Tell me about the language(s) of the birds, /an/. Why do we know so little about the meaning of the different calls of birds and how can we better understand and comunicate with them?
>>5117461Crows and ravens "names" within their group. A unique call that's only used for that specific crow

>>5117461Look up Toshitaka Suzuki's work. The run down is that he studies Japanese tits (hehe) and found they exhibit compositional syntax and can combine sounds to rely different messages i.e. for warnings of danger of specific hazards
my black crows do this, any idea what it means ? https://files.catbox.moe/wpom2u.mp3

>>5119100Never heard this call myself, but it depends on context. Many crow calls are context-sensitive, especially more unusual ones. Often times the calls can be unique to a region, or even a specific family of crows.If this audio was captured recently, it could be a mating song. Could also be a baby crow making noises for fun and to test its voice.In my area, baby crows of the family that frequent my place make a "wub wub" sound when they're in their baby-talk stage. One of them did it well into adulthood to let me know it was him, because I would repeat the noise back at him when he was a baby and he liked it.
