Raven Rock
Приєднався 11 сер 2012
Meet Victor and Anne! This pair of ravens arrived on our farm in early 2024. I've been slowly befriending them through everyone's favorite medium - FOOD! I bring them excess eggs from the chicken coop every morning, among other goodies, and in exchange they have been keeping the hawks away from my flock.
Despite their reputation, ravens are not even remotely ominous beings. Quite the opposite. Honestly, they are total goofballs! And their intelligence is astounding.
So, if you see a raven, say hi! Maybe you'll make a new friend :)

Ravens narrowly escape hawk's talons - TWICE! {2024} 4K
This hawk has it out for the ravens! In his defense, this was his territory first and the ravens have been pushing him out... a very good thing for our chickens, but certainly has him mad.
The good news is that this video was taken about a month ago. Afterwards, we adjusted our feeding schedule to prevent further attacks and haven't seen him much since. Their battles seem to be isolated back to the skies again.

Daring each other to steal the Raven's food, these Crow Bros are clearly too scared and quickly scatter when he shows up. Although it seems one little bro is a bit braver on his own... (Video captured in 4K using a trail camera)

Do Ravens Prefer Certain Colored Foods? {2024} 4K
Переглядів 5772 місяці тому
When it comes to food, do ravens prefer certain colors over others? I've been giving Victor and Anne a variety of different colored chicken eggs each day and they certainly seems to have a preference! They also aren't afraid of a challenge if it means getting to their favorite colored eggs. I've been creating harder and harder puzzles for them to solve and so far they've conquered them all! Mee...
Raven Puzzle! Can He Find the Hidden Egg? {2024} HD
Переглядів 5132 місяці тому
Ravens love puzzles and my neighbor's dog apparently loves eggs, so I've started hiding the chicken eggs for the ravens to find instead of just leaving them out in the open. For this first run, I simply tucked them under a stack of twigs. Victor were a little flustered at first, but eventually got the job done! I plan to make things more complicated next time. If you have any suggestions leave ...

Two chill minutes of Victor enjoying his morning snackies... much to the annoyance of a murder of crows fussing from the trees above. They cawed up quite the storm! I have not seen Anne in a couple weeks, so hoping that means we'll be seeing baby ravens soon! Meet Victor and Anne!

Meet our boy, Victor! Isn't he handsome?! His lady, Anne, has been busy on the nest the past few weeks, so hoping that means we'll see some baby ravens soon. He's been stopping by at least twice a day for snacks - usually right after dawn and just before dusk. He's a total goofball... don't think I've seen anyone bounce with as much happiness as he does when he sees food! lol As a little backgr...
Ravens LOVE Chicken Eggs! {2024} HD

Ever wonder how to attract ravens? Chicken eggs! I decided to set up a trail camera and put a couple eggs from my chicken coop on this rock. This guy showed up almost immediately! We've since named him Victor and his lady friend is Anne. We haven't seen her for a while, so hoping that means there will be baby ravens coming soon! NOTE: I'm still learning video editing... the way I clipped it mak...
lovely
You should feed all of them
Ravens are usually in groups of two, so they would be- in case of danger for their offspring- very well able to fight the hawk. They are 1000 x smarter anyway
Wow huh?
Aren't hawks & ravens (mature adults at least) about evenly matched in size? Ravens are a lot smarter, look how one of them was using the table top for cover. I agree, it must be about territory, or else that hawk wanted some of that food. Maybe it's really hungry 'cause it can't get the chickens?
not about territory ...this is hunting crows, at least training...one day he will catch one...of their youngsters, i told you so ....
I think it's a bit of both. This was the hawk's territory for years until the ravens crashed the party. They have been pushing the hawks out for the last 6 months or so, which we wanted because of our chickens. This video was from a month ago and it did make me worry, so I adjusted our feeding schedule to be less predictable. He hasn't bothered them since - although I do see the occasional turf war up in the skies. That's pretty normal, though.
@@Raven_Rock you already did what you can do ;) welldone
It's about territory most of the time or the hawk sees them as possible food.
Lol
screaming, noisy, and rude like a proper corvid teen
Beautiful thanks for sharing ❤😅
he is not a good father :D but yes, the younger birds have mostly still bluish eyes and their inner mouth stays pink until they are around 2 years old actually. so if a bird has no visible pink any more, it is older than 2 for sure. but the babies are just too cute.
He is definitely not winning any Dad of the Year awards, lol Thanks for the explanation on the inside of their beaks :)
💓 🤗
One is telling the other that this tastes better than the pizza he found on the road.
They're always around me here, and it was the same way in London around the hotel. The other day sitting outside, a small young one started hopping towards me, but then changed its mind. Another novelty in my life as of years ago.
Very nice video :) Er det norsk? ^^
Love birds and love corvids. Great film.
cute dinosaur couple
I have a group of Ravens they come to visit me.
They are so damned cute!!! I love these beautiful, magnificent creatures. They are like shadows that dance and roam the lands, bestowing us with their intelligence and grace everywhere they appear.
Hello to you beautiful feathered babies❤❤❤❤
They are clearly very intelligent. Having a conversation about their days and their children. They are parents, parents to all of us. We are their children.
Fun to see them up close, I live with crows and ravens in southern Appalachia - thanks!!
Gronk gronk ❤❤
Best creatures in the world, monogamously mating for life, contrary to humans
Crow are awesome, thk for the video
❤😊❤
He's taking all the food to his nest..lol
Great table talk.
Sounds like Marge Simpson.
So glad I stumbled across your channel. I am in the early stages of learning about the crows that visit us daily. I'm a city gal who moved to the mountains, Gods country 😊
I gathered from that conversation, that the Male crow is nagged as much by his Female, and has as long a "Honey Do List," as we Human Males do! 😁
I would image is the male who is doing the talk because of his voice. Lovely couple !.
We used to have a raven couple that nested in the trees in the back of our house. They came for years to this spot to have their babies. It's been so interesting to see this and to hear these smart birds! The pair taught their babies raven talk and that was fascinating! We haven't seen them in a couple of years now but for a while it was so neat to have them there doing their raven thing!! 😊❤❤
I smiled seeing this. We have a Raven pair who use a cedar tree in our garden on and off and they chat to each other. Its amazing.
"Ward, I'm worried about the Beav."
Birds are some of the most wholesome creatures on earth ❤
Thank you I love ravens ... and the decor is in perfect harmony with those mysterious birds !.
A no-drama meal! So nice to see!
Talking with food in their mouths... tsk tsk tsk.
Translation: Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, mmmm, nom, nom nom, nom, nom. Adios!
Cute!❤

Lovely short video, found you on my homepage and came to make a new connection.
I’ve been feeding about 50 ravens every morning during the winter, for about 20 years. The first snowfall, they appear. They fly over a pass in the Chugach mountains at dawn. I love watching the couples drop from about a thousand feet, down into the yard. In late winter, they start flirting with their mates -feeding each other, grooming, and performing aerobatics together. After eating, they’ll sit together on large branches or light poles and nuzzle. “You’re cute.” “No, YOU’RE cute!” Last year, a white raven came to town. I’m just dying to see it🖤🤍🎉
Sounds wonderful! What do ravens like to eat?
My Auntie Nancy, may God rest her beautiful soul, used to feed the ravens on her driveway in Sedona, AZ every morning there would be dozens of them and they’d come right up to her fearlessly!
Oh to be a raven couple
Such interesting sounds. Great footage!
Thank you for posting! Beautiful scenery and very cute, cozy conversation going on! I love God's innocent creatures! Even the not-so-cute! They are His and they are beautiful and innocent! Thank you! 🐦⬛🪶🦩🦜🦅🐦⬛🦅🦅🪿🦤🦚🦜🦩🐦🦚🪶💜💙🕊💙💜
