One time about 8 years ago, I told my fiance(wife now) that I was going hunting. She said ok, rolled her eyes and smiled. As I walked out to my car, I heard an eerie "hello". Startled, I looked all over....no one was there.(6 Apartment complex)
Anyway, I get half way to my car and hear "wow". So I figure it is Halloween, someone is messing with me....
Just as I get to my car, a crow lands on it-on the roof and says, yes SAYS "Hello"....
Kinda flipped me out. Turns out the neighbors down the road had raised it, and from what they said they split the tongue so it could "talk".
As the a couple of years went by, we came to know the bird rather well...he would visit, steal cat food, hand out on our shoulders while we gardened...it was pretty cool. All I ever heard him say was hello and wow...otherwise he just whistled.
Oh yeah, I did go hunting that night and got a seven point buck..biggest with a bow so far.
