You two have come a long way together. Love the way your Pointer interacts with Fable. Very gentle and respectful.

[@georgehenderson7783]

Absolutely amazing how this dog and this crow get along so well!

[@gerryjames9720]

Really kept waiting for Fable to give the dog's nose a good twist. Was grateful that didn't happen, though honestly surprised 😆

[@puppetsock]

If I ever get a bird of a species that can talk I'm going to teach it to say: Birds can't talk.

[@daf827]

@@puppetsock Brilliant. Do it!

[@LazyIRanch]

@@puppetsock YES! That would be adorable. There was a raven I met many years ago at a wildlife rehab center who had been raised in captivity so it couldn't be released to the wild. They had him in a large aviary and he seemed very happy. I was so surprised when I was visiting one day and he seemed to remember me, and he said, "Hello!" He repeated that several times. Then I started to walk away and he cawed, "Come BACK!" ❤

[@nanwijanarko1969]

I think we can all agree that we have adopted Fable as ours too. Beautiful gal!

Oh yes, you are spot on. She realy stole my heart. Glad to know her charm has that effect on more people ;)

Fable doesn't even look like the same bird when she's younger! She really grew into her feathers

[@wendybuchanan2119]

Because of Fable I have a new found respect for ravens. I live in Maryland in the United States and our football team is named The Ravens!! I had no idea they could talk! When Fable fluffs up her head feathers and says boop boop it's so adorable. Thank you Fable your a great ambassador of the raven!!

[@7rays]

They’re called The Ravens because Baltimore was the home of Edgar Allen Poe…

[@Du-Masses]

@@7rays Poe’s Raven could totally talk “nevermore”

[@7rays]

@@Du-Masses But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered-not a feather then he fluttered- Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before- On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.” Then the bird said “Nevermore.”

Ever since I discovered fable the raven I’ve wanted to befriend the local ravens 🥰 they’re such incredible and intelligent creatures and I don’t think most people realize that.

[@AllegedlyHuman]

I encourage you to do so! I've had a fascination with corvids for years and began feeding unsalted peanuts to a small local crow colony this summer. It's been really great, and since they live about half an hour away on foot, it's really helped me get out more

That was a delightful 9 minutes. I have three(ish) small families of crows that follow me around the neighborhood when I’m walking my dog, a large white “arctic shepherd”. They trust me and my dog enough to land within 3-4 feet, waiting for little kibble treats. My dog pays them no mind, but I love the way your pointer is so curious.

If you adopt someone or some thing that means you must contribute. I'm just a fan and a watcher. I don't contribute. 😃

[@mamaboocee]

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv that's okay, many of us cannot contribute but did you know that just watching, liking, subscribing and commenting DOES contribute to the channel here on you tube? Likewise, watching a channel that is questionable and giving a thumbs down and commenting your feelings about it also contributes to that channel which is why I stopped watching certain channels about macaque monkeys in Asia. I learned that those videographers do not have the animal's best interst at heart, so I avoid them,, or report them if I end up viewing by mistake - but that's a whole other story! Negative or positive, just watching and commenting contributes! So, see? You HAVE indeed contributed!

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

@@mamaboocee Yes, I knew all of that. I meant by money. But, I stopped watching from the last video when she made the statement of millions and millions of years. I don't knowingly watch or support atheist channels. So sad that so many people choose to believe man but deny the Christian Holy Bible and Genesis chapter 1. "all of man's wisdom is but foolishness to God." 😥

Terrific video Amy! Even back then Fable was quite the character! Love how she handled her canine friend. Hope that all is well with you guys & that little one! 👍👍😉😉

[@lenwenzel7440]

I love watching Ravens; Fable is so interesting. One my favourites is watching aerial acrobatics. I remember seeing one doing a barrel roll for the first time, and I realized they often flew for the sheer joy of it. It's a funny feeling to realize an animal experienced life in way that was joyful and fun, and mischievous. Many animals play, and that makes them more like us than not. I love seeing you and Fable interact, thank you for the video post.

[@brunomarcato4591]

Moving to a country with ravens made me notice that too! Some of them obviously fly for fun, it's so cute seeing them play in the air! Also makes me think of how much of human life is still so animal-like! Among birds, ravens and parrots feel way too conscious, just like octopi for mollusks! It honestly baffles me that my philosophy teacher still insists animals have no minds lol

[@dracoelynne]

it's so neat to see Fable when she was younger--the lighter eyes, light pink mouth, and fleshy parts around the corners of her beak are all "fledgling bird" indications that I'm very familiar with from seeing them in crows--neat to see them on a raven. :D

Years ago I used to walk through a large forest park with a population of ravens. During my time there I found a mother/daughter pair and would spend time with them at their water cache and other areas around the park. One day I found the daughter at the top of a tree making sounds I can only describe as 'giggling chimpanzee' as she was learning how to speak raven. At some point I was able to teach her to fly towards me after giving a slow double whistle call. It was so neat to be standing in a clearing in the forest, give that double whistle call and she would fly out of the forest towards me, land on a tree branch above me and fly from branch to branch as I walked along. I miss those times. . .

[@ethicscannie5716]

Beautiful tale about your mother-daughter raven pair. It must have been so thrilling (but in a quiet way of course) to have a young raven fly to you as you called to her in the forest! 🖤

[@ethicscannie5716]

@@mk1gti I was adopted by a crow couple just when I really needed them in my life. They would come to my house every day, several times/day and would accompany me to the grocery store or my office, wait for me, and then walk me home. I was so honoured when they brought me their babies! Baby crows are a clumsy riot! So cute in their "Bermuda shorts", sitting on my fence, attempting to land on branches that couldn't possibly bear their weight, watching them learn how to negotiate their environment and have fun. And of course when they first fledge they are about twice the size of their parents! When they prepped to fly south in October, they brought the whole flock to me and they performed a marvelous aerial ballet for me. They kept coming back to me, year after year. Until a psycho went into the bird sanctuary next to my house and killed all the crows and robins! I found their precious sleek bodies just outside my garden gate.
