Talking Pied Crow Asks People Passing By on Street ‘Y’alright Love?’ in a Strong Yorkshire Accent

While out with their family on a sightseeing trip to Knaresborough Castle in North Yorkshire, England, Lisa and Mark Brooks were surprised to come across one of the resident ravens, Mourdour an African Pied Crow, who asked several times “Y’alright love?” in a strong Yorkshire accent.

The raven continued on, stating “I’m alright, I’m alright, I’m alright” over and again.

The 34-second clip shows the pied crow fiddling with a twig before hopping onto a wall to greet the couple with the endearing phrase ‘Y’alright love?’.
