and clever thy are!
That's precious!
Hello sounds so much nicer than hi!
Awww great video! I love birds. All species, they are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this awesome video.
I have a wild crow that lives near my house that i've been feeding for the past year or so that's finally starting to say hello.
Love this! Love crows
Excellent crow video, much enjoyed! Thanks.
AMAZING IS TO SEE GOOD SOULS..
I remember about three years ago I had picked up a bird that had fallen out of it’s nest and (I think) broken it’s wing. I’m pretty sure it was male. I remember me and my dad had picked him up in a towel and walked him home, he was absolutely STARVING! We could feel his ribs, we gathered some worms out of the backyard and fed them to him, he seemed content for a while and then wanted more. The poor thing was literally starving. We fed him some more, and then gave him a warm bath, (his feathers were covered in dirt) and (DONT EVEN) I sung him a lullaby, I would think it would kind of work because y’know, birds? He’d recovered nicely, but was absolutely freezing to death. He would never have been able to fly if grown. Well, time for some sad bits. We took him to the vet about 2 weeks later, and got some bad news.
He had died.
We mourned him for a while, but never forgot.
Fly in peace lil guy.
Extremly beautiful one
Crows are cool as hell!
Just like Dolphins, they're incredibly intelegent.
Crows are smart
Awesome
Great story!
beautiful
Definitely surprised at the depth of this video
Aww....
