While in the garden earlier in the week I
observed and heard some 15 Little Ravens and 2 or 3 Australian Ravens in and
near a tree just up the road from our home (less than 100m).
An individual would softly call for about 5 seconds. This was
just audible from where I stood. This was immediately followed by very raucous
calling from all of the assembled birds for 5-10 seconds and then there was
silence for 10 - 30 seconds. This was followed by the soft calling which was
again followed by loud calling from all. This sequence was repeated many times
over the next 15 minutes or so, before all flew off in various
directions.
What were they doing??? (It almost sounded
like a conversation.)
