@johnettesnuggs @ct_bergstrom Excellent!
@eleanorrees @ct_bergstrom it was my first thought, so I thought I’d save you some time.
wb x64@eleanorrees @ct_bergstrom it's sort of a hoarser caw around this age, this is the closest I've found to the one I saw that was similar https://youtu.be/8SfClsqZCMw
How Do You Care for a Baby Crow?
@ct_bergstrom looks like a South Park version of a crow.

Ferdinand M.@ct_bergstrom The adult bird(s) didn't attack you? 🙂 Usually they aren't very happy if you come near their offspring...
@ferdinand This bird fledged on a college campus where I suppose the parents were highly habituated to people. They were completely unconcerned. I was also shooting from a distance with a very long lens. I was watching closely for signs of distress from fledgling or parents and would have left immediately.
chris martens@ct_bergstrom @ferdinand they also probably heard from their crow friends that you’re trustworthy 😁
Deirdra Hahn@ct_bergstrom Absolute unit of smol birb
Matt May@ct_bergstrom this looks like a crow 3D printer glitched and left out the torso

@ct_bergstrom Its facial expression is like "So what are you staring at, heh?" 
myrmepropagandistThis looks like the kind of kid who spends all their time talking to whatever adults will listen about their obsession with traffic light timing. And at first it's kinda cute and a little annoying, but then it gets really interesting because it turns out some of the light timing problems are related to graph theory.
(this got way too specific... But you know the type right? Always calls you Mr. ___ or Mrs. ___ even if you tell them not to?)
Hermit the Frog@ct_bergstrom oh my gosh 💕
Abandoned America@ct_bergstrom that is both wonderfully adorable and also a masterful photo
@AbandonedAmerica Thank you so much!
@ct_bergstrom I call 'em like I see 'em 😊
Barry Goldman@ct_bergstrom @futurebird so.... crows start out life as frogmouths?

Ben Rosengart@ct_bergstrom where is the rest of this bird 😂
Just Jo@ct_bergstrom hours out the nest and already pissed
Carl, is it OK if I share this baby crow over on tumblr? I'll link back to this post and your account obviously.
People have been saying that this is a baby crow over there and it's driving me up the wall:
Andy Price@futurebird @ct_bergstrom My searching got me to a bird called a buff-banded rail https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Buff-banded_Rail_chick_%28Gallirallus_philippensis%29_%2836761960344%29.jpg
[Edit: I'm not entirely convinced that it's the right bird but it seems like a good lead]
Yay! Thanks! The post about fake, incorrect baby birds is up. Now I just need to identify the "not crow" and it will be complete:

Baby crow, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo…
If I have to have this stuck in my head, I'm going to make it *everyone's* problem.
Pierangelo@futurebird @ct_bergstrom i think that's chicken breed looks like maybe this https://www.freedomrangerhatchery.com/shop/product/black-diamond-chicken/
@futurebird @ct_bergstrom ops just read linked post sorry, yeah buff-banded rail seems legit🤗
Blue Appaloosa@futurebird @ct_bergstrom Pretty sure that's a baby chicken, different breeds are different colors as chicks. I couldn't tell you which breed that might be, but maybe @ksonney or @foxfeather can.
@futurebird Also, I'd like to show you this neat art of the growth of a crow from egg to fledgeling. It's a Carrion Crow, but they really don't look much different from American Crows.
Carrion Crow Science growth chart illustration — The art of CrowArtist
Crows reach sexual maturity at 3 years old and can live to be 17-20 years old. This chart shows the growth from the moment the bird hatches up to its Juvenile form. This guide features the species: Carrion Crow Paper: – A5 (148mm x 210mm) – Single sided – Archival Matt, 230gsm – Ma
raederle@futurebird Have you used Cornell Lab Merlin Bird app? I’ve found it to work well for me when I can say where and when I spotted the bird with a photo.
