I wouldn't mind them if they weren't stealing mah berries.

Until you get fucking hit by their sharp beaks. This will surely piss you off.

@@RoderickBalenda no its cause there jerks

@@bobthebuilder4741 not really tbh

Me too and you never see them dead in the road. I think people are scared of them. Beautiful indeed!

That's absolutely heartwarming

Incredible

I figured I would share my kooky crow story with U since where I work nobody would really care they are self centered dolts as I call em. My neighbor recently passed away in August. As the story goes she used to feed the local crows alot of the junk foods she didn't eat like her cheese puffs and corn chips. As the weather turned bitter I was out arguing with a used lawn tractor I picked up ferreting out the multiple engines issues a crow flew really close to me more than once that afternoon and shortly before sundown the damn crow flies up lands right in front of me on the tractor seat and drops a cheese puff. He immediately took off to sit on my fence behind me and caw at me. The joke is I was ready to toss the crow 5 bucks and tell him to hit the road go down to the dollar store and get his own cheese puffs. The crows and I are semi friends now that my neighbor is gone and passed on. However the crows are not fond of my Pet North American Bobcat snarls at em when he is outside and chases em when they ain't begging me for food. Needless to say I am trying to get the animals to work things out between each other. I think the cat just his antics as a sport he hasn't really harmed one of em yet. He is a bit old and over weight due to his good fortune of having me as his dad. The other domestic cats I have seem to realize the big black birds and I are friends now. There is one big fat crow I Nic Named Angus and or call him Boss Man. Angus seems to have a vocabulary with some sort of accent. A few times the bird has cursed used curse words at the cats and my customers that stop by for my lawn mower service. He seems to be the biggest one and the loudest and seems to be communicating with me. That big crow more or less calls the shots when he wants me put food out and doesn't want me to feed them. In more ways than one I say he is communicating with me rather well.

They are amazing. They come to me to tell me of death.

Yes it's true. I saw a crow standby just outside McDonald's

@Th30r3t1ca1 phy51c5 Well, we don't really have a way to study that. Because one of its ancestors is smart, doesn't mean it was.

ive seen deer look both ways before crossing a street. but yeah crows are smart af.

@Molly McConnell aww thanks for the info

So crows are smarter than ravens

2020 ayyy

But in Germany there are the 2nd most chapters of Hells Angels etc. in the world. :D But maybe they're bird watchers as well. xD

Where? Sounds like a questionable conclusion. There's no a specific glare a scientist can give to suggest to a crow how to bend a metal wire into a hook, for instance.

​@@TucoBenedicto It's not a glare. They follow the gaze alterations of our eyes and catch on to what were looking at. And I don't think OP is talking about that specific study. There are loads of studies on corvids, not just the bent wire at Oxford. If you're interested look up "Birds read human eyes"

So they really are smart, solving a puzzle is impressive but using someone eyes to take a hint is something else entirely.

It's like inductive reasoning

They’re so clever it’s adorable 😂

Well he didn't see that one before hand. Lol

Well done! 😊☺ You make me very very happy having adopted a living being who was rejected bcoz he was norm blind. Very kind of you.

I just found one that was rejecting for being sick. Took it to the vet and got antibiotics and its doing great going on trips and all. I hope he can rejoin his flock eventually tho he has become very familiar with me. It all depends on how much he had already learned when i found him i suppose. Funny coincidence it is; i also named “ him” Roy

Considering they have the intelligence of a 7 year old(although this is an understatement imo, because it's a false comparison ignoring their other abilities and unique intelligence) yes. But probably only because there are adults with disorders and/or damage causing mental impairment. A healthy adult would be guaranteed smarter, if only because human capabilities allow us to solve problems they can't or can't quickly, but not a fair comparison of intelligence once again, because it's focused on what we can do and they can't, rather than vice versa.

The issue in this comparison is in evaluating intelligence relative to their abilities and life situation. For ravens to use tools spontaneously demonstrates capabilities far beyond humans in a similar scenario...as tools are necessary for human survival. We tend to evaluate capacity in crazy ways. Sure mankind understands physics. But birds live physics, as do all sea creatures. It is an amazing world.

cliche does nót exsist...it is made up so be free sweetheart!

no

chance you underestimate the power of our opposable thumbs

I agree that our thumbs help us out a lot. However, I do think you overestimate their brains. I do admit I may be misunderstanding you when you say "very impressive tools even by our standards", that hook that the bird made was impressive; but that was by my bird standards. If I kept to human standards it takes quite a bit more to impress.

But that time will have to come when pigs fly high in the sky 🐷⛅️

They'd fly into my window and play GTA with me....

Yes. All the black birds are lovely to watch.

Kia Sophia great conversationalist and far more interesting than most humans

and, they smell death. I hunt on the Canadian border, Stumble, fall and lay there for 10 minutes, here they come. Dead or alive, they are looking...

Brent Hunter - murderer

I am with Brent 100%. I hate ravens. We have hundreds where I live and they are the worst scavengers. Oh yes intelligent all right. They work together to pop off the lids to everyone's garbage cans and make a huge mess everywhere. They are loud and obnoxious, harass my little dog all the time, and everyone else's, when there is plenty of food in the surrounding area. But my hate came from when a friend of mines little kitten got outside and as he went to get it, (mind you he's in a wheelchair), a raven swooped down and grabbed this poor helpless kitten, flew up to the tree right above and proceeded to eat it alive!! I showed up right after that and will never forget the horrifying screams of that poor baby.An yes, they do eat their eyes out when they are still alive and their brains.I love animals, but there is nothing anyone could say to me to change my mind. Believe me, I have since researched these creatures and I will take a dolphin over their "intelligence" any day!!!

I really believe they are joking or debating around!

When I was around 10-12 years old I fostered a jackdaw chicken two summers (different birds of course!). They were amazing little creatures, imitating everything. Imagen a jackdaw trying to figure out how to brusch his teeth🤣! Neither of them needed a moment of thinking when we put a piece of cheese in a match box, while they watched, and gave the box to them. One foot on top of the box and pulled "the drawer", using the beak! More social than a dog! Almost anyway, always in the middle of everything, whether it was mum cooking, dad fixing something with the car or me and my friends playing. As we walked, so did the jackdaws. I had to train them to fly by have them sit on my hand and wave my arm up - down - up - down to force them to use their wings and later gently throw them, not from a tall hight of course. Both of them had a great sense of humor. They loved to tease, pull ones hair or clothes, steal ones pen while writing, land on ones shoulder, crying "keeaaaaa" right in to your ear. No mistake, RIGHT in to the ear. On purpose, only to have the reaction! Especially the one we named Krax ('krucks' means that sound birds of the crow family say) was a little devil in disguise🤣. My granny liked to sit on the porch playing solitaire. And Krax liked to watch. One day he (or she, we'll never know) got tired of watching and thought it was time to brighten things up! He took a pile of the deck and flew up on the roof. Put the cards down and watched us going nuts. He definitelly understood he passed the limit of what's acceptable naughtiness and brought back a few cards, however I (smallest, lightest = less risk to break any tiles, and the fact "it's your jackdaw, get the cards!") had to climb the roof and collect the rest of the cards. With a very pleased jackdaw on my shoulder... In early fall they left home for their wild family. At the beginning they were away for just a short while, but the length increased in a short period of time. In late September they only visited us, but what I find interesting is, they brought home friends for dinner! One rather fat jackdaw and another five - six normal looking 😂 sat in the old oak tree. The fat one came down greeting his human family with both caressing and chat. After a while the others came down on the lawn, but kept distance. After time Krax (and Flax, means "flip") turned more wild than domestic. In the part of Sweden where we lived the most jackdaws, especially the young ones, move south during winter. So after November they were gone 😢😢😢. I read somewhere that jackdaws have over 30 different sounds, and they have endlessly ways to organize the order in speach. I wish I could understand their language, obviously so much more refined than most people could guess!

Where do you live?!

@@annabackman3028 Thank you for your wonderful stories!! I love birds, they are always willing to teach us if we just listen!

I was impressed that she didn't just rest on her royalty her whole life, and instead contributes to humanity.

Except I thought it was kind of hilarious when she said she had wished a poor bird would fall out of its nest when she was a kid😂 I was like Nooo little girl you don’t want that!

Yolo Swaggins hahah right. This is great though.

I was thinking the same thing. A pretty princess who uses her brain. Disney should make a princess based on her.

T Leaf Yes, and although the video didn't show them, they are the smartest. Well, they along with crows. Ravens and crows have the largest brains, in comparison to body size, of all birds.

All this time, I thought she was saying "jackdoor". :/

i came for ravens and got jackdaw porn. not even mad though

I believe parrots have them beat on that one, but they are somehow still smarter than parrots.

The Creators wonderful creatures ,amein.

Amen, not amien

Its a good thing coz they know if a man is bad or not..they easily remember a murderer face..if they remember it.it cries a warning

some theories suggest that birds, and crowes specifically can sense aggressive intent in primates and that a human holding an unloaded weapon is different from one holding a loaded weapon in this regard. All in all very fascinating stuff

This is pretty interesting right here. The reply about aggressive intent seems plausible. But how exactly they knew would probably take lots of tests recreating the situation and looking for variables. Let’s just say they’re supa smaht guyy.

That is one of the coolest things I have ever heard.

Good work 👍 Princess 👸💜🙏

Idol 😅

I heard one dipped a McNugget in sauce and it was wild

Mine as well. They are amazing

Kuya Wil, bakit nandito ka? HAHAHAHHAHA

They have always been respected in Asian culture, specially in China, Japan and Korea. They are a symbol of power, guidance and fortune.

I was given that opportunity with an injured LA FREEWAY pigeon & he eventually went back to the wilderness, to a MUCH BETTER area & had his pigeon 🕊️🐦👍 WIFE & kids and a happy life. It is a long, amazing true story .

They're gorgeous terms, I'm going to start using those now!

They do have a cute waddle, I like it when they hop as well.

But its "spontaneous behavior" Yeah whatever I think that can learn too

So true ! If it were American bikers they would probably be selling meth !!!

+jason antigua not all American bikers are bad. Some biker clubs formed to rescue abused dogs, some help abused children so their parents won't be too many more. the hoes on and gets better. however. It's 2:00 am here and I need to go to sleep.

The American Biker clubs such as Hell's Angels were started by disaffected vets from WW2, mostly AFB- fighter pilots who faced the murderous Nazis. They had seen how the German population was so easily spun by the pier pressure and benefit of hate, and thus became it, no, I have many friends now in Germany, some of the most peaceful folks I know and like me, we all love the blues, yet a wall ago, the biker in the USA came to represent as the USA does, a separation between the government and the people, that the people should never blindly follow any cause. It still happens, it is a battle of wills. The older bikers I know, including family and friends, we don't sell meth or guns at all. That is case by case. The only ones I kick ass on, the ones with Swastikas, as that is UNAmerican, haters, and do not truly represent the M C at all. German bikers are no different than any other individual differences we all accept. It is our unity. Hope you can savvy that. Good and bad in all cultures, so please be fair when you speak of any other. Best to always clean our own houses first. Best wishes... and a clear view. CorVus...

We have the bad bikers here in Germany too. In my home town the Hells Angles control the prostitution business and are involved in other shady businesses. A few years ago their leader was shot in a public cafe. But most biker clubs are just normal people that like to ride bikes and I very much suspect you have nice bikers in the states as well. The world isn't black and white.

yeah, we're allowed to wear our colors over here. Heard they passed a law against that in Germany. shame.

My favourite birds are penguins

Crows are more intelligent than dogs.Dogs are just obeident thats all

Oh, didn't notice that lol

I commented about it as well 😂

I started laughing when I heard his name. I would bet $100 that he is just a crow that made himself a human suit and taught himself German.

Duckati #21 also Bird in Dutch 😂

*chuckles in german*

Cause Odin was a Druid living in a Viking world.... lol The Morrigan is a Celtic goddess of fate/war, death and rebirth. And she was often believed to take the form of Ravens and is also known as the "Raven Goddess"

@@xinic5 The raven goddess? Sounds like something I would love to check out.

@@xinic5 You think she was in part what inspired the comic book character?

agreed

Machabe Leloka jrgcityckgf mgf

I heard magpies are the only bird that has passed the mirror self-awareness test. As a member of the corvid family, they must at least compare to ravens.

It's all about getting the most views. I think in order to have mass appeal, you have to speak to the common man (or woman). Most KZfaq viewers won't be looking for videos on 'Corvids', but everyone knows the word 'raven'. Also, the video description does clarify that the video is about Corvids.

86isaac You're sharp. Impressive. And yes, you must be right. But the title did poke me in the wrong kinds of places because it mostly centers around jackdaws than ravens or crows. Regardless, you're right (y)

+Smeiksmeiksmeik Is it coincidence that his last name is German for bird (Vogel)?

+John Nguyen dude thats spooky :O i call illuminati - they originated in bavaria and the girl is "Princess Auguste of Bavaria"

Almost as weird as that spelling. But I'll let you off on account of your germanness.

I am American but can speak German. When it would happen on German tv I couldn't understand either because my stronger language was quieter. when english is the louder language I don't even notice.

'Wiered', I like this one

Dinosaurs are a hoax

wheres you proof?

@@templar_dragonknight if you think on bones, i hope you know that mostly all at museums are fake because whole dinosaurus was never really found, so they assumed new animal look and made up some bones to combine them with some that are already found, but those found bones could be literally from any animal...

They never say the dinosaurs still thrive on this planet. The planet had a few catastrophes, the O2 level was reduced (less sun for photosynthesis, plants quit taking in CO2 and producing O2, water.). Gee, the CO2 didn't accumulate, it went down down down, O2 went down...the largeness of animals/insects could not be supported on less O2. Dinosaurs adapted and thrive to this day. Very successful part of life...

Well actually we, humans have also evoled from dinosaurs

They do that in germany too.

I burst out laughing when he said that, too! LOL

🧍🏻

PEACE Imagine if they evolved the same way as humans. Humanoid birds.

Should be made into a movie.

@@controllerbrain A movie about humanoid ravens and their civilization? Definitely would see it.

I would like that to happen, the idea of a civilization of humanoid corvids had always interested me. I even though of a game where the main character is humanoid crow, but it's a horror survival game though. But the thing that we need to worry about is the chances of them starting a war with each other.
