Two corvid observers, one in the U.S. and one in the U.K., frequently share videos of their favorite birds on social media. Because the observers see the same birds frequently, they recognize them as individuals and have given them names. The birds, in turn, recognize and trust the humans who visit them. The videos are a privileged window into the lives of crows and ravens. {See the comments on social media for more information.}

@corvidsbythesea often records family groups of American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) interacting with each other.

@MarburyBirds lives in a small picturesque village in Cheshire East, England where she has come to know a pair of ravens in the nearby countryside. On 7 November she saw both ravens and had a “chat” with the male.
