Crows know familiar human voices

[Still Waters]

Crows recognise familiar human voices and the calls of familiar birds from other species, say researchers.

The ability could help the intelligent birds to thrive in urban environments; using vocal cues from their human and avian neighbours to find food or be alerted to potential threats.

The team used recordings of human voices and jackdaw calls to test the birds' responses.

Crows and Ravens are so cool--and smart. I always wondered why they were pinned as evil.
