As I pass through the cemetery on my dog walk there’s a couple of crows who often hang around in a certain corner.
In an attempt to befriend them, for the past year or so I’ve been making loud sort of crow noises and leaving a dog treat or two on the top of the same gravestone in the hope of them associating the strange human skwawks with a gift. A few days ago I nearly gave up bothering as it’d never worked but didn’t want to risk it
When awake, Zebra Finches sing a well-regulated line of staccato notes. But their sleeping song movements are fragmented, disjointed and sporadic—“rather like a dream,” Mindlin says. A dozing finch seems to silently practice a few “notes” and then add another, producing a pattern of muscle activity that reminds Mindlin “of learning a musical instrument.”
I have been feeding some crows for the last couple of years, and one of them started making this click-cooing sound about a year or so ago. I have caught it now a couple of times, and posted the videos. Has anyone ever heard crows (or ravens, I am still confused as to which is which) making this sound?
I grew up seeing these birds everywhere. But no matter how many people I ask, no one can tell me what type of bird it is. I’m guessing some type of finch?

Image description: A large channel billed cuckoo, high in a tree on an overcast day. The bird is staring straight down its beaks at the photographer, giving it a menacing appearance.
Image description: A great egret preening, whilst standing in a shallow stone lined brook. The egret has fluffy courting plumage on its tail and wings, and this plumage is fluffed out whilst the bird preens.
Image description: A juvenile galah on a branch in a tree with its wings spread wide. The photo is taken from almost directly below the bird and some of the birds body is covered by the branch it is standing on. The photo was taken on a bright sunny day
Image description: A sulphur-crested cockatoo sitting on top of a chain link fence, in front of a shaded, green leafy background. The cockatoo is featherless aside from two small yellow feathers on the top of its head, and some feathers on its wings.
I saw one when I visited Kangaroo Island in Australia (an island on the south side) and for a second I thought it wasn't real. They really are as blue as the picture.
