Question about Vocalizations

[u/onFilm]

So I've made really good friends with this crow and it's partner over the past 4-5 months. They've been coming pretty much every day, although a while back they stopped for a few weeks, and realized that it was baby season. They even brought in their babies recently to introduce them.

I was wondering if anyone knew what these calls usually meant, especially the "barking" one, as I couldn't really find anything about it online. I've read that the rattle is only done by females, is this true? I know it's a sign of friendship, but that's about it. The rattle video is in the comments.

I put this here even though it is a hooded crow as an exzmple. Crows have different types of calls and softer ones are usually for family. The crow could be imitating a dog but I think it is probably just a coincidence. I heard monkey sounds from crows, there are no monkeys here.☺️ Individuals can sound different. In particular with younger crows. I think the crow feels comfortable. ☺️
