I have a family of crows that lives on my block. They started to recognize me after I got peanuts and started to regularly feed them. Started off pretty innocent, they'd drop off things like bottlecaps at my doorstep as a thank you. Then once they started to learn my twice-weekly walk to the store, they began to follow me. What I believe is the youngest has begun to swoop down and tug at my hair while I'm walking. Never actually hurt, but it seems that crow knows that it bothers me, and he must've found it pretty funny, because now all 3 of them will do it. Usually once or twice per walk, but it's just enough to remind me how smart they are and what little deviants they can be lol. To this day I still receive little gifts after feeding them :)

Sometimes they like to repeatedly bash my roof with their beaks randomly throughout the day. Not so I can come to see them. Apparently just because. Recently they have been screaming in unison until I come out to see them, then they act like nothing happened. Most often they will pretend to not want to be fed and completely ignore me on purpose, only to then act up the second I attempt to leave. You know. Stuff that little kids would do.

[@jasoncarswell7458]

The Steller's Eagle is a fish eagle like the Bald Eagle and has no interest in eating that big nasty old raven. Which the raven, being at least as intelligent as a dog, knows full well, and is why he's pushing his luck. Corvids don't like birds of prey - they get eaten by them, either as juveniles or adults. So they usually form big mobs and pester the hell out of them during the day when they are trying to sleep. It's an evolutionary instinct for them to not tolerate any bigger predators in their zone. I have seen lots of smaller birds do this too. It's counter-intuitive, but it works, so evolution has allowed for it.

Also, large animals (relative) tend to be slower most of the time and very conservative of energy (see: deep sea gigantism), so I think the eagle just knows it’s not worth it and will only go as far as faking attacks.

"The sheer audacity of this small black bird insults me..."

[@parakeet8157]

Raven" nyah,nnah nah" Eagle "Don't come near ME!" Nasty raven laughing at Eagle......😢

[@loksven83]

Ah yes, my favorite bully, one that's itty bitty compared to its target, super smart, and likes to be a cheeky little bastard 😂

[@speedmaster001]

There, fixed the title. "Common raven annoying a Stellar's sea eagle".

[@MrPilotStunts]

Eagle is thinking where the heck is his turn down button

[@ZC.Andrew]

This was funny at first but then I realized they seem to be caged together there.... can the eagle not escape that constant annoyance??

[@ghosttheropod]

the fact that the crow's body language is so expressive only makes the situation even better.

[@TheBigOutdoorWoods]

Just comparing the size of that raven to the eagle, that raven really is playing it risky going after the eagle. Love the bird calls and the beak clicking sounds.

[@mrx4022]

1:24 Eagle: Can you actually shut the f up? Raven: Ah you mad lol

[@snowcloudshinobi]

1:50 you can tell he's reached his limit

[@PatrickPierceBateman]

The raven is literally trolling and laughing at the eagle.

[@lQuadXl]

*It's truly amazing that the Raven can fly at all, carrying all that weight! Its* _MASSIVE_ *balls must weigh a* _TON_*!* ⚠️⚫⚫⚠️

[@prestokrevlar]

It's playing the "I'm not touching you" game. I mean, it was, until it snagged the eagle's wing.

[@spikerthedragonbear]

The raven is really into the show, and you can clearly see the eagle pissed off by the end

[@TheProphetOfThePan]

Smart enough to know its limits and bully within a safe distance because it knows the eagle can turn it into a chuckline

[@fhetty]

Ravens are actually amazing birds. Their level of intelligence is almost frightening. If anything ever happened to humans, it would be an all out battle between Squid and Ravens for control of the Earth.

[@rogerio067072]

This is that situation when a huge guy, used to work with heavy stuff, that is in a bar just for some cold beers and watch some sport on tv and there is a small brave guy that had more beers than he should and wants to test his bravery...

[@arbiterftw]

I reckon the crow was spouting mean comments at the eagle's expense

[@ElenaKomleva]

Raven is imitating human laughter! 👉🏽1:34 I feel bad for the poor eagle though.. being harassed like that in addition to being caged for life!

[@ljsing-n6y]

What

[@ElenaKomleva]

@@ljsing-n6y **imitating

[@internetenjoyer1044]

why did they put such obviously antagonistic species in the same enclousure together lol

[@kazimirgussman7839]

For public fun, obviously.

[@dr.altoclef9255]

I would assume the raven just slipped in for free food and decided to hang around and annoy everyone.

[@woobi4739]

They're like little mischievous jesters.

[@midnightsummer1462]

Sucha insult mimiking the Eagle’s noise and actually thinking about how to insult and reach the eagle

[@toddburgess5056]

One of these eagles has been spending time here on the coast of Maine, some 6,000 miles away from it's normal habitat.
