Fable the Raven | Exploring Outside

[@Michael-tq6xm]

i found a raven in 1995 sat in the fast lane of the m61 by chorley i pulled over and got him in the car he had a huge scab over both eyes , he was sure hungy and thirsty, we got a surgeon to lift the huge scab s off his head and he still had eyes , never knew a bird could be so intelligent till i met that guy. we kept him for 6 months then i released him into a group of ravens that roost nearby. my eyes are welling up thinking about him but he was n't captive bread so i thought he would be better out there hopefully finding himself a mate. followed me everywhere and couldnt talk but showed affection and trust for me in magnitudes.

[@polarisator9892]

Do ravens find a new mate, if they loose their previous?

[@Michael-tq6xm]

@@polarisator9892 I don't know, I knew one Swan who had his mate stolen, by thieves and he never raplaced her, I used to go sit with him and get neck hugs off him and sometimes wing hugs too until he got stolen too. Human /animal love is the purest, that Swan used to walk with me up the river when he I went fishing, I used to get out the car shout his name and he came to spend time with me. I was his pet human I think.

[@saffronskies333]

I had tears welling up reading this. It's a beautiful story.

[@polarisator9892]

@@Michael-tq6xm Swans are scary. Or at least they were, when I was the same size as them.

[@suestoons]

@@Michael-tq6xm I can relate. When I worked at the Thompson Airport [Manitoba, Canada], we had an Airport Raven. I don't know if it was because I chatted back to him or what but I felt like his pet human. He would accompany me on all my weather observations and whenever I had to do a synoptic ob [every 6 hours with the morning one being the most lengthy] and all of these obs being quite a ways away from the terminal building he would take a short flight, land, wait for me to catch up, hop beside me for a few paces, rinse and repeat. Chattering the whole way out, snoopervise me out in the Met Compound, and chattering the whole way back. I felt very special as his pet 😊

[@LightbulbSunStudios]

This is kind of silly, but in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can teach your Animal villagers new phrases. One of mine is a crow, so in a bit of corvid solidarity and as an homage to Miss Fable, I taught him "boop boop".

[@wingsandwildlands]

I love playing that! Never thought to teach boop boop! Now I will :')

[@spookyboo22]

She looks so glossy and healthy

[@pwnmeisterage]

Some of the ravens around here have a magnificent purple-blue sheen. They play in the wind and are incredibly agile. But others are dull and scruffy-looking. And are invariably thicker, slower, more sturdy, less curious, more aggressive. They're all one kind or the other, none in between, and they seem like different species but they're not.

Not sure about that, she's found a new game. If I take this out and drop it, you'll pick it up and put it back. Congratulations, you now have something new to put on your job description.

She's so lucky to have you.. and you her.. beautiful to watch you both.

[@rayman1611]

I love your channel! We live in western Washington and have been adopted by a beautiful Raven couple. For the past 10 years we have been visited every day by our friends. In the early summer they bring their new (fully grown) chicks to meet us. It sounds like a zoo here (monkey calls) as the kids sort themselves out. There are usually 4 or 5 young. Invariably, one is the odd bird out. So, by early winter, all of the young Ravens have found a new home territory except the one. So, each winter we have 3 Ravens. We love them all. The native Americans in this area revere and practically worship the Raven. Thanks you so much for your efforts. We love all of our bird friends.

[@sittingporcupine]

Yeah Amy and her birds..Love Fable, but really do enjoy them all.

[@lindalaw9616]

Wonderful, wonderful, thank you Amy and Fable such a delight to watch you two together xxx Thank you so very much . XX

[@nannyofmany8315]

Fable is a beautiful bird. She did well. In time it will become her territory too outside Gorgeous bird. Awww.

[@pronneberg]

This is fantastic. Thanks so much for demonstrating vast patience and real empathy for Fable. We live very close to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. There are lots of ravens in the park...and in particular a "couple" or two raven friends who live very close to the places we like to hike on a regular basis. They always - and I mean always - come out to greet us. To grok at us and check out where we're going. I've never spotted a nest - probably will not, but they are beautiful, energetic, and smart. I like to talk to them - one is braver than the other (male? female?) and will come closer to us than the other. When they fly together, depending upon the wind, it is like watching an aerobatic team. They are magnificent. Thank you so much for these wonderful informative videos!

[@devittca]

Love watching your videos! A crow I call Harry started visiting us in Florida and came almost daily for grapes. He would leave us presents of some kind of hard berries from a plant. We went back up north for 4 months and just got back down 2 weeks ago and in a different car in the car port. It took Harry 2 days to return for his grapes lol. I’m so glad he did. He calls out every morning to remind us to feed him.

[@susanwatanabe147]

I'm very impressed by her feather condition. What a delight she is! Back in the 1970s, a raven came to visit my house. She stayed for about a week while we located her owner. I was 12 years old and had pet chickens, so I guess she figured that we were the right place to come. I'll never forget when my mom woke me up one day in a panic. She said "Susan GET UP! There's a giant bird on our roof!" ;-)

[@DarkMode95]

Do corvids are more like cats, you can teach them stuff but there is no stoping them when they do their thing

[@nanwijanarko1969]

And when they want space, you GIVE them space.

[@DDRR00]

Yes!! Cats came to mind as soon as I saw this!

[@polarisator9892]

Generally speaking domesticated animals lost a lot of intelligence, compared to their wild forms (for example wolves are more intelligent, then most dog breeds). Didn't effect cats that much, though. They mostly just got less timid. Fable is of course tamed, instead of domesticated, so no huge genetical differences compared to her wild brethren .

I'll have you know that my cats are very well-behaved and stop when I tell the to. Though they do sometimes make me pull rank, too.

[@jessicahavens-ziebarth9409]

They sure are! They are like flying cats in a way. I have a ginger Norwegian forest cat (we think Norwegian forest...or possibly mixed with Angora? - the litter was found in my in-laws’ back garden and we got them all adopted). Anyway, he’s very much a “people” cat compared to his sister (pure white) who we also adopted. I love her, she’s very playful, but she’s exactly a typical feisty cat, and a bit aloof and averse to being held. My ginger boy will make all kinds of different meows and head nods and gently paw at things to “point” and look right at you to make sure you saw (!) and such to communicate. It’s like he knows so much of what we say that I am interested in getting a set of communicator buttons like some dogs and cats have to tell their humans things. I feel like fable is just as intelligent and affectionate with her handler. Also, my boy kitty is extremely treat motivated and loves solving puzzles. Maybe someday we can get our own little fable.
