One can also see an "unkindness" of ravens, which is not fair at all. Anyone who has been involved at all with ravens knows they are not "unkind", they are devoted parents and older siblings help take care of their younger bros and sisters. I've been feeding and interacting with a special raven dude I named "Igor" for 5 years, and he brings me gifts! Now he has a mate, I named her Elsa after Elsa Lancaster, the actress who played the "Bride of Frankenstein". I figured since the "bride" hated Dr. Frank and his monster, she might have had a love connection with Igor, who was the nicest guy in that story! I love them, and I'm planning on making a video about them once I get enough pics and video.

Every gram of me believes that ravens are smarter birds. Growing up with a hybrid raven, I know of their brilliance! They're so observant, patient, and confident. Our raven easily learned how to get out of every cage or door he was presented with, the only way to keep him out of rooms was with brute force, blocking them off so that he couldn't get in. He could tell my twin sister and me apart in an instant by looking at our eyes (she has one blind eye that is grey). I never thought much of it back then, but now that I'm older I realize just how special the corvidae family are, especially ravens. They're my favourite birds :-)

Kirsteny Svolger That's incredibly strange given that it's a raven, and your sister had a grey eye. Edgar Allen Poe of course wrote the raven, but The Tell-Tale Heart was about someone trying to rip out an old man's "pale blue" eye.

In all a very well thought out and executed presentation. Thank you. I've lived with rescued Crows and Ravens lifelong. I'm 70. My current Raven in residence, for more than 16 years. I interact with wild Ravens daily and occasionally Crows. I find great difference in look and behavior in juvenile and adult Ravens. Of particular note is the sounds. In fact juvenile Ravens can and often sound like juvenile and adult Crows. The Raven sound examples you use are all adults. To add to the confusion, juvenile Ravens flock. I believe for feeding and protection against predation. Crow flocks contain adults and juvenile alike. They look and act similarly. Adult Ravens (usually 4 years and up) pair bond and stake a territory that they defend vigorously. They do not fly with the juvenile flocks as adult crows do. Some adult pairs (lifelong bonds) will sometimes allow a few juveniles in their territory, but almost never adults. The only time I've seen the resident pair allow other adults in their territory is if to help defend from a predator. Hawks, owls and bobcats are examples. I've witnessed and a time or two been involved with the local bonded couple as they matured and attempted to claim their territory. I believe that in most cases, the allowed juveniles are the get of the territorial owners. There are many, many other differing habits that separate the two corvids. At Raven maturation, the throat hackles become more apparent, the beak thickens and grows longer, the head size increased demonstrably, the size of the body grows both in stature and 'beef', and they develop the 'throaty' sounds you display so well. Neither juvenile nor adult Crows possess any of these properties.

Both of these birds are so smart. Like ridiculously intelligent

Very well done! I keep coming back to this - simple, straightforward, and well presented.

I'd put my money on the raven. Also, as I've said above, I prefer the way the raven lives and shares in it's own family territory. Crows are either gang-bangers, or short feisty ravens on lots of caffeine. Both are amazing creatures! Both use tools, tease and play. The raven just seems to demonstrate a lot more pre-thought in it's actions, especially when it comes to teasing other animals and birds.

Thanks! I'm in the process of moving from Kansas to the high desert of New Mexico, and always suspected these huge crows up here are actually Ravens. Their everyday chatter is pretty cool, but one day I heard an absolutely amazing conversation, that I someday hope to hear again and record. Then a couple of weeks ago one landed within 10 to 15 yards from my dog and I, and started talking to us. As I spoke back, it landed even closer, giving me a decent photo. Should be interesting once I get settled here.

Thank you so much!!!!! I have both in my neighborhood and I enjoy them both but I could never distinguish them. I've been watching your videos, and you're wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to post them. It means a lot to me. Hugs!

@theravendiaries

I think the confusion comes from the fact that "crow" is used for both a family name (which as time goes on it's becoming more and more a meaningless classification system) and people use "crow" as a common species name. Where as there is no "hawk." But a hawk it's much easier to identify it as a "Redtail" or "Coopers" or a Kestrel. My point is people don't call a jackdaw a crow, so they shouldn't call a raven a crow. A raven is a raven and a crow is a crow although all 3 are under the family of "crows" (even though the true original latin for corvas is raven…so actually they all should be under the family of "ravens"…) Now, truthfully, does any of this make sense or really even matter? Absolutely not... : )

A hickory tree is in the "family" of walnuts but you don't call a hickory a walnut. You make the same ignorant mistake if you call a raven a crow.

Hi Aizel! Thanks for commenting but I'm not sure you're addressing what I'm trying to say here; a wolf is wild, hunts and lives in packs. Most dogs are domesticated and live in someones backyard. Ravens live in the countryside, pair up, stake out a territory and just may live together raising kids year after year in the same area all their life. Crows live like East LA gang bangers. My studies show ravens and crows are very different in the wild, not just in appearance. I'm also finding the more we know about the natural world, the more we are finding our 1800 classification system seriously lacking.

You call that 'taxonomic classification' -Kingdom -Tribe: -Class: -Order: -Family: -Sex -Kind/type So in this case (Raven) -Kingdom: Animalia -Tribe: Chordata -Class: Aves (birds) -Order: Passeriformes -Family: Corvidae (this is what you mean) -Sex: Corvus (and this) -Kind/type: Corvus corax Thats how you label living species ;) Not "oh, they look the same, must be same animal.."

n00bhunter i only know one thing about crows and raven.. they are birds, which i am trying to say from my first comment, they are different in physical form and adaptation, but they're differences did not separate them from being a bird... you saying " crows and ravens are not a different species". so they are birds. and when u say chinese and european are not different species because wer all humans just having diff sorts. u misunderstand me about that rooting thing, it's not a root where we came from bacteria.

But which is smarter?

+theravendiaries Crows are one of smartest animals of all, and the number one smartest bird, there have been multiple tests to prove so. Crows are the only non-primate species who use tools of any sort, and have puzzle solving skills challenging that of a seven year old human child. Crows can remember human faces and whether they're dangerous or not, and pass that information down through generations (crows really do hold grudges). Don't get me wrong I have nothing against your videos and if anything prefer ravens to crows. But when it comes to intelligence, the truth is that crows are more clever than ravens. Keep up the great videos.

+theravendiaries But saying ravens are as dumb as rocks may have been a little harsh, my apologies. Ravens certainly are smarter than most birds, but I'd still say crows are smarter.

This is SO USEFUL.

I absolutely love this video! It made it so simple and easy to follow!

a raven is a crow

A raven is a crow, like a wolf is a dog. But I'd say there's a big difference between wolf and a dog, just like there's a big difference between a raven and a crow...

They are both members of the Corvid family. They are related, but not the same. A raven is Corvus corax. The American crow is Corvus brachyrhynchos. Also in the corvid family are rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs and nutcrackers.

theravendiaries You need to clarify and use scientific names. Raven = Corvus Corax that belongs to Corvus (crow) genus.

***** Just because two things are biologically similar doesn't mean they are the same thing. They may have very different behavior patterns. You can safely keep a dog in your home. You may not want to keep a wolf . Now I love wolves. They are one of my favorite animals, but they are wild and that means unpredictable. Mountain lions live in the woods, lions in the savannah, tigers in the jungle. They would likely not want to trade environments, but all are felines. Ravens and crows have some very different behaviors as well despite looking similar.

sorry but its not a behavior issue. a raven is a crow,the largest. as is a magpie as is a jay. they all have different latin names but they are all still crows

Ravens look more Jewish

and crows are smarter. So the raven must be the jew of the corvus genus.

Perfect. Everything you need to know if you want to differentiate between crows/ravens. Entertaining, no-nonsense, informative video that easily kept my attention (ADHD) from start to finish.

I found everything about this video fabulous.

Fascinating facts presented clearly with stunning video footage examples!

Thank you. Just what I was looking for.

thank you for this video very informal and your voice is soothing

I love this video! Thanks a lot. In my country, people tend to merge different animals into one term (Crows and ravens are merged into one term, "gagak" in this case) so this helps a lot. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for this. 💚

Magnificent, thank you.

Really really helpful thank you. I just love both birds
