#5 wait, so blue-jays are Corvids? Explains a lot

Saw my first Raven in the wild recently up on the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. I've misidentified rooks and such as ravens, but as soon as I saw this thing, I knew. Plus they make a really nice purring sound too.

Read the title of covid memes. I was 6 memes in and asking why they're all about crows before re-reading the title. Sorry about that. Nice dump overall, however.

Thank you for posting these. Corvids are underappreciated IMO

Check out the New Caledonian crow, the smartest bird species documented so far. They craft tools to get food. They keep the useful tools. They modify existing tools to new situations. Even most primate species haven't been seen doing that.

#12 Canuck the Crow! He’s Vancouver’s animal mascot. That knife is stolen from a crime scene. He hasn’t been seen in ages, but this is still years after surviving a beating from some bastard human. Love this bird.

There is a great book written from the perspective of a crow. Hollow Kingdom.

#5 Gotta stick up for aussie magpies, They are more crow/rook size.

#4 I never saw Aussie magpies doing this, but I have heard their song. One time I heard this bird song that was the most beautiful bird song I had ever heard. Never forget it, and really annoyed I wasn't quick enough to think to get my cell out to record it. I couldn't believe it was from such a smallish bird, 2/3 size of a raven, if that.

Australian Magpies are actually not Corvids(Corvidae), they're in a completely separate family(Artamidae).
DJOldguy
Thank you, didn't know that, just they look like birds to me..:)

#15 can someone please write a short story about this or start a comic?

There's a one page RPG about this! In "The Witch is Dead" by Grant Howitt, the evil, bigoted townsfolk murdered the kind witch who lives in the woods. The players are the little forest animals she befriended, out for revenge. https://gshowitt.itch.io/the-witch-is-dead

Dooting this for later.

Kind of good news, in Michael Ende's (the author of The Neverending Story) Der satanarchäolügenialkohöllische Wunschpunsch (or The Night of Wishes in Englisch) two familiars ( Cat & Raven) have to pair up to prevent their masters, a witch and a warlock, from taking over the world.

I can’t figure out if I have crows or ravens on my land. Its in north Texas, and I don’t think ravens are native here. I was thinking crows, but they are really big birds. Well over a foot tall. There are four and they hang out in pairs. I also have three vultures that hang out in the same vicinity.
martineb72
It is mostly in the beak that people would notice the difference, the ruffle under the beak in ravens. Over a foot high would be short for a raven or tall for a crow.
nicky512
Their beaks are big, which is what threw me off, but they look straight. I’m sure they are crows after listening to their caw this morning. The raven caws I listened to online don’t sound so clear. These are very clear and loud. Anyway, thanks for the info.
SharkDoctor
ravens are MASSIVE and have big, more curved beaks than crows. they're also more likely to hang out in rural/forested areas whereas you're more likely to see crows where people are around more. hope that helps. they're also more in west texas, south of el paso and out to the austin area and then south western, but not all the way south to brownsville. maybe like eagle pass/del rio i think. according to a map i found.
nicky512
Yeah, we are out in the country, and they hang out in the woods, which is why I was curious. Plus there are only four. But they are crows. I listened to their “caw” this morning and it’s 100% crows. They are just big, I suppose. Thanks for the info.

@op, have you ever been to upper SoCal, more Ventura County area? Every night, hundreds of crows fly from the coast and come little inland to sleep. They usually pick a spot; buildings, trees, light posts to sit and it looks like a scene from The Birds.
Ngugi
Admittedly not, I'm from Sweden hehe, but that sounds like a sight to behold
CupcakeSocial
The next time they pick my town to sit/sleep, I’ll get a good picture for you.
CupcakeSocial
not the best video but here are some of them flying by. This goes on for about 30 minutes every evening.

Neat! Thank you for taking the time sharing
