The group exhibits high interest and agreement, with discussions emphasizing how crows can control their vocalizations up to four, similar to child-like counting, using language like 'amazing' and 'reveal,' which reflects fascination. Engagement is evident through references to experiments, comparisons with human abilities, and highlights of the birds’ cognitive skills, making the conversations both supportive and in-depth.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions support the findings, emphasizing that crows can count their vocalizations, a skill previously thought to be unique to humans.
InterestHigh interest
Numerous social discussions show strong curiosity and fascination with crows' counting abilities, indicating high interest.
EngagementHigh engagement
Many posts reference specific experiments, compare to human counting, and explore implications, demonstrating deep engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
While the conversations underscore the significance of the research, the overall influence on broad scientific or societal levels is moderate.
Abstract in brief
Crows are capable of counting their vocalizations, producing between one and four sounds based on arbitrary cues, indicating a level of numerical and vocal control not clearly established in other animals.
The acoustic characteristics of the first crow call in a sequence can predict the total number of calls, suggesting that crows plan their vocalizations in advance.
These acoustic features also help determine the order of the calls and can be used to identify counting errors, reflecting sophisticated vocal and cognitive abilities in crows.
Our paper, Crows ‘count’ the number of self-generated vocalizations, is out! With this amazing team (@KatharinaBrecht, @lena_veit, A_Nieder), we uncovered that crows are able to control the number of vocalizations produced.

Crows can control the number of vocalizations they produce, “counting” up to four in response to visual and auditory cues.
The results in Science suggest the birds show a level of vocal control that mirrors the early counting skills of human toddlers. https://t.co/YXIUz7h8Ea https://t.co/6OPgLSCiU6

Wrony potrafią liczyć w sposób podobny do ludzkiego. Badania nad wronami sugerują system językowy, który może być podobny do naszego. W badaniu sprawdzano, czy wrony, znane ze swoich umiejętności liczenia, potrafią używać wokalizacji do głośnego liczenia.
