Scientists Used AI to Decode Crow Sounds — What They Found About Humans Is Terrifying

Galaxy Vault ^ | 16/12/25

You think you’re being watched by satellites and smartphones—but the real surveillance network is perched on power lines above your head. Scientists recently trained artificial intelligence on thousands of hours of crow vocalizations, expecting meaningless animal noise. Instead, the AI detected structured language, syntax, planning behavior, and something far more disturbing: humans are the primary subject of crow communication.

This documentary explores how crows recognize individual human faces, assign identifiers, share reputations across generations, and coordinate warnings through a global avian network. From facial recognition experiments and tool-making intelligence to crow funerals, justice systems, and possible encrypted communication, the evidence suggests crows are not reacting to us—they are studying us.

If AI can no longer translate their calls… did they change the language on purpose?

Watch carefully. The observers may already know who you are.

Hitchcock's Birds was fiction that turned out to be true. And GRRM, Robert Jordan and Tolkien's depictions of ravens was not that far off. Might even be true about them as well.

[Williams]

Oh stop it.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I spent several years on a ranch that had two large ravens. Absolutely brilliant birds.

[Sequoyah101]

I have seen a crow funeral. Quite an affair to behold.

[lefty-lie-spy]

This should be pretty obvious to anyone who spends time outside. The crows are always talking about us and how to steal our shiny things or food.

[Republican Wildcat]

So what do they think of the phrase “As the crow flies”?

[Vermont Lt]

Great. All we need are murders of crows conspiring against us.

And now if I tell my Doc that the crows are talking to me, I can show him this story.

[9422WMR]

12 gauge, #6 shot from a full choke barrel.
That will stop those gossiping troublemakers.

[Bulwyf]

I shoot so many, I’m not sure I want to know lol.

Is The Government Spying On Schizophrenics Enough? — The Onion

[shotgun]

My experience is that if you shoot a crow and leave it on the ground below the tree it was perched in, the other crows will stay away for about a month

[proust]

bad enough that a group of crows is called a murder. I do not doubt their intelligence.

[Paal Gulli]

It doesn’t do much for their credibility that whoever made that video can’t tell a crow from a raven.

[SubMareener]

We saved a nestling Mockingbird that fell out of its nest. Hand fed it until it was old enough to travel to the Tucson Wildlife Preserve to learn how to be a real Mockingbird. We called him Jasper. After a couple of months he was old enough to be released, and they let us bring him back to the tree from which he fell. For several years, Jasper would come back and talk to us as we had our morning coffee by the pool. We would raise our hands up and call Jasper, and he would jump up from the top of his favorite tree. This went on for several years so we think he taught his offspring about us. The world is stranger that we ever imagined.

[marktwain]

Compiles known behaviors into a fairy (crow)tale. It has some believable features until the end, where all the crow language is changed, for no reason, and they cannot decipher it any more.

Tends to discredit the entire story.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Bird aren't real man. The CIA killed all the birds and replaced them with little mechanical drones that you only think are birds.

They are spying on us man.

[bankwalker]

never more ...

[Eleutheria5]

There was an old cartoon about that. I think MGM. Little boy has a bee bee gun and really enjoys shooting at things. He goes outside and shoots at a juvenile crow, who falls down dead. The other crows gather ‘round and sing a mournful dirge (are there any happy dirges? OK. Wizard of Oz.) for their fallen child. The boy is beside himself with grief and guilt and cries the night away. In the morning, a raindrop awakens the young crow (can’t have death in a kiddy cartoon), and all the other crows rejoice.

They later did the same thing with a baby polar bear, but the hunters just shot him and went off in their kayaks because the bears were PO’d. Mournful dirge. Miraculous revival. But they’re not as social as crows and ravens, so that’s only relevant to how animation studios recycle concepts, of which Disney is the worst. They actually did a Lady and the Tramp II, which was awful, except that they had Don Knots as a dog catcher, and the art work was really good. How’d I get off the topic of crows?

Mossad did it with the sea gulls. The Ayatollahs were right!
