If you call them, they'll come – calling ravens

Calling ravens. Black smart birds can be lured with imitating voice... try it!

[brennanwang]

The call you made in the video is very similar to their “food” calls, which is call they make when they spot food. And that’s probably the reason they are interested.

They probably flocked to you thinking that you were a raven that found a meal. That's part of their behavior, adult ravens will locate a kill large enough to share and call for the younger ones to come and eat. Kinda like calling your friends and family over for a picnic at the park.

This might sound odd for some, but I personally think this is beautiful.

[lappeldelanature]

Aw, I thought one of them would actually land next to you with a glare like "wait a second, how can you do that ?"

[crysvicious]

They definitely will come if you call them. I have a pair of raven friends who come see me every day almost. For like 4 years their child is now a teenager and it brings its friends.
They've taught me to speak raven

My favorite bird!!
Beautiful creatures they are!!

Whenever I see one flying by I make that little clicking sound with my tongue that they commonly make, about five or six times, and it never fails to get them to circle back for a 2nd look and most of the time repeat the clicking call. Not sure what that series of clicks means but I did it with the pair by my house for years and kind of mastered it lol…I relate to this video hardcore.

That's quite amazing. So many of them too.

I did this same call and when they came I felt so powerful and cool

[kylebittner]

I saw a lonesome raven today and had to hear the call one more time. Thanks for this video.

Used to feed crows in my front yard. They would call until I fed them. Thanks for the vid.

Actually I'm not sure about the purpose of vocalisations in ravens but I know that in owls for example they do vocalize to defend their territory so basically if you imitate an owl or play a record of an owl and somehow an owl responds, it'd mean that she is stressed and she uses energy for nothing, so better to avoid. But I should check and see for ravens, it must be different.

I’ve done this to some ravens near me, always fun to have conversations with them

I've had these guys in my yard sometimes, but today I saw one going after an Osprey.

[feralcargirl]

I have 50 ravens in my yard every day. I love them so much. I want to befriend them. I can only make the clacking noise, but not the call you made, which was excellent btw!

[hridoygovindadas]

Playing this, a raven flew overhead in less than a minute

[shadowgun]

Him: Food over here y’all

Ravens: We don’t see it, we keep circling but don’t see it

Him: No right here

Ravens: You sit on a throne of lies…HOOMIN!!!!

And I’m pretty sure at the end of the video was a strong “FUCK….YOU!!!!”

This is super super helpful with a book i'm writing where Dracula was the first vampire but not the only.

[Ohsnapski]
