In the books, Lord Commander Mormont of the Night's Watch has a raven that is often around him, and can speak. Even though it usually repeats only single-syllable words from conversations that it just overheard, the animal shows signs of intelligence, as it almost always repeats the appropriate word. According to author George R.R. Martin, some were relieved that the creature was omitted from the show, as it was a controversial character.
