Hah hah what a great joke on some random new mother. Certainly worth being on the hook to support a kid that isn't yours for 18 years.

We all know crows etc are smart and it's not unrealistic that they could recognize a person and caw at them, but the kid taking credit for getting it to fly is pretty lame. In reality he just witnessed a somewhat heartwarming nature underdog(bird?) success story and said "that's a good story, but how can I make it entirely about me and my fake dr dolittle powers?".

Crows also don't reach breeding age until they're at least two, typically spending a year or two helping their parents raise their younger siblings before finding a mate of their own and having their own nest. Actually, a failed attempt to rear chicks can result in a young pair of crows "divorcing" and going back to help their parents for another year before trying again.

There is no consistent difference. Both are members of the Corvus genus. Some species are just called crows in their English common names, and some are ravens. Also, American crows can live 10-15 years in the wild if they are lucky. In captivity, they can hit thirty. I mean, this is still STDH but I like corvids and I like to talk about them okay

Maybe you can tell me why a crowraven keeps landing my window sill, peck at the window for a second, then fly off. Is it the reflection?

Fun fact, birds from different regions have different accents, just like people. They can tell if a bird comes from somewhere else by the regional variations in their birdsongs.

Probably, but unlike most birds that attack a window, many corvids are smart enough to realize that it's not actually another bird after the first poke. Alternately they might be checking for a way in if they've ever gotten in a window before. Birds have trouble with reflections in general, because their eyes are good enough that they can see the reflection clearly but they aren't quite self-aware enough to recognize that a reflection is them... except for magpies, which have passed that test and can learn that they can use mirrors to look at themselves - the test is to put a little coloured spot on them so they can only see it in a mirror and see if they try to scrape it off themselves once they look at their reflection, and of all tested birds AFAIK only magpies pass it regularly.

i'm unironically pleased that stdh sparked crow/corvid chat. did you know that ravens have displayed problem solving skills? ravens like to tease other animals b/c they get bored. sometimes they collude with wolves by guiding them to a fresh kill (ravens are scavengers but their beaks/talons aren't sharp enough to pierce fresh flesh, but after a wolf has torn into the body they can go hogwild). e you guys ever hear about the raven with an asbo? a bad bird posted:“It started to be a problem when people were taking photos of her,” said Igraine Hustwitt Skelton, Her Majesty’s Keeper of Castle Ravens in Knaresborough. “She would fly towards them and sit on their shoulders but then she started taking things. Now she’s taken to nicking cameras and mobile phones and using her beak to take selfies.” Sisal Two-Step has a new favorite as of 01:34 on Jun 10, 2017 |

In the crow story you know it is all stdh because the writer says the father helped the fail crow back into the nest after the first attempt at flight. How the hell would a bird do that? Typically when a bird fails at birding it just sits on the ground and is fed and watched over by the parents until it can fly.
