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 😊

I love how quickly she transitioned from being timid out there to being an absolute menace to her surroundings

[@MorganBondelid]

Perfectly said!! 😝👏

[@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 :')

When Fable peeked around the corner brought a smile to my face. Amy does some work - Fable explores. Nice to see her go from shy to cocky. So happy to catch this video early. Boop Boop mmwaaa !

[@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.

Amy or Fable?

[@julianschnabel8793]

It's okay, Fable, I feel the same when I have to leave the house.

Fable quickly went from "Is this place safe" to "I'm pretty sure I can rip this place apart".

[@wingsandwildlands]

Not the brightest some times lol

I noticed!!!

[@crashq8784]

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 a beautiful bird, amazing condition and such a clear speaker. I have a Galah (rose breasted cockatoo) that's no where near that clear.

[@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.

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

[@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!" ;-)

[@Michael-tq6xm]

she is so used to solving little food puzzles she thinks that pole is a food puzzle i think and is looking for her treat

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

If you look closely, there is a small metal ring at the base of the post that she plays with for a split second. I think she wants to take the ring off the post and make off with it

[@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.

Watching you with Fable is like watching someone taking care of a child. Where with the other birds its not as chaotic. Im sure it can be but Fable’s chaos is different.

[@jessicahavens-ziebarth9409]

@@Bazzi69 hello friend. Yes.

[@corpselight7989]

She definitely doesnt look like she's stressing out- look at that shine! I love watching Fable videos, I watch a mated pair of Ravens out here who visit the lawn in the a.m. , ravens and crows are a delight.

[@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.

[@sapelesteve]

I could watch Fable's antics all day long Amy! What an amazingly incredible bird. I love how she explored that outside area and made it her own. Ravens are just so damn smart..........Hope that you are doing well & staying safe.....

[@jessicahavens-ziebarth9409]

I thought it was a bit of short smooth feathers. Parrots have short feathers at the base of the beak.

There is a couple, sometimes one or two more, I think Ravens but maybe Crows that hang-out in my yard & others' yards in my neighborhood during certain times of the day. Whenever there's two of them together in my yard I usually call out to them & say "Hi" like a child lol & call them Hugin & Munin.

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

I have a mated pair of crows and their current baby come by my window to check my buildings dumpster twice per day too. They are hilarious to watch. They have actually started gathering in a different place because they caught me watching them too many times. They literally untied the prayer flags from one of my balconies so I feel entitled to the free entertainment but in typical crow fashion they do what they want heh heh

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!
