Crow Calls
Crows make a wide variety of calls or vocalizations. Whether the
crows' system of communication constitutes a language is a topic of debate and study. Crows have also been observed to respond to
calls of other species; this behavior is presumably learned because it varies regionally. Crows' vocalizations are complex and poorly
understood. Some of the many vocalizations that crows make are a "caw", usually echoed back and forth between birds, a series of
"caws" in discrete units, counting out numbers, a long caw followed by a series of short caws (usually made when a bird takes off from a
perch), an echo-like "eh-aw" sound, and more. These vocalizations vary by species, and within each species vary regionally. In many
species, the pattern and number of the numerical vocalizations have been observed to change in response to events in the surroundings
(i.e. arrival or departure of crows). Crows can hear sound frequencies lower than those that humans can hear, which complicates the study of their vocalizations.
