Product information "Crow Call"
Corvids are very intelligent and social birds. When danger threatens, they emit a short and harsh call. This is the warning call. It can be heard, for example, when a crow sees a fox. If you remove the small piece of tube, the sound becomes higher.

How do you use the Crow Call?
For over four decades, it has been a particular concern of mine to have a reasonably
functioning crow caller. Most crow decoys just
produce the sounds of a rook, but the harsh call of the predatory corvid could not be imitated
with them.
During the development of my wild boar decoys, a reed was accidentally cut off too short and the new corvid decoy was born with a few other modifications. However, one thing must be made clear from the outset: Raven crows are very clever and memorising. It takes incredible skill on the part of the hunter to outwit this species . The most important thing is cover or camouflage. It is essential to know where the sleeping trees are. Towards evening you should look for cover near the roosting trees and in the early hours of the morning a copse or hedge when the crows are heading towards the grazing fields. The normal crow call with the decoy in front of you works as follows: You take the decoy into your mouth and enclose the opening on the short tube with your cupped, half-closed hands. While gently blowing into it, open the hand cup so that the following sound comes out: "groohaagroohaa". The short warning call is very easy to imitate. For example, when the crow has seen a fox or a cat: kra-kra-kra. Over four decades ago, my teacher said to me: "Listen, they're calling Kaaarl--- Kaaarl again." Interpreting the individual calls is a science in itself. Is it a collective call or a partner call? Is it a call to keep rivals away in early spring or is it a battle call?
Once you have these lockers in your hands, you will consciously memorise the natural calls of the crows at every opportunity. It is best to always have the instrument with you and try to reproduce the calls you hear. You will notice that you use your hands differently for one or the other call. For example, first hold your hands open and then close them when blowing.
There is no standard call. I was at the Animal Sound Museum in Berlin. If you consider that over 200 different vocalisations of foxes are stored there, you can imagine how little we know about the language of animals.
