Alexis has been working hard to become a city witch by befriending the neighborhood ravens. This made us curious about all of our corvid friends! So, we're starting the Corvid Compendium, where we take a deep dives into various corvids! We begin with the classic: Ravens! They're mysterious, smart, and full of some very fascinating mythology, some of which is still relevant today! Will London fall if the Tower of London ravens leave? Seems highly likely to us!

This episode begins with a rant. This rant, in particular, comes from Dan Engber - a science writer who loves animals but despises animal intelligence research. Dan told us that so much of the way we study animals involves tests that we think show a human is smart ... not the animals we intend to study. Dan's rant got us thinking: What is the smartest animal in the world? And if we threw out our human intelligence rubric, is there a fair way to figure it out?Obviously, there is. And it's a live game show, judged by Jad, Robert … and a dog.The last episode of G, our series on intelligence, was recorded as a live show back in May 2019 at the Greene Space in New York City and now we're sharing that game show with you, again. Two science writers, Dan Engber and Laurel Braitman, and two comedians, Tracy Clayton and Jordan Mendoza, compete against one another to find the world's smartest animal. They treated us to a series of funny, delightful stories about unexpectedly smart animals and helped us shift the way we think about intelligence across all the animals - including us.Special thanks to Bill Berloni and Macy (the dog) and everyone at The Greene Space.EPISODE CITATIONS:Podcasts:If you want to listen to more of the RADIOLAB G SERIES, CLICK HERE (https://radiolab.org/series/radiolab-presents-g). Videos:Check out the video of our live event here!

To find out if a crow can recognize an individual human face, Professor John Marzluff of the University of Washington wore a mask while trapping, banding, and then releasing seven American Crows on campus. Later, when he walked through the campus wearing the mask, it was automatic! A big group of birds scolded and divebombed him. He thinks it's a benefit to the birds' survival to point out and recognize challenges in their environment.

Halle Kiefer and Alison Leiby are obsessed with crows, and not simply because they both host the horror podcast Ruined. Horror buff Halle knows that crows feature prominently in the genre–and our nightmares–for a reason: they're crazy smart and are known to hold grudges. In fact, all birds in the Corvus family, like ravens and magpies, are intelligent. They even hold funerals when a fellow bird flies into the next realm.

Great-tailed Grackles live up to their name. The glossy black males trail their long, V-shaped tails behind them as they fly, almost like a plane towing a banner ad. And while not quite as flashy, the brown-feathered females have impressively long tails, too. Also known as the Mexican Grackle, this species lives in all sorts of habitats from the northern coasts of South America to the western U.S. Their ability to live in both cities and farmland has helped Great-tailed Grackles expand as far north as Iowa. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

In early February, I had the joy of talking with The Corvid Corner from TikTok. If you listened, then like me, you might've been blown away about the intelligence, loyalty and cleverness of crows.As I confessed in the opening minutes of that episode, I haven't always been a bird fan. In fact, I suffered my first panic attack inside an aviary at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo. I attribute it to too much Alfred Hitchcock as a kid, and not enough Mary Poppins. During the episode, I meant to share some of my early experiences with crows and how my love has grown, but a virus hijacked my brain, so this episode is a necessary supplement to the conversation.Soon after becoming a mother, my heart changed. I saw those winged creatures like my babies, as delightful parts of our community.

In this session of our Behavior Makeover Series, we work with a rehabilitated non-releasable raven that is showing a lot of avoidance behavior around his trainer. We create a behavior shaping plan using non-coercive negative reinforcement instead of counter conditioning or systematic desensitization to build the raven's trust. This works on all species, from parrots to eagles and mammals too. As always, follow your local and federal laws when working with native and exotic species and we do not condone rescuing wild birds without proper permits.

Full disclosure - I haven't always loved crows. It wasn't that many years ago when I walked into an aviary at Woodland Park Zoo and had a panic attack. Being shut into a confined space with birds flitting here and there called to mind Alfred Hitchcock's classic, The Birds. I had to step outside and collect myself on a stone bench. Later though, when I became a mother, I saw birds through the eyes of my children. We set up fairy houses in the yard and watched for hummingbirds. My first trip to Alaska sealed the deal. Yeah, we have bald eagles in Seattle. They sometimes circle in the skies overhead, but that's NOTHING compared to what Homer, Alaska had in store. They linger on the spit feet away, perched three across on a driftwood log beside our firepit. They were glorious. It was after that trip that I began to take note of all our neighborhood birds. During a stretch of brittle winter weather, a duo of crows looked at me through the patio doors. They were hungry. I began to feed them and they cawed in thanks. They would hang back on the gate and watch as I brewed my morning coffee. They knew after feeding my cats and dog, I'd sprinkle something nutritious in the yard for them. They knew I was a crow lover, but, and maybe it was the bird dog growling behind me, they never fully trusted me. No matter. I was head over heels in love with crows. Soon two became three. Three became four. The word had gotten out that I had a soft spot for these remarkable, beautiful creatures. It was around that time when I heard an interview on NPR of two UW researchers that were studying crows. They told the story of a woman who fed them for years and the crows, in turn, left her tiny treasures, like a I LIKE IKE pin. I wanted my crows to bring me something, too, so I upped the quality of my offerings. My love affair with crows continues to this day. I found a kindred spirit on TikTok, The Corvid Corner. She not only feeds crows, she rescues them, and goes so far as to make her own suet cakes for these glorious birds. Bear with my scratchy voice as I struggled with the flu during this interesting conversation with my new friend across the pond. We talk candidly about the birds that have stolen our hearts.Please give her a follow on TikTok and watch her incredible, uplifting, and often informative videos there.

Crows are found on every continent except South America and Antarctica. And while there are a lot of similarities, there are a lot of differences, too. Imagine a powder-gray crow with a pink beak. There's one thing they have in common, though: they're all smart.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Clark's Nutcracker is a clever corvid that has a special relationship with a tree called the whitebark pine. The tree's cones don't open on their own, and Clark's Nutcracker is one of the few species that can pry them open. When the nutcrackers cache the seeds for the winter, they'll leave a few behind, helping spread the next generation of whitebark pines. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Of all the birds out there, the corvid family — the crows, ravens, and jays — might have the spookiest reputation. But this idea that corvids are spooky is far from universal — it's mainly in the Western world, as corvid researcher Kaeli Swift explains.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

For Halloween, corvid researcher Kaeli Swift joins Tenijah for a show-and-tell of spooky birds. Corvids, vultures, and owls all have reputations as ominous and foreboding — and today, we're digging into those ideas. Kaeli unpacks why the birds are seen as scary, shares cool facts beyond their mysterious façade, and explores conservation opportunities to help these birds. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

If we had to pick one bird's voice to symbolize our Eastern woodlands, the Blue Jay's voice would likely be it. And as a frequent visitor to back yards and bird feeders, the Blue Jay is among the most recognized birds of the region. Nearly a foot long, Blue Jays can be loud and assertive when they approach a bird feeder, pushing smaller songbirds aside. But when nesting, the same jays can sneak to and from their nests with uncanny secrecy.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Is that big black bird a crow or a raven? How can you tell? Ravens (seen right here) often travel in pairs, while crows (left) are seen in larger groups. Also, study the tail as the bird flies overhead. A crow's tail is shaped like a fan, while the raven's tail appears wedge-shaped or triangular. Another clue is to listen closely to the birds' calls. Crows give a cawing sound, but ravens produce a lower croaking sound.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

This is a story about a wood stork called Flinthead.  He lived with his partner in Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Florida.  The wood stork couple depended on the wetlands in Florida for not just their survival but also to bring up their babies.  This is a post-episode trailer of Episode 5 where I interviewed Dr. Jerry Jackson. Even though the audio isn't perfect, Episode 5 is worth listening to because he covers so much ground. Ecology, wood storks, wetlands, anhingas, and much more. Here I focus on one aspect of that episode: wood storks  

Corvids are known to be pretty clever birds, but did you know they're good at guessing weight as well?

RJ and Elle conclude their coverage of Augury by looking at research conducted on birds.  RJ establishes the intelligence of Corvids, and then discusses the sad relationship humans have with pigeons. He brings up the domestication of the pigeon, and messenger pigeons. He then discusses pigeons who are decorated war heros including Cher Ami and G.I. Joe who saved hundreds of lives by delivering intelligence during the world wars. RJ also discusses Project Pigeon, which was an attempt to train pigeons to be suicide bombers during world war 2. RJ concludes by looking at the future of homing pigeons, specifically the joke/not joke of IPoAC which is a theory that carrier pigeons would be faster and more efficient than the internet at delivering data. Elle does a reading for Jonathan at the Tracy Aviary. Specifically, the helmeted curassow from Venezuela imparts its wisdom.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mancy)
