The Celebrity Ravens of Utah Part 2

A great visit with Jade Goodell and Ogden Nature Center's Celebrity Raven "Cronk." Jade and I began sharing our many experiences with ravens a couple years ago. I was taken with the fact she had devoted the great amount of time needed to work with an older raven (about 20). I had to meet this wonderful girl who made a huge difference by making "Cronks" life special and meaningful! Of course I think you'll see she kind of enjoys it also!
But me being on the west coast and her in Ogden Utah, it took a while before we could meet. So, this last road trip in December 2019, Diana and I made a point to get to Ogden to meet with both Jade and "Cronk" at The Ogden Nature Center. Jade, and another handler Rich, were kind enough to share their time and tell us some of their wonderful stories about the challenges of taking care of a raven, and many of the other residents including eagles owls, hawks and more. Join us for a back of the house tour of The Ogden Nature Center, in Utah!
I must share, I especially appreciate Jade's work and dedication. Understand she volunteers her time, almost everyday, to make sure "Cronk" leads a healthy and happy life. In fact, Jade just received a certificate of appreciation from the State of Utah for over a 1,000 hours of service! Thanks Jade!
Jade just had a fun article written about her and how her relationship with Cronk has forever changed her life.

I have always known that corvids are very intelligent but I didn’t know the half until I started watching your videos. It is a wonderful thing to behold. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share this with the rest of us.

You're welcome Joshua. The crazy thing is that they are like flying toddlers that live for 20 years and more. And ever day is a little different, I'm never bored and on the flip side, it keeps me pretty busy, cause I can can never show "the half of it!"

What a great relationship they have and what a great bird he is. So smart and lovely. She is really passionate about the bird you can tell she does everything to ensure a heathy and good live for the bird, you know with all the surprises, puzzles and brain teasers it is great.

[@jiveturkey9993]

the bird sure does look cool when he's bowing his head and he's got the feathers around his legs poofed out like the wheel skirts on a Gee Bee airplane.

[@ciegacita]

thank you ladies for the interview

[@kurglekreutzer6344]

Again wonderful raven stuff - thank you! Also thanks for the extra links. I found the article about Jade and Cronk to be really deep and great and would highly recommend it to everyone. Jade's KZbin channel was a nice find too - I just noticed that she hasn't uploaded any new videos in seven months, so I hope that she and Cronk are doing fine. Cheers!

[@jadegoodell6226]

Cronk and I are doing wonderful! I have struggled a bit with getting permission to post videos to my own personal channel but the Ogden Nature Center has a KZbin where they have been posting some. kzbin.info Thank you for your kind words! :)

[@kurglekreutzer6344]

@@jadegoodell6226 You're welcome and it's good to know that things are going fine there for you and Cronk! Stay safe and thanks for the link, I'll have to check it out!

So cute seeing Cronk say God bless you and playing connect 4! 😆✌🙏 That's sweet seeing him get pets too. There's another channel I've seen a couple who adopt injured or inprinted rescue birds. One of their crows is in love with neck rubs too! 😊 I guess in the wild bonded pairs will give each other neck pets and groom each other too. ✌

Cronk is really cute (and he's rock!). Thanks a lot for your videos.

[@karenwilson9218]

My mom lives on Ogden. I hope we can stop by next time I visit her!
