      actually it would be more impressive if he was mimicking words instead of mimicking her voice, he’s just echoing what he’s hearing which is why it’s the same voice. if he was mimicking words, it would mean he is able to separate and understand what she’s actually saying from her vocal tone. to him, it’s just a sound unless he is trained to associate the sound with something (like the tire)

    We rescued a baby crow, years ago. That's when I found out how smart they are. When he was able to fly, we took him outside to release him back to the wild, but he/she didn't want to leave. So we kept it on the back patio and brought him in at night. After about 3 months he finally flew off with the other crows that constantly circled our home and make a lot of noise every time He would land on my shoulder. Awesome birds.

    A couple of years ago, I had a dozen crows in the big trees surrounding. They were crowing at each other. When one crowed 3 times, I responded with my best 4 crowings. A few moments went by and the same crow gave up 5 crowings. I responded with 6 crowings. A few seconds went by and sure enough, I got 7 crowings back and all of them immediately and simultaneously flew off. Just an anecdote.

    We had an African Grey parrot growing up. This bird was so smart he would mimic the most random things. My brother had this very loose handle on an old radio boom box. Whenever he’d move it or touch it, the handle would drop and make a noise as it bounced off the plastic. He mimicked that so perfectly you couldn’t tell. He also mimicked the phone ringing so well we’d be constantly walking over to the phone realizing it was him. Doorbells, any beeping. It was perfect.

      Oh, and he also locked his cage during the night, and unlocked it in the morning.

We loved him and he chose my dad. They like to choose one person in the family they love the most and as much as you try you’ll never be able to have that. He had it with my dad and my dad forgot he was on his shoulders because it was so natural he took him outside and the bird got scared when my dad lifted some kind of trash can lid maybe. And the little guy flew off and we never found him again. We left his cage out in the yard where we lost him hoping he’d see it. It was devastating to us all.

It would sit outside her bedroom window (my grandmother did not allow it in the house) and like Mary's little lamb, followed her to school, embarrassing my mom who felt she had to constantly explain to amused townsfolk, "No, he's not mine - we're just friends." Her teachers soon learned to keep the classroom windows open no more than a few inches, but whenever someone in the school forgot this precaution, my mom's class would be interrupted by someone asking for "Kathleen to come and fetch her friend" LOL

    You don't seem "obsessed" with Tuck at all! You two are friends. The world needs more caring people like you!
    About friendship with birds and bird intelligence, I had many parakeet friends since I was a little girl. They all had their unique personalities, and they all were such loving little guys and gals. One of them, a blue parakeet named Skye, lived to be 14 years old. He used to imitate the sound of my teapot's whistle to get me to run into the room and pay attention to him. He knew when I was sad. He used to sidle up to me and say, "Don't be scared." I believe birds have souls, so I'm betting I'll see my little friends in Heaven some day.

      When I was a little kid we got a cockatiel and quickly him and I grew close. He would imitate many sounds I made, whole melodies, everything. He would follow me everywhere as well. He was a great soul, but a mistake was made and he flew away never to be seen again. Maybe I could have found him that day, I don't know. I was 10 when it happened and clearly not well suited to be the one who mostly hanged out with such a pet. To this day I regret it so very much because he could've still been with us. After that I rather didn't get another pet like him. They deserve so much better.

    I once met an old lady in Scotland who lived in a cottage right by a tiny green villeage square with four huge oaks on it. Right before dusk at least 100 large black crows of some kind would, one by one, silently settle in the trees above. The ladies front garden below was full of lovely roses and there was a large home made birdbath and stone fountain, and it was clear the birds were watching over her and very protective of her, monitoring me closely and calling to one another when I spoke with her across her low garden wall, sending a few messengers down to have a closer look at me. I was thouroughly vetted.
    I think she fed them seeds, but there were so many of them, that was hardly the point. The relationship was clearly their choice, and like something out of a storybook. She was widowed since many years and had one taken guests for B&B in her several hundred yearold stone cottage. There was also an absolutely ancient church on the grounds of a former mideval marketplace in the rear of the square, and I'd have dinner in an upstairs restaurant every evening with a view of everything. Various times of day passing by I'd always see at least 4 or 5 ariund her front door, a few on the stone walls, watching her tend the the roses, keeping her company.
    She was indeed a lovely lady.
    The day I left I wanted to pick a few feathers from the ground underneath the trees to remeber them by. I got the side-eye and a few loud comments from above! So I looked up and explained and asked permission.
    I have a whole bunch of these scattered oil black feathers in a large envelope picked under careful monitoring with consent.
    Birds of the crow family are considered of much more advanced intelligence than dogs, from scientific research. They also form strong bonds and are known to be quite protective. Their eyesight and memory is incredible, so you don't want to wrong someone with crow friends watching or you could get hurt. There are also many examples of intervention of crows when people they care about are mistreated.
    I've read and heard about all that, but really experienced there presence and intelligence there first hand.
    This was before lockdown. I hope the lady is doing well and her winged friends too.
    I'll never forget the sight of those 4 trees covered with black crows in absolute stillness, so still you had to look twice to discover them, at dusk on the east coast of Scotland.

      @C Mulvenna Dornoch! 😉 If you don't golf (I do not) there's not much to do but nice for a day. There's two antiques shops, one bookstore, a nice little shop of tweed remnants (bought a few for a chair seat and throw) and a bigger one with lovely plaids, clothes and bags. The upstairs restaurant was lovely, and a walk on the shoreline too, and the church a must with beautiful stained glass and big stone slabs outside in the churchyard from the ancient market.
      There's a second restaurant on the main street near the church square worth reservations too (get busy in summer)!
      Oh and there's the Castle Hotel which was booked due to a tornament, with a lovely garden to enjoy fantastic artisan gin or whisky! Of course, if you're into golf you must have been there, I'm sure.
      I also met a visiting couple from another area on the road who each had a wolf in lead! They were wolf-dog hybrids, and I couldn't touch them, but just magnificent, calm (but apprehensive about strangers understandibly).
      I arrived very late in the evening having booked over the internet but moved out after breakfast (high end hotel with view of the course and shore but only old rich American male golfers with Teslas parked out front all reading the Wallstreet Journal for breakfast ) and found a curious B&B a stones throw from the square for the next night, run by a lovely local couple. I loved my Scottish experience, I was there almost a month, mostly Edinburgh, but some travelling around the lower highlands. The Scots are wonderful, and all the places I visited were just so steeped in atmosphere, and stories. I didn't expect it to be so warm yet rain a few times a day. All the humidity and mosscovered stone... It was this organic feel like even the stoned where sentient and had stories to tell. All the old mythology, druid culture, superstitions and Celtic culture made complete sense in a country like that.
      I'd live to spend more time there, I the Scots are so kind, relatable and creative! ❤️

    When I was a kid my mother rescued a crow that fell out of the nest. She brought it to a vet. He showed her how to take care of it. She had to make a formula to feed it with an eyedropper. As it got bigger it was able to eat bits of meat and later on seeds. Because it became domesticated there was no possible way it would survive in the wild. We ended up having it as a pet. It lived for about 14 years. It was a great pet. It learned our names, and it got along with our dog. It liked to perch on people's shoulders. It liked to ride on top of the dog's back. Sometimes it would eat out of the dog's bowl and drink its water. The dog would wait till it was finished. It learned how to say some words. It was a very funny bird. It was always making us happy. Great pet!

Once Arrow was strong enough to fly away, he'd come back at least once a week every week for about 7 years and tap on my bedroom window🖤 he loved to perch on my forearm or shoulder and we'd take walks around the block together like that! He finally stopped showing up, so I presumed he'd passed away. I still think of him often. He was a wonderful bird, just like Tuck is. RIP Arrow🖤

      The young one ("Rascal"), still ocationally begs his mum to be fed.
      However, she's seen him gobble up bits of crustless brown bread, so now has retired from feeding duty. He still needs to cuddle for comfort though, so they sit closely together sometimes.
      Usually under an agave plant.
      "Rascal" also likes to sit on the park bench back rest, about half a metre away from me.
      Watching me feed the sparrows, pigeons, and small seagulls hopping around my feet.
      I think he expects me to hand feed him sat there, like I sometimes do eager sparrows... 🤔
      He's quite smart. Today he stole a bread crust meant for a gull.
      He then soaked the crust in a small fountain pool, to soften it to his liking.

So I began feeding it to him daily and he was much improved for years. Now because he is just absolutely ancient, he's slowly getting more arthritic.

      My friend is an elderly man & this dog is basically his baby along with the two cats. I'm the same with my two indoor cats. Except they only get a couple of tiny bites of things I'm eating. Unless I cook freezer burned chicken for them.

    I have 30yrs experience in the avian field and "Corvids" are probably some of my favorite class of birds to work with. They are HIGHLY intelligent, can learn human speech, figure out complex puzzles, and develop VERY strong family bonds with each other. They comprise of the following birds; Ravens, Crows, Rooks, Magpies, Jackdaws, Jays, & Nutcrackers. And this is a Hooded Crow i believe more "Raven like" then Crow in behavior. A little larger then our American Crows we have here in the U.S. beautiful corvids in my humble opinion. I remember being on a field expedition over in Norway one year and witnessed a Common Raven learning how to fish...!!! He watched this man at an ice hole for a few weeks studying him very diligently. Well the man left the ice hole but left the line in. The Raven learned how to work the line between his beak and his talons until he got a bite. And then pulled the fish up out of the ice hole and flew off with it. Yeah if your thinking UNBELIEVABLE try watching it live and in living color folks...!!! It was fascinating to say the least. And it's also why i love these birds so much. They never cease to amaze me.

      The crow in this video is not a hooded crow, which would be native to Europe, but is an African pied crow, native of course to parts of Africa. The most visible difference is the hooded crow is black and gray while the pied crow is black and white. Also, ravens do not have talons like a bird of prey. They, along with all the corvids, are actually songbirds like sparrows, and their feet and toenails are similar, being made for walking or hopping and grasping tree branches, not for holding prey.

And you will see the Crow rip the heart right out of the Gophers chest cavity. YES VERY GRAPHIC so be forewarned if you view it. And yes Ravens are the largest songbird we have that i knew as well. I appreciate your insight.

      @@tomtalker2000 Yes, ravens and crows can break skin, but only thin skin like that of a gopher. The thick skin of larger animals is too much for a raven, which is why they have been known to call wolves or coyotes to open up a carcass.

      i'm in juneau, alaska, which i truly believe may be ruled by ravens . . . there are zillions of the guys/gals around here, squawking and demanding and correcting us humans at all times. we went out to the harbor the other day and were waiting for our boat. primary entertainment was watching a bald eagle steal a plastic garbage sack from a group of ravens. were they upset! stalked around him yelling and grumbling. he didn't seem to care much. interesting interaction. they're a delight and (a small) torment when you get on their wrong side. hard not to get interested in them.

    Yup believe it or not, crows can mimic human speech. They do it the same way parrots do, using their syrinx to mimic words and sounds they hear and repeat them. People really underestimate the intelligence of crows and ravens. Crows are among some of the most intelligent creatures on our planet (birds in general are; which is why it doesn't make sense bird brain is still used as an insult). Scientists did a study and have discovered they remember your face, they talk about you to other crows, they remember what you did, and more crows will attack if they heard you've done something wrong. Yup, they plan for the future too!
