The other day I heard a crow doing what sounded like a really strange, loud impression of a starling. Wish I’d had a parabolic mic, because the Merlin app couldn’t pick it up.
🤔 what kind of noise was that then? The kind of laughing one? •>
It was somewhere in between the normal chatter calls (only more rapid) and a sort of electronic, buzzy call like starlings will do sometimes, only loud. I wish the road I heard it next to wasn’t a main road through town, because it makes recording without a parabolic mic really difficult.
That’s really curious I’m not sure I’ve heard that one 🤔
What do you think the crow was saying?
I don’t know how well I speak crow, but to me it seemed like a ‘look what I can do!’ kind of call. Maybe vocal play or experimentation.
