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.
There was a story on here about a little girl that used to feed the Raven and he would bring her gifts constantly. They seem to be more thankful than people
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!
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.
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.
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?
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
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!
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?
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
here are two more ways to differentiate crows from ravens: Ravens have a bluish sheen to their feathers. If you know what the color of a recently blued gun looks like, (known as gun metal blue) that's the sheen a Raven has. Crows feathers are matte black. The throat of a Raven is very different because they have a much larger voice box that enables them to make far more sounds than a crow. Because a Ravens voice box is so large, you will notice that the Raven, particularly when it's crop is full, will have feathers protruding outwards and down from it's throat, almost finger like looking feathers. One more way: Crows almost always just make the same sound over and over, CAW CAW CAW, but the Raven can make a large variety of sounds because it has a much larger voice box. Raven's can even mimic other birds or even human speech or any other sound they hear
That's not specifically true.. there are many different types of crows. Some crows sound more like ravens and are able to make different noises. I've noticed since I've started feeding crows and getting to know them and communicating with them the last three years, I've witnessed a wide range of different vocalisations. At the same time, it also needs to be pointed out, I live in the UK, and the crows here, make a different sound to American crows. American crows say 'aaaa aaaa' whereas UK crows say 'crrr crrr' and have a specific noise similar to a raven, like a rolled rrrr noise, just higher pitch. I've also heard crows making all kinds of sounds like they are mimicing humans also, like 'bow bow bow' or 'haahahha' like laughing or just gentle rrrrrrr rrrrrr or clicking as well. I've also had one of my own crows I feed coming to sit on a lamp--post next to me one time saying 'crerro' like he was saying hello to me in a crow accent but couldn't pronounce the l, like a Chinese crow accent. I say hello to my crows often, so therefore he wanted to say hello back.. American crows I've noted from watching online videos also seem to be much more gregarious than in the UK. In the UK, they tend to have much smaller family groups based around a breeding pair and the most recent year's fledglings who will then move on and find their own territory with the new spring as new chicks are born. For example, I've been feeding two breeding pairs who always appreciate me helping with the newly hatched each year but then last year's always move after a year once they've found their own mate. There are some cases of big flocks however they are rarer and normally found in old woodland in remote countryside areas so might be centuries old. You don't get the big flocks in cities that you do in the USA however.
@@liliaaaaaaaa That's all very interesting. Obviously you have a lot more experience with crows than I do. I have to admit I'm jealous. I'll definitely give crows more respect from now on.
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.
ravens are always bigger than crows. Unless you are referring to an immature raven which may not have a full length tail but still considerably larger than a crow.
What happened to the pelicans in FL. Years ago (decades actually) they were always flying around Miami and Ft. Lauderdale beaches. Then they just disappeared.
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
@FTW 111 Thanks really you are a great persnality many people saw reded but ignored only you replird jist a msg to conyey pls share this with everyone u meet thanks
I waited 50 years to even ask the question of what's the difference between raven and crow. Thanks for making this video 👍 now I will know what's barking at me from the pecan trees 😉
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
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.
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?)
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.
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. 😊
Thank you for the information! As I went to work the other day there was this raven crow flying beside me to the ground. Then I made some click sounds and suddenly the bird followed me and flew around my head. Any idea what I said to it? 😃 It didn’t attack me, but flew very close to my head. Somehow I don’t think it wanted to attack me, maybe it thought I have something to eat with me? It was in a midtown area where several trees are planted but I couldn’t say that there was a nest of crows nearby. Or maybe it thought I am a crow too?! 😃🤷♂️Ideas, anyone?! 😁
Animals are many times led by spirit to do certain things. So most likely it needed to get u a message. If we watch for clues in our lives, we can see that we are being guided.
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.
Idk which black bird it was that I saw but the one I saw outside the recenter in Toronto was like 3ft tall and massive. I thought it came from Amazon jungle
took me a while to realize they're taxidermied birds and not live ones lmao
Well, after all, a natural history museum exhibit is supposed to bring them to life for you.
I would have never realized had I not seen this comment 😂
I thought the crow was real. Lol
reminds me of a Monty Python skit
I thought they were uberdermed
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.

Most excellent.
I waited 50 years to even ask the question of what's the difference between raven and crow. Thanks for making this video 👍 now I will know what's barking at me from the pecan trees 😉
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

So lovely! In Dubai there is a large population. I think they are crows 🖤 and some of them are a bit less black
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.
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?)
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.
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. 😊
Wow they actually still sound alot alike
Well explained!
He could 'have not' matched with them. ;)

Thank you for the information! As I went to work the other day there was this raven crow flying beside me to the ground. Then I made some click sounds and suddenly the bird followed me and flew around my head. Any idea what I said to it? 😃 It didn’t attack me, but flew very close to my head. Somehow I don’t think it wanted to attack me, maybe it thought I have something to eat with me? It was in a midtown area where several trees are planted but I couldn’t say that there was a nest of crows nearby. Or maybe it thought I am a crow too?! 😃🤷♂️Ideas, anyone?! 😁
Animals are many times led by spirit to do certain things. So most likely it needed to get u a message. If we watch for clues in our lives, we can see that we are being guided.
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.
very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Cool, thank you. I see so many crows here in Colorado.

Not too many ravens where I live, but crows everywhere. It's almost rare for me to see a raven when I'm out and about.

The crow and raven in this video are very well behaved. LOL! 😀
Because they are stuffed: taxidermied
@@MsBleau No 💩
@@lightningbrigade4722 quite a few think they are alive
What about a writing desk?
Plus Ravens can fly much higher in the air, Ravens have actual talons like toes/claws.
Thanks for that!!

Nice information but how long does it take for the crow to become a Raven?
Ravens can mimic speech.
Cool stuff to know thanks !

😊 thank you 😊
I like both.
Idk which black bird it was that I saw but the one I saw outside the recenter in Toronto was like 3ft tall and massive. I thought it came from Amazon jungle
