[@Fruitarian.]

why is he on leash? :/

[@PN15NotAvailable]

So he doesn't fly off and never returns, probably. It appears to be a pet Raven.

[@todaybrain7587]

Hey Frutarian! She's only on a leash when Igraine takes them to Castle Knaresborough :) Explained here on the wikipedia page :D "The ravens are kept tethered when they are out and about. Until recently, they were allowed to roam freely but a rather mischievous bird developed a propensity for landing on people's heads. The powers-that-be in Knaresborough town council were not amused!" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Igraine_and_Raven.jpg

[@premvali86]

he is a domestic bird and he is on restraint by Jesse's like other birds of prey trainers using. it is probably one in training or in unfamiliar dangerous (getting spooked or lost) for the bird, so owner titrating him by those Jesse's. I use a harness, for the same reasons above. if a bird like that gets lost, that's not good not for it and not for the owner, it can't survive out. if he is performing his training tricks with his owner he's probably in good mood and not stressed, but still getting used to Jesse's onhis feet. don't judge if you don't know ok?

Great zombie jesus Keep your opinion to yourself

[@premvali86]

Great zombie jesus dude why like that? everyone answering your question so nicely and with patience, why the anger? the pet is ok it's not suffering and looks like it's getting lots of fun and meaning for his life as a pet, looks well cared for, not botherd by the jesses on his feet which are protection device, so why the hate ?

[@Robapalabra]

"what's the matter?" ?

[@TonyEnglandUK]

[@voiceofreason1663]

[@aliwalker7667]

Awesome, incredible birds, I love, love love them, thanks so much for sharing! ;)

[@supervortex8363]

skipton castle ?

[@6Jillybeans]

Great Zombie Jesus, I appreciate your passion but I did not notice that it was jessied. I am sorry that it is causing you so much upset but I find your language and abuse deplorable. There is simply no need for it. For all we know the bird may have been hand reared. Not that it would need to be tied up. When this video first went up it was sideways so I couldn't even see it properly. I hope you take some anger management classes to direct your passions in the right direction.
