Gregory's Server@SmudgeTheInsultCat Making friends with a flock of corvids (preferably a raven, rook, or crow) is on my bucket list. Such cool creatures.

 @StarkRG @SmudgeTheInsultCat I hear you, and will also say, if I can't make friends with them I at least hope not to piss them off. I love that they can sort of talk, too. https://youtu.be/N5YbWHrnjrg  @StarkRG @SmudgeTheInsultCat Sorry, I'm not that well acquainted with birds, but crows/ravens can also mimic humans which is a neat trick, I think. @IntentionallyBLANK @SmudgeTheInsultCat Definitely. I think Australian Magpies can do a bit of human mimickry, but I don't know that I've ever seen it. They have a pretty extensive vocabulary on their own without borrowing from humans, though. https://youtu.be/oh28ycs6LK0 |
@IntentionallyBLANK @SmudgeTheInsultCat Australian Magpies aren't corvids but are at least as intelligent. I wouldn't be at all surprised if their warbles contain significantly more information than the average bird call. I generally treat them like people. Tiny, skittish people who are known to hold grudges and pass them down to their offspring. I do my best not to piss them off and I'm pretty sure my dog's got the idea that I don't want her chasing them.
