Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

I've spent a lot of time looking over videos and sites trying to discover other recorded noises that crows make besides the caw and the rapid click but haven't heard anything similar. Another noise I've heard was a very soft, sweet warbling chatter. It was incredibly charming

But hey, I was incredibly hyped to catch this. Have you heard anything similar?

A year or two ago i heard an owl doo its hohoohoo. Then a band of crows started mimicking it in a very mocking fashion. It was hilarious. Owl probably not happy though.

Sometimes our crows sound like they're talking to each other. Not like that, but more like a half heard whisper?

That is very evocative of what the sound was like! Unfortunately it was close to a decade ago that I heard it but the sound has haunted me since
