Goofy Ravens Playing in the Snow

[@mary-kittybonkers2374]

They’re having so much fun. I love the way one of them was waving its legs in the air. Ravens and crows are two of my favourite bird species.

You can be friends with other crows! Just say hi to any crow you see, give them a snack, and treat them nicely. They will spread the message that you are a good person, and before you know it, they'll give you shiny gifts like nickels and people's car keys! Lol

[@xray7908]

@@ararepotato1420 Actually, during the early days of COVID crisis, the crows in my neighborhood were suffering from the lack of dumpster dining. The restaurants were closed down, so the dumpsters were empty. Luckily for the neighborhood crows, I was not working, so I'd ride around on my bike giving the crows bits of dog food and other goodies. It did get to the point where they knew me and would follow me when I rode my bike. I live in a high rise condo, so the crows don't come to visit my house. However, when I lived in the country, the crow family in our woods did sometimes bring us little gifts. They knew which room was my wife's studio. If they had not gotten their handout for the day, they would stand out in the yard and watch her through the window. When she looked back at them they would tear off blades of grass and wave them at her, to signal that it was time for a snack.

Crows and ravens are both associated with death and bad luck, it’s because of their colours. Black is usually a bad sign (with animals ofc). Magpies have a similar reputation, being if you see one you’ll have good luck, two for bad, vice versa.

The fact that the one is rolling down the hill again and again like a little kid is the cutest thing I've seen in forever! I love it! Before we moved to our new home, we lived in our previous place for 3 years. Each morning during the warmer months, I would sit outside and eat my breakfast. Usually, I had either purchased or made a breakfast sandwich, or something with eggs. I would toss some of the egg to the variety of birds that dwelled in the area, and one day I was able to get them on video. Some had babies and were teaching them how to bird... I watched one of the mama's come up and grab some egg, and her babies (who weren't too far off from leaving the nest) would come running up as fast as they could, each one chasing her down with their mouth open, and she'd feed them. Then, she'd get a bite for herself, and then grab another piece for the babies and she'd look around, find one in the chaos of birds, and run up to feed one of them. We had a few different types of birds out there. These birds got used to me and the time that I'd show up. It never failed... I could see them in the trees or bushes nearby, waiting on me to toss out some egg. The video I captured turned out to be almost 7 minutes long, but it was so adorable, so funny, that I couldn't not take the video of them. Birds are smarter than some people give them credit for... same with other animal types. I'm so glad OP was able to capture this video :) Seeing the ravens frolicking in the snow, and rolling down the hill as a child/teen would, melted my heart this morning. Thank you, and I hope you're able to catch more memorable and exciting moments like this one :)
