Australian Raven, up close .. and noisy

[ultrazeen380]

ur lucky if you have some crows beacuse i live in australia and these pricks wake me up every morning

[zenacalabro]

Crows have brown eyes and Ravens have white eyes, although they are blue when they are chicks. I have a pet Raven. Check out my videos. Aussie Ravens are unique

[KarenTruitt]

My Seattle crows would laugh at his accent!

[fuzzyhead562]

ITS CALLED A FUCKING CROW

[jstorly]

Wow! That raven has an Australian accent!

[EnigmaticRPG]

...Just sounds like a blackbird to me, but it does have that raven pattern to it's 'speech'. They were right when they said Australian ravens sound different! Thanks Random YT Commentor!

~The More You Know~

[ant1991331]

@EnigmaticRPG

... I assume you're referring to this bird: youtube.com/watch?v=6t0pfwyTPw­U

[napalmnacey]

Oh, this is a youngin'! He has brown eyes and is all squeaky! How cute!

[darlenesheart1]

this is definitely a Aussie Raven ,it has brown eyes because it a young one ,the adults have white eyes and you will notice it is practicing how to speak like a grown up. .When they first leave their nest they talk a lot .trying out all their sounds.

[tigerwhite007]

Australian Crows (Raven's) can have different coloured eyes I've seen some with red/brown eyes and some with crystal blue eyes.. they're all different like humans

[joetylerdale]

Ravens are fascinating.

[norseleague]

Looks exactly like a North American common crow but sounds like some guy trying to blow a crow call for the first time! Amusing!

[xconicx]

Australia doesn't have ravens...we only have crows. Well i am pretty certain anyway. Correct me if i am wrong.

[XxXMidnightblackXxX]

@xconicx We have some crows, but that one is a young raven.

from what I know in Melbourne/Victoria they are ravens, but in other places like NSW they are crows. I may be wrong about the other places.

[ht448]

hey just wondering Crows dont live in australia do they? becouse i always coreect people when they call these birds are "Crows" and they think im insane :P

[ant1991331]

@ht448 I'm certain we have... Some, crows

[Cheerbabeforeverable]

@ht448 we call them crows, and we have stacks of them!! they hang around my school haha

[SmexiiLisa]

@ht448

we have the Torresian Crow :)

north and west australia usually.

[MegaOrangePenguin]

@ht448 I have crows in my backyard every morning

[kingofkongisland]

@ht448 in australia we have,the Australian raven, (in the clip),the Little Raven,Torresion crow,the little crow and the black currawong, its very difficult to tell the difference particularly between the australian raven and the torresion crow,look for a real fluffly neck like the one in the clip.

[isthisazoo]

@ht448 No, we definitely have Australian Crows. They are very similar and have few consistent differences, so it's pretty hard to tell them apart from the Australian Raven. I think I read somewhere that Ravens have the feathers sticking out from their throat when they call where crows don't but I don't know that last part for sure. :)

[thefirstsneedlechee]

i didnt know we had ravens. i thought they were all just crows. omg

[247Dogsrock]

Sounds like the Grudge or something like that

[monopolimona]

it sound like a frog :) aaaah cute

[Hendrikspan101]

THESE FUCKING THINGS MADE ME FAIL MY MATH TEST >:(

[RottenPeri]

@Hendrikspan101 LOL did they eat your test? Cause short of that, your really the only person who can flunk that. gratz XD

[TheSilverWolf9]

I thought that Australian ravens had white irises, not brown? 

[ant1991331]

@TheSilverWolf9 It's a juvenile

[Androphilian]

Even your Ravens have funny accents.

SO AWESOME.

[megastarmedia]

reminds me of throat singing.

[rahan4you]

asta e nelu dupa betieeeee

[kjprojekt]

Sounds beautiful!

[AsterikeSage]

So cute! I've got two babies like this one living in my garden with their parents. I give them dogfood to eat =P they love it.

[shmageheeberry]

Awww, It's so cute.

[key0bb]

These bastards have woken me up several times (I'm in Melbourne). They sound worse than a crying baby.

[ShadowPriestess123]

RAVEN MOCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DollFace498]

@ShadowPriestess123 Dude I totally searched what a raven sounds like because of that book! Haha!

[ShadowPriestess123]

@DollFace498 I know O___o i did the VERY same cuz i was curious! It's friggin creepy!

[DollFace498]

@ShadowPriestess123 It is! it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up!

[DottyDotDitto]

@xXDenverXx1 I grew up thinking they where crows too, wan't till a few years back I learn't they where acctually native australian ravens. The australian native crow is also known as the Torresian crow and only lives on the west and north coasts.

[RavenRulz29]

How cute is that! ♥

[foamington]

This is clearly a juvenile Little Raven, it sounds EXACTLY like every raven I have ever heard around my place in suburban Melbourne, and they're all Littles. The Australian Raven has a much higher-pitched, wailing call.

[SlimeTron5000]

@foamington i live in sydney and never encountered Little Ravens.

[foamington]

@SlimeTron5000

Yep, the common corvid in Sydney, Canberra and Perth is the Australian Raven; in Melbourne and Adelaide, it's the Little Raven; in Brisbane it's the Torresian Crow; in Hobart, it's the Forest Raven (the only corvid native to Tasmania).

Sorry if that's too much of a nerdy thing to know :-)

[eliden]

search mynah bird

[norsef]

Some reason I'm imagining the granny from the Beverly Hillbillies.

Jeddddddd! Jeddddddddddddd!

[psychoguy1017]

Sounds like he has strep throat lol

[tofupower13]

raven starts to hit puberty...

[SlimeTron5000]

@tofupower13 yes this one has black eyes meaning its a child

[HeathenLoveGod]

@ChineseRyu: er... yes... I know!

[DinkyKeyChain]

Sounds like a wind up toy!

[TheRambutan2000]

Everybody's right! :) In Australia they are just called crows. Referring to a Raven in Australia is usually thought of as American (at least in the country). I'm not saying they aren't Ravens, just why people might feel so strongly about calling them crows. It's to the point where sporting teams are called "The Crows" etc

[FunkesDragonRider]

I don't know why but I like the noise it makes at the end. XD

[SlimeTron5000]

I think this is a child. Child ravens do not develop white eyes yet.

[38wonderfullife]

Redrum redrum.....

[Sableneko]

Interestingly, the Japanese do not have a different word for Ravens and Crows. They're considered the same animal, culturally.

Noisy, noisy birds though, and I love them. Crows are evil though.

[SlimeTron5000]

@Sableneko the australian ones are dfifferent from the rest

[torinoko]

It's the accent.

[20Terminators]

we have just had about 5 ravens come and move into our otherwise peaceful neighbourhood.

[arrrrrow]

and it is a young crow, I think, a hungry one

we rescued a young one, and that;s the kind of "talky" call they have

[ProcrastinatingGuy]

i was actually researching the diffs between ravens and crows, and the sounds they make is definitely a giveaway to their differences.

Crows = Caw

Ravens = rronk (or that creaky freaky sound)

[stevethegecko]

It's a juvenile Corvus coronoides, the adults have white eyes

[nedtheclaw]

some ravens can be thought to speak like parrots can

[Judes6647]

Quoth the Raven: 'Nevermore.' 

[Ozimul]

It sounds kind of like it's laughing at you. XD

[Slypaperclips]

'Quoth the raven, "never more" '...now I know what Poe was on about, especially at 0:05

[melissarbrsn]

i read a house of night book and in the series the character once mentions the creepy sounds that ravens make. ive never heard one before so seeing this video really helps my reading imagination :) thanx

[vinny460]

he doesnt know what it is!!!!

[ZeChoupinou]

strange noise

[SilentNight700]

What a beautiful bird, I wanna see one but I don't think we have any where I'm at ...I have to check.

0:59 What a lovely creak XD Outstanding voice : )

[FunkySpunkster]

This stupid bird woke me up this morning!!

[HeathenLoveGod]

I have two ravens that visit my garden in Melbourne. They are very intelligent birds. If I give them bread, they usually pick it up and dump it in the bird bath first to make it easier to swallow.

[zednkas]

@HeathenLoveGod all the ones around my house do that to.

[SlipknotMassacre8]

@HeathenLoveGod

can crow or ravens be pets in australia???

[HeathenLoveGod]

@SlipknotMassacre8: I don't think there are any restrictions on keeping them as pets :-)

[MobilePissCannon]

@HeathenLoveGod That's really clever! I've heard they will sometimes pretend to bury food in one spot and actually bury it elsewhere to confuse other ravens.

[HeathenLoveGod]

@MobilePissCannon: I think they have chicks at the moment, because they now gather up big beak-fulls of food and fly off with it, back to their nest. Yesterday the male managed to fly off with a complete roast chicken carcasse LOL.

[bryanz127]

i feel sorry for these ravens getting chased by small birds

[031doolittle]

very interesting thank you *****

[tysonic777]

I think this is the little raven as opposed to the australian raven, the call is too different, even for a juvenile

[theretards123]

this is definatley a raven for his neck it shaggy and is tail is more pointed then streight i would know cause im obsessed with corvids

[D3ADSY]

This is a juvenile, it's eyes are still black. Adults have blue eyes. The juveniles are the most interesting, they're always making these calls and allow you to get closer than the adults. Just something I've noticed.

[Dusty94niwa]

My dogs thought this was really funny... LOL!! ^^

[ArnoldSchwarznigger]

According to some audio sounds I just ran thru this sounds like a raven, crows have a clearer crisp "caaw". Also, the crest on the throat, larger beak, and wedged tail... Nice footage ant1991331.

[InlineSkater44]

I hate to be the one to break it to you but that is a crow, Not a Raven. Sorry

[ant1991331]

Sorry to hear that you think that, but it's a raven. Too many people confuse ravens as crows, this is definitely not a crow.

[Youaretoogreasy]

@ant1991331 Actually a raven is a crow. Crow is the family name for a species of bird that includes the raven, magpie and common crow. The ones that look like smaller ravens are called the "common crow".

[Hauyser]

@ant1991331 Raven's are of the same genus as crows... so they can basically be called crows.

[PutNameHere15]

@Hauyser Saying that is like saying apes can be called humans -.-'

[MsDrawn2u]

@ant1991331 Are you sure because I thought ravens have bigger beaks? That's a really slender pointy beak.

[MortuusCruor]

@ant1991331 it sounds more like a crow, it's call is pretty high pitched. looks more like a crow too :P

BUT- yes, it is a raven :P mind fuck right?

[valiantvyse]

This is a raven, you twit. See the crest on the throat? Not only that, crows of any variant do NOT make this call.

I believe this is an Australian raven. They're among the smallest and sleekest.

[geetergod1]

@InlineSkater44

Actually its a fish crow, deffinetly not a raven, silly people.

[geetergod1]

@InlineSkater44 Its a fish crow, not a regular crow, fish crows are down in the souther US south.

[Tristaniae]

@InlineSkater44 It`s a raven, they`re bigger and their head also seems bigger because they are more `fluffy or furry` than crows. Atop of the bill they have hairs, and they have more below too, on their necks, which, like I said, makes their head seem bigger. You can see it on their legs too. Crows are slimmer, their feathers look more `combed`.

[aropax40]

@InlineSkater44

It is the Australian Raven, Corvus coronoides

[SugarBudgie]

@InlineSkater44 It's a Raven, if you look at it's throat it feathers out when it ..makes whatever you would all that noise lol. Also it's feather's have a violet tint to them. When crows make a noise, typicalling when crowing their tail feathers fluff out and they bob their heads. Also note the difference of the beak here.

[Kenshinpup]

@InlineSkater44 its most definetely a young Raven...The head shape is to wide and bulky to be a crow...

[gottaluvbirds]

@InlineSkater44 your a little genius then arent you?

[janibrad]

WoW This raven is a really movie star ;-)

Great video ;-)

[OZoneGrl]

I can't get over how cute this bird sounds! Our ravens make a scary croaking noise, and this one sounds positively squeaky, yet it's so much bigger than the ravens in the US. xD

[ccoraxfan]

LOL! Just like Australian humans, Australian ravens have a strange yet compelling accent! :D

Good job, mate!
