Two days ago, I was sitting in my back yard and heard a "hello." I didn't think much of it...thought it was one of my birds. This morning, I heard it again. My windows were closed so I knew it was not one of mine. I waited, heard it again so I said hello. I got another hello back. It came from a low branch in my tree. I looked up and saw a huge crow. I said hello again and watched the bird. Yup, I saw it say hello. We have a Wildlife Refuge about five miles from here. They had a talking crow for about 10 years but I know it passed away two years ago. I am going to call them when they open to see if they are missing one that I didn't know they had.

Grandma, you haven't been into the Peppermint Schnapps again, have you?

We have barking indian mynahs. Too cute to know crows do it also.

Wow I've never heard of that...amazing!

cant wait to hear update lololololol

Neat, I've never heard one talk in the wild. Wonder if it may have been in someone's home at one time. My daughter's MIL has a crow, it's a very good talker also.

No Nate, not Schnapps...Irish Cream.

I called the refuge and they said they have not had one that talked in at least four years. I called pet shops and vets to let them know just in case it is someones pet. It was with a flock so I doubt it.

Interesting! Wonder what he's up to? ha

it may have been one that had escaped from either a bird outlet or aviary months agooo.. or even a while a ago.. and has hooked up with a flock and still remembers that word.......

Better watch out, his Buddy might ring your door bell! lol..hope you dont have big shiny clean sliding glass doors! lol...sorry, could nt resist. I think I might be freaked out to hear a crow say Hi but needless to say, it would also be very cool!
