Wild Crow Knocks On Window To Play With His Baby Friend Every Day | Cuddle Buddies
Russel, the wild crow, greets his favourite kid daily and waits to play with him. When Russel first flew to this family’s house, no one thought he’d stay. But his bond with Otto changed everything!

I got it! Russell Crow(e).
Somedays I'm way too sloooow. Thank you for cluing me in. I'd better go have a cup of coffee. Sheesh.
Yep, that's funny 🤣 Honestly, I like Russell Crow better than Russell Crowe.😅
That's funny, thanks 😂😂
How did I miss that!😅

This bird has a brain similar to a 7 year old kid. Crows are super intelligent!
And they bond for life
Nonhuman intelligence doesn't go past age 4

@@ASMRyouVEGANyet How would you know been a vegan does not make you a expert in animals 🤐🤨
Right, though just like with humans, there are more and less intelligent / social exemplars :) So don't think you just look for a pet crow and it will act like that. This is quite rare, like cats opening doors with the handle or something similar. Though many birds have a quite high potential. However most birds have a different kind of intelligence. Birds also "plan" certain actions (for example when building nests) but their brains work different to humans in that regard. The (english) wikipedia article on "Bird_intelligence" is quite comprehensive
She has taught that baby how to handle animals better than most adults. Good lady, you have no idea how many bad parents skip that part.
I think this is a great way for a child to learn empathy.
@@maxp3141 Cats are also used to teach kids consent & patience.
I ever asked why my mother had acted like that badly during my youth, and then I was told: just think how more badly her mother ever acted to her! I had to say: ok, Jesus, I got it.
@maryw9841 Yes, it can definitely be a generational thing, where abuse and/or neglect continues on down through the generations, it's passed down through parents, parents, parents etc. But it can also be broken with love and perseverance, it doesn’t have to continue. I hope it hasn't affected you too badly, and you'll be able to correct it. :)
The best reason to get a pet is to teach your children to love and care for something weaker than themselves.
Our crow friend was named Ralph. My dad rescued him after he fell out of the nest in a wind storm. Ralph grew up over the spring and summer and spent a lot of time with our family. Toward the end of summer he started spending time with the other crows. By October he had gone wild. He would still come and visit from time to time, but wouldn't let us get too near to him. By the next spring we couldn't tell which crow was Ralph. It was a wonderful experience for our family and I think it was a perfect ending.
You gave him a fair chance and the way the two interact so great together is sweet to watch
@@marybebber3743 I believe this is a different crow connection 🥰
What a lovely story.
You're teaching your little boy all about love and respect for animals. So wonderful!
I like to call it "compassion in action" ❤️
that is real compassion and so heartfelt that little crow touches my heart ,, @@TheKatiness
Did you see the very end when the little boy was running and the bird got in his path... he did everything in his power to make sure he didn't kick his buddy. He definitely loves are respects that bird. Perfect choice of words.
@@freetheworld12 yeah.... it's instinct not to mow over something that you love. How intelligent you are! I think you missed the point of my comment when you focused on the 1 thing you disagreed with and could bait an argument over..... *it was pretty cute how that little boy showed respect for the bird by hitting the brakes instead of running him over.... even though balance (at speed) isn't always easy for a guy that small. But sure... ill acknowledge that you disagree with me. Good for you.
@@freetheworld12 SO amazing & wonderful 😇😄💖 kath the wife 🇬🇧
That kid is gonna have a hell of a story to tell to his classmates one day. Imagine being able to say "Oh yeah, when I was a toddler my best friend was a crow." and have it be the honest truth!
And the nice thing is that crows can easily live to 10 years or more (depending on their environment), so they could stay friends for years to come!
Karl pilkington.
Nah, he'll say, my best friend was Russel Crow.
lol! All the comments are so precious and sweet 💕💯 I love how gentle the crow 🐦⬛ is with little boy ( it’s like he knows he’s young) And the young boy is so gentle with him! Too sweet! 💕🐦⬛💕
Show and tell Monday Kid 1 - I have a book Kid 2 - I have a barbie doll this kid - I have a crow and he's here today and he's gonna stay the whole day to learn some math with us LMFAO This kid gets picked on in the schoolyard. his crow swoops down to peck the bullies in the head MARK MY WORDS
That bird is a spirit protecting that child.
It's a bird, it's just... a bird.
@@TahiriVeila13ABY Its baby bird
@@TahiriVeila13ABY maybe to you , but this bird is special especially to the little boy and to many other bird lovers
More like seeking it. I wonder if the family is into some kind of witchcraft.
@@4KindnessGal what ????? if anything that family was blessed to have that gorgeous intelligent spiritual bird visit them
Thank you for giving him a chance! He wouldn't have survived without you. He was looking for help and you gave it ❤
Animals can recognize a good soul...thank you for saving him.
Love and kindness is absolutely free. Family can come in all shapes and sizes.
So true
Right 🥰🥰🙏🏻
All children are pure and good souls. It's easy.
@@celye1304 Question why do you have a praying emoji as its nothing to do with religion, just stick to your butterflies 🤨
These are two old souls who were once connected.
🤣
Nonsense. This is nature just being nature. I don't know why we have to attach some sort of spiritual or supernatural meaning to these interactions when reality does the job perfectly.
@@baghiballsakh82.....'cause it's the internet, ol' boy and sadly, that's how more than a few women view life.
@@TomHuston43 Unfortunately you might be onto something there.
absolutely correct
This child is learning what a lot of other children miss out on in their early years of development. Pure and natural empathy. All creatures on this earth share a natural form of communication, a universal language in the form of empathy. The ability to understand what another is thinking just by connecting and understanding body movement, sound, gestures and even muscle movement down to very small muscles like in the face. Simple breathing patterns can tell another creature what mood someone or something is in. His empathy levels as he grows into a adult will give him a great edge with his peers. It is lovely to see being displayed here.
Thank you for helping this crow 🐦⬛. I believe he would have been very lonely hungry thirsty and scared and he would have died if it weren’t for you ! Much love and respect for you and your child ! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I particularly loved how gentle the baby was to the crow.
I noticed that too! Clearly he's well taught to respect animals. Good parenting there.
How cool is this? Especially for the Lil man. This crow is making some fantastic memories for yall.
There is nothing better than a wild animal choosing you in my book. Me?... I'm still waiting to be worthy. 0 Be king to yourself, each other and your pets. ❤
This crow is making some fantastic memories for yall. - seems pretty pathetic, like you are dependant on it. Like you automatically expecting, life will not make it on it's own. Pretty sad angle of view. I'm looking on life just from opposing spectre. You don't need any memories, just life from present joy till end of life. You automaticaly expecting, like it will be sad, poor, and depressed after some time. Only childhood and some animal pet can have expection. I don't like this angle of view at all, so that last sentence. The crow is not making any fantastic memories. It will be fantastic even without crow, you are not addicted to some stupid memories from pet, otherwise life will suck. No. Life can be good from basis, and pet is only bonus. You don't need any dependancy on stupid memories from pet, to not have poor life.

I also befriended a Crow on the beach walking with my Labrador. Kindness is a wonderful thing.
Crows are extremely loyal to friends....if you are kind to him and let him visit, he will be your friend his whole life. Leave little shiny things for him....metal buttons or small colourful flowers...that will tell him you see and care about him. Just let him live his wild life and enjoy that he wants to visit with you. You have been blessed with an unusual connection to a wild creature. Enjoy it.
I have several crows on my property. They are so intelligent and curious. I love having them around.
Me too!
But crows are loud
@@deniselange8154 on my property the only time they get really loud is when something comes on my property that isn't normal occurrence. Other wise they are not any louder than my other animals.
Yes & I believe you, but are any of those Crows as friendly to you, as the one in the video, and if so, you just gotta be a special person indeed ✌🏾🙏🏾☺️
@@shawnkincheloesr5192 suibian
Crows are the smartest birds! Their relationship is magical.
Very intelligent and they bond for life
Oh they are ... There is a video where you can see them throwing nuts on a crosswalk. Cars would drive over the nuts and crack the shells. The crows would wait for the red light for the cars to fly down to the nuts and eat them..
I'll never understand how people can click dislike on videos like this...
I'm very conflicted with videos like this. It's incredibly beautiful, but at the same time there are so many horror stories of people being irresponsible with wild animals. Animals give social ques of defense that babies do not understand. I just hope people don't see something like this and misunderstand the dangers.
And I'll never understand how people even care about dislikes.

@@amacaddict And you think I care? 😂 🤦♀
@@amacaddict Do you always look for negative things to whine about?
I'm glad you rescued that bird. It's beautiful.
Everybody deserves a fair chance. You’re extra lucky if you get a loving family.
Brothers from different mothers.
👍🤣🤣
That crow may indeed be Loki
Toddlers aren’t gentle with ANYTHING. That Otto knows to be still and pet Russell so gently is amazing. I enjoy all birds, but corvids are special. Thank you for saving him.
Animals are amazing. When my daughter was about 6 years old, this wild random rooster with big talons showed up one day in the front yard and started hanging out with my daughter. He allowed her to pet him and even hugged him, yet I couldn’t get close to the rooster. Naturally, I feared this random roster could inflict great harm on my daughter, but he never did, was calm and gentle towards her. After a couple of weeks, he just left. Such random act of kindness from nature are amazing and mysterious.
The best of both worlds for the bird, remain wild yet visit whenever he wants. And a great friend for the family, too!
We had a crow when the kids were little and that’s the way it was with him. Always free and chose to stay. But he also visited people and places around our small town.
A kind human saving any animal is nature taking it's course...
Yeah its often an argument of the professionals, that if you rescue an Bird, it cant adapt anymore into wildlife anymore after release. But there are soo many stories were they learned to adapt. Maybe they have to say this because of public health reasons also. But people can inform themselfes anyways if the birds in their area are healthy. We are nature also, so your right imO 🙂
All creatures, if treated with love , will return that love / 100 percent.
Otto just intuitively knows how to be around Russel. It's mind blowing.
It’s so neat seeing your son and Russell bond. That bird respects your family. It’s a bond that’ll never break.
Your son has a connection with animals that will last his hole life . My mum said the same thing about me as a child and at 51 years young im stilling feeding the crows and rooks and have one or two that land on my arm for a chat . Most locals think im nuts but i just feel very lucky to have my connection to my animal friends . And i hope the two of them have many happy years together as friends 💗 💓 ❤ 💕
That's actually pretty awesome. I am surprised locals haven't nicknamed you "Radagast".
Nice story. Shame she didn’t teach you to spell 🤪. Just for the record. It’s whole
That's a wonderful story! I know someone who hand raised an orphaned blue jay (also family Corvidae) as a child and still feels that connection, it's really a special experience to have.
Alles Neid ,viele Menschen haben kein Gefühl für Tiere ,es ist ein Geschenk ,genieße es .❤❤❤❤
Your love healed the little crow. Now he's family. ❤❤❤
Amazing. And the little toddler is so gentle with the crow as well. I've never seen that before.
Hopefully, Otto will grow up to be a champion for earth's creatures. He is hope for our future.
What a nice comment. And yes I think he will carry that bond with animals for life
@@randall9000 well thank you. Appreciate your comment. Have a very nice day. allison
What an amazing friendship ❤. Who needs human friends when you can have a featherd one?❤❤
Probably um, you know, everybody.
Crow's are so intelligent, the little lad will have a friend for life..
This is such a beautiful story of how showing compassion creates bonds. Amazing mum for allowing your little one to have this friendship.
Awww ❤ what a handsome little fella. This is too precious.
Just beautiful relief to see in our sad world 😊
So many heartwarming stories of kind interaction between humans and other animals. Especially when one or the other is in dire need, nature seems to take down its barriers; and cast fear aside as well. Now if only people would learn to do the same with one another.
Love this family kindness. Their baby is so gentle and self aware. Bravo parents!
Every young wizard needs a familiar.
No better friendship than that of an animal.
Yes. Totally selfless love❤
2:27 ..woah
Really? You must be very poor not having good human friendships 🥺
@@verabolton I have plenty of friends. Human and animal.
@@tonyascarlett2413 You must be very poor for having better friendships with animals than humans.
Vielleicht ist es ein Mensch aus der geistigen Welt ,der Opa oder so .Es ist sooo schön wie der Vogel auf das Kind aufpasst .Ich liebe es ❤
Otto and Russel have an inspiring friendship based on mutual respect and sensitivity, and it's heartwarming to see it shared on KZhead. I will share it with my friends.
All I can say is ....WOW !!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
It’s so good to hear you say…if he doesn’t want to stay with us, that’s ok too…..very sensible…..BUT WHAT A GIFT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED…ENVY!👏👏👍👍
Crows have a good memory on who’s good or bad. But this video simply warmed my heart! So adorable ❤
A simple animal understands better the definition of GOOD HEART. Great video..💕🙏
❤❤❤ Fun fact crows have the intelligence equal to a 7 year old human
I'm not sure what your claim is based on, but I doubt seriously that a typical crow has the intelligence of a 7 year old human. Crows are smart, clever and exhibit skills, but measuring intelligence is more complex than just noting certain traits in the bird.
@@surfwriter8461my god look it up…..it’s TRUE…..wow….so tired of the ignorant always acting like they KNOW. I know you didn’t even bother to look it up….just assumed but of course you’re right. Dunning-Kruger much?
@@6Haunted-Days Cool down, sport. Just because a scientist has likened crow intelligence to that of a seven year old child doesn't make it true or even define what is meant. First, you have to define intelligence, in detail and in numerous uses and applications in which intelligence can be measured or described. Crows have great intelligence for their environment, so they are adaptive and inventive in many ways. It's a ridiculous comparison as well, since intelligence in a human involves many brain functions not necessary or available to the crow, and vice-versa. I've read about the results of somewhat limited studies on crows in terms of problem-solving, basic reasoning, social interaction, etc. But the skills and environmental conditions are very different between humans and crows. I'm not denigrating crow intelligence. I just rejected the simplistic comparison between a crow and a second-grader. Your reference to the Dunning Kruger effect is like the comparison between crow and human intelligence--simple-minded, narrow and inapt in context, and ridiculous in its application. Your comment is reactionary, juvenile, extremist and ad hominem. Wagering between you and a crow in basic intelligence, I would take the crow.
Ouch.
You can't compare IQ between two different species. It just don't make sense.
Everyone Figured Out Russel!! He just CROWS AND CROWS AND CROWS!! He is just too stinking cute for words!! Thank You for sharing His CROWING STORY!!
We should all care for each other more... If we care for nature, nature will care for us...
Most animals are smarter and more loving than most people!
Some things just can’t be explained and it’s beautiful…..✌️
This can easily be explained: crows are known for being very intelligent and they bond for life. This is not the first crow maintaining a close relationship with humans.
Such a beautiful story. When humans and wild animals can share a special bond, it’s like the curtain opens that separates us from Nature.
Beautiful story, thank you for saving such a kind soul ❤ Priceless times
Das ist so wunderbar an zu sehen. Tolle Mama und tolles Kind.Es geht so liebevoll mit dem Vogel um,dass sich viele Menschen eine Scheibe davon Abschneiden können.Sowas herzergreifendes habe ich noch nie gesehen.großes Lob an die wundervolle Mama die ihrem Kind so viel Liebe und den richtigen Umgang mit Tieren bei gebracht hat.Dankeschön für's teilen echt fantastisch.Mama und Kind können sehr stolz sein.Liebe Grüße aus😊❤ Deutschland
So wow - how bird made allowances for the baby human to touch & baby adapted as well - aware of need to be gentle 💚
Yup! We must learn how to behave by watching the wonderful animals which enrich our lives!
Crows are good spirit guides the native americans rever them and it is a high honor to be chosen by them. Its an amazing gift and good luck.
Le respect du petit pour "son" corbeau, 2 bébés qui ont grandi ensemble. Superbe! 👍🖤🤍
Otto will grow to be a nature-loving gentleman.
This is seriously one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen in my life! Otto and Russell are PRECIOUS together!! Beautiful!!🤍🩵🩷💜🥰🥰🥰
Who would have thought that a video about a friendship between a toddler and a crow could bring out so many…. special comments. The baby is so gentle with the bird, he’s amazing.
雛の時からいて、赤ちゃんに撫でられていたんですね💕兄弟みたいに一緒に遊んでいますね😄 やっぱりカラスって賢いですね💖
He's so sweet and smart. Animals never cease to amaze me. They're wonderous.
"We thought he should have a fair chance" -- my heart. The dividends your kindness paid cannot be measured.
Love it. The child is so gentle with the crow. They have formed a very strong bond.
What an amazing little boy, sweet little, gentle boy, another boy his age would maybe grab it and be rough but this guy just looks at him and plays with him, gently touches him, then leaves him alone, He loves him. It’s amazing what an intelligent boy.
a little boy had compassion for animal❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Crows certainly are personalities aren’t they .So individual and unique.I love the way we are seeing some wonderful friendships between crows and different species,you are a kind and lovely family and deserve Russ’els affection❤
Well said ! 💕🐦⬛💕🐦⬛
You both should be proud of yourselves for teaching the little child how to respect other creatures at an early stage, well done you both.
How amazing is that! Otto and Russel have made a very special bond.❤️
the gentlest toddler ever (Otto even concentrated at being soft towards his crow pal)
Thank you Russell and Otto's family.
Otto is so gentle with Russel. What a great kid. Great Covid too!
How nice, sweet and peaceful❤ 本当に素敵な関係ですね！これからも末長く仲良くお幸せに！
Your little boy is learning unbelievable life skills from Russel. A heart warming story...thanks for sharing ❤
Raven birds are different from other birds. They have a real relationsship. We used to have a little magpie which had fallen out of the nest.. It was amazing. The bird is very well now, but we miss her.
What a wonderful story.If only we as humans could get along with each other in that way.
Lovely relationship.Caring, loving and above all FREE.Will last forever because they tend to live a FEE years I believe...
There is just something special about growing up with a bird like that. It helps to instill love, caring, gentleness and humanity into the young ones. So nice to see. I've never seen a crow that was black and grey, however. All the crows I've seen in my life are all black. My aunt had one and it was amazing. It was like this one where it just loved people. It could also talk. Crows are great mimics.
I always said kids n animals understand each other
Чудесная птица, человеческой душой и сердцем, вот где души после нас силаются😍
It's hard to believe how lovely this interaction between the bird and child is! Oh we need more of this to give us strength in the power of love!
I have a lot of love and respect for the wild birds..
I hope he Will stay with Russell and his family. True love!
The way he touches the crow is gentle and tender... ❤️
Otto will Never forget this little friend so proud of you guys for giving him a chance. Tks SA ❤😂❤😂❤

What a fantastic story! Russell and Otto will be best friends for life hopefully. ❤
What a lovely story. That crow's alright! Otto looks like a very kind and well-behaved kid too especially for his age.
So rare an occasion such special connection with the wild bird. So rare
Amazing! So glad Otto has such a cool, smart buddy!
That little bird chose your son How sweet.
If Russell gets kids, this could lead to a new kind of pet
