  • Cant you potty train crows? I heard that somewhere.. And does he come back when you let him go outside?

  • when you guys let him out does he come back?

  • I love him! I havent read through the comments so i appoligize if you have already been asked this. I have heard that crows can talk can Cheeko talk?

  • His claws look a bit long. Is that normal? Or do you have to trim his nails?

  • It's wonderful to see a person be so kind to a little critter that's so vulnerable.

  • are his wings clipped?? :( :(

  • looks like there is missing parts of his wings...

  • were the hell do you get a pet crow?

  • Can cheeko talk?

  • You do know bird poop has alot of bacterial's and can kill an human right? especially i baby. So watch out im serious :S

  • thiere all over d streets ewww

  • People normally don't bother to rescue crows. So quit being nasty, people .... you know who you are. 

  • he is hungry like hell

  • he is hungry like hell

  • You lucky girl you have a pet crow :P I always found them really cute, while my friends thought I was a bit crazy in the head. I'm currently searching where I could have one, and it's pretty difficult right now.

  • @dearmom992 u do relise its a crow? they eat human food from garbage bins so obviously this crow would b eating much better than a wild 1 so it would b far more healthy and im sure she would find out how much it needs to b fed cuz its clear that she loves it and wants it to b healthy and happy.

  • that is awesome that  you have a crow as a pet. his personality is not what i thought a crow would be like. He seems like a big baby. :) how did you get him?

  • wow, you really need 2 get his nails cliped. he could step on 1 the wrong way and break his toe. Also... i like this vid because my budgie is named cheeko

  • codaanderson: This was an old video when marielledelaine uploaded it, as she notes in the video info. In another video, she mentions that Cheeko now has his nails clipped regularly.

  • that is sooo cute!

  • He is adorable! I love crows

  • i wanna buy your crow seems so cool

  • I have to commend you on the lack of bird poo on the chairs :D. I live in a house with a couple birds and know firsthand that it doesnt take long for the infamous poo to cover all.

  • i like crows, i want to get one when i live in my own house.

    And i want an hedgehog. Cute <3

  • can he fly?

  • you have problems... go get help ninja6kid....

  • yes YOU have a problem you sick freak... i hope one day you get what you deserve... your probably all talk.. by the way kid no one likes a dick... so stop being one. i bet you are trying to look bad ass on the internet because you dont have any friends at school... loser.. by the way its your fault bad things happen between your parents... lmao.

  • @bananatree94, what's the problem with saving a crow. This gal obviously did her homework and it has benefitted the crow greatly. Now if you had done a little reading before you posted, you would know that.

  • @ingkeu OMG maybe if YOU did research before you reply to a comment YOU would know i was talking to someone who was saying they wanted to kill this crow! NOT THE OWNER! lmao you were trying to be a smart ass with me and it only made you look unobservant! this person did a great thing..

  • ninja6kid: Okaaay ... so, if you enjoy bragging about killing pests on videos of pets, why did you say this on the other video of Cheeko:

    "ninja6kid (1 month ago) -6

    please tell me YOU did not do that to his tail and wings....if you did, hes anything but a pet, hes a prisoner...and you are a PIECE OF SHIT."

    You call marielledelaine a piece of shit because Cheeko was a baby crow whose feathers hadn't grown in, yet you fantasize killing Cheeko here.

    What the hell is wrong with you?

  • dont you worry about him making a mess in the house while your not home

  • i remember when i lived in wales and i had a pet crow..i used have to stay at home 24/7 to feed him but when he was older we could just leave him out and he would fly off and then randomly appear back at different times..he used to follow me to school as well.

  • wow that is cool. didn't you ever worry about it?

  • Just curious, is the feathers of his 'tail' clipped off?

  • should have started him on a regurgitated meat diet ...

  • my dad just got a pet crow. he is one month old and I want some tips on how to raise him. his name is shaman btw

  • awhh hes lovely :)

    you look like you're doinga good job, he seems pretty friendly and healthy.

    i dont understand why people are getting so aggressive about though? you saved this animals life and theyre talking like you torture him! honestly people need to get a grip!

  • the wildlife rehab centre that we took him too told us what to feed him, and we listened to that. he looks better now. this video is clearly really old (read the date on it). cheeko is almost 3 now and his wings are in and he is alive and well and happy and goes outside and plays with the cat and eats better than crows in the wild.

  • actually i have done that, all people need to do is read my comments. i am quite sick of repeating myself so many times!

    he is doing great though, he lives with my parents and is almost 3 and this video is REALLY old!

  • Its a crow they eat garbage i think this guy is getting along just fine compared to the ones outside.

  • LMAO!!! hes a sleepy birdy XD..so cute lol

  • what it like having a pet crow?

  • VERY messy, and amazing. but you have to have someone at home at all times with them and you need to be tolerant to stepping in bird poop a lot.

  • his nails look like they need to be clipped

  • That bird's wings do NOT look clipped. If any of you out there had ever owned a bird you would know that!

    I had a parrot that used to climb on my hand and beat her wings just like that and she could've flown away if she wanted to!

    If he were trying to fly he'd've either jumped off and succeeded or flopped around on the floor in a ig feathered mess. All of you 'animal lovers' out there need to shut it cuz you don't know what you're talking about!

  • @Wolfmammy it could be only the shadow's effect but it seems she is moving her arm a litle up and down... probably the bird moving his wings is just to adquire balance... i think.

  • He looks like he's had some serious wing and tail damage. He may not be able to fly anymore.

  • that is how his wings grew in. they are fully grown now.

  • they aren't clipped. he is unable to fly, he is also almost 3 and quite happy and doesn't look like this anymore because this video is really old. his wings grew in a few months after this.

  • Since you seem to have lots and lots of fans :P maybe you should explain that they poo a LOT and tear everything apart, including very expensive things and they beed lots and lots of attension before half of Canada's got on.. :#

    Besides, theres a pretty good Dutch site about Jackdaws (dont live in Canada, smaller then a crow and grey) but it's in Dutch and I dont think I may call it here,, if you want to know I could send it to you..

    Hows he doing now?

  • He's awesome! Do you think you could make a video with more information on crows and how you ended up with him and how you care for him? I'd love to learn more!

  • thats a raven, not crow

  • lol its a crow. id know.

  • Augh, clipped wings, augh. Please tell me you found him like that.

    He's cool, but seeing him trying to fly and not being able to is really unpleasant.

  • If you would read the description you would see that they aren't clipped. They just never grew out more fully, she got him when he was a baby.

  • Hello, does Cheeko caw really loud in the mornings when the sun comes up?

  • not to worry, this is an old video.

  • this is an olllld movie man.

    hes one of the family.

    he would have died if i didnt come along and now if we let him go he wouldnt be able to survive. he thinks he is one of us... it would be like letting your child go.

  • she found him fallen out of his nest on the grass

  • lol thanks

  • actually that's not exactly true...

    in home he gets a safe environment with great food, he dont need to "struggle" and he will live much longer then in the wild. did you have/had a dog or a cat? would you throw your dog/cat to the street? of course not. so why should she throw her crow?

  • You cannot compare cats and dogs, domesticated animals who have relied on humans for survival for thousands of years, to crows. However, you do make a point when you say he doesn't need to struggle... at the same time, doggysrule made a point in saying they belong in their natural habitat. Crows require very specific requirements to properly live with people, not to mention the the strains its instincts put on the lives of normal people (such as their love of hoarding objects).

  • Bottom line: if the owner is capable of adapting her life in order to make this crow's life good, and I think she can, as she seems like a loving owner, then go ahead. Otherwise release would be the best thing to do.

    By the way, its illegal for Americans to own native songbirds, crows included. I dunno if this is an example of a loophole or what, but...

  • are you kidding, cats? my uncle is breeding cats, they are territorial predators that really don't need us to survive. a lot of the cats species such as Bengal, Manx, Egyptian Mau ,Siberian and i wouldn't recommend Turkish Angora are really hostile and unsuitable for home environment. cats (especially species such as sphinx and Persian) have more "special needs" then to a crow. no offence, but you Americans have ALLOT of stupid laws. Alabamas REAL law: Dominoes may not be played on Sunday ;)

  • haha yes... yes there are some really stupid laws.

    in bc here it isn't illegal to own, or kill crows.

  • thankyou! im not the only owner. my parents and little brother take care of him as well, and he has a kitten (they are best friends) so he is really happy. we definately have to put up with a lot of poop... and yes... he likes to hide gmes from the playstation on us a lot. but he is such a joy he makes every single day interesting.

  • He is a very fortunate and happy bird. We had one for years. He was the most loving bird I have ever had. Same situation, he must have fallen out of the nest. We had him a few days before he was one of the family.

  • yep thats how it is. he either fell out or was pushed out. either way i dont like to see a life go to waste! he makes a great pet!

  • Beautiful bird! where can i get a pet crow?

  • you shouldnt try to get one unless you KNOW you can put up with the poop and having one run around the house without a cage. i saved cheeko from the side of the road. but he is a GREAT pet if you have a lot of people in the house. very social like a dog.

  • is the bird defective because cheeko's wings and tail looks out of shape...

  • no, they hadn't finished growing in properly. the main ideo that this is a response too has all the information.

  • the crows like fuck off leave me alone lol

  • its all in the description of my first "my pet crow" video

  • cute,gotta get one,er uh,nope,apt wouldnt let me,oh well,i'll get a paper one n pretend it's live

  • lol that sounds like a good idea. I think i will do that too!

  • i like that idea.

  • hiya i heard that if you have a pet crow they are loyal but eventually get fed up and try to kill themselves or is that just if you cage them? does he get to fly outside at all. hes lovely, i have an african grey he doesnt shut up lol.

  • no idea, we dont cage him. he has a cage that is open at all times and he goes where he wants in our house

  • AHHH sooo cute. One day i found a baby humming bird it already had all of its feathers but it couldnt fly. So i took it home and gave it some of that necktar that they eat and i called one off those places where they take care of birds. They said that they would come and pick it up the next day but it died. I was sooo sad it died i had it for three days and it looked healthy but it died.

  • aww that is terrible when that happens

    poor thing must have been in shock

    aww... sorry to hear that =( weve had that happen a couple times to us with other crows

  • so u keep more crow's or u just find them, plz reply

  • thanks for the new vid. You seem to be a very good "Mum" and obviously have a great rapport with your loving little crow. All blessings to the both of you!

  • where did you get that?

  • this video is really old. i know plenty about my crow and he is very happy. but thanks for the concern.

  • Hi, I am wanting a pet crow, but i feel it is bad to take them out of their natural habitat.

    Could you tell me where you got your crow?

    And is it really happy living with you?

  • he is really happy but never ever take a crow out of its natural habitat unless it is in a life threatening position and you shoudl always check with the local animal rehabilitation centre before thinking of keeping it yourself. it is a lot to handle and always needs someone home with it, and should never be caged!

  • thanks for your info =]

    could you tell me where u got yours?

  • Actually I have a pet crow also and the tail feather are really short or non existent when they are babies or really young. It's likely their tail feathers grow longer as they get older and more mature.

  • You got a pet crow. WOW :)

    Over in england we got millons of crows, once my friend saw 2 crows nearly kill a cat.

    Crazy birds.

  • haha yeah... thats terrible poor cat!

  • we live in a trailer park with a lot of cats

    he stays inside lol

  • wow that sounds like an amazing place to work!!

    yeah cheeko's videos are fun but honestly he is camera shy! he never does half the cool things he does when he is on film =(

  • omg i love crows! i'm a u.s. citizen in california, and i would really love to have a pet crow. but it's illegal. marielle, how where you able to keep ckeeko? by the way, he's cute!

  • yeah, it is illegal in the US, it's a shame! it isn't here in canada!

  • i REALLY wish i had a pet crow, or raven...lucky

  • Aww! ^^

    My doves' feet get warmer too!!! ^^ I have doves (love them to death!), and I love ravens/crows too... Ironic...

    How often does Cheeko groom...? (Bird fanatic over here... ^^)

  • lol I have a mouse too! Her names Isis and she's a cutie pie! It's the ones that POOP IN MY BED and EAT MY CHOCOLATE that I'm less partial to. They get their come upins!!! Don't worry- I'm very compassionate towards animals and they're killed instantaneously with mouse traps. I couldn't ever feed them ALIVE! It could also harm the animal you give it to by biting it back! lol.

  • well... it WAS live before I killed it... I thought it was an ingenuitive way of getting rid of the mice I caught in mouse traps. Circle of life :) Boy did she love them though! She'd never had anything live except mealworms and bugs out the garden. She ripped right into their guts and pulled out the nutricious intestines! It was interesting to be able to watch so closely...

  • haha i would never be able to kill a mouse, i keep them as pets. they are so damn adorable.

  • wow,nice crow :) i love him :) thanks for vidding.

  • I rescued and rehibilitated a baby Raven a few months ago and successfully released her. I never thought she could fly or live in the wild but she sure showed me! Chiko is so cute! Your so lucky to have him so tame. My girl lives in my front yard while I helped her learn to forage, brave the weather, interact with wild birds and get sunshine/fresh air. Corvids benefit from mind games and toys. I gave Morrigan a mouse once which she LOVED TO DEATH!

  • ohhhh god.... do you mean litteraly?

    was this a LIVE mouse?

  • He's a handsome bird, but aren't you afraid that one day he might get ornery and take your eye out? That beak looks sharp.

  • lol so far we have gotten him a little mirror with bells on it, and this keychainish thing with dice on it and other stuff... but his favorite thing to do is chase the cat and play with a dead remote controll we only keep cause he likes to push the buttons

  • i use the calcium perch in his cage but other than that he doesnt really stay in the cage, he likes to walk around and stand on the back of the couch

  • i rescued a ring neck dove and a baby blue bird before dove named Angel blue bird named Pip XD the crow is coool i want to befreind one

  • thanks for the "not intended for owner" part lol i was beginning to be a bit scared. cheeko is past hsi 8 weeks stage and still cant "fly" but he does something like it! and he is not caged, which means we need someone at the house mostly at all times to clean up and make sure he doesnt get in to trouble!

  • sweet i want a pet raven or crow that is cool sleepey bird

  • Did you kill Cheeko's parents and then nurse him? Why can't he do any tricks? Have you ever tried to light Cheeko on fire? That would be soooo kewl.

  • uhhhh

    he fell out of the nest as a baby and his parents were nowhere to be seen. baby crows cant get back in to the nest.

    and no why the hell would i light him on fire?

  • Hi, I LOVE THE CROW.. I created a character/ghoul for Fright Fest halloween 2007 and the character has a pet crow or raven in the design. Very hard to find pet crows or crows that perform or can be used in this venue. Please let me know if have any info or a group that protects the rights of animals but also making sure the animals are not abused. thankyou gus

  • hi there... im sorry to say that i know of no such groups... cheeko is not a perfomer he is just a chill birdy. =(

  • yes indeed that is waht i do. he used to be completely free but since we moved we need to take better care of this place, and he just destroys everything

  • I've raised birds for many years; my avian vet. told me they need a variety of toys for mental development and stimulation. Just a suggestion, as an extra to the care and love he is already getting.....

  • dont worry, he gets his toys in the form of everything in our house

  • How did you come to have a crow? Out here the most one can ever do is house an injured one as we did once, but that's it - I thought it was illegal. Do you need a license? Where do you get such animal for a pet?

  • as far as i know, it is legal in canada.

  • yeah he cant just eat any old birdseeds, and he needs constant attention or he will literally tear the house apart.  we just moved so we bought him a parrot cage (he used to never be caged) but we dont want him to wreck this house. i dont think that parrots wreck houses tho

  • Hi here is my pet - I like your videos.

  • nice work , he still your keys yet?

  • lol i dont drive but im sure hes gotten my parents keys. he steals my socks tho!

  • wow this is new to me

    I never saw a crow as a pet

    how long have you had him ?

  • he is my bird two

    i live with this youtuber

  • mathew you are so lame.

  • nah sandpaper can cause their delicate toes to bleeeed. learnt that the hard way with some budgies XP

  • well that might be true for budgies.... but crow talons are a little bit stronger! lol

    but yeah, i like the calcium perches from the pet store, they work fine....

  • Hi chicken lol!He really needs a natural perch to wear down his LONG TALONS....

    Love him to death but!

    maybe some sand paper on the unnatural perches will help. : )

  • haha yeah were in the middle of moving right now but in our next house we will have a special little place for him with some real bird stuff.. his talons used to be longer and curl under! they have definately improved since then

    lol thanks for the comment

  • haah yep that is his chair... youd know by the poop... nobody sits on it. we clean it but... no he can have it now!

  • ooh thankyou i saw that! how exciting! i hope i can get some more up :( i need to use a friend's internet cause we are moving so we don't have it at the moment till i have no idea when!

  • Hi Marielle, I only want to thank you for share this videos, are incredible. I have never thought that Ravens and Magpies could establish any akind of rellashionship with the humans.

    Greetings from Barcelona ;)

  • well thankyou im glad you like them

  • i wish we would have crows in my city.here we only have the hooded crow which is half size bigger i think.

  • Hey Marielle,

    I hope you don't take offence to this but it would be a good idea to trim his nail before he gets any problems in his feet which will prevent proper walking. But other than that his a sweety!

    Oh you can cheeck out Marvin (my pain in the ass LOL) if ya want on my page! :)

  • lol yah i did and i commented on them

    dont worry this vid is really old, ive cut them since them

  • That's awesome, from what I understand you can teach them to talk. How do you deal with him pooping? I have a starling in my videos.

  • lol we clean up after him ALLLL day!!!

  • how'd you get him? i'd love to have one =))

  • well on his first vid i explain everything "my pet crow"

    basically we were stopped at a stop light and there he was on the side of the road, fallen out of his nest and was too young to survive, so we took him.

    we already had a crow before so we knew not to take it into the wildlife sanctuary because they have told us the other animals would just kill it, so we kept him

  • crows are awesome.

  • beautiful creature. =3
