SOUND ID - Raven vs Crow

How to tell a Raven and Crow apart by their call. This is a bird sound ID technique that I call, "Visual Clues". Sometimes birds have field marks that you can creatively attach their sound to.

Bird vocalizations can vary from individual to location. Birds may have regional “dialects”. 🥰

[@MerridethChristy]

I love waking up to the sound of crows. They're not high- pitched, chirpy and bushy tailed in the morning. They sound like a good alarm clock. And they def "go off" several times in a relatively short and rhythmic way when they caw.

[@birding_by_ear]

No snooze button for you. Haha. At this time of year it is the blue jays yelling for peanuts early in the morning. An alarm clock of all who can hear it.

[@MerridethChristy]

@birding_by_ear yes snooze button. They caw every few minutes. Them other little birds go wild start chirping at 4am. Crows are smarter, wake up at 6. Then they caw at regular intervals unlike them high pitched, ugh nonstop in the morning.

[@MerridethChristy]

@ birding_ by_ear them Bluejays your fave? Loud!

Thanks! I need to post more on RUclips. Somehow I forget to. Ha!

[@X-PressionwithKathryn]

Thank you ❤️ 🙏

[@heyitsevie]

in Australia, our ravens have a more mournful caw. Like a "Ba-ooowwwww" sound. I cant really describe it but I suggest people look into it bc its a lovely caw

[@birding_by_ear]

Thanks! Love hearing new bird sounds. Xeno-Canto.org is a wonderful resource to listen to birds from all over the world.

[@dyllliepickle11037]

Hol up. How did you make those birds sounds?

[@birding_by_ear]

I can talk with birds ever since I was a small child.

[@bennyhope5761]

Are they the ones that have the photographic memory that will hold vendettas?

[@birding_by_ear]

Yes and they communicate it back to their family groups. They all know about which humans have been“good” or “bad” to them.

[@Koryogden]

I got my birds mixed up and did Raven call to Crows, they immediately said Nope! And flew off...
Now I'm doing the crow call they are like looking at me curious and not so startled

[@birding_by_ear]

I wonder what you said to them in Raven tongue? Haha.

[@BaronRodney]

​​@Birding By Ear When someone wrongs you is your raven call the last thing they hear before a swarm of blood thirsty shadow birds release them from their mortal bonds?

[@birding_by_ear]

How’d you know?

[@birding_by_ear]

It's usually the turkey call that does the trick.

[@hamzabagira9623]

But ravens sometimes see caaah to !

[@birding_by_ear]

Yes, the like most corvids can create and mimic all sorts of sounds. The sound also depends on region. Birds can have different "accents" depending where they were raised.
