    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! 👍🏻

      Australian magpies too

    • @magentamonster
      @magentamonster 3 роки тому

      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
      @magentamonster 3 роки тому

      @@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.

    I saved the dove like that on Christmas about eight years ago she ate out of my hand just literally 30 minutes within catching her. I named her Ginger I really loved that bird. It's a great honor to win the respect and Trust of a wild creature❤

    Birds of the genus Corvus, and particularly crows, are among the most intelligent animals on the planet. They recognize faces and remember them for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this bird comes back to say hi some day.

    I'm watching this three years after the fact but it's true that the crow will never forget your act of kindness. It will appear and sit and stare at you totally unafraid because it's memory is clear.

    Dear Sir, thank you for saving the bird. I'm thinking it's wings were too water saturated to save itself and fly off. Helping it not only showed us that we all need a helping hand sometime but what a beautiful caring compassionate person you are. Soxed sandals and all!
