One of the most common questions people ask about crows is whether or not baby crows caw. The answer to this question is a little bit complicated. First, it is important to understand that there are two types of vocalizations that crows make: calls and songs. Calls are shorter and more simple than songs, and they serve different purposes. For example, a mother crow might use a call to let her chicks know that she is coming back to the nest with food.
Baby crows do make calls, but they don't usually sound like the deep caw of an adult crow. Instead, their calls tend to be higher-pitched and less complex. It's thought that baby crows learn to make adult-like calls as they get older and gain more experience communicating with other crows. So, if you hear a baby crow making a simple caw sound, don't be too surprised - it's just part of the learning process!
