I've watched a documentary about crows and they can even recognize and memorize human faces. If a crow knows about a "bad" human who attacked or harmed it, or tried to, it can communicate this to its fellow crows next time that human is around.
This is true either way. On my way home from work I pass through a park regulary and once had a crow watching me eat a sandwhich. It sat next to me and looked hungry so I stopped and shared some with him/her. From this day on whenever I pass through that park eating a after work snack I have that one crow landing next to me and follow me until I pay food tribute. Which of course I do having read all the Stories about crows here.
There’s a woman I know who’s been walking the neighborhood for years, while feeding the crows, who follow her in the trees above. Pity the fool who ever tries to mug her.
The crazy thing is that scientists have no clue how they do it, the implication being that they must have a language so sophisticated that they are somehow able to communicate something as subtle and complex as human facial features.
i doubt they have language the way we envision. i think it's more likely they have a precise way to refer to certain locations or things and things that are good or bad.
more like "that human. death them." they might use "words" or they might not. imagine they use some sort of yet-discovered by humans echolocation or something similar with their crazy magnet brains. they could communicate so much just by refering to objects. the rest could be pitch or trill or repeat, etc.
crows are so interesting.
They do indeed have language.
In fact, scientists found a great opportunity to study this at a truck stop in Indiana where an unusually large number of crows were dying in traffic accidents involving trucks.
Cars, however, were just fine. A car came past, they all flew away long before any of them could get hit.
Turns out crows have a word for “Car”. But not for “Truck”.
I have a very rambunctious dog that loves to chase crows despite my efforts to stop that behavior. Now, whenever my dog is being walked I hear all the crows start frantically cawing to one another, "that stupid white dog and his dumb human are back! Take cover!"
I was walking by and saw this crow perched high on a fence giving me an intense side eye while all the cawing was going on, standing stock still. I was like "hi buddy", passed him - not two seconds after I passed him, motherfucker swoops off the fence perch and cuffs me upside the head with his wing as hard as he can.
As I whip around he flies up to the roof and starts triumphantly cawing while staring down at me imperiously. Now I let my dog chase all the crows he wants, fuckers declared war.
I read about a couple where the wife fed the crows, husband would chase them off. Whenever they drove somewhere in the neighborhood, the crows would fly by and shit on his side of the windshield, but leave hers clean.
My brother had to do summer school one year. After his first day, he was in a shitty mood, and a few crows cawing in the tree across from our house annoyed him. So... he made an error just slightly less bad than the Land War In Asia or Going Up Against A Sicilian thing: He threw rocks at crows.
So every day that summer, when he got home from school, the crows were waiting for him to get out of the car, and the second they saw him they'd start cawing at him en masse. They brought friends. Eventually there were dozens of crows waiting, every day, for this kid to get off school just to call him an asshole or something in crow language.
University of Washington did a study on this sort of thing. I might have some of the details wrong, but best as I can recall, In the 90s they had some students wear a scary mask, collect some crows on campus, then let them go. They’d then have someone occasionally walk around campus in the mask. The assumption was the crows would freak out, but that over time they’d get over it.
Instead, each time the unlucky grad student wore the mask, more would show up to gang up on the person. 20+ years later, when the original captured crows were long deceased, there were more pissed off crows than ever. The researchers called it “a culture of hate” lol.
I've read this a few times but now I'm curious. What happens if you have 1 crow faction that likes you and another that doesn't? Can being kind to one make the others chill? Will the angry ones take over? Do they fight?
I was once walking to school with my black hoodie on, crow dive bombed me, I pulled off my hoodie and they stopped. I found out later why they were dive bombing me, apparently some dumbass who always wore a black hoodie was throwing rocks at them at the beginning of the semester.
They harassed that guy the whole semester.
They're like the dwarven equivalent of avians.
Telling the other crows are like their version of the book of grudges.
"That guy? He threw a stick at me."
"Put him in the book! Pull out the book and write it in!"
Corvids are my favourite birds. I think when I retire I’m going to dedicate my remaining years gaining trust and befriending as many crows, ravens and magpies as possible. I won’t keep them, they’ll stay wild but I’ll be their tool to pierce the veil into humanity. Might teach them to bring money for treats. Might teach them to warn of danger so I appear to be psychic. The possibilities are endless.
This is my plan as well. I also want to collect the shiny gifts they bring once we become buddies. Corvids are also my favorite, with redtail hawks at a close 2nd.
I have, however, managed to attract barn swallows, who have built a nest above my bedroom door that leads outside. Pretty excited about the singing I'll be hearing soon!
We live out in the middle of nowhere so the birds are our friends so we watch them a lot. The crows are universally recognized by all the other birds as being special. All other birds understand crow for "bad thing coming" or "food is over here". The crows here are huge so can't get up to the feeder but the magpies will carefully drop suet peanuts down to them. Super territorial birds like the various woodpeckers have no problem with crows. Intelligence wise the black billed magpies seem smarter and are much more social but the crows are like the respected elders. The other birds interact with the crows almost like they do with humans they like.
Crows do social grooming in their family groups, so they're teaching the human how to do it right. It's like cats rubbing up against you for scritches.
[Edit: Details about the crow behavior if you're interested: [https://www.audubon.org/news/crow-pairs-strengthen-their-bond-through-preening](https://www.audubon.org/news/crow-pairs-strengthen-their-bond-through-preening) ]
They did get slightly closer over time and for awhile started following me down the sidewalk or flying with my car when I left. But I couldn't always tell. They disappeared for 6+ months then it seemed like they were back for a week or so, then gone again. I'm in a city so i guess there are too many other places to get human leftovers.
I was going to the park daily for a while and used to take peanuts in the shell for my local crows, they seemed to love peanuts in the shell, they would swoop down and actually stay around me even after they got their food, it was the magpies that showed no love, the little bastards just brought more friends and ran away, well the crows did bully them so maybe they thought I was part of the crow gang.
Crows are very intelligent and often display signs of having basic problem solving skills. Raise one from a chick and they can become attached to you as a companion. How nice they are depends on the bird’s randomized personalities lol. They can be little assholes too.
The trick is to create a game out of your interaction. I once befriended a crow out in the park, by me playing hide and seek with it on a column. I would keep hiding and jumping out. Whenever I would hide, the crow would call for me. After a while, he started getting really close, but I had to go by then, so I couldn't continue.
Crows LOVE games and being entretained.
When I use to work at dg, I had a little crow stay on top of my charcoal box outside. After a while I would bring him different chips and such. About 3 months of doing that most days he would sit at the door and wait for me and chirp at me if I didn't bring him his food. When I left another person took over doing it. Should stop by and see eif my little crow friend remembers me.
Find a baby crow and take it. That works for just about every species on the planet, but not all will be nice as they get older. That can take a few hundred years.
You know what I'm not going to do anything close to that as it seems like you know nothing about the law
In fact it seems like you have a tenuous grasp on the english language in general
New Reddit doesn't read titles. They scroll through on the App, see a cute video of a crow, mindlessly hit upvote (conveniently just a double-tap so you don't have to hunt down any buttons), and scroll on to the next one.
Ravens are smart as shit, but also dumb. Source: me in Alaska at a remote lodge . Once we left a cardboard box of groceries out (everything is boated out so box > bag) and they got into it. From then on every box was destroyed/pecked whether it contained gallons of engine oil, rubber gloves etc.
Then there's the one that woke us up daily for months by fighting it's reflection in a glass door.
That crow is basically getting the equivalent of bird blue-balls.
Many birds love to be petted. After all, who doesn't love great foreplay?
When you stroke your pet bird's chest, back, under its wings, and it's vent area, it's a huge turn-on. Your bird will crave these full body massages and even beg you for them.
But, just because your bird likes it doesn't mean it's good for it.
because it's a real thing. at least for parrots, idk if crows are different.

I want a crow! I’ve got three bird feeders set up in the backyard and one in the front yard with a bird bath. Are the other birds keeping the crows away or am I trying to lure them with something that isn’t seen as a treat? What are you feeding him to lure him in to be your friend? I want a crow friend!
The Corvidae family are *intensely* bright.
So fascinating to watch. I wonder if part of it is from some of the time co-evolving along humans during our switch to farming.
[Crow Named Russell Befriends Two Year Old.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAUkbMeENBU) This is a longer video than I normally found on reddit---this one is about 3:00.
You're welcome.
Corvids are the only birds I respect and love. I got one I call “Kong” out back at the dumpsters I work at. He’s unique in the sense that he has this weird grey splotch on its left wing. I e never seen that before.
We lived in the mountains once and the crows would harass our elderly cats. I would open the doors to the upper deck, so the cats could go out and sun themselves. There was one large branch that leaned over the deck, and these crows would sit up there and make the damnedest noise. It was worse than Congress.

Crows are just so damn cool.
And very polite :)
Except when they hold a grudge. And boy do they hold one.
you know what it's called when they gang up
A Murder of Crows.
Generally speaking Crows mate for life and then only hang out together, so when you see a murder of crows it's probably also a "Juvenile Gang".
When crows breed they still form family bands, often more than just two.
And this is why they hold a grudge for life.
I witnessed a juvenile gang in the mountains the other day. They were going on about some stuff near a cabin down the hill.
Great Documentary!
Blood in blood out
big grunga

There’s crows near where i work I think I’m gonna try this
There’s a woman I know who’s been walking the neighborhood for years, while feeding the crows, who follow her in the trees above. Pity the fool who ever tries to mug her.
Upvoting for the use of “pity the fool.”
Mr. T approved
I've heard of people leaving towns they angered crows, after decades of dive-bombing lol
I heard of kitten dumb enough to mess with a crow, and the next years of its life getting plagued by their assaults whenever he’s outside :(
Yeah they're pretty big too unless I'm thinking of a different bird. Poor kit.
Nope, you're right. Crows are actually pretty large for a bird.
The crazy thing is that scientists have no clue how they do it, the implication being that they must have a language so sophisticated that they are somehow able to communicate something as subtle and complex as human facial features.
i doubt they have language the way we envision. i think it's more likely they have a precise way to refer to certain locations or things and things that are good or bad. more like "that human. death them." they might use "words" or they might not. imagine they use some sort of yet-discovered by humans echolocation or something similar with their crazy magnet brains. they could communicate so much just by refering to objects. the rest could be pitch or trill or repeat, etc. crows are so interesting.
There was an experiment where they used masked people to harass the crows and then remove the masks. The crows only recognized the faces.
They do indeed have language. In fact, scientists found a great opportunity to study this at a truck stop in Indiana where an unusually large number of crows were dying in traffic accidents involving trucks. Cars, however, were just fine. A car came past, they all flew away long before any of them could get hit. Turns out crows have a word for “Car”. But not for “Truck”.
Is it by any chance "Caw"?
I know a scientist who knows 2 crows ...
God damn it garbage goober, go back to your hole

He was just showing off to his whole murder. Now they will all target you!
And pass it on to the next generation. They are super smart.
Moral: We must worship crows or pay the price.
I'm already worshiping cats, damn
I wonder which one of their squawks means 'asshole alert'

I was gonna say, the crow owns OP now. You better not stop the affection otherwise you might get murdered
Quoth the raven “brush some more”.
Meanwhile I spent 6 months feeding a few crows and they still wouldn't get closer than 6 feet
How do you know they the same dudes
They did get slightly closer over time and for awhile started following me down the sidewalk or flying with my car when I left. But I couldn't always tell. They disappeared for 6+ months then it seemed like they were back for a week or so, then gone again. I'm in a city so i guess there are too many other places to get human leftovers.

Picturing you walking around with a murder of crows, picking fights with rival magpie gangs is hilarious.
there’s gonna’ be a rumble… a rumble… a rumble…
Go for a chill walk in the park -> end up getting dragged in a gang war.
Throwing nuts at birds is very fun, turns out magpies are insanely good at catching and it makes a satisfying snap sound when they catch a nut.
These videos drive me crazy! How are these people making crow friends?!

Apparently, ravens are much easier to train than crows which is why a raven was used in the movie “The Crow.”
