It is very easy to do more harm than good when handling any wildlife.

Did you know that Quran mentioned 1400 years ago that Crows tough human how to greave human body.

Back in the mid 60s ,A friend of mines uncle used to plow his fields with a horse and plow rig, the crows would follow behind him and eat the various bugs that were unearthed by the plow. He would guide the horse by making clicking type noises from his mouth, one time when he went inside to relieve himself and stopped at the sink to wash his hands, looking out the window above the sink, he noticed the horse was moving not standing and waiting for him, there was one of the crows, standing on the plow handle mimicking the clicking noises he would make to get the horse moving 😂
HA!😀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great story
Awesome!
This is amazing!
That was a great closing wherein you said crows remember the faces of people who have done them wrong as well as the faces who are kind to them and give them treats. I know this to be true with blue jays as well (another bird that gets a bad rap from humans that do not really know them at all). The eight blue jays in the park near to where I live absolutely like me. I've been feeding them daily through this harsh northeastern winter and they call to me as soon as they see me, one tips my hat with his wing, then sits on the closest branch to my shoulder, murmurs very soft talk while bobbing near my shoulder and I give him (and all of them) almonds (excellent winter food). I tell them they are beautiful and smart birds (I get some strange looks from people but I ignore most people anyway) and they twist their heads, fly closer down the tree to me and stare at me. This can go on for almost an hour until some noisy kids or people blabbing on cell phones get too close. Then the blue jays fly away. But they come back the next day as soon as they see me. I just love them and they know it.
68lincoln .....I also love BlueJays....I had a relationship with a family of ScrubJays when I lived inWashington State. Now here in Virginia it is the BlueJays. Do you still have the 1968 Lincoln? Would you be willing to sell it?
5 years ago you said this.....what a wonderful comment 😍
That’s wonderful. Good for you!
Such a lovely story, thank you for sharing. 💕
hi lesley
your voice is so well suited
for these documentaries.
always a great view and
listen. go crow's.
peace, rich
Hi, Rich
Thanks for checking out the video, and thank you for the nice comment.
Glad you enjoyed!! Crows are awesome!!!
Have a great day
My favorite bird!! I LOVE crows!! 🐦⬛🐦⬛
Your true stories make me feel calm, knowing that the crow is a savior.🙋♀️❤
Lesley, I deeply appreciate your vids & channel! You love birds & it shows!
Great mini documentary! I especially enjoyed learning about their family dynamics.
jennifer love Thanks Jennifer, glad you enjoyed it. They are a really interesting and intelligent bird.
Love this docu! Crows are fantastic!
Thank you!! I agree with you, crows are fantastic, I love them!!
Love them crows! So smart and funny 😁 👍
What an excellent short on crows, Lesley :) Insightful and well presented. I live in Utica, NY and fortunately for me, we have a very large population and I can never see enough of these fascinating creatures. They are vastly underrated and make an interesting study. Thanks for your documentary-Caw Caw!
Thank you, Larry. As with your location, we too have a large population of crows, and like with you I can't get enough of them either :) They are awesome. Really happy to know you enjoyed this my little documentary on them. Have a great day - Caw caw, by the way, I enjoy hearing their caws.
I’m so grateful I found your channel 😍 thank you for everything you do ♥️
There are a number of crows near my city's main library. As soon as I come near, they know it, and as soon as I put food on the ground, they call their family and friends, about 15-20 all told. I also know a crow family of 3 which I believe consists of parents and offspring. I always keep a few peanuts for them.
Aww that is so awesome and nice of you.
Those crows definitely know whose who, really smart birds, and quite the characters too. I'd say you're right too about the third member of the family of three being an offspring.
LesleytheBirdNerd
The offspring do stay with the family for years. I find crows quite amusing. A few of the library gang have landed within 2 feet of me in order to get first dibs.
Thanks for your knowledge of the beautiful birds, and dashing crows ...
They're so cute and super smart.
Wonderful video of one of my favorite birds. They are so smart and just plain old beautiful. Love it, bravo! (✿◠‿◠)
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. :)
Lesley - I loved this video - I see no imperfections, only beauty and interactions of birds, their families, etc. It helps those of us that do not get a chance to see up close that which you can. - Stephanie
P.S. - The noise the crow makes at around 7:38 reminds me of the sound a female Blue Jay makes (I forgot what you called it and it almost sounds like a type of frog).
Great little documentary. Someday I would like to know the answer to this mystery: how do crows recognize each other and tell each other apart? They have to be able to do that to live in family groups as they do, but I sure don't know how because they sure look alike to me.
We have had 3 at home. They all look and behave different.
Great video! I love crows and have have a surprisingly deeo affinity to them. So watching this really made me happy to watch :) Crows and Ravens. They're my favourites.
Thank you. Always nice to read comments from other people who like the crows as well. Ravens are really cool too.
I've always admired them. I have one tattooed on my shoulder watching my back. I can say crow in 4 languages.
a Crow is clever ........i love it !!!
Thanks for sharing this document
Great upload Lesley! Wonderfully done. :))
:) Thank you
omg! I love it! the FRAAAG in the BAAAG
Thanks Lesley, lovely video narrated with a sense of humour. When I go for a walk I have to take peanuts with me. 3 sets of crows on my route can recognise me from a distance of 200 + yards and fly down close for their treats. If only one comes, they always call out 3 times for the others to come. Guess that's English crow for food's ready
I have two bird nests in my yard a bushtit nest (Babies just hatched), and a crow nest I have learned to tell them apart the male always hangs out on the power line and the female has a really cool white feathers under her tail. And she usally is in the nest or in the pine tree.They are fun to watch
Awe, how awesome!! Bushtits are super cute, wish we had them here. I've yet to find a crows nest, love to though. I bet it is fun watching them
If you want to find Crow's nest it is like sailors observed, they are at the very top of the tree. It is hard to observe them because of leaves on the trees at the time of egg laying.
A big family reunion! LOL. That's so funny. :) I had no idea crows made so many different sounds! Amazing!
+Lorna D Hahaha, too cute right?! Love them guys. Crows are very vocal, and I was surprised to when I heard all the other types of calls they make, I just thought they made "caw caw" and that was sit, lol.
Thanks for watching
Awesome! Great footage!
Thanks, Ryan
That was great. Thanks for sharing. I have some Crow youngsters that hang out in my backyard, esp around 5pm. We had a snake event yesterday and once my heart rate went down, I noticed there were ma y gathered in the tree just above me, watching and perhaps cheering me on in getting the snakes to move along.
I use to leave birdseed, dry cat food, table scraps on my driveway around 530pm everyday and if i didnt feed them the crows would fuss until i left some food out.
Thanks for uploading the video very informative
To put it simply, Crows are so damned cool......
Oh my god they are so cute.
At 7,++ I have Crows from 11 years old in the old country. I don't have them anymore but sure I wish I do get one, or even two.
Beautiful, thank you again.
Thank you. :)
2:30 Maybe the crow took a dim view to the cat trying to chase him in the tree?
Love Love
Interesting intro documentary about Crows. I really enjoy it. I'm a little interested in birds because i have a lot of them in my neighborhood and see or hear them everyday.
Excellent Video...
I truly love your videos.
I might sometimes say off the wall things but I'm only joking.
I'm a nerd to because I've already watched this 😁🍻
very nice video. thanks!
Very nice film sequences. I like crows, ravens and jackdaws. They appear so rough, but in their inside they are very likeable creatures :-)
+Polymabio I 100% agree. Thanks for the nice comment :)
great video. I have 2 crows that I have been feeding for 5 years. every morning they stand outside my window and call me and I give them nuts. They are so intelligent its amazing. its now up to 5 crows as 3 of their kids come too. based on the info in this video, after 2 years will the kids no longer accompany them once the baby crows sexually mature?
Thank you for the comment
Crow youngsters will stay with their parents for at least 2 years, but they may stay for many years after being sexually mature, and I've read that even when the kids go off to build a family of their own they will still keep in contact with their family. I've witnessed that with my first crow family. Crows are super awesomely fun and very intelligent. Love those birds, and I'm happy that you have a family who comes to you as well.
+maha77 If you provide sufficient food, they'll stick around until judgement trump!
Canids are a lot like crows! The fox, wolf, coyote, wild dog are all monogamous and they mate for life. A lot of people don't know this and think they live in "packs." The packs are actually families, and just like the crows, the offspring will often stay with mom and dad for a few seasons and will help out when the new puppies are born. An inexperienced researcher mistakenly thought the families he saw were "packs" and he developed the whole "alpha" theory. It has been disproven and the researcher has apologized for misleading people, but many still think wolves, etc, have alpha male and alpha female, but those are just mom and dad and their kids, lol. Crows are awesome, btw. I love learning about them.
I attract a lot of crows, they usually get here right around the time the jays leave for their mating season.
I LOVE the sounds they make. Especially the babies.
Do you also get magpies in your area? They are also quite interesting to watch and listen to! :)
Thank you for the great video again Lesley!
Question: do bluejays and crows get along together?
I have a starling and a jay that are best buds.
I have a crow and a squirrel that are best buds.
❤ them!
8:25 large murder of crows flying. WOW!
A residence pair of ravens arrive Dailey to consume leftover cat kibble
At the bird sanctuary… enough food for all…
Not sure if the crows are jerks, or just trying to play...
Lol in all seriousness I love those birds
the dislikes are all the cats that where picked on by crows
you are a smart human
Hello i from Brasil oh beautiful bird
Lesley, thank you …can you elaborate on how to befriend a crow especially when they’re way up in the pecan tree I feed the squirrels and birds and I know they see and come down for snacks but I would love to attempt to see if they could eat out of my hand or something…
sehr schönes Video, die Krähen sieht man zwar jeden Tag, aber Du zeigst sie in einem ganz anderen Licht ...:)
Viele Grüße Thom
Thank you, for the great comment. :)
Lol
I was feeding a small murder of crows at my job for a long time, they trusted me and would land almost at my feet when i came out with the food. A kid threw a rock at one and killed it (no idea how), and they vanished, like their family packed up and moved, I found the dead one and the murder watched me put his body in the woods, they flew away and never came back.. So Fuck yeah they remember rotten people, unfortunately more so than the good ones.
💚💚💚💜💜💜💜💜
is dried Banana chips ok? I have low salt peanuts I wash off before giving to
So, I have been calling in the backyard for a few days now, and I haven't heard any Crows, but I have seen some "black birds", they are smallish, a bit smaller than a Robin. Im not sure if these are Cow Birds or Crows. Any help, please?
Love her accent :)
All toads are frogs but not all frogs are toads.
CROW REVOLUTION
Crows are amazing and super smart! If i have to be reincarnated i would be a crow
Hi Lesley, two questions if you don't mind answering. I've noticed the crows in my area are always in pairs, am wondering if that means they are partners as in male and female or a mating pair? Also i'd love to start feeding them. I've noticed a few comments here saying they will eat nuts but what kind? Also what kind of fruit do they like? Do you just throw it on the ground for them? Thanks in advance Lesley. I really enjoyed your video.
whats the best recipe for crow food anyone knows ?
I wonder if anyone knows what the different calls mean.
I have a good day at the moment
Isn't that a picture of a raven?
At 1:19: No such bird as a "seagull"; it's always "gulls."
Autodidact2 You're a negative Nellie aren't you? The only thing you have to say about the entire video is a "correction" on me calling them a seagull which ALOT of people do. Nothing positive.
Yes indeed it is true, people on the internet are the hardest to please. Always finding something negative to say about anything a person does but rarely mentioning the positives. I will continue to call them seagulls.
LesleytheBirdNerd You're proud of your ignorance, it seems.
Autodidact2 :)
+Autodidact2 I know it's been a couple of weeks but I sincerely want to apologize for how I handled your comment, under normal circumstances I don't usually behave in that way and without getting too deep, but to make you understand my current situation, life hasn't been very easy lately, on all levels.
On the day that I read your comment I was dealing with the loss of my father, who I had been caring for in the hospital, every day, for the last 3 months. It just hit me the wrong way when I read what you said.
I do like people correcting me on things I may not have realized, and people have done so in the past which I always say thanks to them for pointing it out. I'm not justifying my actions, but I'm just wanting to make peace with it because I've had time to think and clear my mind since then. I feel that it is necessary. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I should have said that in the first place. Hope there isn't any hard feelings.
Sincerely
Lesley
+Autodidact2 I prefer the term "air rat," myself. I'd shoot them if I could. Vermin.
❤🖤❤ !!~*
Toads and frogs are the same thing!
Face it. What's up with the crows is that they're jerks.
They didnt eat a single frog. Those are toads. Cant do an uninformed information video.
I don’t like crows. There’s a crow here who always picks on the mocking birds makes me mad. Leave the mockingbird alone. Jerk.
LOL
This is a terrible video!
You are a jackass.
why? what's so bad about it?
Fledgling crows begging for food when they are old enough to rely on themselves reminds me of college.
Awe you need a hug 🙂🙂 same
That crow knocking fruit off so it attracts bugs is awesome.
It?😄
@@annurajput9658 it referring to the fruit.
My children had a book that described these four crows that the family had as pets. After I learned about Crow's personalities and their intelligence, I decided to say hello to the crows at my job one morning. I would go to a Priest's house to take care of him. For some reason, There was a huge group of crows that lived on that road and they would congregate in the tall pine trees of his yard. I got out of the car and looked up at all the crows and I said good morning to them, and hello, and I sang to them a little bit. They all answered me and focused their attention on me. I went into the house and was working inside the house. The whole group of crows or part of the group came into the backyard and up near the back door which was a breezeway door. They called to me. So, I threw a bunch of cracker crumbs and bread crumbs out on the lawn for them. The Priest told me to not do that anymore as he didn't want them all in his yard or to expect me to do this everyday for them. So I didn't do it again. But, I really enjoyed interacting with the crows and I was delighted at how friendly they were to me.
Ravens sound like crows that have been smoking for 30 years. Love your videos!
This was great. Thanks. I've been trying to become more aware of crows. Found a black feather that at another time wouldn't of been as meaningful.
Great video! I love crows and have have a surprisingly deeo affinity to them. So watching this really made me happy to watch :) Crows and Ravens. They're my favourites.
Love my crows near me... I give food now and then( fruit and nuts)... do not make them depend on me... a day off I see it... feed them now and again to give then a day off from....
Had a crow come close to me one afternoon wen I was out bird watching I threw it a pice of food and it allowed me to pet it. ( the little bugger followed me all day )
i love crows. how they mess with other animals that try to go after them
A bunch of crows taunted and surrounded a hawk in my backyard who seemed to be after my toy dogs. They trapped the hawk in the lower denser branches of a tree and when it made its escape they flew all around the hawk escorting it away from my backyard ad dogs. Remarkable birds!
Lovely little documentary Leslie! 🙂 Appreciate the kind of facts and supporting clips shared. Keep it up !
Loved the video and thanks for making and sharing. I lived on the Oregon coast for quite a while and had my share of "crow buddies." I've always liked crows because I recognized their curiosity and intelligence early on. This was in the city (Albuquerque) and I always kept them in the back of my mind. Maybe it's because I'm half Chupik Eskimo, but I have alwas felt a bond with all non-human creatures; dogs and cats especially, but also crows, ravens and snakes.
In Oregon, my first "crow buddies" were a pair with a "yung-un" that started watching me durring my lunch at the lumber yard. It was obvious they knew I had something they might like. They grew bolder in the following days and I started feeding them bits of my lunch. It was pretty cool. They started to wait for me at the door that let out to the employee parking lot and precede me to my car where I ate.
At this place of employment, they eventually hired a kid of about 19. This kid would eventually hurt a crow and show me how strong their web of communication was. On a Friday afternoon in late summer, this brash young kid took it into his head that he ought to try and bean one of the crows with a rock. I told him to quit being an ass, but he was young enough to know everything and carried on. He ended up pegging one hard in the wing, breaking the bone. I was furious and heart-broken. The poor thing was going to die. The other crows in the area, upon hearing the injured cries of this crow started in with cries that brought other crows who joined in. Their cries brought more... and more... and more! Pretty soon - 3 minutes at most - most of the trees and power lines were covered with crows causing a cacophony that was unreal and a bit frightening! I asked the kid if he was proud of what he'd done, and he replied, "No, man. This is just fucked up." I agreed and told him to remember how one stone can cause such a clatter and that even crows talk to each other. He was pretty shaken by that knowledge, I can tell you.
At my next place of employment, I met two more. They were a cool couple and we wiled away my lunches amiably enough. They ate and squirreled away what the didn't eat immediately in the embankment of the highway grasses. I never quite got one to eat out of my had, but eventually got one to perch on the hood of my car and wait for a treat. Such interesting creatures! I just love their curiosity.
Anyway I'm back in Albuquerque and it's harder to latch on to a crow in the city. Too many other offers of meals and, I'm sure, a wariness of humans who generally don't appreciate their curiosity and wiles. I still hope to earn the trust of one of these wondrous creatures in this land of distrust. I hope I'm worthy of their curiosity. ;-)
Great video! I love how the crows attack the eagle. They are so brave and smart. And you've done such wonderful pictures!
Yeah, those crows aren't too worried about an eagle are they?! Have to applaud them for their bravery.
Thanks for the kind comment, makes me happy to know that you enjoyed the video!!
i hope u have a great carrier on documentaries. "even crow parents have children that stcik around for a while" hahaha amazing.
a special segment for crow language ! genious work
what was the bigger bird at 2:98 ?
keep up the good work. documentary fans need u.
Thanks very much for the nice comment, so happy that you enjoyed the little short documentary!
The bird at 2:98 was a Bald eagle
Why is 2:98 a thing lol.
I live in Nova Scotia Canada 🍁, there's a murder of crows here containing at least 150 members, they fly at night in Bridgewater using the lights of town to see, usually you hear them first, it's quite a sight to behold.
What a wealth of information, Lesley! It's impressive how thorough your documentaries are. How long did it take for you to gather all that footage? A year?
Thanks, Jo.
As thorough as it may seem though, like usual, now that it is completed and posted I can see the mistakes and things that could have been done, but it isn't that bad. After all, I'm the only one doing all of the work so it can't be expected to be perfect.
To gather all of the video content in the video took about a year.
LesleytheBirdNerd
We both try to put up something that is, if not professional, at least free of amateurish mistakes. And we seldom succeed even at that. I know the frustration of wanting to take down a film and fix some little something that annoys me to no end. But once it's up, you gotta shrug your shoulders and take pride in what you did accomplish. You can take a lot of pride in this crow film. I enjoyed the information about what they understand, the interaction within their groups, and the variety of sounds. Not to mention their beauty.
Jo Alwood Thanks, Jo for the good advice, and the nice comment on my crow video.
WildBlessings2 That's very kind of you to say, thanks a lot for all of the support!! Feels good to know that people, like you, do enjoy these little videos. :)
LesleytheBirdNerd
Lesley expressed my sentiments perfectly, WildBlessings2. It does feel good to know that you and others enjoy our videos. Thank you.
Hello Ms Bird Nerd, are you available to answer a few questions about my local crow family, I have been talking and feeding them for a few years straight now, they will fly 5 feet over my head when I’m outside as to say hello but they still are keeping a distance. I would appreciate your time. Aloha
He’s dropping the apples to make his cider...yip ....they got smarts
Thank you for this clip as I've been on a bird leaning curve though have loved all our feathered friends all my life. Feeding birds has opened up a whole new world to me and I appreciate your insights and education.
One summer morning, as the sun was rising, a group of crows made a tremendous amount of noise in the trees in our yard. My wife got up and looked out the window to see a bear in our yard. We think the crows were harassing the bear. We’ve had many bears in our yard over the years but never harassed by crows. I wonder if that particular bear was one that the crows didn’t like.
I love crows! ❤ Thanks for creating this interesting and lovely video. The dogs enjoyed watching and listening to the crows with me. They send their thanks as well! 😁
Hi Lesley, thanks for the video. I enjoyed it very much. I live in Vancouver BC, the back of my house faces a forest. Over the last few years Ive come to know the crows who live here. You could say, we both adopted each other. I love spending time watching them as they do we me too. Im also open to learn more about them.
Much thanks
G
+WestCoastRails I miss my crows.
I love crows. S'more info I understand as "crow facts"
*Crows are born with blue eyes
*Crows (hopefully) can live up to 20 yrs. Probably not more than 15 out in the wild.
*Permanent nesters wherever there at.
Along with their cousins (Ravens) are the smartest birds
Congratulations for your interesting and inspiring documentary! I guess you are taking about an American species - the identity would be one thing you could add to your future films, if I may say that. Best wishes!
Nice video, lots of information. There is one thats missing, it is the fact that crows gather up in incredible large group in winter time to go rest at night. I have seen more than 3000 in Cornwall,ontario, and recently, for more than an hour, in Watertown,NY groups after groups flocking to the same resting area, probably 5000 or even more.
