Fun SciShow video I on some unique bird nests. ::: spoiler spoiler for topics covered 1. A hummingbird species which uses a specific type of antimicrobial moss 2. Jacana floating grass nests 3. Doves which put in minimal (but optimal) effort 4. Cowbird brood parasitism 5. Magpies which build nests out of anthropogenic anti-bird spikes :::

I have been feeding some crows for the last couple of years, and one of them started making this click-cooing sound about a year or so ago. I have caught it now a couple of times, and posted the videos. Has anyone ever heard crows (or ravens, I am still confused as to which is which) making this sound?
I grew up seeing these birds everywhere. But no matter how many people I ask, no one can tell me what type of bird it is. I’m guessing some type of finch? I’m in the southern part of Florida, USA, if that’s helpful.
