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

[@MorganBondelid]

Perfectly said!! 😝👏

[@susancpendleton7684]

You are so lovingly patient and caring with her! It’s no wonder that she trusts you implicitly!!

[@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 😊

[@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!" ;-)

Discovering your channel and getting to meet Fable has literally been one of the highlights of 2020.

[@KatTheScribe]

Agree!!

[@brunosipavicius7867]

I loved to get knowledge of her this 2020. Thanks for this channel. From São Paulo, Brazil.

Right?! So totally !

[@martenw757]

I 2nd that fully

[@visionsdivineguidance8704]

Agreed! 💚

[@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".

[@FalconryAndMe]

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

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

[@tombrown8800]

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 !

[@cannibalbananas]

You're so patient in waiting for Fable to adjust to leaving her enclosure. My arm would've gone numb holding it up for so long

[@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.

[@julianschnabel8793]

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

[@freshandzestyfood5033]

I just love the way she kicks out her wings a bit when she says her: Boop Boop! My cockatoo loves watching her. How many thousands of people all of the world are saying Boop Boop?

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

Yeah, there's a posture to the boop boop for sure 😂

[@tiffanysmith8452]

Its become a reflex now that when my husband and I say hi to each other, we always add boop boop after lol

[@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.

[@cacoethesllc6372]

Amy or Fable?

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Fable's like "Wow, would ya look at all the treats laying everywhere here!"

[@jannadee77]

I love how like cats ravens are in the sense that it's on their own terms, in their own time. Very independent.

[@FalconryAndMe]

Not the brightest some times lol

[@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.

[@katiekane5247]

When ANY animal, especially one that is fully capable of living without us humans, has such trust, it's a VERY special bond. Some say animals don't love like humans do, clearly, they've just never experienced it. Thanks for sharing!

You could watch her confidence grow. Fable is so beautiful! This is a awesome friendship! Peace&Love💜💜💜

[@czechraiser]

Over a decade ago I walked past some large blackbirds, possibly Ravens, and was thinking how I loved them for their beauty and intelligence, then I wondered whether they noticed me; a few were flying up above. I then wondered what they thought of me. Just then some bird crap landed on my head. Well-spoken Sir Raven, we'll-spoken. I laughed and love them still more. Fable is amazing and beautiful.

My friend and I rescued a baby pigeon from a small out build building being torn down. We lived out in a very rural place next door to each other. His parents had a small building they didn’t use so we set her up there. As she got older she developed a closer bond with my friend than me probably because she was at his house and saw him far more than me. Over time she would fly and land on one of our shoulders whenever we came out and just ride around with us until we went back inside. Very smart. We taught her a few little tricks.

[@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.

Looks very much like a child, wanting to peek, poke, and dismantle everything. 😁 My stepdad says he went to some sort of tourist thing where they had a pair of crows. Apparently caused no end of amusement! They also didn't crow that often, they said "Caw! Caw!" in human voices because the visitors said that to them all the time!
