@thisbirdsabsurd I didn't find it, my cousin's kids did in their yard and looked for its parents and the nest but never found them or the nest or any other woodpeckers around, so I gave them some things to care for it but they called me back saying they were having trouble. They had contacted a wildlife rehabber but they couldn't come b/c it was the holidays and Xmas time so I was stuck with it for a couple of days. You talk about hard work & lack of sleep for me! Man was I ever tired!
@thisbirdsabsurd Are you stuck with that bird? :) U know, if it's a starling, grackle, crow, blackbird, or raven, they're hard to get rid of b/c those types of birds will imprint on you even when fully grown. I just got through rehabilitating and caring for a baby woodpecker and it was a heck of a time. It was clingy and I had to teach it to not cling to me and got back in its carrier and stopped feeding it when it ate on its own & on day 4, I let it go b/c it gained its strength back.
@silverbulletgirl29 He was only with us for a week or so and his extended family never left the area They made a huge racket every morning, calling to him and eventually he rejoined the group. Good job with the woodpecker by the way! :)
I'm assuming you have the proper licensing? Either way, I love crows. I volunteer at a wildlife shelter and the crows are one of my favourites, they're full of personality! But, they're also so noisy when they're hungry...
I rescued a very young rook two months ago. I wouldn't take him home, but he had serious injury under his wing. It looked like a hole in his tummy :c So I went home and took care of him, he loved eating pasta and raw meat :D He was so noisy our neighbours called police! But they were clever enough to call to the animal care center and tell them about him. I had him for a month and he was still too small to let him go, so I gave him away to the bird asylum. There I learned that "he" was a girl!
He looks like a blackbird lol. Small and chubby. In fact you could just paint his beak and smooth out his feathers (if you can) and he'll look just like one.
Those things are viscous they have the capability to take down the whole world with those black beaks...Ladies and Gentlemen..we aren't talking about a regular crow we are talking about a Super-crow
@kjprojekt It's not a fish crow. Simplest way to tell is from the voice, fish crows sound similar to your standard crow but are more nasal or sometimes "adolescent" sounding. When you compare the voices telling the difference is pretty easy.
Loved your young bird, reminded me of CROW SHADOW when he was of that age. Check that one out if you're so inclined at CROW SHADOW READS THE NEWSPAPER on YouTube.
Crows/ ravens are brilliant compared to many other mammals, it has exemplary reasoning skills and can learn new things very quickly, not to mention their love of human interaction
@killersushi99 Raven's are technically apart of the whole crow family, so it could be called a crow. =P (Like calling a lion a cat or something, it's correct in that sense) There are many types of crows, but a lot of people see your everyday American Crow, Fish Crow, etc. and call it a crow, because they're just so similar and hard to distinguish.
I had a crow...For a day, He was so young and because it was a verry warm day( 40 degrees) he could not fly(verry tired). So He stayed with us, but his family(about 30 crows, all living around us!) called him, so we released him. I still see him now and then....
@koomori Stop leaning...it's a crow. ;) His entire exrended family came to harrass me on a daily basis until he could finally take off on his own, You can distinguish the two by size and tail feathers.
@koomori Doesn't look anything like a raven to me, there's a lot of differences, that beak is a big sign right there =P Sounds like a crow too, no raven croaks there, no "breeches" really either. I think crow all the way!
@koomori -yes she is correct! Crow beaks are shorter and thicker than Raven. Crow tail feathers are shaped like a sea-shell. This is a young Crow. The Ravens are MUCH bigger than Crows and their color is a blue-purple black. Crows are brown black or a green black when sun shines on them....
@fiyrdragon5 No, they're not, that's like saying lions and tigers are the same thing. The raven is a sub species of the enormous crow family. Most people think of American Crows when crow is mentioned. Ravens are far bigger(about the size of a hawk), have pointed feathers, are solitary and tend to live in rural areas, they also have a deep croak call. Crows are very sociable, have wedge shaped feathers, only about 15 inches in height, and make a caw sound. =) There are many varieties of crows.
@fiyrdragon5 Yeah, they can look pretty alike to the average person's eye. I study them a lot, I also paint and draw them a lot as well.^^ (I make art videos on my channel) A couple years ago I was pretty clueless about it all though! lol
It's a shame people in the US can legally keep them as pets. Being "migratory game birds" is a really stupid excuse. So we can't keep them, but we can shoot them....retarded...
That is by far the most adorable little bird I have ever seen! RRR Gimme yo crow! And God bless you for taking such good care of it. I had to work around the clock caring for an abandoned pigeon, so I know how a caring for any baby bird can be! =D Awesome video! =D
Crows are protected unless caught in the act of destroying personal property such as crops or feeders. They are fun to watch but in the wild they cost farmers (such as my dad) thousands of dollars each year and that's a small farm. They drop their fecal sac in the cows water which passes disease on to the cows and some die which raises the cost of beef. They also like to take a bath and crap in the cows water, well you get the point. Do some research on them and see what they do to songbirds
People ought not ta eat beef anyways... It's really not very good for humans, the natural environment or anything else worth while... But that's just me, I could be wrong... Never stopped me from eating a nice T-bone... But who's watching out for the crow$h1T? That's very nice to know. Thanks for that :)
@freddyfast9 Quite correct, and as well as that they are estimate to kill approximately 100+ ducks (by taking eggs and the young) per crow per year. totaling aprox 20,000,000/year, then you also must fadd to this the geese, grouse, phesants...etc. Crows are cool but like anything they can get out of control.
@ abruceames: it is true that crows eat eggs of other birds etc. but this means no harm to any of the other species at all!
human beings are the ones who harm and reduce the amount of these birds, including the crows and ravens, which are almost extinct in many parts of Germany (where I live). They can only survive in big cities where people feed them & the hunters cannot get them. sad but true!
The kinds of ferrets you buy arent the ones you see in the wild the one's you buy have been bred for over 4000 years as pets. They DIE after 2 days in the wild. they were keeping egypt rat free.
Ravens and crows arent' like birds. They are as hard to care for as a falcon but much smarter. The reason you can't tame them is beause 99 % of us have no clue how hard it is. you catch he bird thinking you will be diferent and can handle it then you let it go ad it gets shot for being used to humans.
i see baby pigeons all the time, I wish the laws were different up here though. I would love to put them out of their misery before they have to clean the streets and get riddled with diseases.
krislemchelover: If you ask me, the laws forbidding owning crows as pets are absurd--it's legal to hunt crows, it ought to be legal to keep them as pets. It'd achieve the same ends--keeping their numbers in the wild under control.
If I were to rescue a baby crow, I'd want to make sure it lived a long, happy life. Seeing how crows are actively hunted to protect crops and other wild animals, I'd worry about the futility of saving them, but not being allowed to keep them. :/
@ThInTrM It doesn't have to make sense - it's the government! Job #1 is maintaining power. They do this partly by placating advocacy groups that donate tons of "campaign contributions" to politicians. One of these is the "tree huggers," who get such laws passed, thinking they're doing good and going home smug. These are the idiots who got the international pet trade canceled. So now, animals are dangerously smuggled, or poisoned or shot as pests in their home countries. Feh!
@ThInTrM the subspecies that works in human governments who makes laws like that -they call themselves human but they're often dangerous to the public and their brains are no bigger than microbes.
if a wild animal gets tamed as a pet, gets a disease from living with people, then gets sent out into the wild to spread that disease, that's plenty good reason not to have wild pets. some are raised as pets then set loose and don't know how to cope with life outside of a house too. probably not in this case, but just giving you an outside look as to why wild life shouldn't be kept as pets or brought home then released.
@sye117 When you put it that way, it sounds like you think there's no such thing as veterinarians.
Many animals that are kept as pets live longer and healthier lives than wild counterparts because they have access to human medicine when they need it.
Besides, your logic could be construed as an argument against keeping pets at all, just because some people are so irresponsible they don't know how to take care of pets. Animals are animals, whether or not humans think of them as "wild."
@ThInTrM While I share your sympathies making crows legal to own is not population control. Cats and dogs are both pets but have feral populations that are problematic in some areas since people are too often terrible at taking responsibility for their animals.
Being hunted is also not new to crows. Even without direct human intervention only a minority of baby crows make it to adulthood. In *certain* cases controlling their population can prevent their disease, famine, or help weaker species.
bad on the ecosystem, the more animals u tame the less there are in the wild,.and the less there are in the wild, the more things screw up. (sorry that's why we can't tame them but i know sme countrys find these sorts of animals illegally and try to tame and sell them)
yeah well... animals breeding exists they almost never sell captured animals for pets for obvious reasons. >__> plus, why are doves, ferrets and prairie dogs sold as pets? they all live in north america, right?.
@tenedria, There's a huge black market for pets, especially with bird, big cats, and reptiles. With illegal capture of wild birds of prey for falconry and rare parrots, this can be pretty devastating to the environment. In the U.S at least, any owners of wild birds are supposed to have a license, which I hope the person who owns the crow has.
Also, the doves and ferrets used for pets tend to be already domesticated breeds, usually with European origins. Never heard of anyone owning p dogs.
Sometimes they have some prairie dogs in a pet shop near my home... If I remember correctly, you don't need a permit to buy one, the're ordinary pets just as hedgehogs are (even if they are expensive: 200$can).
You're from Canada. In the U.S, rules on capture of wild animals are a lot stricter. A kid getting legalization to own a hedgehog made the news here. It's not very common. Prairie dogs and mourning doves fall under them, for the most part, but I think you're allowed to hunt doves to some extent. As a result, most breeders will opt for the easier route of buying domesticated breeds. Nonative birds don't get the same protection- like rock doves.
mourning dove are common in pet shops >__> and its a common bird I see everyday. Its not a domestic breed its just that mourning doves are naturally calm. You don't need to create a different breed for using them as pets.
Crows are protected by several blanket laws designed to protect birds. This was meant to discourage people from collecting eggs, feathers, or the birds themselves, especially for stuffing. Like any other native bird species, they can be vulnerable to human interference.
That, and outbreaks of west nile virus and avian flu also killed a lot of crows back in about 2007. They lost about 25% of adult birds then, so it's better to just leave them alone and let them recover.
Thanks for the info , didnt know they got hit by west nile bad. I always fed the local crows stale bread etc. Lately ive been giving them peanuts as a reward for trolling the local Coopers Hawk out of the yard everyday.
I used to rehab birds, but I never took care of a crow. I would have loved to. I had mockingbirds, wrens, song sparrows and a starling. I did not release the starling as he was born with a splayed leg, and he was just too imprinted on me. What a big baby! I had him for many years and loved him dearly.
I'm a Sun Conure "Mom" of 15 years, and completely understand the "calling out" to the other birds... it's funny, my kids would likely not enjoy a meeting with the hawks or even the crows... but hey, birds of a feather, right? Peace! Angel =]
Aww. I had 3 baby crows when I was 11. We ended up giving them to a place where they take good care of birds. I miss them. Do you still have this crow, like is it a pet? :)
I remember when I was a little girl my mother had caught a fledgling crow who got caught in a storm. He was old enough to fly but was all disoriented so she took him home. For 2 weeks we had him and fed him and housed him. He got pretty used to us and would eventually just chill on the couch. Every day my mom would take him out so he could flap and try to fly (but he was probably still weak and would come back) The cool thing was that his parents stuck around and eventually they all flew away.:)

i see baby pigeons all the time, I wish the laws were different up here though. I would love to put them out of their misery before they have to clean the streets and get riddled with diseases.

I would LOVE to interact with a crow or have one as a pet, but it's against the law. Did this one go free eventually?

krislemchelover: If you ask me, the laws forbidding owning crows as pets are absurd--it's legal to hunt crows, it ought to be legal to keep them as pets. It'd achieve the same ends--keeping their numbers in the wild under control.
If I were to rescue a baby crow, I'd want to make sure it lived a long, happy life. Seeing how crows are actively hunted to protect crops and other wild animals, I'd worry about the futility of saving them, but not being allowed to keep them. :/

@ThInTrM It doesn't have to make sense - it's the government! Job #1 is maintaining power. They do this partly by placating advocacy groups that donate tons of "campaign contributions" to politicians. One of these is the "tree huggers," who get such laws passed, thinking they're doing good and going home smug. These are the idiots who got the international pet trade canceled. So now, animals are dangerously smuggled, or poisoned or shot as pests in their home countries. Feh!

@ThInTrM the subspecies that works in human governments who makes laws like that -they call themselves human but they're often dangerous to the public and their brains are no bigger than microbes.

if a wild animal gets tamed as a pet, gets a disease from living with people, then gets sent out into the wild to spread that disease, that's plenty good reason not to have wild pets. some are raised as pets then set loose and don't know how to cope with life outside of a house too. probably not in this case, but just giving you an outside look as to why wild life shouldn't be kept as pets or brought home then released.

@sye117 When you put it that way, it sounds like you think there's no such thing as veterinarians.
Many animals that are kept as pets live longer and healthier lives than wild counterparts because they have access to human medicine when they need it.
Besides, your logic could be construed as an argument against keeping pets at all, just because some people are so irresponsible they don't know how to take care of pets. Animals are animals, whether or not humans think of them as "wild."

@ThInTrM While I share your sympathies making crows legal to own is not population control. Cats and dogs are both pets but have feral populations that are problematic in some areas since people are too often terrible at taking responsibility for their animals.
Being hunted is also not new to crows. Even without direct human intervention only a minority of baby crows make it to adulthood. In *certain* cases controlling their population can prevent their disease, famine, or help weaker species.

bad on the ecosystem, the more animals u tame the less there are in the wild,.and the less there are in the wild, the more things screw up. (sorry that's why we can't tame them but i know sme countrys find these sorts of animals illegally and try to tame and sell them)

yeah well... animals breeding exists they almost never sell captured animals for pets for obvious reasons. >__> plus, why are doves, ferrets and prairie dogs sold as pets? they all live in north america, right?.
tenedria 2 years ago
@tenedria, There's a huge black market for pets, especially with bird, big cats, and reptiles. With illegal capture of wild birds of prey for falconry and rare parrots, this can be pretty devastating to the environment. In the U.S at least, any owners of wild birds are supposed to have a license, which I hope the person who owns the crow has.
Also, the doves and ferrets used for pets tend to be already domesticated breeds, usually with European origins. Never heard of anyone owning p dogs.

Sometimes they have some prairie dogs in a pet shop near my home... If I remember correctly, you don't need a permit to buy one, the're ordinary pets just as hedgehogs are (even if they are expensive: 200$can).

prairie dogs are often taken as a baby in the wild... but... they are too common and not popular enough has pets too be harmed by it.
tenedria 2 years ago
@ tenedria
You're from Canada. In the U.S, rules on capture of wild animals are a lot stricter. A kid getting legalization to own a hedgehog made the news here. It's not very common. Prairie dogs and mourning doves fall under them, for the most part, but I think you're allowed to hunt doves to some extent. As a result, most breeders will opt for the easier route of buying domesticated breeds. Nonative birds don't get the same protection- like rock doves.
roflcopterIII 2 years ago
@roflcopterIII
mourning dove are common in pet shops >__> and its a common bird I see everyday. Its not a domestic breed its just that mourning doves are naturally calm. You don't need to create a different breed for using them as pets.

@ tenedria again:
Crows are protected by several blanket laws designed to protect birds. This was meant to discourage people from collecting eggs, feathers, or the birds themselves, especially for stuffing. Like any other native bird species, they can be vulnerable to human interference.
That, and outbreaks of west nile virus and avian flu also killed a lot of crows back in about 2007. They lost about 25% of adult birds then, so it's better to just leave them alone and let them recover.

Thanks for the info , didnt know they got hit by west nile bad. I always fed the local crows stale bread etc. Lately ive been giving them peanuts as a reward for trolling the local Coopers Hawk out of the yard everyday.

I used to rehab birds, but I never took care of a crow. I would have loved to. I had mockingbirds, wrens, song sparrows and a starling. I did not release the starling as he was born with a splayed leg, and he was just too imprinted on me. What a big baby! I had him for many years and loved him dearly.

I remember when I was a little girl my mother had caught a fledgling crow who got caught in a storm. He was old enough to fly but was all disoriented so she took him home. For 2 weeks we had him and fed him and housed him. He got pretty used to us and would eventually just chill on the couch. Every day my mom would take him out so he could flap and try to fly (but he was probably still weak and would come back) The cool thing was that his parents stuck around and eventually they all flew away.:)

Crows are really flock/family oriented and always call other crows when they find food, that is one reason why they are my favorite bird.
