i love to watch crows hop. hop! hophophop
nestlings love to hop. once they’ve got enough flight in them to follow the murder out of the nest, they’ll exuberantly hop and sprint everywhere they can. inevitably they fall over once or twice; it is very cute
older crows always seem more dignified. their cawing is more functional and less expressive, where a fledgling will throw down over just about anything, and a nestling will continue shouting “feed me!” even as its parent shoves food down its throat
really old crows develop a strained warble that is witchy as hell
@garbados I’m a big fan of the gurgly crow.
@garbados "Gimme your fries hophophop" ~ every crow in Seattle tbh
