Climate change is our fault after all.
thelonepig
I live in the desert here and that's nice weather. It's about 48.9°C lately according to my car. Also, Europeans, I love you so much but please think twice about coming to the desert in summer. It's incomprehensibly hot and tourists die every single year. Between the heat and the monsoons, you have to be much more careful than you're probably thinking.
Kbantar
Safe for most healthy heat loving people when DRY. It very much is not nice or even safe when very humid.

Put it in freedom units.

Crow will remember this.
ImNotActuallyEvilAfterAll
Lies! The US does not have temperatures in reasonable units!
unluckyandbored
For the Americans, that's about 100F.

That crow will remember his deeds
robnorrisradio
For those of us who can't translate that into Freedom Units: 38°C = 101°F

I love when animals are smart enough to realize that yes, we are big. But most of us are willing to help if asked.

Some day that man will be in trouble, and out of nowhere a murder of crows will arrive from the desert to save him in his moment of need.

That'll be one shiny, please.

This looks like the Devil’s Garden trailhead in Arches national park, UT. I was there just a couple weeks ago and yeah: hot as hell and tons of corvids at the water fountains.

It's got Garden of the Gods vibes (Colorado Springs, CO) but I can't place the spot on Google Maps.

Whoa, was not expecting hearing Polish. Quite funny (rough translation): "Look how hot birds are. Drink young one. But.. you know.. I want to drink too, so make it quick, pal"
chatterer
This was a bit more difficult to peg as Polish since it was missing the "kurwa"
ZiomalZParafii
Not everyone here uses it instead of comma ;-)
Whitebeardthepirate

I leave dog bowls (or similar vessels) under public water taps here in Australia, kinda for dogs, but moreso for birds during the hot weather.
alexpatt665
why tho? the dogs here just drink from the same faucet as do the humies... not at the same time
Emjayen
Well although they can, it's obviously easier for a dog to drink from a bowl rather than capturing it from the tap; it's also more convenient in parks so they always access water without requiring their owner to operate the tap. As said though, this also means there's a reasonably reliable fresh water souce birds (and other creatures) can access, particularly during the hotter weather which is notorious for causing heatstroke in animals, resulting in many thousands of birds in particular dying.
MetaVulture
Hark the crow, gimme mo'
OutboardOverlord
Good human.
Filanwizard
Can tell the intelligence of the corvid, Bird knew the button made the water come out, just cannot push it on its own. location is probably something like Death Valley, still morning if only 38c.
Kbantar
Two days ago here in South Dakota the feels like temp hit 121 fucking degrees. Walking outside felt like getting wrapped in a damp blanket straight from the oven.
IlluminaBlade
I feel like that's a pretty normal temperature for the landscape I'm seeing.
theskepticinme
It is. Still really dry though. The fun part is when it gets really hot and the cold water comes out hotter than the hot because the lines aren’t buried very deep
UnattendedDeviant
Man I'd love the chance to make friends with a corvid. Ngl, I would try snack for paper money thing I've seen here before. Probably even be ok with quarters.
WhenWillThenBeNowSoon
I’ve got one at work that I sneak our duck food to. I’m hoping we become friends.
TheDildoOfConsequences
A friend of mine has been making friends with his local crows for four generations now by putting out peanuts for them while walking with his dog.
Vectron
I've been watching my neighbour hood crow family teach their fledglings how to eat shelled peanuts this summer. Quite entertaining 🥜
toogoodtomiss
My husband just started doing this!
TheDildoOfConsequences
This makes your husband a good person, which will be just as well when he arises to subjugate us all beneath the wings of his dark army.
Canigetbannedagain2
Sadly illegal to own, but legal to make friends with.
buttcreambandit
Good thing you can’t own living things anyways
Canigetbannedagain2
Could one say... You own yourself? Or is that weird.
welcometothedystopia
It kind of sounds like autonomy, both body and mind, I guess entire self autonomy? IDK if it's weird but I like it
Minterfresh
I'm not owned. I'm perfectly calm.
yesdearmetoo
I would guarantee that Crow knew how to get the fountain to work. It just couldn't.
Jaqdakloun
Yeah, it actually pointed at the button
chatterer
I tend to agree, it seems to be pointing towards the button. Birds in the crow families are smart, observant and good at puzzle solving.
Kbantar
Better than a not insignificant percentage of humans. Not joking. I've seen how quickly some corvids solve problems that I would struggle with.
Subtilico
There should be a button there that requires less force to push.
DePhyler
A bird button.
HalloIamherenow
But that button is for the birds!

Just in case: this is a crow. Ravens are bigger than people think
TrumpRapesAndEatsChildren0002
"...and the evening had been going so well..."
thisistheusernamethatneverendss
This is a raven. In the deserts of western USA there are common ravens and chihuahuan ravens but not crows.
Tesaphine
Good rule of thumb is;
"Is that a raven?" = crow
"HOLY SHIT that is a HUGE badass crow!" = raven
BioFlayerMedia
Ravens got lil beards, unlike crows aswell
DasBeaker
Uhxohr
Some species of ravens are the same size than common crows. This one is a raven, the thick beak shape and that sound especially -> raven.
Mairoa
Yep I have crows near me about the size of ravens and have to use their calls, lack of beard, and beak shape to know they're crows
Cranbananarama
Crow lands on your hand, Raven lands on your shoulder. Crow caws for food, Raven says "Give me food." And you do so in fear and concern.
fuguri
Ape and Monkey, Butterfly and Moth, Alligator and Crocodile, Turtle and Tortoise, Wasp and Hornet…
DeviousWay
This is a Chihuahuan raven. They are approximately the same size as the common crow.
As someone else pointed out, you can tell by the bill.
Most Ravens have a large, curved bill while crows have a smaller, slimmer bill.
thricebakedxyz
I thought the bill looked like a Raven - thanks
sme2812
Thanks you - I stand corrected! But I can't edit my message anymore :-(
Aristocrats
I have it on pretty good authority that that is a chicken.

archon325
What if I think they're as big as skyscrapers? huh?
firlefranz
Ravens are bigger than people.
Think.
clankthegray
Ravens are huge 😳
TheDildoOfConsequences
True, although most people think small.
Utecr
The tip I've heard for remembering is: If you ask "Is that a crow or a raven?" it's probably a crow.
If you go "Holy shit look at the size of that bird!" it's probably a raven.
ID1746
From seeing a raven, that is correct!
CataclysmicFate
The saying around here is, "A Crow is a bird with a beak, but a Raven is a beak with a bird."
SalmonTheWise
If it says "Nevermore" it's a raven.

Some crows can talk a bit. I remember a story involving one in GB that spoke in a thick accent saying something akin to, "fuck off".
ronnyhugo
My dad jokes that there are only three species of birds; tweet tweets, quack quacks and eagles.

SirSchmoopyOfAwesometon
I like that joke, I am going to borrow it to annoy the kids!
Please tell your dad thank you from me!
somnif
Any idea what language the fellow is speaking? (the camera holder, not the bird)
kadac00
CAW!
sme2812
Polish
Gadhrach
The bird is speaking Cawish.
Gandzialfman
Polish,
"O, look, how hot it is for the birds"
"drink, drink young fellow"
"but you know... I also want to drink so be brief dude"
I don't understand what crow is saying though
br0da
Probably something like "oh, thank you, big one"
ignotoCiResto
prolly something along the lines of "could you open the water, please? oh gods, thank you bro! I was about to die from thrist!"
secondgoaround
You don’t speak Crowation?

Gandzialfman
I know Mallard quite well (it's just few signals) and a bit of Great/Blue Tit language, but Corvid languages are too complex for me and I don't know any of them personally.
and I'm not joking

secondgoaround
That’s a really interesting video. Thank you for sharing!
Gandzialfman
majority of mallard communication is non verbal, and a flock tends to operate like a single entity, where you can see activation function rising, and then somehow they all know what to do (they do operate in cycles so maybe it's just proceed to next step in some way/ break for obvious alarm)
