What would you do about Walter in this situation?

[@budgetcoinhunter]

What _can_ you do? He's clearly chosen where he wants to be. Just have to accept it and love him.

[@AroundTheWorldWithEase]

He can't fly, so if he was in the wild, he might perish quickly. Idk about mating, providing for chicks and teaching them how to survive. Is that totally instinctual, or would he have learned that by his bird family, too?

[@3NC3PH4L0N]

I'd let him stay since he shows no signs of social endeavor towards other birds and is not really able to fly that far (i assume)

[@SweetUniverse]

I'd let him choose where he wants to live ❤❤❤

[@anthzug4329]

I would keep him and love him for as long as I was able. He's so cool and sweet.

[@frederickthesquirrel]

"He's a wild bird" Sure he is. He lives in your yard, wakes you up every morning, asks for pets, responds to voice commands, and hides from other members of his own species. Totally wild.

[@jaidenthekid6051]

You can only consider an animal not to be wild when it's domesticated. Ravens haven't really been domesticated.. they're too intelligent for that. Pet isn't the right word. Companion might be.

The concept of a pet is completely made up by humans, the reality is these non-animals are adopted family members

[@nearthgg]

I think it’s because it’s illegal to own them as pets. They might be using that language to not get legal problems.

[@XgruenaugeX]

My grandma nursed a raven back to health with her mother when she was little. He had a broken wing. He stayed for the winter and left in springtime fully healed. And as soon as the next winter came around, they suddenly heard a weird knocking on the window. Jakob was back to spend the winter in comfort with his human family. He repeated this every year.

My grandpa had a pet crow when he was a teenager. One day, the crow got loose, so his mother went out to look for it. At one point, she saw some construction workers and stopped to ask the if they had seen a crow nearby. The construction workers laughed at her. But then a moment later, a crow came swooping down and landed on my great grandma's shoulder. She just said, "There you are." to the crow and left, leaving the construction workers speechless. I believe they had that crow for many years.

The friendship with the dog makes sense. In the wild, ravens and wolves would hunt together and develop friendships, so it could be an instinctual thing where your raven just choose your dog as his best friend. The behaviors of how your dog and raven interact do sorta seem similar to videos I've seen of how ravens and wolves interact when they're having fun together. But your raven definitely seems genuinely happy with you. Given how smart they are, the adult child analogy is pretty accurate.

[@blondbraid7986]

Wolves and ravens hunting together must look like something straight from Viking mythology.

[@barrag3463]

@@blondbraid7986 The ravens can cue the wolves in onto where prey animals are (or where carrion is), and then the wolves let the ravens pick over the kills and finds, usually after the wolves are done (wolves can break up the food for them) but it isn't unknown to see the ravens eating at the same time. That may sound like they just follow each other just for food but they do actually interact a bit beyond that; ravens will often watch and play with pups and harass prey for the wolves when they're on the hunt, and any animal seen harassing the ravens around the wolves will meet a very swift and violent end.

[@JamieSwitzer]

I'm torn, because I'd just let Walt inside, even if he's technically a wild bird, I don't think he'd be able to go back into the wild, he's pretty much domesticated at this point, and it almost feels like, borderline mean to ignore the poor thing when it's outside the window. You can wait all you like for him to grow up, but it sees you as it's mother now.

[@Empathy4Animals411]

Yeh, not happy with this veterinarian's treatment of him.

[@pennylane8318]

She raised him in the house, does she think he realizes that he should live outside, No, he doesn't'.

[@carlasainz95]

I feel the same. Walter will never be able to live out on his own, so why not let him free roam outside but come inside as well when he wants to. I wonder if it's a danger for Walter to come in and be around the husky, who she said doesn't like him...If that is the case, then I can understand why she makes him stay outside.

[@peterfoldvari1329]

It was a damaged wild bird, and just because she works as a vet, doesn't mean she has a duty to adapt it into her home. But who else would, what was the alternative? Birds are a lot to handle if you live with one, it's a real commitment. So I think it's understandable that she tried to raise him into some kind of semi-wild crow. It seems ok for the bird imo.

[@feedingravens]

I started feeding birds a few years ago, got the usual blackbirds, tits, then nuthatches, a pair of coloured woodpeckers, with the jaybirds I started feeding tiny (frozen) pellets (1-2 grams, 2 each time) of minced meat. After about a year, it seems the jaybirds have moved on, about a 100 meters down the road. A pair of crows have taken over, it seems more or less just two. But last year they got a "child", very annoying, because it was constantly begging for food (even though just as big as its parents), and the voice of crows is really not the most beautiful. And this year there is another new one, almost as noisy.

Easy to befriend birds. Assume a relaxed position and put lots of bird seeds around you. Do it in the evening before the sun goes down. Usually I put a blanket in a field or green grass and put lots of bird seeds around me. They will sneak and just don't make sudden moves. Put food in your hand and let them feed off of it. After 3 months you can pet them.

When he was old enough he flew off to join them, and that was that. Up to that point I'd rescued many lost and damaged birds, but the crow was different. He was far more intelligent and we had a far deeper connexion, right from the start. For the time that I had him he was very high-maintenance, but every second with him was worth it.

Lol @ Walt's mum saying "out of all things to bring me, he doesn't bring me any money " 😆 can't see NOBODY telling Walt's story but her , i was lol-ing from start to finish. Thank you GeoBeats for sharing Walt's story with us. Did brighten my day for sure. . .

[@bobby_c7671]

Awesome! Ravens are truly special among all winged creatures.

[@bobblowhard8823]

Walt has made it clear that he just wants to be pert of your family. For life.

[@batmanforpresident9655]

I love Ravens....GOD BLESS these people for adopting these beautiful animals!!

[@emj1768]

Ravens & Crows are one of the SMARTEST animals but most don't know this or care even! They can talk! ALL animals/birds etc. are smart if you watch them &/or spend time w/them! Side note Bees play for fun in their hives when not working so IMO its important to respect ALL life! Wonderful video! ❤❤❤

I know there Smart one told me He was Smart.

[@refreshh5]

Most birds are literally dumber than worms lmao

[@SOLDADITO76]

Walt's a perfect gift the has been bestowed upon you, feel blessed and cherish the time you have together. He is just awesome.

[@d4mdcykey]

I've had direct interactions with a group of ravens on land surrounding my property for many years and they are endlessly fascinating creatures. Once they get used to you they will perch and stare straight into your eyes for prolonged periods of time, and from any animal that is a very special experience you never forget. You KNOW that it is making a conscious connection with you and it is beyond words to properly describe.

[@rebeccaames2824]

I can imagine Walt having a family and they all move into the yard. She’s so probably right about that.

[@GeoBeatsAnimals]

😍

[@joeblog2672]

I hope Walt finds a nice momma bird to have a bird family with. That would be hilarious to see a train of birds walking around the lawn outside. Hopefully the birds wouldn't permanently leave given that Walt probably will be grounded the rest of the way.

[@jhenry0688]

@@joeblog2672 likely not to happen bcuz he cannot fly

[@actionjksn]

Walt should not breed at all.

[@Danuta628]

He’s been brought into the family and doesn’t understand why he’s been left outside- he’s attached and wants to be with his family. Please continue to love and care for him. Always be kind ❤❤❤

[@Polyphemus47]

YES!

[@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206]

Absolutely! They sound like he's just being a nuisance. I'd be happy to take over for them! I could've. Recently got a fledgling but the parents were getting upset, first clue. I wasn't sure if it was or not cuz to me it looked full grown, the feathers just looked too short which was my second clue. I put it back for the parents to take care of, figured they'd do a better job. Problem was, was that it's just hanging out on the ground, just makes me nervous cuz it can't protect itself.

[@grahamcollett1559]

He's so cute. And extremely lucky to have such a kind (and expert) benefactor. Thanks for sharing ☺

[@wesleyhitchcock4414]

I raised two orphans years ago and ended up modifying a window so that they could get in the house without us having to let them in. It was 3 full years before they left here for the winter. But they would only be gone for a couple months and come back before winter was actually over. This went on for another decade. They were awesome!! Smart and funny and best friends with my 98 pound pitbull(big baby). I miss them💖

[@christophernoto]

Years ago, back in the 1970s, I met a fellow in North Central Florida who raised "Parakeets" (AKA Budgies) for a living. I was way into cage birds, back then, but this man's own pet bird was a crow that he'd rescued and hand raised. That bird was obviously as smart as any dog that I'd ever met. It was an amazing experience. Thanks for your lovely video.

[@LostinMIA]

Love you Walt!!

[@direct2397]

My uncle once found a baby Raven and raised him. Believe it or not they can learn to talk. I'm pretty sure he could talk better then any parrot i have ever heard. It was almost scary how well he could imitate my uncles voice 😂

[@kroakie4]

For some reason I really love the name Walter for him.

[@georgekahn3313]

Yes, Walt is a wonderful addition to your family. A bit of a pain but what he gives in return is priceless. And of course, Walt lucked- out having you as his care-giver benefactior . A win/win . 👍❤️

[@stopdoingthat.hereletmedoi7320]

he was dying and you saved him. He is in awe of you

[@JockoFlocko]

Such a beautiful relationship, they are such amazing and intelligent birds.

[@wahn10]

Walt is adorable, and Walt's mum is hilarious. One of the most engaging narrations I've heard in ages. 🤣

[@mattstephenson8450]

Walter doesn’t need to find a family, he’s perfectly happy with you and your family..and I can see why ❤

[@-FreudiansLip]

He's a gorgeous bird!

[@TheAmazingHoho576]

What a funny animal! So cute and pure. Make sure to tag him with something though, in case he gets lost 🥺

[@AGandLife]

He has such intelligent eyes. He is truly a pretty bird and an unexpected blessing.

[@TeamCat1128]

You raised him on the house. LET HIM IN THE HOUSE! Poor guy just wants to be a part of your “kindness”.

[@GoBills1990]

Crows and ravens are extremely intelligent, I love em

Wah?!

[@robertarnobit5357]

Walt is a special bird. You'll be sad without him. Protect him from predatory birds. Thanks for sharing this video 👍 👍

[@bradmuehlenbein]

Love the raven, he’s a character! But can we take a moment to admire how beautiful that dog is!

[@leenett]

Mouse is a Pharaoh Hound! :)

[@johnstarter777]

They are very loyal and intelligent !!!

[@greenscarab2]

He's too used to you, just keep him❤

[@voyaristika5673]

I love the way he says, "What." This is so funny and he's so cute. ❤

[@amandacox4211]

I swear I heard him say "get up" through the window!! 😂

[@yooperlooper]

How adorable!!!! I love him

[@michaelguay]

My heart just exploded. Im in love with Walt. He needs his own you tube channel please i beg of you. My life is changed lol

[@granamiere]

Whenever she calls his name, it totally sounds like he is saying "what?"

[@lozfest]

When I was about 13 I came across a crow with a broken wing and took it home. I kept it in my room for a couple of days before building an open top pen outside in the garden. I called him Jack and he used to sit on my shoulder and got excited when I came home from school to see him. Sadly one day after school I went down to see him and a cat had been in his enclosure. Jack forever changed my view on crows.

[@adamhuffman3354]

Wow great story. Reminds me of how much I take for granted. Can’t do that anymore!

[@peterhiser7883]

I hate cats.

[@jaycee5968]

You are an amazing human. Thank you good human. I love the way he packs at your window, and then says guac guac! He’s so cute. I have an African gray parrot. I keep her trimmed, and I feel badly that I do it but I don’t want to lose her. She’s going to be 27 on the 25th of this month in a couple of days. Enjoy Walt. He’s so cool. He obviously came to you for a reason.

[@snuscaboose1942]

He came to her, because she is a veterinarian, the bird was brought in by a member of public concerned for the bird's welfare and rightly sort a professional.

[@aluj4498]

Very beautiful raven, shiny feather shows that he is very well cared for.

[@rb5078]

She thinks Walter isn’t a pet. That’s cute. 😂

[@prathibabhaskar8466]

He is absolutely gorgeous!! What a clever and fun bird Walt is 😘🖤

[@FranLu-qs2xv]

That was adorable! So glad he has you.

[@Runforestrun]

Well clearly he doesn't want to leave. He feels happy, safe and content with you guys.

[@KibyNykraft]

What a mess. They tie up to being caretakers (can u go on vacation?) The bird wakes them up every morning but they can't have him in the house (too much crap then all around, he is not going to use the bathroom). Too big bird for a cage. So he roams around the house and wakes them up every morning at 6'45... I would not enjoy that :) Sometimes better to leave nature to itself. A dying bird is a meal for the puppies of a fox mother.

[@suzettelilly9462]

My brother raised a Crow and named him 'Cawsbee'---SO smart--and my brother built a large floor to ceiling cage so that Cawsbee could sleep at night safely with lots of room. My brother did release 'Cawsbee' in the nearby hills; I thought it was a kind but not safe as Cawsbee was a happy/noisy/bossy guy we all loved and he was free in the yard daily. He seemed to think we were his tribe. I always wondered how the rest of his life went...

[@lucygreen888]

Adorable. Love the commentary of the vet caring for him. 😁😁❣️

[@DIABLOX322]

A raven called "Walter" armored core 6 confirned!

[@ashtonworth6288]

I'd keep him and look after him. Try and give him the best life I could.
