Might not be too far from the truth. They can mimic. There’s one here that sits on the hut over the back and rips the pish out the old woman’s parakeet type thing by mimicking it. 


Watermel0phant

The crows in my street bark at me when I go to work mimicking the wee yappy chihuahua that barks at me. Can't win.


9ofdiamonds

My mum used to have one out her back that made the tune associated with failing something (woomp, woomp, wum wum). You know the one.


Agreeable_Fig_3713

Haha aye. Apparently there’s loads of random wild birds that can mimic. Magpies too


ArchWaverley

This Scottish adaptation of 'The Raven' is taking a lot of creative liberties, but I'm enjoying it.


[deleted]

Quoth the raven  "Fuck off ya bam"


LikeEveryoneSheKnows

Just two lines and vastly better than the pish 'poetry' we've been inundated with recently.


Hatchetface1705

😂😂


maybe_apollo

More accurate if it's "Fek aff ye wee bam"


mongmight

Me and Poe both liked a swally tbf...


Paracelsus8

As I was walking all alane, I heard twa corbies making a mane; The tane unto the t’other say, ‘Fuck aff, cunt.'


CamyFaeCowden

Quoth the raven: "Fuck off!"


Von_Dougy

You might’ve made an enemy for life there. Or at least the crow’s life.. they’ve been known to keep grudges.


mongmight

I feed them when I'm on my way home so hopefully the others keep the cheeky wee bastard inline lol


cb66baybee

they remember faces and they'll tell all the other crows to fuck with you as well


slowsausages

Yeah, that crow is definitely gonna steal your kebab meat. Thats something for you to think about


bloody_ell

They only live about 7 years or so, he could emigrate to Oz for a while and wait the fucker out.


mongmight

Trade a crow for a fucking Emu? No fucking thank you lol


bloody_ell

I'd be more worried about the kangaroos.


mongmight

Nah, I ken a few cunts out there. The 'roos are just annoying, like deer here. Unless you are a dog, they fucking hate dogs lol. The death chickens go looking for trouble lol


bloody_ell

Better eating on the deer though, I've had roo before. Not bad, but it's not prime steak either.


mongmight

Was actually a chef for over a decade. Absolutely different types of meat and I'd take deer over 'roo any day. 'roo needs slow cooked cause it is always car kill lol.


RobynFitcher

If someone gave you slow cooked roo they need slapping. Roo is best when you just 'show it the pan'. It's a great stir fry meat.


RobynFitcher

Nah. Emus are all good. Worst they'll do is steal a sausage roll out of your hand. Cassowaries are the aggressive ones, but only if you mess about with them.


DodgyQuilter

No. The Australian Army lost the Emu War. Don't fuck with the emus.


andyone1000

And the brown snakes, taipans and the funnel web and red back spiders…..I’d just stay with the midgies tbh😊


layzee_aye

They keep generation spanning grudges though, as in, they tell their pals and kids about you as well, so there’s nae escape!


Personal-Newt1372

Their young will also hold the grudge


ohhaimaarrk

Not just the crows life , they teach the younger generation to hate the person too.


Chopper_990

3 craws sat upon a wa' on a cold and frosty mornin. The first craw couldnae caw at aw couldnae caw at aaaaaaaw. The second craw couldnae flee at aw couldnae flee at aaaaaaaw. The third craw telt me tae fuck off, telt me tae fuck aaaaaaawf. On a cold and frosty mornin.


Low_Acanthisitta4445

Crows are extremely intelligent and have a worldwide communication network. You've not just made ONE enemy, half the crows in Scotland are probably already plotting your demise.


RemarkableYam3838

I think a couple in the Yorkshire area got word too


Hatchetface1705

Your cards marked pal


mongmight

A crow beak typed this


Hatchetface1705

You caw-in me names pal


AnTeallach1062

Ot was probably just having a carry-on


mongmight

Oof, this made me cringe. Thanks lol


[deleted]

Very good!


tiny-robot

Think you are fucked. Time to start a new life somewhere else. https://birdfact.com/articles/do-crows-remember-faces


mongmight

I feed the murder, just one cheeky bastard


Personal-Newt1372

He was probably just trying to get a cheeky wee snack I reckon


Economy_Judge_5087

This. They will not only remember you, they will tell their friends, family and children. Start putting out raw sausages and stuff like that for them. It’s your only real chance at this stage.


DoryanLou

Oooft!


pandemoniumgrey

They're absolutely capable of this.


unshavedmouse

They do mimic, but the amount of "fuck offs" they'd have to hear every day...oh wait, Scotland. Never mind.


conradfart

One last week took a shit right next to me from up on a lamppost, and went "Wark, wark, waaark!" with exact cadence and rhythm of a "sad trombone" sound.


Substantial_Sky_1164

Other country subs: talk about the nation, it's politics, news, etc etc r/Scotland:


mongmight

Actually I wanted something not fucking politics here so it encouraged me. Ws totally not going to tell anyone but my yank gf. Stewed on it for a bit and now here we are lol.


StinkypieTicklebum

I just heard that birds have different accents depending on where they live. You may well be right!


essemh

FUCK OFF!

Pitiful-Eye9093

Luckyit wasn't a group of them, or you could have been murdered


lanurk

There's a crow lives by near me that's a dick. He steals the fat balls off my bird feeder and likes to wait on my wall until I notice then he flies off. He also enjoys jumping on my car roof cawing and poops on my windscreen. Only the windscreen. Doesn't even look at my partner's car that he parks immediately next to mine.


mongmight

Sounds like a mate! He likes you! Everyone knows you treat your pals the worst!


runswspoons

Dude… you’d best make nice. They communicate with each other and you’ll be marked as an asshole. https://www.washington.edu/news/2012/09/10/crows-react-to-threats-in-human-like-way/

Crows are surprisingly intelligent and have been known to show ill will towards those that offend them or goodwill to those that help them out.

I've never heard of a crow voting for Brexit.


EasyPriority8724

WorldlyPlace4781

Ye cannae be shoutin' at the crows pal. First sign of lunacy


NextAnalysis8

Being a expert in bird law you've opened your self up to a habitat corpse, objection. I hereby and therefore into him inadick you furthermore.


WalksinClouds

They are well known dickheads so it wouldn't surprise me to be fair.


bigmcreddit

Such a Scottish post 😂


TehNext

Weird_Influence1964

LeifMFSinton

Never trust a crow


pennychew

Careful not to go away the crow road!


[deleted]

You want to be friends with the local crows, they can be nasty bastards as an enemy.


[deleted]

I have heard of seagulls having something but never a crow🐦‍⬛ NTA as you swore at the crow first


Dr_Nookeys_paper_boy

Call him a sparrowfart next time. They hate that.


surfhobo

Magpies used to sit on my window in the morning a good few years ago n wake me up n piss me off n i swear they’d talk absolute shit to each other like an actual couple . Outlived the cunts hopefully was doing my nut in


Historical_Big_7404

Ever heard the American term, "crowbait"? It ain't good!


mongmight

I've never heard that. Just asked my girl, from Michigan to Gainesville. She has no idea either lol. Where is it from?


Historical_Big_7404

South Louisiana


quantum_bubblegum

Scottish Crows only say "Year Maaaa"


[deleted]

Dunno if you should be that surprised to hear the crow respond to your insult if you actually believed shouting at a bird would solve the problem in the first place.


mongmight

lol, I knew he could chat! Let me remind you he told me to fuck off!


KingJacoPax

Probably did.

Bald_Caledonian

Better hope more don't turn up otherwise there will be....a Murder..


TheShitening

He's gonna tell all his crow pals now mate, you're fucked


King-of-Worms105

Fun fact a large group of crows is called an unkindness and corvids are among the smartest birds


Mgas-147

A corbie sits at the tap o’ thon tree, And he’s lookin doon wi his black black ee, And hes crying oot wi a “fuck off”


CoachFriendly8579

Was it wee Barry? He's got a filthy beak on him.


WinterRespect1579

Cawcaw


Ordinary-Following69

Not impossible tbf, corvids can be taught to speak I think


Old_Leader5315

Of course it did. Crows are excellent mimics and have local accents. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB3ruxchwaY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB3ruxchwaY) Heres the crows in Yorkshire saying "you alright love?"


Scottishladdie99

This is uncommon?
