a talking raven

[svetlanalupesku]

so CUTE!!

[TheRocksoul92]

he says Jaska and that is a name in finland :)

[drumheadcircle]

In America Yesca is a kind of skunk weed- too funny.

[mahpokemons]

Do female and male crows sound like this? or do they have the choice to use a woman or mans voice at will?

[mrB0DYmassageMACHINE]

@mahpokemons i think they can do same as parrots - adapt voices

[TheOneWingedBird]

@mahpokemons They can sound like women too.

[koRnkitty]

@mahpokemons Ravens can produce over 300 types of different sounds, and they imitate to a startling level of accuracy exactly what they hear - so if a woman is talking to the bird, it will imitate the said words in a woman's voice, regardless of its own gender :) Crows cannot replicate as accurately as ravens, since they have a more limited spectrum of sounds.

[infectedkoozer]

wow? Du hast! teach him to say that! sounds Eggzactlee like rammstein lololl

[kjsdhgf7]

Jaska.

[suncu91]

nevermore

[MrJonnyc16]

He saying yesca... Spanish for tinder.. Tinder is used to light fires, the raven wanted a fire to keep warm in the snow.

CREEPY THAT!

[alexmckain]

I played this (sound only) to one of my single friends, and she said he sounded like someone she'd like to date. Then I showed her that he was a bird.

[STR80077]

He said yesca that means weed in Spanish

[newscomedyCP]

Thats so raven...

[cliftut]

Until I read the deswcription I thought he was saying, "Yes, Scott." :D

[WishfulfillingJewel]

Perhaps he is saying "My butt is freezing in this snow" in Finnish. Cute bird!

[ijwi]

Why can't 'e 'ave som' meat!?

[tankeriv]

What does he say?

[mastanoob593]

@tankeriv

"Jaska", a Finnish given (male) name.

"Joo", 'Yeah/yes' in Finnish

[choroidplx]

OMg that was sooooooooo trippy

[jakicevic]

JASKA >MEAT

JOO>YES

[Kaurahiutale]

@jakicevic

Jaska's his name, it doens't mean MEAT. :P

[jakicevic]

@Kaurahiutale On russian-meat-.Jaska is his name!?He speaks like an old man

[MSK120]

Lol, the crow has an old man voice.

[mewmermaidsaskue]

well im not sure if there is another way but im sure there might be

[finlandiavodkalime]

he says Jaska :D

[mewmermaidsaskue]

a raven can learn how to speak a language if they have their tounge cut when they are still new borns

[Khornedevotee]

@mewmermaidsaskue: Why would you want to cut their tongues out? Is that the only way they could learn a language?

[coolethan8]

@Khornedevotee cutting the tongees out would make it impossible for them to speak at all, you split their tongues just like you do with parrots

[Khornedevotee]

@coolethan8: Oops, sorry XD I didn't realize that I write ''cut their tongue OUT'' instead of my intended ''split their tongues''. But anyway, since we're done with that, is THAT the only way for them to learn any language? I've read some comments here that some disagree with you : /. They(as you may have alrdy seen) say that you do not need to split their tongues at all for them to learn a language. I have really no clue since I'm not experienced with learning crows/ravens/parrots a language.

[cliftut]

@Khornedevotee Like people, each crow is different. Maybe some of them can do it naturally while some can't? After all, some people don't have mouths that work as well for talking as most. That's not meant as an insult to them; some people just have an unusual jawline or a natural lisp, or other things that make speaking more difficult.

[EpithalamionJinx]

what are they saying?

[bluebow23]

I di not know they can learn to talk !!!Thats bad ass.

[Meanor89]

Actually, it says "мяска!" which can be translated as "(i want) some meat!"

[Brandtalones]

What is the girl saying at the end?

[DaPsykopaatti]

@Brandtalones

Kiitos. = Thank you.

[TankTaur]

I said this before, but I have to say it again, it seems:

I've seen that raven, but it or rather it's keeper fails, since the raven says "say 'nevermore'" and not just the single word. Furthermore, it must be my own "pet" raven. So I can't die happy yet! :P

[soldatsolidsquall]

nascar!

[Eragarev]

Is that crows voice? Sounds so sexy..

[Lance1992100]

@Eragarev its a raven crows r small ravens big eay to mix up tho

[phoenixsoul06]

>.>

[suicidejocke1]

sounds like rammstein

[ScreamJerkandRock]

@suicidejocke1 if i had a raven i'd teach it to sing "Du hast"

[VonTavast]

Lmfao at first I thought it was a man standing behind saying that.

[whatruin2]

is he in a cage?

[jaymepaulsmema]

I had to watch it twice. I had no idea that crows &/or birds in same family had vocal cords so that they could form human words :0 It seems real, such a deep voice, which I find interesting. But is it possible that someone did a voice over?

[jakicevic]

jaska=fuck you

[DinoMaster229]

JASKA

[zeptinune]

That raven is the cutest :D!

[OngelmaKarhu]

i had see that too :D i live finland kauhajoki (:

[hunterrra]

He is saying in Russian "Myasko" that means meat)))

[marvellegend]

What does it mean....Jaska?



[Killjoy45]

@marvellegend

Its her name.

[DudemanClide]

waka waka waka waka

[ApocalypticaGirl13]

Okay.

I love this raven.

♥

[TheL12213]

It sounds like it's saying 'Jasper' and it's trying to poke you with a stick.

[Treehugger1027]

0:13 "jessika!! jessika! no use!"

[Puffadderr]

@Treehugger1027 It's "Jaska, Jaska, JooJas"

[LolkieForever]

So sweet <3

[kaox44]

"ass-cock"? WTF?

[Uwaikai]

Might he be Sebastian? > <

[sic6664]

Tuo sama korppi yritti nokkia multa sormen irti joskus. Tarjos nokassaan aina keppiä tuolta aidan raosta ja sit kun menit ottamaan sitä ni se yritti nokkia sormia.

Letkeä lintu!

[faisalabulaziz1]

sweet



[shooting4fun]

Way too cool!

[namasterchoma]

Thats from Ranua Zoo, Finland ;)

[hannahappiest]

WHAT IT'S NOT FAKE? o_o

[Bluffeddood]

Jaska ;:D

[BoredChick]

He looks and sounds like a grumpy old man <3

[luketheguy]

coolest voice ever!!!

[PlanetDead]

I've been to this zoo soo many times yet I have never gotten to see this raven :(

[Fawerown]

When I heard the first Jaska I was like: "What? Who yell my name outside?!" and when I realised its was on this video my face went O_O!

[ILoveEpicMusic]

Wtf? --- russian name: Яшка...---- eng. mean Yasha(Yashka)

Russians had always given such names birds...(parrots)

[DeltaSilver88]

I wonder where he learned this? XD I bet he copied the voice, too.

And for you non-Finnish people out there, the word he's saying is "Jaska". It's a first name for a man in Finland.

[Sleyah]

He sounds like an old man, lol.

[UrbanPunch]

Wtf is it saying, never mind whether if someone can train it to speak english. This is pretty much pointless to everyone who isnt Finnish.

Atleast have the decency to put up translation of wtf the bird and you are saying.

What you posted was a person screaming on shrooms and saying hes speaking alien... with no translation what so ever...

[Ar5Sda]

JASKA :D

[Zeronightx]

Hooooooly crap, that's awesome

[TheDiver3]

lol



[UlfLundell]

this can't be for real

[favsncrap]

@UlfLundell It is.. when i first heard something like this for real it even sounds fake being there as the voice sounds so weird almost as if they are throwing there voice ... but yep it is them its just so unreal... these people are lucky they caught it talking a few times in a row

[psychocycledad]

Thats pretty smart... I cant even speak finnish

[LittleBlueHeron]

Now that's awesome! Does anyone know what it's saying? :D

[ThinBear4]

@LittleBlueHeron He's saying name of a finnish drummer of "Children of Bodom" metal band xD

[LittleBlueHeron]

@ThinBear4: Lol! now that's cute! :P

[TheScorpionFLOWER]

@ThinBear4 yeap....he actually says " Jaska"

i wasn't that sure...thank you!!!

[vilzakilla]

@LittleBlueHeron Its own name: JASKA

[EVLWNS]

I've never heard a corvid speak. It sounds delightfully frightening.

[nasutar]

Oijoi, täähän on se Ranuan eläinpuistosta joka oli aina tosi hauska ku se puhu ku sitä rapsutti kepillä mahasta tai jotain vastaavaa :D

[butterfly50119]

smart as can be!

check out cat and crow are friends.

[jianfongyaw]

lol this bird is so special, that it can mimic "yaskar"

[sompret]

Totally got the voice to sing Moskau

[MNooze]

Jaska is finnish name and it's spelled exactly how that raven does :D

[Gururimba]

hahaahahahahhaha

[kitttiekatkat]

omg that is a deep voice lol!!!

[CorvusKorax17]

That Raven has a Deep Voice....

[43447]

@CorvusKorax17 It looks like a evil russian general voice from a movie hahahahahaha

[stetcos]

IASKA

[TankTaur]

If I had a pet raven I'd teach it to say "Nevermore".

If that ever becomes reality, I can die happy right then and there.

[NobleLordDarcia]

@TankTaur, Hahahahah.

[lovemesomekatemoss]

Totally dude!

[2678728]

@TankTaur i would really be freaked out and think...edgar allan poe predicted my future?!!!

[mattz1010]

@TankTaur watch?v=rIX_6TBeph0 - This raven says nevermore :D

[TankTaur]

@mattz1010 Good find! Thanks for sharing! It was awesome.

[305Erwin]

@TankTaur why nevermore??????

[crazzykidds]

@305Erwin cuz edgar allen poe wrote a poem about stuff and in this poem was a raven that always said "nevermore"

[OtoninShinobi230917]

@305Erwin There was a man named Edgar Allan Poe who wrote a very famous poem called "The Raven," In which the raven only states the word "Nevermore."

[KitBikyuu]

@TankTaur I joked about doing the same thing... Is it even possible? If so, I'd probably cheat by recording myself saying 'nevermore' and looping it near the bird's enclosure at night.

[ScubaSteve5k]

@KitBikyuu Actually, that is a very common way owners of pet parrots teach their bird to talk. So, it wouldn't be cheating , just speeding up the process. My parents raised several different parrots when I was young.

[Centralia62801]

@TankTaur I just mentioned that to my hubby. Then I read your post. I would love to have 3 Ravens Edgar, Allan, and Poe.

[Ravensong2]

@TankTaur

Haha me too! That'd be awesome! o.o

[LordOfReaping]

@TankTaur

watch?v=rIX_6TBeph0



[hypnotiks]

@TankTaur

Type in "raven says nevermore"..it's been done lol.

[jasonx165]

@TankTaur You can die happy now /watch?v=rIX_6TBeph0

[TankTaur]

@jasonx165 I've been told about it several times, but that instance is quite the failure; the raven is mimicing the phrase "say 'nevermore'" and the "say" part really takes the edge off of it, and it is said in a very calm and anti-dramatic manner to boot. It is also not my OWN pet raven saying it. That is a very important part of my dream too. Ravens are fascinating creatures and I'd much like one to be closely associated with me (I'd rather not consider it as a case of me "owning" the raven)

[wowroxsocks]

@TankTaur Quoth the raven.

[xbrionybabex]

@TankTaur Why teach it Nevermore?

[cowzgoOINK]

@xbrionybabex

Edgar Allen Poe...The Raven...are you uneducated?

[TheJilliscious]

@xbrionybabex  RWJ reference xD

[kshepherdgmail]

@TheJilliscious *facepalm*

[bevans52]

@TankTaur mine would say the steelers suck donkey dick

[INSTERMENTAL]

@TankTaur why nevermore? i dont get it? :|

[TheJilliscious]

@INSTERMENTAL RWJ reference, haha.

[OnkelMickwald]

@TheJilliscious No, it's an Edgar Allan Poe-reference.

[ShareYourUnderwear]

@INSTERMENTAL Edgar Allan Poe wrote a short story called The Raven and he exclaimed "Nevermore!" It's more of a literature geek thing ;P

[FunkesDragonRider]

@TankTaur

There is one somewhere on youtube. :)

[jeffrey41010]

@TankTaur i think you can see a raven saying that now

[MarkArandjus]

@TankTaur watch?v=rIX_6TBeph0

[doodlefreaklol]

@TankTaur you can also buy a bust of pallace and place it above your chamber door.

[toolbar12423]

@TankTaur lol edgar allen poe

[btson312]

@TankTaur it became reality lol. its on youtube ravenmanie

[EyelessEntity]

hahahhah ravens are soo awesome! xD

[zero1strike]

Mindblowing ! i wanna raven for a pet haha !!

[ShahMashya]

Simply amazing! This is the parrot from northern hemisphere.

[Xobbe96]

The raven is saying Jaska its a name in finland.

[Inkki89]

@Xobbe96 or paska that means shit on finnish :D

[7rancisco1]

Sounds, like some european langauge; and it sounds like a 'warning' tone; the way the raven says it.

[Empathisantin57]

THEY have too:Never live alone.....

[Nzarubara]

Heh. I've been in the same park in Finland, and I met this Raven :]. I've got simillar movie. Got to post it one day. It was a very unusual experience talking to this interesting creature :).

From what I remember he was also saying some other word sounding like Joo (yoo) from what I remember. Got to find tis vid :).

[AbbeyNormal]

Why do ravens always have men's voices? It's so weird.

[altheathepirate]

Don't be daft, they're not men's voices. It's just got a low sound to it.

[AbbeyNormal]

Yes, that's what I meant when I said "men's voices". That they're low.

[FlatulenceFox]

He kind of sounds like one of the butchers at the grocery store down the street from me.

[Dargakis]

it would be funny (macabre) if they teach a crow to say

"You will die within 1 week"

and film the response of random strangers, and show it on tv in a comedic program :P

[JakoRaptor]

I know 2 hungarian raven which one of them continously says "Uh-oh" while the other "Ne baszogassá má" which means in hungarian: "Leave me alone, dammit!" -kinda unbelievable, but true, I saw them in live in television.

[HelveticRaven]

He says his name which is Jaska

[phili878]

I have heard of Ravens that could speak before, though it must be incredibly hard to teach them. Amazing

[Empathisantin57]

Hello Jasper...your wonderfull....

[Fakkan]

That's wonderful and creepy at the same time.

[MissArithe]

Kiitos.

[AnonIonCannon]

NASCAR?

[Sugarcult2009]

I think the left wing is mest up -_____-

[GContelli]

wow , cool :D

[Shorty20122012]

that's so weird wow

[k1ssmyc0w]

my god that bird has a deep voice LOL all this time i thought it was a human talking not the bird ahaha

[archerLS]

im from finland isnt that weird

[MetalSlime19]

sounds like when you select the default character name on Earthbound/Mother 2

[timabad]

I think he wants some yeska...

[Tingilyawen]

"Jaska" is a common finnish male nickname.

[timabad]

yeska is slang spanish word for marijuana

[Tingilyawen]

Maybe, but if that raven is finnish, it's much more likely that it has learned the word from there.

In finnish "j" is spelled "y" and "y" is spelled "ü". To explain it those who speak english. :)

[timabad]

I know... It was just a joke :)

[nahkahiir]

I remember this bird, it lives in the zoo of Ranua. It made me and my sister rotfl because it repeats my name. :D

[Diatomus]

he speaks so humanly, i'd never think it wasn't human o_O

[xraycat30]

So he can speak amongst the Finnish population and become a productive member of society silly.

[breenah559]

What does "Jaska" mean?

[Sauriermann]

Jaska is a man's name

[Nijiyume]

lol kitos mean thank you ^^

[RusStarik]

Он говорит - "Яшка", владельцы наверное наши, русские.

He speaks - "Jashka", owners probably our, Russian.
