I know Dolphinspeak is in the pipeline but we need to get some advanced AI working on deciphering corvid language.

Anyway, super interesting article and it would certainly amaze me if corvids didn't have a consciousness at this point.

I recently read In the Company of Crows and Ravens and it suggested that crow language may be very specific to crow families and neighbors, kind of like a regional dialect but for many very small regions, so it might difficult to interpret a universal language that understands the more specific aspects of every individual crow cant. We might only get the most basic and common calls.

Okay, see you in 100+ years then.
