I love how smart crows are, especially when they trust someone - they'll actually pass that info on to other crows (especially family) about good humans so they know who is/isn't a threat
The more I think about it the more I realize they were/are smart. We are the ones to "realize" damn, animals are smart. They can't do calculous or build a rocket, but they survive and adapt in ways we cannot yet fathom. Lemme know the next time a hurricane or fire comes and your home is outside in a tree or on the ground. Animals are gone hours before. We still see people sitting on their roof, house flooded waiting for a helicopter. Like I said, they are smart.
@@cecilia-vh6ld yeah so much forcing that larger number of people are reverting. The fastest growing religion in the world. You Kafir really can't wait to spread lies about Islam. 🙄

I'm an old guy, but I remember Jocko, my pet crow that I got out of a nest in an almond orchard. Had him for two years, then one day he decided to leave. Gosh, that was in 1959! You did a great job raising him young lady!
Fun fact: Crows have a history in being best friends with wolves. Crows often used to drop sticks from the trees for wolf pups to grab. Essentially playing some form of fetch. So dogs playing fetch is already hardwired into their brains due to crows. Crows also flew behind pray that wolves are chasing so the wolves don’t lose it. In return the crow gets some of the meal if it was successfully caught. So it’s not much of a surprise that Pepe and Xena grew attached almost immediately.
Crows and ravens have extremely good facial recognition, which is why most of the time even if returned to the wild and contact is limited, they still remember. That is why Pepe is okay with your family but still leery of others he doesn't know.
Very true - Corvids are something else; theatrical, dramatic, highly intelligent, only in more recent years have I realized just how adept & skilled they really are !
I had read somewhere that these birds can remember a face for up to 20 years, not sure how they figured that out, but I found that as extraordinary in its self.
I'm actually not surprised he managed to bond with the dog, flocks of ravens (another bird in the Corvus family closely related to crows) in the wild will often bond with packs of dogs. The ravens help search for prey from the air and lead the wolves to it, in exchange the wolves tenderize the flesh of the prey for the ravens to share with them. And it's not solely business too, because ravens will play with wolf pups. If they stopped hunting today, they'd likely still hang around each other. This has been going on long enough that it's thought to be the influence behind Odin's depiction as traveling with a pair of wolves and ravens. So as odd as this thing may seem, it's likely not the first time this has happened. Having a crow and a dog is also the closest you might come to being a god.
@@carpetclimber4027 Actually, there are several examples of human-animal symbiosis, historically and in modern times. The most obvious one is dogs, of course. They were hanging out with our ancestors long before we ever figured out animal husbandry. There is also a kind of bird called a honeyguide, of which there are several types living throughout africa and asia. They'll actually lead people to honey bee nests, and the human honey hunter will naturally leave bits of comb, honey, and larva behind for the bird to feast on. Experienced honey hunter actually know a call that will attract honeyguides to help them out- it's actually pretty cool to watch. These are just two I can think of off the top of my head, but I'd bet real money there are more. Of course- animals coming into conflict with other animals is nothing new either- just as humans coming into conflict with animals isn't. Thing is, that kind of Symbiosis take a long time to evolve naturally. Humans aren't just the new kid on the block, we're far and away from the region and biome our species developed in (which is believed to be the fertile crescent around Africa. Very few people live there now.)
@@carpetclimber4027 dont worry,they capitalize on that one too. crows would recognize and follow armies around,hoping people would kill each other so they could catch a few snacks. hence why they are considered a bad omen
We had a crow when I was a kid! He fell out of the nest into our garden and sadly the parents abandoned him. Once he was old enough to go back into the wild he did so, but returned almost every day to spend time with us. He even began imitating our voices like a parrot would. He also knew exactly who was part of the family and who wasn't. They are scary smart.
They are on the top 10 (if im not mistaken) of the chart of smartness among animals. Who knows how much time will take to evolution make them even smarter
He imprinted on you because he was so young and most likely see’s you as his parents or siblings. We had a Crow show up on my doorstep with a broken wing, he was actually crowing and pecking the door to get our attention to help. We nursed him back to health and even taught him how to mimic some human words. We released him after about 5 or 6 months but he would still visit us every day for scratches and pets. They’re incredibly intelligent sentient beings.
You're so fortunate that Pepe took up with other crows when he started flying. My crow was just learning, when a hawk killed her. She just didn't know, and there were no other crows to teach her. Ironically, a hawk had dropped her in our yard as a tiny baby, and that's how we came to have her. Smartest bird I was ever around. I miss her every day, and it's been 16 years since I lost her.
So sorry for your loss 💔 You must’ve had an incredible love for your little one to think about her and miss her 16 years later. I like to think that when our loved ones pass, if we still remember them and think about them with love, that they live on with us in our hearts. A piece of us is changed by having known and loving them. Sending you all the comfort, love & support I can muster. 💕 Your crow was lucky to have someone who cares so deeply for them.
I've been feeding a 6 or 7 generation murder of crows every day for many, many years now. Still waiting for the little shits to bring me a "crow gift," lol. But they help chase off the hawks, owls and foxes that hunt my rescue squirrels, so that's truly the best gift they can give me. Love this video!
How do you befriend a crow. All the birds come to our yard with the exception of crows. Once in a blue moon (mostly winter) they stop by and watch from above. I put food (compost, seeds, bird food) and water. Othertimes they get chased by grackles. Mostly it happens in the spring and summer months.

This was in 1967. I was 7 yrs old My great uncle found an abandoned baby crow. I think it was actually a Raven. He hand raised it. It could talk and answer to its name, Jacko He grew into this beautiful shiney jet black majestic bird. But some really bad boys in our area were afraid of it and ended up killing Jacko with sling shots. My uncle was devastated, never forgot the bird and mourned it for the remainder of his life. I'm 62 and I still remember seeing them together. The love and trust they had for each other. It's like it was yesterday. Such beautiful and clever birds
One of my first memories as a child was my mother telling me that my grandfather found a crow with an injured wing on his farm in Austria and repaired it with a splint. The crow knew he was being taken care of. To this day, I feel a connection with crows. You're a lovely couple.
@@jacobdoolan4978 Oh I thought a bird pooping on you was a sign of good luck. I guess it depends on whether or not you're trying to sit on that bike seat 😂
Its hard to be accepted by a wild crow and they have done great keeping Pepe wild. Pretty cool that he comes and shows them off to his other wild crow friends. Hope they never have to move and lose their connection to Pepe.
The difficulty is in knowing which crow in a group of crows is the one that you are trying to maintain a one-to-one relationship with. It is a lot easier with single crows or couples.
So this crow is both functioning with a human family and interacting with the crow people. Fascinating. He's truly an ambassador, what a wonderful gentleman.
This lady is an incredible trainer. She knew how to help the crow without making him dependent on her. She also knew how to train her dog very well to make him accept the crow and not scare him. She immediately said to her "no barking" when the crow was nearby. This woman is like an animal whisperer
Crows are intelligent birds and they have excellent memory. They behave like humans, attending to the funeral and even judge other crows. And they remember who treat them bad, too.
At a Starbuck's near us we've often seen a crow use the large fountain there to separate edibles from inedibles in the same way exhibited by some primates: The crow drops its findings into the fountain basin and retrieves the edibles (ex: seeds, insects) that float.
Imagine if more and more crows start interacting with humans if people don't hurt them just like when dolphins and sting rays come to humans out of curiosity. I would totally have fun interacting with them!

It's the kind of bond you only get from raising it from a young age or bringing it back to health. I've got a really strong bond with my cat because I had him since he was a tiny kitty, but he will run away from most other people, unless I'm with him at the time and even then It's still touch and go
@@chriswelcome8102 plus crows are just super chill birds. Have a ton where I live and they don't really mind you, sometimes they "talk" with you, listening to what you say and cawing in response. They're so cute. Plus what you said about animals is totally true!! You can get a bond with an animal at any age, but when you raise one from a baby it's just so.. special. We got my brother's dog when she was 6 weeks old, and she loves each and every one of us, I've just never seen such a friendly dog. She lays on her back a lot and exposes her belly with is the sign of ultimate trust :)
Bring food and they will slowly start trusting you. It takes time and patience but they are very smart animals. And very curious. I've had a couple of crows visit me every day on my breaks at work. They just came and sit next to me and chill for a bit. I gave them food offcourse.
Dogs love to play. Dogs are one of the animals that will actually hold back and not go all in against someone smaller or weaker. Its not important to them who wins or who loses, its the game that's fun. When both, or all parties involved are having fun, the games go on for much longer!

My magpie landed on the dog's back last week. The dog gave her a dirty look a wandered off once I shooed off the magpie! (Same situation as this, magpie is a rescue).
My mom rescued a crow when I was young. She nursed it back to health and he loved everyone in the family including the dogs. The dogs tolerated the crow., he would ride on their backs. He came to the window and knocked with his beak when he wanted in and we just opened the window and let him in. Left the window open so he could leave. He usually stayed for hours. I'll always remember Mr. Crow!
This so warmed my heart. Most people don't realize how smart and compassionate birds can be. And I love your narration of the story of Pepe. In heaven, the lion lies down with the lamb.
Not to be rude but it's actually the wolf will lie down with the lamb but yes agreed so warming 💓🥰 Isaiah 11:6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together...
I am so very happy that he doesn't trust strangers and that he only trusts his family . Crows are very incredibly smart and this will help him with survival
tbh its more likely that the crow sees their guardian as a mate - you can see the crow wiggling its tail and the human touching the bird WAY down its head, which is sexually stimulating and not petting really. you must trust your mate since crows mate for life and raise children each year
Crows and Ravens are very Social Birds--and by Definition, very affectionate with each other and Humans(under conditions as here) they even are known to be 'Kind' to other Juveniles that get 'Rebuffed' by a Female when looking for a mate--Social, Affectionate and Intelligent. I raised and kept a crow for a Pet in High School. They are very , very intelligent as lady states. Enjoyed all the comments of people who have raised and released them back to Wild and have kept that bond nutured over yrs after release. Very enjoyable to view Video and read comments.
1:58 I’m crying looking at this little baby… my Nanny (great grandmother) nursed a crow back to health in the 70’s. She says he visited her for the rest of his life and came to her at the end, you may have just made a forever friend :)
Great human beings. I love when Xena barked a little at Pepe, the mom calmly said 'no barking' while patting her gently. No wonder Xena is so chilled and Pepe trusts them
Even though indistinct to human ears, all birds have their own unique call, and crows are known to remember people. Pepe here definitely recognizes you by your voice calling his name, and knows your mannerisms, letting him feel safe around you.
Crows can stay with their parents for up to two years or longer. Sometimes crows help raise the new babies as well. They are a very sophisticated family/flock network compared with most other birds who leave the parent(s) very soon after fledging
I am friend with a pair of crows since many years and they seem to feed and teach their children till about middle of August. After that the parents are alone again. I have often wondered where they take their children and leave them for good. They don't allow any other crows into their territory.
I’ve raised three crows at different stages of my life. The first in the sixth grade with my mom and the most recent one (actually a Jackdaw) with my wife. The second one didn’t make it-it’s a dangerous world; it’s important that they learn how to avoid these dangers the best they can. The other two presumably are living full and happy lives in the wild. We took them through a rehabilitation process. I’ll always love these birds.
So beautiful! I love that they managed to raise him so he could be a wild bird. I also love it that he still visits them! I would love to befriend a crow. I love birds so much!
Moral of the story...... When a wild animal is in need, and you can do something to help save that animal, do so and your reward will be long lived, with an experience very few get to enjoy. This women is incredibly lucky to have a great friendship with such a wonderful crow.....
Its very beautiful when people take the time to understand animals and cross the species limitations and mental blocks. These folks have done that. What a great gift to have the respect and trust of a wild bird which views you as family. Thank you for your most excellent care of this baby crow. I've done a lot of rescue rehab of animals, birds, reptiles, and even boa constrictors know when someone cares for them. Its a beautiful thing to communicate without spoken language, but just an energy they feel. Bravo on an excellent job!
@@ladysuda3807 This is another name for the Ball Python, or Python Regius. They are very gentle and make good pets for the reptile specialist owners. Adorable guys and good natured, not as temperamental as the much larger Suriname Redtail Boas I had. I adore those boas but they require specialty care and are not easy due to size. A mature ball python can still be carried around. Great job on your rescue!
@@mjremy2605 Thank you! I’m British and Royal Python is what we name them here. I still say Ball Python sometimes though. Yes they are very gentle and docile animals and my girl is so pretty and she is grateful to be safe now. Her previous owners starved her. Now she has exercise, food, a lovely enclosure and she goes to the park when the weather is nice. She has what looks like a burn or a rat bite on her lower body.. In Britain it’s illegal to feed live so I’m not sure what happened. I do think that Boas are gorgeous too but I think that they grow that big and I don’t have the room. I do have corn snakes though and Scorpions and tarantulas and hissers and cats. I’m glad that my Python is in my life. 💖💛❤️🔥
I rescued a very small crow that had fallen 20 feet from its nest we put him in a Macaw cage outside and after treating for a serious mite infestation and nursing him back to health I named him crowbar because he would take his beak and push my hand up to put his head under my palm after about 3 months he saw a flock flying over and flew off but he came back every couple of days to visit and get some jumbo meal worms.He would come back less frequently over about two years but I'll never forget my buddy crowbar most interesting intelligent bird I ever rescued, if people only knew the truth about them they wouldn't have such a bad stigma. Thank you for posting this video.
The part where he just looked at you while you were petting him was GOLD. The affection is visible in his eyes. i truly love this. i used to have a few pet birds and my favorite one was a Yellow-vented Bulbul. i raised it before it even hatched out of its nest until it died 5 years later. I loved that bird to bits. IMO, birds are the most beautiful animal on the planet. Hands down.
sorry but imagine someone who feeds you also "pets" you around the nipples all the time, ofc there's gonna be hella affection in your eyes. the tail wiggle an obvious indication of a mating behavior, which all birds express, and birds in captivity get sexually frustrated with no same-species mates around and hormones kicking, and now there's a human constantly stimulating. pet bird owners usually know they shouldn't touch their birds anything but head. getting hormonal without action may lead to all sorts of problems, given captive bird (even if rescued) is already in pretty unconventional conditions. i love corvids too, both for their looks and intelligence, but anthropomorphism is an easy trap to fall into. animals are much more unique and interesting than watered down versions of humans (;
Aww my heart🖤 This reminds me over a baby crow I saved years and years ago! His name was Arrow. He had a sibling, Bow, but Bow sadly passed away. I rehabilitated Arrow and when he got strong enough, he flew away. It broke my heart when I went to check on him that day and he wasn't there. But to my surprise, later that day, I heard a tapping noise at my bedroom window...it was him! I was thrilled! He'd come hang out with me nearly every day for 7 years! He'd perch on my shoulder and nuzzle my neck hehe🥰 Such an awesome bird. I miss him dearly. When he stopped showing up, I assumed he had passed away. I'll never forget him🖤 RIP Arrow💗
The used mascara wand gift was cool! He thought this is a human thing-e for a girl so surly she will love it! When you think about it, it is actually quite brilliant because he must have seen a human female using one and figured it would make a great gift. What an amazing bird and a wonderful human family who took him in! Cheers
Unlikely he thought about her being a female in regards to the gift. In fact I'd be money it has absolutely nothing to do with it. I do agree that he recognized it as a human item and thought it would make a good gift for his human.
@@dakota9821 You may be right, however; I had an African Grey growing up named Bird and I can assure you he absolutely could tell the difference between a male and female human being. He didn’t like most men, only allowing my stepfather to handle him. He was aggressive towards males, even male children like my little brother, but anytime a female walked in the room Bird would whistle at them 😱 sometimes he would even say “pretty girl” after he whistled. So, I believe crows and black birds are just as intelligent as Bird was and able to tell the difference between male and female humans 🤔 Cheers
I remember when I was about 9 or 10 me and my friend were hanging out, and we kept hearing a cawing sound in the woods. We went to it and found a crow stuck in a bush. He had small tree limbs that punctured some of his wings and he couldn't get out. So we carefully approached him and he sat there and watched us and let us remove the branches from his wings and he let us pet him. Then he flew off. Awesome experience and it makes more sense knowing how intelligent crows are.
My uncle found a small crow. We called him Bobby. He had stunning blue eyes and never fully lost them. They became more gray-ish but never black like on most crows. He stayed with uncle for around a year and a few months. He would perch on his shoulder and groom him, they tried to give him to a rescue but he wouldn't eat and would try to escape, so they took him back. Eventually he flew off on his own and never came. Last time we saw him was with a flock of pigeons, we are sure it was him because of the eyes and that he turned to look at us when he called him.
My dad fed the crows whenever there was left over chunks of meat/gristle. He would walk outside, call them, and they'd come by the dozen. They knew him very well. Extremely smart animals.
The gas station I work at has 2 crows that visit every morning around 7am waiting for me to give them some food. They will wait on opposite ends of the lot and call out when they see me walk outside. After a year they started bringing me trash (I pick up a lot of trash), because they think that's what I like lol. They know my schedule too! So when my schedule randomly changes a day they aren't there waiting for me. If I'm off work or sick they are extra vocal when I'm back. They still don't entirely trust me and keep 10 feet away usually.
Pepe's so fortunate to live with his humans yet still be wild. And I love the friendship with Zena. Who are the pets here?😅 Once as I was walking my dog, I came upon a crow wings spread on the grass near the sidewalk. Since I thought he was injured, I called a wildlife rescue, but when I returned later, he was gone. So I guess I can rest easy now knowing that crow was just "sunbathing"!😎
Pepe obviously remembers you and your husband and Xena because you are his family. I am so impressed at the way you raised him and gave him such a good life! He can be free to just be himself and that's the best thing anyone, human or animal, can possibly hope to be!
This is such a cool story. The humans did a great job of trying to find Pepe's parents and then did a GREAT job of raising him. The balance they created by letting him be wild, but he still chooses to spend time with them, is so amazing. Crows are such intelligent animals! Really glad to hear he is wary of strangers! ❤️
I had a baby crow we rescued when I was a teenager. We called him helper because he had to help with everything. He live outside and had several friend in the neighborhood. One day he disappeared on the same day one of his neighbor friends moved. I was very sad as I think he saw himself as part of our family. Never wanted him to have to stay with us. I wanted him to have his own life. Maybe he did.
@@StarFrost64 It won't, even cats who are much more spoiled than crows can live independently, and not to mention that they're one of the smartest birds so maybe adapting to any environment is never difficult for them.
0:21 I once saw a bird doing this and he looked like he was hurt or dead. I approached him and all of a sudden he jumped up and screeched at me. Gave me a goddamn heartattack
I'm in a very poor mood as things haven't gone well today but, I look at this clip and start to feel good again at the love and kindness these two beautiful human beings share with their little pal here. I love to see this kind of story and wish everyone felt like I do that animals are truly a gift from God, to teach us to be better human beings. Bless the whole family including the beautiful pup and his great pal Pepe. I just wouldn't think this was even possible.
Bless you for taking such good care of such an amazing and funny bird. Growing up, we "raised" a crow chick back to life after it fell down a chimney, and it landed on me years later in a shop just to say hi. I missed that bird, but I'm happy to know it grew up to be independent. 😊
Amazing! Crows are some of the smartest species. My dad and his brother had a rescue jackdaw (a member of the crow family) as kids, and it was incredibly smart. Even after its wing had healed and they released it into the wild, the bird often visited them for snacks :)
I really love that you told the people:" Don't put a wild animal in cages!" Too many people out there do this with owls, caracal, lynx a. s.o. only because they find them cute. But they are loving feeling creatures and love their freedom and independence!!
Had a wild crow companion for a few years . Same interactions. Named him Bob and his wife Doris. Unfortunately two other crows worked out Bob and Doris were getting free food and they attacked and took over the territory. I’ve never fed the new crows, but they’re still hanging around. Bob started mimicking me and saying’Hello’. He used to rub up to his wife while saying’Hello’ to her. I used to get the ‘presents’too. Usually regurgitated berries at my doorstep. They’re smart , affectionate and also demanding. They never forget a face. I’d be careful allowing him on your head because of mites. Great video.
What an awesome bond they all have. Crows are so amazing. I love their symbiotic relationships with all kinds of animals they can pick ticks off, and eat the ticks for those animals.
Amazing. I've never seen a crow sun bathe. I thought he was playing dead at first. I'm glad that people realize that animals are more than just animalistic instincts. Even the lesser intelligent ones are quite clever in their own way. It's always incredible to see how smart they are.
What a great story! I’m so happy she let him become independent on his terms and be free. She did a great job researching how to raise him. It’s awesome that he loves them enough to visit even with his new crew
Omg, I'm tearing up, it's like watching a mirror of my story with my pet starling, Even down to the silly sun bathing faces, lol! What a beautiful bond.
I love how smart crows are, especially when they trust someone - they'll actually pass that info on to other crows (especially family) about good humans so they know who is/isn't a threat

They hold grudges too so don't pick on them lol fr tho
I'm actually not surprised he managed to bond with the dog, flocks of ravens (another bird in the Corvus family closely related to crows) in the wild will often bond with packs of dogs. The ravens help search for prey from the air and lead the wolves to it, in exchange the wolves tenderize the flesh of the prey for the ravens to share with them.
And it's not solely business too, because ravens will play with wolf pups. If they stopped hunting today, they'd likely still hang around each other.
This has been going on long enough that it's thought to be the influence behind Odin's depiction as traveling with a pair of wolves and ravens.
So as odd as this thing may seem, it's likely not the first time this has happened. Having a crow and a dog is also the closest you might come to being a god.

th-cam.com/video/oa5OaunvLGg/w-d-xo.html
@@carpetclimber4027 Actually, there are several examples of human-animal symbiosis, historically and in modern times.
The most obvious one is dogs, of course. They were hanging out with our ancestors long before we ever figured out animal husbandry. There is also a kind of bird called a honeyguide, of which there are several types living throughout africa and asia. They'll actually lead people to honey bee nests, and the human honey hunter will naturally leave bits of comb, honey, and larva behind for the bird to feast on. Experienced honey hunter actually know a call that will attract honeyguides to help them out- it's actually pretty cool to watch. These are just two I can think of off the top of my head, but I'd bet real money there are more.
Of course- animals coming into conflict with other animals is nothing new either- just as humans coming into conflict with animals isn't.
Thing is, that kind of Symbiosis take a long time to evolve naturally. Humans aren't just the new kid on the block, we're far and away from the region and biome our species developed in (which is believed to be the fertile crescent around Africa. Very few people live there now.)
Man that's amazing 😁 such a cool animal both dogs and ravens ❤️
@@carpetclimber4027 dont worry,they capitalize on that one too. crows would recognize and follow armies around,hoping people would kill each other so they could catch a few snacks. hence why they are considered a bad omen
We had a crow when I was a kid! He fell out of the nest into our garden and sadly the parents abandoned him. Once he was old enough to go back into the wild he did so, but returned almost every day to spend time with us. He even began imitating our voices like a parrot would. He also knew exactly who was part of the family and who wasn't. They are scary smart.
Yes they are. Thank you
They are on the top 10 (if im not mistaken) of the chart of smartness among animals. Who knows how much time will take to evolution make them even smarter
Im pretty sure thier the smartest birds

He imprinted on you because he was so young and most likely see’s you as his parents or siblings. We had a Crow show up on my doorstep with a broken wing, he was actually crowing and pecking the door to get our attention to help. We nursed him back to health and even taught him how to mimic some human words. We released him after about 5 or 6 months but he would still visit us every day for scratches and pets. They’re incredibly intelligent sentient beings.
He was too old to imprint, so he didn’t imprint on her.

You're so fortunate that Pepe took up with other crows when he started flying. My crow was just learning, when a hawk killed her. She just didn't know, and there were no other crows to teach her. Ironically, a hawk had dropped her in our yard as a tiny baby, and that's how we came to have her. Smartest bird I was ever around. I miss her every day, and it's been 16 years since I lost her.
In comparison they're so smart I wish our President was a crow.

I've been feeding a 6 or 7 generation murder of crows every day for many, many years now. Still waiting for the little shits to bring me a "crow gift," lol. But they help chase off the hawks, owls and foxes that hunt my rescue squirrels, so that's truly the best gift they can give me. Love this video!

How do you befriend a crow. All the birds come to our yard with the exception of crows. Once in a blue moon (mostly winter) they stop by and watch from above. I put food (compost, seeds, bird food) and water. Othertimes they get chased by grackles. Mostly it happens in the spring and summer months.

This was in 1967. I was 7 yrs old
My great uncle found an abandoned
baby crow. I think it was actually a
Raven. He hand raised it. It could
talk and answer to its name, Jacko
He grew into this beautiful shiney
jet black majestic bird.
But some really bad boys in our area
were afraid of it and ended up killing Jacko with sling shots. My uncle was devastated, never forgot the bird and mourned it for the remainder of his life. I'm 62 and I still remember seeing them together.
The love and trust they had for each other. It's like it was yesterday.
Such beautiful and clever birds
THAT IS SO UPSETTING !
This breaks my heart.

One of my first memories as a child was my mother telling me that my grandfather found a crow with an injured wing on his farm in Austria and repaired it with a splint. The crow knew he was being taken care of.
To this day, I feel a connection with crows.

Its hard to be accepted by a wild crow and they have done great keeping Pepe wild. Pretty cool that he comes and shows them off to his other wild crow friends. Hope they never have to move and lose their connection to Pepe.
Im a grown ass dude and I'd cry real bad if that ever happens... I love their interactions I cant see them separated . I cannot
Wouldn't Pepe locate them somehow? Maybe expose Pepe to a certain scent they wear or something?
well it was also young which means it likely imprinted more easily onto the human caretakers.
I strongly agree
The difficulty is in knowing which crow in a group of crows is the one
that you are trying to maintain a one-to-one relationship with. It is a lot easier with single crows or couples.
So this crow is both functioning with a human family and interacting with the crow people. Fascinating.
He's truly an ambassador, what a wonderful gentleman.
This lady is an incredible trainer. She knew how to help the crow without making him dependent on her.
She also knew how to train her dog very well to make him accept the crow and not scare him.
She immediately said to her "no barking" when the crow was nearby.
This woman is like an animal whisperer

Crows are intelligent birds and they have excellent memory. They behave like humans, attending to the funeral and even judge other crows. And they remember who treat them bad, too.
So why do they always attack me if they're so smart? Never did anything to them...
@@infozone9601 maybe you are guilty by association or another human hurt them an they don't trust any humans anymore.
At a Starbuck's near us we've often seen a crow use the large fountain there to separate edibles from inedibles in the same way exhibited by some primates: The crow drops its findings into the fountain basin and retrieves the edibles (ex: seeds, insects) that float.
They are also known for visiting their parents!
@@infozone9601 because you think they are stupid, so they want to beat your aas
Imagine if more and more crows start interacting with humans if people don't hurt them just like when dolphins and sting rays come to humans out of curiosity. I would totally have fun interacting with them!

It's the kind of bond you only get from raising it from a young age or bringing it back to health.

@@chriswelcome8102 plus crows are just super chill birds. Have a ton where I live and they don't really mind you, sometimes they "talk" with you, listening to what you say and cawing in response. They're so cute. Plus what you said about animals is totally true!! You can get a bond with an animal at any age, but when you raise one from a baby it's just so.. special. We got my brother's dog when she was 6 weeks old, and she loves each and every one of us, I've just never seen such a friendly dog. She lays on her back a lot and exposes her belly with is the sign of ultimate trust :)
Bring food and they will slowly start trusting you. It takes time and patience but they are very smart animals. And very curious. I've had a couple of crows visit me every day on my breaks at work. They just came and sit next to me and chill for a bit. I gave them food offcourse.

My mom rescued a crow when I was young. She nursed it back to health and he loved everyone in the family including the dogs. The dogs tolerated the crow., he would ride on their backs. He came to the window and knocked with his beak when he wanted in and we just opened the window and let him in. Left the window open so he could leave. He usually stayed for hours. I'll always remember Mr. Crow!
What a lovely story 💝
This so warmed my heart. Most people don't realize how smart and compassionate birds can be. And I love your narration of the story of Pepe. In heaven, the lion lies down with the lamb.

In the wild, crows and wolves often hang out together, and Xena basically looks like a giant wolf!
They do? Never heard that before! That’s cool!
More chance of good food. Scavenger and carnivore ❤ together
Well thing is wolves are already giant.
They take out the ticks, fleas, etc from the wolves.
Wolves do not have fleas, maybe that is why lol.
I am so very happy that he doesn't trust strangers and that he only trusts his family . Crows are very incredibly smart and this will help him with survival
Cant believe no one reconside you for 8 months
tbh its more likely that the crow sees their guardian as a mate - you can see the crow wiggling its tail and the human touching the bird WAY down its head, which is sexually stimulating and not petting really. you must trust your mate since crows mate for life and raise children each year
I've never seen such an affectionate crow. It's very sweet that the crow comes back to see the people who raised him.
Crows and Ravens are very Social Birds--and by Definition, very affectionate with each other and Humans(under conditions as here) they even are known to be 'Kind' to other Juveniles that get 'Rebuffed' by a Female when looking for a mate--Social, Affectionate and Intelligent. I raised and kept a crow for a Pet in High School. They are very , very intelligent as lady states. Enjoyed all the comments of people who have raised and released them back to Wild and have kept that bond nutured over yrs after release. Very enjoyable to view Video and read comments.
1:58 I’m crying looking at this little baby… my Nanny (great grandmother) nursed a crow back to health in the 70’s. She says he visited her for the rest of his life and came to her at the end, you may have just made a forever friend :)
I hope they never move.
Great human beings. I love when Xena barked a little at Pepe, the mom calmly said 'no barking' while patting her gently. No wonder Xena is so chilled and Pepe trusts them
4:06:
Crow 1: Did he just get invited for lunch by humans?
Crow 2: Nah, maybe we're just doing too much crack
Even though indistinct to human ears, all birds have their own unique call, and crows are known to remember people.
Pepe here definitely recognizes you by your voice calling his name, and knows your mannerisms, letting him feel safe around you.
Crows can stay with their parents for up to two years or longer. Sometimes crows help raise the new babies as well. They are a very sophisticated family/flock network compared with most other birds who leave the parent(s) very soon after fledging
I am friend with a pair of crows since many years and they seem to feed and teach their children till about middle of August. After that the parents are alone again. I have often wondered where they take their children and leave them for good. They don't allow any other crows into their territory.
@@katzy43 Oh, that's interesting. So they're only ever a pair, and never form a flock! Unusual?
i was just wondering “isnt that a normal fledgling?” but then when they talked about the parents NEVER comming around i knew somthing was wrong
I’ve raised three crows at different stages of my life. The first in the sixth grade with my mom and the most recent one (actually a Jackdaw) with my wife. The second one didn’t make it-it’s a dangerous world; it’s important that they learn how to avoid these dangers the best they can. The other two presumably are living full and happy lives in the wild. We took them through a rehabilitation process. I’ll always love these birds.
Thanks for sharing!
I have a Jackdaw
She's a power animal
So beautiful! I love that they managed to raise him so he could be a wild bird. I also love it that he still visits them! I would love to befriend a crow. I love birds so much!
And it is a total natural behaviour to him because corvids are known to visit their parents after adulthood!!
So would I.
I have always, always wanted to be befriended by a Crow. Amazing, intelligent birds!
You gave him a life. The planet needs more people like you.....
This crow will surely die as soon as they aren’t it’s Main food source anymore
You should get him some crow puzzles. They love to solve them for treats.
THAT is true !! That's why they have stinky breath!
UNIQUE FOR SURE ! ☯️
I love the little noise they make when as they’re crying for food, they suddenly get it. It’s like a happy little mumble. 😂
Moral of the story......
When a wild animal is in need, and you can do something to help save that animal,
do so and your reward will be long lived, with an experience very few get to enjoy.
This women is incredibly lucky to have a great friendship with such a wonderful crow.....
Crows and Ravens are the coolest birds ever. I like to feed my neighborhood crows peanuts. They’re great.
Its very beautiful when people take the time to understand animals and cross the species limitations and mental blocks. These folks have done that. What a great gift to have the respect and trust of a wild bird which views you as family. Thank you for your most excellent care of this baby crow. I've done a lot of rescue rehab of animals, birds, reptiles, and even boa constrictors know when someone cares for them. Its a beautiful thing to communicate without spoken language, but just an energy they feel. Bravo on an excellent job!
@@ladysuda3807 This is another name for the Ball Python, or Python Regius. They are very gentle and make good pets for the reptile specialist owners. Adorable guys and good natured, not as temperamental as the much larger Suriname Redtail Boas I had. I adore those boas but they require specialty care and are not easy due to size. A mature ball python can still be carried around. Great job on your rescue!
@@mjremy2605 Thank you! I’m British and Royal Python is what we name them here. I still say Ball Python sometimes though. Yes they are very gentle and docile animals and my girl is so pretty and she is grateful to be safe now. Her previous owners starved her. Now she has exercise, food, a lovely enclosure and she goes to the park when the weather is nice. She has what looks like a burn or a rat bite on her lower body.. In Britain it’s illegal to feed live so I’m not sure what happened.
I do think that Boas are gorgeous too but I think that they grow that big and I don’t have the room. I do have corn snakes though and Scorpions and tarantulas and hissers and cats.
I’m glad that my Python is in my life. 💖💛❤️🔥

And he will tell to his children and friends about everything.

I rescued a very small crow that had fallen 20 feet from its nest we put him in a Macaw cage outside and after treating for a serious mite infestation and nursing him back to health I named him crowbar because he would take his beak and push my hand up to put his head under my palm after about 3 months he saw a flock flying over and flew off but he came back every couple of days to visit and get some jumbo meal worms.He would come back less frequently over about two years but I'll never forget my buddy crowbar most interesting intelligent bird I ever rescued, if people only knew the truth about them they wouldn't have such a bad stigma. Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks for sharing
6:51 - the cutest section where the crow sunbathes like a Greek tragedy death. You're welcome
The part where he just looked at you while you were petting him was GOLD. The affection is visible in his eyes. i truly love this. i used to have a few pet birds and my favorite one was a Yellow-vented Bulbul. i raised it before it even hatched out of its nest until it died 5 years later. I loved that bird to bits. IMO, birds are the most beautiful animal on the planet. Hands down.
sorry but imagine someone who feeds you also "pets" you around the nipples all the time, ofc there's gonna be hella affection in your eyes. the tail wiggle an obvious indication of a mating behavior, which all birds express, and birds in captivity get sexually frustrated with no same-species mates around and hormones kicking, and now there's a human constantly stimulating. pet bird owners usually know they shouldn't touch their birds anything but head. getting hormonal without action may lead to all sorts of problems, given captive bird (even if rescued) is already in pretty unconventional conditions. i love corvids too, both for their looks and intelligence, but anthropomorphism is an easy trap to fall into. animals are much more unique and interesting than watered down versions of humans (;
Aww my heart🖤 This reminds me over a baby crow I saved years and years ago! His name was Arrow. He had a sibling, Bow, but Bow sadly passed away. I rehabilitated Arrow and when he got strong enough, he flew away. It broke my heart when I went to check on him that day and he wasn't there. But to my surprise, later that day, I heard a tapping noise at my bedroom window...it was him! I was thrilled! He'd come hang out with me nearly every day for 7 years! He'd perch on my shoulder and nuzzle my neck hehe🥰 Such an awesome bird. I miss him dearly. When he stopped showing up, I assumed he had passed away. I'll never forget him🖤 RIP Arrow💗
Pepe is just chilling with his peeps. That bit when they are walking the dog and he flies over and lands and starts walking along with them 😀
The used mascara wand gift was cool! He thought this is a human thing-e for a girl so surly she will love it! When you think about it, it is actually quite brilliant because he must have seen a human female using one and figured it would make a great gift. What an amazing bird and a wonderful human family who took him in!
Cheers
all that's left is to teach him that what humans actually really like is money
Unlikely he thought about her being a female in regards to the gift. In fact I'd be money it has absolutely nothing to do with it. I do agree that he recognized it as a human item and thought it would make a good gift for his human.
@@dakota9821
You may be right, however; I had an African Grey growing up named Bird and I can assure you he absolutely could tell the difference between a male and female human being. He didn’t like most men, only allowing my stepfather to handle him. He was aggressive towards males, even male children like my little brother, but anytime a female walked in the room Bird would whistle at them 😱 sometimes he would even say “pretty girl” after he whistled. So, I believe crows and black birds are just as intelligent as Bird was and able to tell the difference between male and female humans 🤔

I remember when I was about 9 or 10 me and my friend were hanging out, and we kept hearing a cawing sound in the woods. We went to it and found a crow stuck in a bush. He had small tree limbs that punctured some of his wings and he couldn't get out. So we carefully approached him and he sat there and watched us and let us remove the branches from his wings and he let us pet him. Then he flew off. Awesome experience and it makes more sense knowing how intelligent crows are.
My uncle found a small crow. We called him Bobby. He had stunning blue eyes and never fully lost them. They became more gray-ish but never black like on most crows. He stayed with uncle for around a year and a few months. He would perch on his shoulder and groom him, they tried to give him to a rescue but he wouldn't eat and would try to escape, so they took him back. Eventually he flew off on his own and never came. Last time we saw him was with a flock of pigeons, we are sure it was him because of the eyes and that he turned to look at us when he called him.
My dad fed the crows whenever there was left over chunks of meat/gristle. He would walk outside, call them, and they'd come by the dozen. They knew him very well.
Extremely smart animals.
The gas station I work at has 2 crows that visit every morning around 7am waiting for me to give them some food. They will wait on opposite ends of the lot and call out when they see me walk outside. After a year they started bringing me trash (I pick up a lot of trash), because they think that's what I like lol. They know my schedule too! So when my schedule randomly changes a day they aren't there waiting for me. If I'm off work or sick they are extra vocal when I'm back. They still don't entirely trust me and keep 10 feet away usually.
Very smart attempt with the recording and helping maybe parents locate the baby. The baby version of the crow as a pudgy little crow is so cute! 1:53
Haha "You won't believe that Pepe has human pets" 🤣 Great story and so thankful for people who care for animals!
That is so cute. Crows are very smart. That was hilarious when he was going for a walk with the dog
Pepe's so fortunate to live with his humans yet still be wild. And I love the friendship with Zena. Who are the pets here?😅 Once as I was walking my dog, I came upon a crow wings spread on the grass near the sidewalk. Since I thought he was injured, I called a wildlife rescue, but when I returned later, he was gone. So I guess I can rest easy now knowing that crow was just "sunbathing"!😎
Literally one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.
Pepe obviously remembers you and your husband and Xena because you are his family. I am so impressed at the way you raised him and gave him such a good life! He can be free to just be himself and that's the best thing anyone, human or animal, can possibly hope to be!
This is such a cool story. The humans did a great job of trying to find Pepe's parents and then did a GREAT job of raising him. The balance they created by letting him be wild, but he still chooses to spend time with them, is so amazing. Crows are such intelligent animals! Really glad to hear he is wary of strangers! ❤️
What an incredibly wise and compassionate woman. Her husband is no slouch either!
Thank you so much for being kind.
I agree that crows are one of a kind. Amazing and pure joy. Bless this little guy he made it happily.
I'm grateful for people managing to strike the balance of both friendship and rehabilitation into wilderness.
I had a baby crow we rescued when I was a teenager. We called him helper because he had to help with everything. He live outside and had several friend in the neighborhood. One day he disappeared on the same day one of his neighbor friends moved. I was very sad as I think he saw himself as part of our family. Never wanted him to have to stay with us. I wanted him to have his own life. Maybe he did.
@@StarFrost64 It won't, even cats who are much more spoiled than crows can live independently, and not to mention that they're one of the smartest birds so maybe adapting to any environment is never difficult for them.

Bless you for taking such good care of such an amazing and funny bird. Growing up, we "raised" a crow chick back to life after it fell down a chimney, and it landed on me years later in a shop just to say hi. I missed that bird, but I'm happy to know it grew up to be independent. 😊

Amazing! Crows are some of the smartest species. My dad and his brother had a rescue jackdaw (a member of the crow family) as kids, and it was incredibly smart. Even after its wing had healed and they released it into the wild, the bird often visited them for snacks :)
Thats great
The crow is playing tug-of-war with a German Sheppard... I liked that.
One of the best animal videos I've ever seen. You madam, are EXTREMELY observant. This is a remarkable attribute. I praise you for it.
My Grandma had a wild crow friend for years. Same deal, she helped it when it was hurt and let it stay on her porch.
I really love that you told the people:" Don't put a wild animal in cages!" Too many people out there do this with owls, caracal, lynx a. s.o. only because they find them cute. But they are loving feeling creatures and love their freedom and independence!!
Like how people are not supposed to cage wild animals
Had a wild crow companion for a few years . Same interactions. Named him Bob and his wife Doris. Unfortunately two other crows worked out Bob and Doris were getting free food and they attacked and took over the territory.
I’ve never fed the new crows, but they’re still hanging around.
Bob started mimicking me and saying’Hello’. He used to rub up to his wife while saying’Hello’ to her. I used to get the ‘presents’too. Usually regurgitated berries at my doorstep.
They’re smart , affectionate and also demanding. They never forget a face.
I’d be careful allowing him on your head because of mites.
Great video.
This is sooooo cute. Thx you for letting him be free to come and go.
What an awesome bond they all have. Crows are so amazing. I love their symbiotic relationships with all kinds of animals they can pick ticks off, and eat the ticks for those animals.
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN THIS WORLD! GOD BLESS YOU!
Aww, the sounds he makes as he's cuddling ❤
When Pepe is looking up at you while petting him 😭💜💜 Watching him blink and just looking at those eyes that say "I trust you, thank you"..
This is too precious! I am actually jealous that she has a pet crow. I love these stories.❤️
This is fantastic. What a great way to co-exist with nature and learn about animal behavior at the same time. God bless Pepe and his friends.
I once had a pet raven and I have to say, it was an experience i'll never forget, thank you for sharing Pepe with us.
Amazing. I've never seen a crow sun bathe. I thought he was playing dead at first. I'm glad that people realize that animals are more than just animalistic instincts. Even the lesser intelligent ones are quite clever in their own way. It's always incredible to see how smart they are.
What a great story!
I’m so happy she let him become independent on his terms and be free. She did a great job researching how to raise him. It’s awesome that he loves them enough to visit even with his new crew
Omg, I'm tearing up, it's like watching a mirror of my story with my pet starling,
Even down to the silly sun bathing faces, lol! What a beautiful bond.
