Honestly, imagine doing a ‘hoorah!’ with your buds out in the middle of the woods, and you hear ‘ᴴᵒᵒʳᵃʰ’ off in the distance. Now imagine if that came from something that didn’t even sound human. You’d shut up too.

There’s an entire poem dedicated to a Crow saying ‘nevermore’, and there’s an old cartoon trope of crows saying foreboding things prior to tragedies.
Our love and interest in talking birds has always been also accompanied by unease, especially at what they say.
