    Oh they remember! 😂 My neighbourhood crows recognize me even with a face mask in and will fly over within 6 feet to say hello and accept an unsalted peanut in shell. I love them, such intelligent beings.

    I rescued a crow from a cat back in the 90's. I have heard them calling to me and noticeably very recently. I have had 2 in the past 2 months who have called to me when i walk past. Yesterday one did not make itself known until I walked past. I looked at it and whispered hello birdie. They really can communicate to their fledglings safe places and people to not worry about.

      Yes Crows actually teach their generations about people too. Perhaps the crows you’ve encountered were descendants who of the rescued crow, 😂.

      @@PrettiBrownEyesMisha the problem is my face changes because I have trouble shaving (really shattered shoulder) and when I rescued the crow I had less tattoos and I have to change my glasses regularly and don't think I was wearing glasses that day. I hand fed a currawong grasshoppers and it knocked on the back window asking for more 2 days in a row but it always raised it's wings to take flight if I did a wrong move. I went out the 3rd day and it never came back. Houses nearby have built up so we have a small space. maybe soon i can try to attract something, even if it is just the gorgeous rainbow lorrikeets we get here. I will have to buy some wombaroo lorrikeet feeding mix, but that is a plan now the hospital has discharged my physio sessions, but i would welcome ALL native only species here in Sydney Australia. we3 have a pest that takes over our bird's nests and they are aggressive and i detest them. I heard crows teach their fledglings to keep away from farmers with shotguns, who stupidly think crows can kill a cow, she4ep etc just like the horrible people who killed the thylacine in Tasmania. I love our native wildlife and dogs.

    I was attacked by a crow this morning, it actually scratched my scalp. Later today I was walking in the same area the attack happened in the morning but on the other side of the street. The damn crow started screeching and flew right at me across the bloody street. I had to run into a store and say I was being attacked by a crow. I'm scared to go outside now!!!! This crow wants to kill me.

Some of the crows liked me and some hated me. The next time I went out, a swarm of crows attacked me while the ones I fed were defending me. I had started a crow war.

      This happens sometimes in late spring, when their babies are learning to fly. Crows can attack you if you get closer to their baby. They do it with a high speed pecker hit, on the back of your head or on your feet.
      People that went through this attack usually remember it for life, since it resembles the "Birds" horror movie & it actually hurts badly.

    I always maintained they werent just using facial recognition but theres an energy link theyre picking up on. Case in point...20 years ago i owned several types of birds which i kept in my room at the time in the basement. My parents both worked from home and noticed the birds were quiet all day until about 45 seconds to a minute before i came home and would whistle loudly and make racket until i got downstairs. We did our own experiment for twenty days straight they started making their vocalizations loudly no matter what time i chose and did it about 45 seconds before.people with dogs say the same.Their dogs start barking just before one owner shows up even when they cant see them. There is a link.

    • @D3cyTH3r
      @D3cyTH3r 5 років тому +4

      Ive heard the dog thing before, but I'm still sceptical. There must have been some trigger that you hadn't thought of? A regular 45 seconds before you got home suggests you were pretty close to the house -could they see any part of you from the basement, hear keys or your car, the next door neighbours dog barking, or perhaps a gate opening?

    • @AStoicMaster
      @AStoicMaster 5 років тому +6

      "There is a link."
      How did you rule out that the birds weren't possibly picking up your scent if, say, you were walking/cycling, etc., or maybe a unique sound your automobile makes if you were driving? birds do have excellent hearing. Same goes for the dogs with scent.
      It is rather fallacious and not very informative to posit a mystery to answer a mystery. You're essentially just kicking the can down the road and rendering the original mystery even more mysterious than originally thought.

    • @AStoicMaster
      @AStoicMaster 4 роки тому +3

      @spooky katt Is that an argument? If so, let's take it to its logical consequence.
      P1: Bob says that 2+2=4.
      P2: However, Bob sounds insufferable. He's also clearly a western man vexxed of spirit and bored in general, & often renders embarrassing nitpicking critiques.
      C: Therefore, 2+2 does not equal 4.
      Your argument clearly entails absurd notions as Bob's "alleged" distasteful ways are irrelevant to the proposition expressed. You've merely resorted to vacuous ad hominems. Attack the argument, not the person.
      Furthermore, if you aren't forwarding an argument, why ought anybody care about your arbitrary opining?

    I go fishing a lot at a local reservoir. I have a crow call that hunters use to locate turkeys. I will sometime play with them by trying to repeat them. They will come over and test my vocabulary.
    One crow I was conversing with led me in a count up to 8 and back down to zero. I turned around in amazement and said to it, “you can count.” Then it flew over to some of its murder and talked to them while they would look over at me.
    That’s when I figured out it went to the others to say, “They can count?” “They’re smarter than they look.”
    When I go fishing at that reservoir they know me and my van. They’ll follow me from the camp grounds to where I fish cawing the whole way.

    I don't feed my neighborhood crows or anything, but I observe them all the time and love how their lives are so human-like. The ones in my neighborhood must certainly recognize me, and must trust me too since I am always out there photographing them, and they never fly away. But one even took a nap near me (looked like a brooding hen, just nestled up on some branches about 10 feet from my balcony, and slowly shut its eyes while I photographed it). Another time, a mated pair went and got their blue-eyed kids, and brought them back to the tree canopy next to my balcony and left them there for about 10 minutes, when they flew off for going to get some snacks or something. And onetime there was a crow over on an adjacent building cawing in a very anxious tone at one of resident hawks perched on a tower I was taking pics of from my building roof, and after no other crows came for a while, I looked over at it to take a few pics of it, and we made eye contact, and then it flew right to me, and perched on this wooden overhang thing about 4 feet above me and hung out with me for several minutes while I took photos of the hawk. At first it was still cawing at the hawk in its anxious tone, and then it stopped, and I thought it must have left, so glanced up and it was still right there, and it looked down at me all calmly and tilted its head to the side as if it was saying hi to me. That was quite an experience. It felt like we had an unspoken bond, and it knew that I was a safe place to be in a stressful situation, and that made me feel pretty special.

    Before 1500 years ,
    The Creator told us about the intelligence of the crow in the Qur’an in Surat Al-Ma’idah, verse 31
    Then Allah sent a raven, who scratched the ground, to show him how to hide the shame of his brother. "Woe is me!" said he; "Was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the shame of my brother?" then he became full of regrets-
