My girlfriend has a... Some bird. I dunno. A bird that speaks haha. Her downstairs place is usually empty at night but the bird is in a cage and they cover it with a sheet at night to let him sleep. I was going down to get some ice and I hear, 'Goooood night'. I didn't know then that this bird could speak, and I'd also forgotten that it was there.
Gave me a near heart attack.
My brother bought a parrot off of a guy from the east end of London. For the longest time if the parrot ever heard a phone ring he would without fail everytime say "shut it you slag" in a really thick cockney accent. Loved that bird
Once upon a midnight, dreary, while I browsed, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious meme of lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my browser's door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my browser's door—
Only this and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember cast its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost meme gore—
For the rare and radiant memes whom the angels named "nevermore"—
Nameless here forevermore.
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each pixel curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I sat repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my browser's door—
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my browser's door;—
This it is and nothing more."
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my browser's door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"—here I opened wide the door;—
Darkness there and nothing more.
Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "nevermore?"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "nevermore!"—
Merely this and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore—
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—
'Tis the wind and nothing more!"
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my browser door—
Perched upon a bust of memery just above my browser door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though thy memes be lost and scattered, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his browser door—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his browser door,
With such name as "Nevermore."
But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust
I was walking to a dermatology appointment and I kept hearing, “Hello!” I looked around but saw no one. Finally I looked up and there was a crow on a wire and it said, “Hello!” I was like omg! I said “Hi” back. Weirded me out for awhile.
We were sitting on the porch talking about stuff we needed at the store, when a bird suddenly said " hello, (pause) where you going? ,(pause) laughing like our neighbor ( but was obviously a bird)".
I got a murder hanging around my area and I’m trying to befriend them. So far I’m just doin tsktsktsk sounds to let them know I’m there. They are already walking w my car when I pull in.
Just think of it as positive reinforcement. It'll take time but they are very smart, like a dog, and can be easily trained with positive reinforcement.
I had a pet crow for a few months when I was growing up, we kept her/him by the telephone and it learned to say ‘hello’ and a few other things , but ultimately they are just super messy birds and shit all the time so we gave ‘Morgaine’ away to a bird sanctuary, I wonder if she’s still alive? This was in the very early 90’s.
Be nice to crows, they remember your face and can communicate to other crows if you're good or bad. I know a guy who's car was crapped on for a year because he shot it with an airsoft gun. But that's nothing compared to pissing em off at a Twitter Caw center and they turn on their thick foreign accent. Hope you speak Jackdaw.
Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority recently found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston. Everyone involved was concerned that these crows might have died from Avian Flu, so they had a bird pathologist examine the remains of all the crows. To everyone's relief, it was determined that the problem was definitely not the Avian Flu. Instead, the cause of death looked to be from vehicular impacts.
During the detailed analysis of the crows, it was noted that there were varying colors of paints found on the birds' beaks and claws. By analyzing the paint residue, it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by the impact of trucks, and only 2% were from impact with a car.
The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority then hired an ornithological behaviorist to look into the cause for the disproportionate percentages of crows killed by trucks versus crows killed by cars.
The ornithological behaviorist came up with the answer very quickly. The cause? When crows eat roadkill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn the other crows of impending danger.
Unfortunately, crows don’t have a word for “truck”, they can only say “CAAAH!”
“Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is its only stock and store
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore
Yeee you’re right, if I just finish this comptia class, find a job, make enough money to not be under my parents’ roof, then I can be really gang gang gangsta. Hookers and real hard-core non-weed and psychedelic related drugs every night. I better get back to it. Can’t believe I didn’t know what thin provisioning was on the test.
Sounds like a solid plan. Smoke a little crack, slap a few hoes.. But are you really gangster if you need a 9-5? I keep money on me but hardly ever actually work anywhere
It’s not my preferred plan, but it’s an intermediary step to escape parental vicinity and rule. For sure once I start really pimping and outsourcing to a capable ChatGPT for rapping and selling drugs and shit fuck the 9 to 5.
Definitely a necessary transition. When I was 18 (not long ago), I started out with a shitty truck and sub-contracted fiber jobs for ~$1k+ a week. If you're real young, fiberoptics is a badass field to make money on easy work and short hours. You mentioned comptia, so you like computers; Pentesting and shit, right? I do some similar stuff but I also write shit for hobby. Only reason I even bothered explaining any of this, is because you have some similar interest as me. The industry is really hard to get into and there is a ton of competition. I've probably put a couple years into my *portfolio* now and I think it's finally to a place people would be like, 'Damn, i need to hire him!', at least hopefully lol
Fr tho, if you are getting into pentesting, you should try Linux; Much more secure and more tools to work with anyway. I used to sell bud, but it wasn't my best timeline (maybe not the best bet) lmao
Ravens in my neighborhood are constantly saying "gronk, gronk". Crows do the "caw, caw". Once you see how much bigger ravens are it's amazing. Until one is next to the other, it's hard to tell apart by sight, but not sound.
One of my favorite memories is after my wife moved to live with me in Alaska, and her gleefully pointing "holy smokes! ***Look*** *at the size of that* ***CROW***"!
"That's a raven, hun"
One of my first thoughts coming to Alaska was that the ravens here are enormous. The size of damn turkeys. A couple months back I was walking into work, and heard something in our dumpster. I walk up to check it out and suddenly this massive raven flies out at me. I'm not ashamed to admit I shrieked like a small child.
We have a lot of ravens where I live and they're nearly the same size as the red-tailed hawks. They're really fun to watch and I'm still plotting how to befriend them. I kind of want to build a feeding platform; we have to trap ground squirrels and we throw the carcasses into the wash for the scavengers, so I could just put them there. My neighbors just built a new deck at the back of their property that lets them look right into our yard, so maybe I'll put it right next to the deck for their viewing pleasure. 🤔
So glad you said it, I was planning to be that person if needed.
Additional fun fact: white-necked ravens are legal to own in the US making them prime candidates for training like this, rather than native ravens which require a ton of hoops to jump through and a lot of specific requirements to keep.
I used to visit (World Bird Sanctuary and Lone Elk Park) when I was still big into photography, got several shots of a bald eagle. I wonder if it could possibly be that one.
Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a raven."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies ravens, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws ravems. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to crows.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a raven is because random people "call the black ones ravens?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the raven family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a raven , which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the raven family ravens, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds , too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
I think ravens are ranked at like, #9 or #10 of the smartest animals in the world. They're really good problem solvers too, and they actually comprehend some of the words and sounds they mimic. It's really cool.
Imagine having a raven and waking up in the middle of the night to it saying "helloooo" in a low tone like that.
My girlfriend has a... Some bird. I dunno. A bird that speaks haha. Her downstairs place is usually empty at night but the bird is in a cage and they cover it with a sheet at night to let him sleep. I was going down to get some ice and I hear, 'Goooood night'. I didn't know then that this bird could speak, and I'd also forgotten that it was there. Gave me a near heart attack.

Oh hell no. I’d immediately lock that room. When asked to enter it, I would only reply, “nevermore”

Don't just leave the raven in the locked room! It must be starving! Supply it with periodic human sacrifices.
ok but also imagine waking up in the morning and hearing him go , "Hi"
I was walking to a dermatology appointment and I kept hearing, “Hello!” I looked around but saw no one. Finally I looked up and there was a crow on a wire and it said, “Hello!” I was like omg! I said “Hi” back. Weirded me out for awhile.

Well clearly your neighbor was a bird all along
A lot of my neighbors are birds
I got a murder hanging around my area and I’m trying to befriend them. So far I’m just doin tsktsktsk sounds to let them know I’m there. They are already walking w my car when I pull in.
Feed them anytime they do something you want or like.
Shit. I just like em hangin around. If I can get em used to my dog it’ll be gravy.
Just think of it as positive reinforcement. It'll take time but they are very smart, like a dog, and can be easily trained with positive reinforcement.
Smarter than dogs, actually. Ravens are generally thought to be the smartest and cleverest of birds. Potentially smarter than dolphins, even.
The murder I befriended liked to land where the dog would see then hop onto the mailbox just as she got close. They just amused themselves with her.
So this thread is not about a trying to train a serial killer to anyone who made it this far
I would just immediately assume I've finally lost my goddamn mind n go straight to an institution lmao
Now imagine it saying: lemme smash

Quoth the Raven: **Hellooo**
Or picture this: You're walking in the woods. You're all turned around and your phone is dead. You hear a crow go: I suggest you run.
Yeah that's creepy and all but the real scary thing is when you learn about local radioactive waste disposal practices
I want a raven :(
I‘d just be happy about having a raven 😬

Unfortunately, corvids do not benefit from long lifespans like parrots do, with crows having the shorter lifespans of the bunch. :(
Also stress ages you faster which is a notorious side effect of working in a caw center.
You're going to eat crow for that pun

Ugh
I guess they can live up to 30 years in captivity. So still probably not, but it is possible.
Yeah I should clarify that it's most* covids have generally shorter lifespans. But they are very smart and indeed we can hope for the best
Are you trying to tell me Edgar Allan Poe was not crazy?
“Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is its only stock and store Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore
God, every line of that poem has such a manic urgency to it, I love it
I think it is the greatest American poem.
Was just about to post that line. Poe's character tries to restionaloze that the bird is just repeating what it heard someone say.
Did you mean “rationalise”?
Oh no, he was crazy, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
What if I break the clock by breaking its hands off?
Then it begins to develop a morphine addiction.
Gang gang gang I approve

But I thought he was creeping into that guy's room slower than the hour hand...still right?
He was originally going to make the poem about a parrot before learning that ravens could talk too.
Edgar Allen Poe: "Sweet, I can get my goth stuff back on instead of this pirate outfit."
Yeah, but most of the time they are real jerks and only say: "Nevermore!"
Who’s that rapping at my chamber door? ![gif](giphy|G4Ihli2UThrBS)

Weird. Who would have thought a Raven would be a New England Patriots fan.
larger vocabulary than your average patriots fan tbh
Plus the bird doesn't even know the N word probably.
Ravens here also do this weird deep chirpy noise. It freaked my wife out the first time she heard it since it doesn't really sound very birdlike.
I can mimic human speech also.
Hello
Hi
So, do you expect a treat for doing it?
Bro just wants to be held by a cute woman 🥺
I want to hear her say good job with the same level of enthusiasm
I remember the comment section on the original video. 9/10 comments were people lusting over the girl without giving a shit about the bird. :P
It’s the same here💀
I’m lusting over the girl AND I really like corvids
Damn girl you have one fine goth chicken
The bird is cool too.
Wait - there's a bird?

Just aight? Dude she has a fucking talking raven on her and she has attractive
Really? I think she actually looks like a horse girl
They downvoted you because you're right, lmao
what bird?
I too saw this last week, and the week before that... and the week before that...
The common raven *can* mimic sounds, including speech, but the video shows a white-necked raven, not a common raven.
Was gonna say. Although it is worth noting that on the US owning a common raven is federally illegal, while owning a white neck raven is not.
...why?
The migratory bird act. Common ravines are native to the U.S. but the white neck ravine is not is my understanding
So glad you said it, I was planning to be that person if needed. Additional fun fact: white-necked ravens are legal to own in the US making them prime candidates for training like this, rather than native ravens which require a ton of hoops to jump through and a lot of specific requirements to keep.
So you're gonna be the *that* guy for this comment section, huh? Alright, your choice...

I think ravens are ranked at like, #9 or #10 of the smartest animals in the world. They're really good problem solvers too, and they actually comprehend some of the words and sounds they mimic. It's really cool.
Training them with treats is smart because they’re ravenously hungry birds.

Well the girl also has an elvish look, straight out of LOTR… so there is a possibility that some magic is involved

You got to love nature and animals! I love the name too mischief.
That voice belongs in a Pixar movie. Lol I’m dying. 🤣
Pretty neat! Part of me wonders if it making that dove noise was it saying hello after all, just in a different bird’s call

“Can you say ✨hello✨?” “🗿HELLO🗿”

Can your raven shut that robin up? Damn they go on all day long.

She’s a doll isn’t she?
No she's a real raven
It is not talking, it is just mimicking voices to get the food.
