took me a while to realize they're taxidermied birds and not live ones lmao

Love this, but it would have been great if you didn't wear black, you can't see the birds against your pants and shirt.

I was in Alaska not long ago and saw a raven at a raptor rescue. This raven was visited daily by his old flock-mates every day. I was really lucky to arrive moments before his friends showed up. They brought him some bits of aluminium foil and stayed to share his food. It was one of the most remarkable things I've seen in a long time.

Took me a moment to realize both the birds were statues.

I have a relatively flat area on my roof. The Ravens know me well and watch for the handouts I throw out daily. They can have a rough time in winter. So I make sure to throw out a good amount of food. They also use the same nest year after year. It can become extremely heavy and 5 feet across. I was asked to remove a nest one time. The female had lined her nest with........ 12 pairs of ladies fancy panties! I thought, what did she do, raid a clothes line?

I've been feeding what I thought was a giant crow in my backyard. I wondered why he was so large and sounded like a honking goose rather than a cawing crow. Haha.... I thought maybe there was something wrong with his throat. Now I know it's a raven I've been feeding. I've watched him bury food and carry food in his beak to what I assume is a nest in my neighbor's tree. There are two much smaller black birds that also come by, that thanks to you, I now know are crows. Seeing them side by side I can notice the difference as shown in your demonstration. Thank you for showing and explaining the difference!

I thought one bird had two names. So not only did I learn there are two different birds but how to tell them apart! Thanks!

Fascinating, thank you for sharing! I don't know why, but watching this has me recalling a folktale I once read about how crows got their black feathers and raspy voices. It's called Rainbow Crow.

The Crow's voice like I'm standing in front of a haunted house. But Raven's voice like I'm standing in a fantasy era war zone after war ended.

Now I can finally tell if I'm in a gothic horror movie or a post-apocalyptic horror movie.

I was waiting for him to imitate the sound that those birds make.

This helped me a lot. I know now that my visitor I affectionately have named Edgar Allen Crow is a crow. Thank you. Next time, however, if you wear black talk about a snowy owl.

I found this very useful but was difficult to see the black birds against the presenter’s black clothing. But am still thankful. I saw a flock of black birds in neighbor’s tree just now & they were huge, & I thought they were crows. Now I know they were ravens. Thanks.

This is really helpful, thanks!

What a fantastic video! I watched a few and this one tells me what I need to know. Short and definitive. Thank you!

Wow! Very distinguishing features. Very subtle. Beautiful birds.

I work at a company called Blue Raven Solar, and through this video I just learned that we actually have Ravens that hang out around our building!

Thank you, so much!! I've been looking for a video to tell the difference between ravens and crows!

After reading several other comparisons, this was very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for this informative video.

Very helpful. Thank you so much for this!

Very informative! Great share btw.

Very useful explanations! Thank you!

Perfect answers to our questions!!! Thanks!!!

Oh thanks! Clear concise information.

This was very helpful information. There are a lot of blackbirds that congregate around my apartment building and until now I had no idea if they were crows or ravens. Now I know!

Thank you! Super helpful

Thanks. good video and helpful.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Extremely helpful!

Cool props and illustrations

I will practice my new bird identification skills, thanks!

Thank you. I'm going to see if I remember the differences.

I love corvids, crows are my favorite but ravens are amazing too. I got to observe one near Golden Gate Park in SF many years ago. It seemed to be aware people were watching and kept striking poses in the tree. It kept its distance but seemed to like the attention.

I'd always thought that the difference was the beak colour... thanks for putting me right and the detailed info.

Should have also included a comparison with Quiscalus mexicanus (the Grackle), which many people mistakenly call "crows", even though they aren't even members of the genus Corvus, nor even of the family Corvidae.

Okay I swear that a raven was outside my window this morning making its noise it was like flying back and forth it woke me up at 8am . I thought it was a duck when I heard the noise but when i looked it looked like a crow but then i thought its pretty freaking big , i never seen a “crow” that big. So im here searching and this video helped me figure out the sound. What was a raven doing outside my window tho i dont live by a forest 😳 I yelled at it to shoo away and it flew off . It looked huge !

Wow.. so genius...I am flabbergasted to know THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET C ...CROW AND R...RAVEN...SO SIMPLE AND EASY TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO. YOU Taught me something that I am to know rest my life. I take teaching me something over giving me something any day.... I am jelly because I wanted a crow pet to learn from last 25 years and one-day when it finds me ....I name it after u

Very educational. Thank you.

Thank you for this information. I love crows!

Very helpful.

very helpful. Thank you!

thanks! i live in san francisco and crows always come visit me. they are so beautiful.

Cool stuff to know thanks !

Most excellent.

Thanks for that!!

Useful thank you

I knew a lady down in México who had a crow or raven who talked. Believe me I heard him talk.

They are so well trained, didnt even move, well done.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="142">2:22</a> this is the crow yelling <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="164">2:44</a> and this is the same crow being choked by a granma for being loud

Great. I need to find one that includes Rooks and magpies. In the UK, most of our magpies are black and white so that’s easy. But they aren’t everywhere are they?

In North America, I never had a problem to distinguish between a raven and a crow, but in Europe the crows are really different than the crows in North America and they are really huge. They are really hard to distinguish from the ravens.

DAMN!!! I've got both crows and ravens, because we live in a forested area in the suburbs by a city. I thought the crows were just young ravens. But apparently I have both. We're loaded with birds. San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula... I think we get more every year. Damn, it's those greenhouse gases that cause life to blossom all over. Only thing California is losing is humans. (chuckle) OK, no more comments. I get 3 cups of coffee in me and whatever video I am looking at gets masses of comments. Great vid, though.

the difference in their calls is so subtle. i would still mix these two up if i tried to identify which bird i was hearing lol.

I’m amazed at how well behaved those birds are in your video. Lol

Nice video, although I have to say the black shirt and pants were an interesting fashion choice. :)

Rather interesting video about difference in Ravin and crow.

thank you😀💕

Excellent!

😊 thank you 😊

I should point out for further information, that UK crows, i.e. European carrion crows, both sound different and look different to American crows. As I mentioned in another comment, they say 'crrrrr' with a rolled rr trill rather than the American 'aaaa', and make other sounds, as well as also mimicing human sounds. They also have the same purple / blue sheen to their feathers as ravens and are not just black, that you can see when the light reflects off them at the right angle.

Some times when I get some fast food. I share some fries with them. Boy do they start bullying each other!! Lmao 🤣 I wish they wouldn't.. but I do enjoy seeing these birds walk around. They're very smart.

Cool, thank you. I see so many crows here in Colorado.

That was very informative, thank you! I saw a very large crow the other day, could bave been a raven! (Also, in addition to thinking the birds were alive for half of the video, am i the only person who thought the presenter had little tiny legs like Tim Conway's Dorf character?)

I live in South West Australia and Ravens here have a slight inward v in their tail whereas the Crow has an outward curve in their tail. Other than that every thing else is the same. What do you call a flock of Ravens? I have a lot of Ravens that come to my place and I feed them and talk to them trying to mimic them and I have taught them to say "all right" and they have fun with it when they are talking to me. I am now working on teaching them to say "G'day mate" I think it will sound great hearing them flying around calling out G'day mate all right.

those are some really well-behaved birds!

Thank for sharing because I live in Hong Kong.I can't see the real bird. I only see the bird in story book. I am confused to distinguish the two birds. Now I understand they are two different birds.

Great video

Thank you. I noticed what I thought was a hawk living near my house, and I was surprised to see it when it landed that it was all black. I'm sure now it was a raven; it's probably more common to mix up a hawk with a raven than a crow lol. The call also sounded more like a raven's; I'm familiar with hearing crows, but this guy sounded different. He noticed me watching him too, and he was hiding in different trees than he was hanging out in originally, and gave one big RAH to let me know to keep it movin', nothing to see lol. Do ravens tend to have more of a secretive personality like this? I've noticed crows are a little more... eccentric lol.

Sooo if you live in palmcoast Florida are crows living in the area?

Just seen raven today. It was huge! We thought it was some sort of an eagle first before getting a closer look.

Brilliant

I agree with other people, redo this with a white shirt and white pants, or not in what appears to be a commercial laundromat! =D I have a whole family of black birds of a large size who know me so well that I had two of them fly over my car when I drove my daughter to school. My husband thinks they do it to divebomb the car, but they never do. It's the little chirpy birds and the seagulls who pull that sh*t! (pun intended)

Dear Sir,You explained it well.Your voice also is good. Please let me know: do both these species mate together or not ?

This is better as a podcast since we can't see anything

I like both.

Nice information but how long does it take for the crow to become a Raven?

All good but the the common raven is not 3 times the size of the american/carrion crow, and even for anyone who hasn’t seen them side by side before, that is pretty obvious by the specimens on the video. Crow is about 2/3 the size of a common raven. You can also tell them apart by their body language, as crows tend to behave in a more “nervous” or “frantic” manner, whereas ravens are calmer.

What about a writing desk?

Really? This video only got less 50 likes? What's wrong with you people? This is very informative and helpful unlike those other nonsense videos but getting a thousand likes.

Finally now i know who ive been feeding at lunch

So ravens have that classic scary sounding bird voice. And ravens sound like a goose honking

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="153">2:33</a> onomonopia shout out.

What is the difference between ravens and rooks?

To am I kept hearing a bird calling out very loud continuously , so I decided to take a look outside and there sit the biggest black loudest raven I've seen or heard. When I said out loud what all the noise about ? I promise you that raven started flapping its wings and bouncing up and down on the tree branch if though to tell me something. Afterwards he flew to different branch and repeatedly did the same thing,well by this time I was call by my intuition to take a closer look in the top from where I stood outdoors I saw a tall moving ; after moving myself around to get a better view I saw the body it was a frighten cat which had had ran way to many feet up this tree 🌳 .I thank the raven for for letting me know this, but now I have to figure out how I could charm my unawaken neighbor cat to climb down the tree ,I tried to call them but they didn't answer . The raven has flew away but I knew he would return to make sure the cat had been rescued, I was tempted to call fire department but I did want to take any chances of human life needing to be rescued so I decided to wait for about 25 minutes and I got a can of tuna open it up took it out side sit it at trunk of the trees and it wasn't 10 before the cat had climb down the tree and was eating breakfast, of course I gave it some water but it was more interested in the tuna .If I forgot to tell you; 'yes the return twice to make that the cat was safe .I have not seen him since after the cat climb the tree.

It gets even more complicated in French cause they have the same name. Corbeau et Grand Corbeau which would be Raven and Big Raven. But people never say the « grand » so you just end up with 2 birds with 1 name.

Drives me crazy sometimes. Crows have so many sounds, they sometimes sound like a raven to me, but if they are close enough, their bill gives them away. When I actually do hear a raven (I'm in a rural area, so yes) they are unmistakable in sound. But those crows, I swear! LOL! Until I saw this video, I didn't know about the flying tail difference. Aha! Now I have another hint. 😊

Ravens also have a gong sound

OK. Thanks

Hi everyone im 11 years old i wanna give u a msg that during the coronavirus lockdown many many many stray animals are suffering and dying because of hunger to help the stray animals nearby your house building locality they will to give us best wishes and blessings if you can't go outside then you can get some food from a window or door balcony terrace and if that is also not possible you can just take a bowel or something else container which we can just keep some grains are the sum of the food which is left leftover food and give it water so the birds small small squirrels we can eat it thank you I just wanted to tell you this thing I hope you can do it so that you can save life not a live s you can save life by doing this I hope you can understand thank you

That was interesting

crows are seen easily in human habitats and ravens are mostly wild type

As a mail carrier, I constantly see both. I’m in a more wooded town now, so I see more ravens. I constantly see ravens going at it with blue jays and mockingbirds… I’ve even seen crows behead an American robin fledgling once. Nature is beautiful yet nasty, and you notice the dynamic when you spend 6-10 hours outside for a living

Ravens can mimic speech.

The crow and raven in this video are very well behaved. LOL! 😀

I’ve never seen birds sit so still!!!!!

A crow wakes me up every morning I don't know if I find it funny or if it bothers me :P

Acabei de entender a diferença entre corvo e corvo.

Plus Ravens can fly much higher in the air, Ravens have actual talons like toes/claws.

We often call the big Australian black bird a crow but I think it’s a raven? Doesn’t sound like either of them but it’s big and glossy and gorgeous.
