Crow Making a Noise I Have Not Heard Before (youtube.com)

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?

They make the rattling (clicking) sound and cooing sounds when in intimate conversations with each other, usually part of mating or interacting with a young crow.

I learned that the crow makes about twenty different sounds, and is also a mimic that can match other bird calls and even mimic the sound of humans.

They're just smart lil' birbs

Interesting. I knew they made some sounds, but not that many!
