That's lovely!!
I fondly remember a neighbor long ago on Long Island NY doing some gardening & being visited by a crow that kept repeating "Hello, hello" over & over. Crows are terrific mimics & this one had obviously been someone's pet. We were mesmerized & hoped he'd stick around, but he never returned.

My mother had a pair of crows that she raised from nest age birds. The house we lived in had two window trellises covered with wisteria and Gertie and Jimmie hung out on the trellis. My brother lived across the street and had a son Kevin. The birds' vocabulary included "oh, boy" and "Kevin". When they called Kevin, you could not tell whether it was my mother or the birds calling. And nephew Kevin was just a kid and he couldn't tell the difference either. People walking past the house were greeted with "oh, boy" and they would stop and look around. Since the crows were deep inside the wisteria vine, passersby had no idea who was talking to them.
As a teenager, I found them somewhat "embarrassing".
