- Hello everyone :) I'm back after a five year gap, wow!
Look out for loads of new content on my falconry birds in the coming weeks.
However this video today is all about a very special bird of mine I'd like you to meet. She's not a bird of prey but she's very awesome in her own way and I am planning a mini series all about her.
Fable is a two year old raven. She is captive bred and I hand reared her from just a few weeks old.
Ravens can live over 40 years so she has a lot of time ahead of her to learn. She can already articulate over 50 words and noises and loves to solve puzzles and hide/bury her favourite things - more on that in the next videos.

*For those of you who have questions about why I keep birds...*
If you are about to write "SET HER FREE SHE SHOULD BE IN THE WILD"...please watch this video. It explains all about her:
• Fable the Raven | Q&A ...
I am a falconer. All of my birds are captive bred, not wild, but they free fly on a daily basis. And my birds of prey hunt with me.
The bars on her aviary are to stop her climbing. If I was to use square mesh she would climb up and push her lovely wing and tail feathers through the wire and break/damage them. Bars allow her to see out (she likes to stick her head out to see what I'm doing) but keeps her in good condition. She free flies too, however sometimes when I open the doors of her aviary she can't be bothered to go out. Ravens like what they know and to her, her aviary is her territory and safe space!
Our falconry birds have long lifespans compared to wild birds because we are able to give them a good diet everyday, vet care if ever needed, and plenty of free flying, whilst helping them avoid dangers their wild counterparts would come across.
Around 80% of wild birds of prey will not survive beyond a year old, and the average lifespan is around 3 years. Our captive bred birds can live well into their 30s and 40s, sometimes longer. My oldest bird is 33, and is expected to live around 40 years.
Falconry techniques allow us to successfully rescue injured wild birds of prey and release them as strong, fit individuals. Falconers spend a lot of time working with wild bird of prey projects conserving some very endangered species.

See you all soon!

Before you say SHE SHOULD BE FREE - she is!
If you have questions like...
- why fable is in an aviary
- why I use bars rather than mesh (so she doesn't damage her feathers)
- does she free fly (yes!)

Honestly she couldn't be in better hands than yours. ♥️♥️ Loved it. Wanna see more.
Thank you, I never knew I needed this.
Yevhenii Shyshko Yes!! Me too. That was so great!
Some people are just new to your channel so they have lots of questions and sadly some assumptions. Just refer them to the other videos for answers. Keep up the great job.
Yes if she wanted to leave she would.
Teach her to say "finally got used to this body"
No, "Help I've been turned into a bird!"
Absolutely!
😂😂😂
Absolutely love Ravens and Fable is gorgeous!
Why?
Lady: *Kissed raven*
Raven: *Woow*
*Everybody liked that*
Plot twist: The ladys name is raven and the actual raven is a lady

“Ravens mimic sounds they hear”

Uh oh
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂lmao
Greetin 🤣🤣🤣
Yea my raven started to imitate pornhub intro sound when my parents are around.
😂😂😂
Fable: "I am the Darkness".
Also Fable: "But I am cute. Boop Boop".
Imagine walking alone in a forest at night and then you hear this raven quietly say
“bo0p b0Op”
"boohoo! Are you scared yet?":)
Funny you'd mention that. We were walking near a clear cut here in the Pacific Northwest and heard, very clearly, 'Boop-boop' from a tree ahead of us. I replied and got more than one 'boop boop' in return. Is that a common vocalization for corvids or have people been teaching them?
@@PopeRocket Maybe it could be mimicking a sound they heard often. In Australia, they found that a lyre birds learnt to repeat sounds from a construction site and then went on to teach it to other lyre birds even after the construction was done. The "boop boop" sound could exist somewhere in the environment of their territory (or someone regularly feeds and talks to them?). What a cool story! :)
🤣🤣😂😂😂
I would shit my pants, when at night in the forest it would say: "gimme a kiss"
Raven: Boop boop
Lady: boop boop
Me alone in 1am: boop boop
me: *clicking noises*
the demon in the room: boop boop

hey! i'm a Norwegian, and when i was a child around the age of 4 and up to 9, my best friend was a Raven i fed every day. i named him Hugin from the Legend of Odin's Ravens, and he used to talk with me and LOVED being cuddled and pettet. i miss him incredibly much... my dad ended up shooting Hugin after he thought i was being attacked by him, when in reality i had hidden crumbs in several different pockets for him to find as a little game i like to play with him... i never really forgave him for that either as he did not accept that i called it a friend and he called me "Crazy for being friends with wild animals." i really wish to get myself another Raven as a pet so i can relive those good old days.
Edit: i taught it my name even. it used to give me a pretty jolly "Heeelloo Erik!" everytime i met him. i miss him so much!!
that's fucked up :(
@@StefanCreates what was? the fact that it was my only friend at the time or that my dad killed it?
Don't get another one as a pet. Get one as a friend.
@@sleazybtd if i could, i would, no doubt. but atm where i live i can't. no places for him to stay safely. when i get my own house tho then i can build an area where he can be and thrive without any danger.
Maaan, that's so sad 😥 what a pity that your dad was in that mindset... Although I think it's really nice that you had the chance of having such cool, "unusual" and loving friend, what a great bond you two shared ✨
Teach one to say, “Run! Hide! There’s a killer about!” Imagine a raven telling you that in the middle of the woods or late at night in a sketchy neighborhood.
Try "I love you! Feed me!" Think what it would do for the flocks. Beats being a moving target.
I can imagine companies teaching them slogans for advertising…
Outside, I look serious, but inside I’m
Boop boop

pssh nothin personnel kid
My great grandfather used to have a Raven called Peepers, he was free to roam but always came back to my great grandfather's house. Unfortunately the words he learned were of the more colorful vernacular since my great grandfather was in the Navy. When he passed, there was a news article about a Raven sitting in the downtown square calling pedestrians motherf*ckers and sons of b*tches. 😂Peepers missed him.
Oh my 😳 that so hilarious 😭😂
😂😂😂😂 bro... this is funny
Lol What a character your great grand dad was!
He was. 😂To keep the kids in line, he would tell em be good or Peepers will get you. 😂
Rose War what a great story
Honestly, Fable is so lovely to watch. I'm amazed how interactive she is. Thanks Falconry And Me for sharing Fable with the world.
You're very welcome ☺️
I have the privilege of taking care of an older raven couple. I don't think they've had much real interaction before and somehow they showed an interest in me. I am pretty much a noob at this, but the wildlife centre where they live lets us do our thing. I bought a big bag of toys today and i can't wait to see their reactions. This video series with Fable has taught me many new things so thank you Fable and Amy!
Awesome, I worked with injured/orphaned crows/jackdaws cleaning their enclosure and feeding them and there is nothing like getting swarmed by dozens of corvids. Made me feel a bit in touch of my Frisian ancestors who shared many beliefs in Nordic/Germanic beliefs
@@erwinj9697 That's cool. I'm Dutch myself and my sister is Frisian. There is something mystical about these creatures. They almost went extinct in Europe. I am so happy they are coming back. Bless you for helping out.
Ravens, the ultimate symbols of death and Darkness.
Fable: "Boop Boop"
I known now what to say when darkness and death will come ;)
Simply boop boop :)
That is absolut nonsens!🤣
That is the idea of the Middle Age.
Ravens are very intelligent bird, they are not symbols of death and darkness. These are only imaginations of people, these birds are wonderfull and intelligent and they are very social,
They take care of their family members.
The Raven have strong relationship and the couple get together until death.
Don t discrimenate with your superstition.
@@AP500yd As Heike Voigt correctly said: it's medieval superstition. Ravens and crows can be and are anywhere, not necessarily where or when something died. Ravens are opportunists, scavenging when the opportunity arises, which happened more often in the Middle Age with its frequent wars.
But a group of crows is called a murder.
@@heikevoigt7825 The original post was a joke.
Imagine a crow or raven learning how to swear, then goes back into the wild to teach other birds.
nightvisiongoggles1 😆😂👍
nightvisiongoggles1 and then they group up and collectively overthrow the humans now that we’re in social distancing o.o
They be all "fuck you!" to random passerbys😂
nightvisiongoggles1
“Aren’t you a cute little fella’?”
“ *FUCK YOU* “
My great uncle used to have a crow that cussed at people that knocked on the front door.
"She's about as clever as an 7 year old child"
Raven: Tugs hair and goes for a "Burton".
Hahaha comedy timing
My mother had a whole bunch of different birds when we were kids and this raven’s birdy language is communicating how much she loves her keeper. She’s playfully tugging on her coat and rubbing her head against her, with that low, long ahhhhhhhhh coo. Fable definitely is younger and more playful and is absolutely trying to get attention for treats and cuddles. 🥰
"As smart as a seven year old child" A curious child. With pliers.
And a voice recorder. And a megaphone.
*and he can fly*
Didnt she say "2 years old"? 😳

@@ActivEthan Damn, my hearing seems to be broken.
I once heard a "Hello" while walking down the street in my town. Looked around, saw nobody thought "What the...?" Then heard it again "Hello" I looked up to the source, and it was a crow. I bolted home and looked up "Can crows talk" just to make sure I wasn't crazy.
Fox Azure XD I was just thinking about how creepy this could be if you didn’t know where it was coming from.
wow
That would have been my reaction!
Yup, my Dad had a pet crow in the wild woods of eastern Quebec back in the 1930s and for sure
it could say things to him.
Boop boop
5 days ago, my wife told me that a raven had been hanging around the house all day and appeared to have an injured wing. So I immediately got a dish with clean water, strawberries, and roasted chicken legs and put it on a plate. While at work, our boys have been replacing the water with fresh clean water and an occasional can of sardines. Today, my son woke me up and said that now there are 2 ravens. I went out, and the new one was real vocal. It wasn't hanging out by the end of the day. But the one with a wing issue is still around. It can glide and fly off to a branch if it has to. But this is so cool. They are so beautiful. Thank you for this video.
"she's as clever as a 7 year old child"
Raven: "SHUTUP AND GIVE ME YOUR HAIR!"
Human: Finally managed to teach my raven a few human words.
Raven: It's hopeless. This human just cannot learn any raven words.
4:26 and 4:45 it seriously looks and sounds PRECISELY as though Fable's trying to get Mom to repeat what Fable is saying. It went exactly like when Mom was trying to get Fable to say "wow" or "boop boop"
Then Fable just kind of " :| "
You need to really listen closely and watch who is doing the talking to who
Boop boop
Idk about corvids but certain birds of prey, cats and dogs love when you imitate them in proper contexts, really helps in bonding. Perhaps there's something to it? :D
I was thinking the dude the plays snape
"It's been about 3 months, but I've finally got the human to say 'boop boop".
nice one
😄
LMFAO
Ha ha haaaaa....great!!
Lmao good one
The kiss followed by her 'Wow' just made my day a whole lot better 😍
I love her!!! Aren’t corvids some of the smartest birds on the planet? Also crows can talk too. Corvids are my favorite kind of birds!!
Pretty sure they are the smartest birds
The smartest group overall, Crows being the smartest and also able to mimic as you mentioned but Ravens have a much wider range of noises that they can mimic because of their larger size and deeper natural voices
@@JubioHDX It is interesting how well they can mimic both a higher-pitched voice for one person as well as a deep voice of, say, a large man. But they won't all do it, will they? I get that "training"/conditioning plays a big part in it but even for people who take care of multiple ravens, it seems like only 1 or 2 of the group will tend to mimic their person/s. Is that just due to different levels intelligence? Or is it just a social/personality difference? I've always wondered this.
Woman: *gives a raven kiss*
Raven: WOW
yes! that was cute!
“Mwah”
lmao this is so surpising
Everybody gangsta til the bird says “Nevermore”
LMFAOOOO.
Doood why's that actually funny?😭😂
Only someone who knows of Edgar Allan Poe would laugh at this👌

Awww Fable melts my heart. She is absolutely adorable and very very beautiful. Thanks for sharing x
I never thought a raven could be as cute as a parrot
Her: "she is mimicking me."
Her crow: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
sounds like a burp lol
@Mario C
My bad.
@Mario C Ravens are crows. It's a subspecies.
@@angelfish1506 Really? I thought both ravens and crows were corvids. Though in Sweden we call them "crow-birds". Magpies, jackdaws, rooks etc.
@@Hj4a It might be that crows are a subspecies of ravens but I'm pretty sure they're somewhat related.
I prefer listening to them talk over parrots, because they have a deeper voice. More human, which is kind of creepy in a cool way.
They actually just mimic their owner or other things they hear so the voice would match whatever sound or person they are copying.
@@timbenzel1751 yeah, it seems like parrots dont have the ability to get their voice as deep though. I could be wrong.
@@leestringer parrot owner here! Parrots have their own voices, budgie voices are low while indian ring necked parrots have very high pitched voices! Quakers have squeaky voices so it depends alot on the species. Ravens do have smoother voices which is why it's so pleasing to hear them
@@butterychicken5255 Cool. Thanks.
Budgies and African Greys can get pretty low lol
She is so sweet the way she shows her head to be scratched. What a cutie and so smart!
Love that Fable, years spent in wilderness areas has taught me how intelligent these birds are. Thanks for sharing, God bless.
Raven: *starts demonically growling as it attempts to open a portal to the void realm*
Bird lady: "that's really nice! Wow."
That's funny! 😂👍 Good one😎
🤣
I think it's trying to catch her eyes by acting like a kid who want's attention or something.
"What she's doing is mimicking me."
You daemonically growl around your birbs
Boop boop
Her voice is even more clear than a parrot. It sounds convincingly human when she talks.
SkeksisRule yeah I noticed it too
im convinced they r demons or sumn . past lifes of humans LOL
she's a bit obnoxious, lol.
You haven't heard an African grey talk of you think that. I literally can not tell the difference between our grey and my wife when the bird is talking. I have had many conversations with the wife over the years only to find out I was talking to the bird. Fable does speak pretty clearly. Crows are awesome.
That was so delightful to watch. Two wonderful beings interacting. Thank you and best wishes.
Beautiful bird. Her 'wow' was adorable 😊 Ravens are awesome. One of my favorite birds for many reasons. Intelligent.
Who wants to break it to Poe that he got it wrong? Ravens don't say "never more." They say " boop boop" and "wow!"
Lydia Kies 😂😂😂Crack me up!
ua-cam.com/video/rIX_6TBeph0/v-deo.html
"wow"
Hahaha! She has to start saying "never more" around her all the time!!!
Quoth the raven, “boop boop, wow!”
"Hi"
Raven: *GRUDGE NOISE*
lol I thought that too! xD
I really enjoy that noise. If u understand meditation and ohm noise. I think that's their pure noise 😉
my parrot does the same noise when he feels comfy
Antza2 so cute lol
teach her to say “Raven” like a pokémon!
in all honesty that is the most adorable thing and i’m in love with ravens now
Oh I adore her so much. This is absolutely wonderful to show what incredible skills they have. ❤️❤️
So Poe’s raven may have actually said, “nevermore.” 🥂🖖🏼
Especially if one hung around Edgar allen Poe long ago. /(3
This comment gives me life😂
There's a clip of one saying it somewhere on youtube I think
😂
Poe: Hey, when are you going to start talking?
Raven: Nevermore!
Trainer: "Boop boop"
Raven: *demonic grudge noises*
Nope.
Matches your avi
Bruh seriously.
That Grudge sound would scare the living daylights out of anyone who doesn't know
I noticed that too? That baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa was so long and it's the first it does of it, it is smart but yet I see the devil or a demon when I hear that!!?? XD -JACK
The bird is also saying “boop boop”
I think that was a purring sound just like what cats do..
Fable is so beautiful.... your not a crazy bird lady....you're a Gift to our home.
I'm so glad I found your channel and that you're educating people on these amazing birds!
"really careful what I say in front of her"
Burps freely.
When I was a kid, the zoo in the city my grandparents live had a raven that could talk. The bird kept repeating the word "*sshole". Imagine about 10 elementary schoolers yelling "*sshole" because the bird repeated that word instantly. Much to their parents delight, of course.
I would teach her to say "fuck you" while burping - that's where the real talent is.
@@jolly_39 Your grandparents lived in a zoo? Are they secretly dinosaurs?
@@tagrisaj3344 the zoo in the city they lived in
Tagris AJ dinosaurs? Why is that the direction you went?

Lol, that would scared shit out of me :D
"Help! They turned me into a bird!"
"WHY IS MY NAME SPELLED WITH A Q???"

The trust of a raven is priceless.
Everyone: ravens are the image of evil and death

lmao nice one 😂
Ravens are amazing survivors. I love them. One day a few hundred of them were in the trees in my front yard and on the wires, too. It was fantastic.
Not evil, just death. They are carrion eaters.
Teach a murder of ravens to say run and release them into a town
Corvid-19
"She's about as intelligent as a seven year old child" Pulling on your hair clothing and trying to get mum to pay attention to her...even her naughty behavior is just like a kid! Thank you for sharing this.
My cockatoos are behaving in exactly the same way, talking, pulling on clothing preening attacking the phone , just to get attention. You simply have to love and admire birds. They don't love us, because we force them, its not possible !!!their love is always freely given
Well an African Grey has a 4 yr old human level intellegence.
She keeps on scratches her head or her cheek naughty raven she's beautiful and playful
That’s ridiculous tryin to compare humans age with animals
We haven’t mastered any animals languages but they understand us
@@-M0LE that fact isn't coming from thin air though, it's backed by research and that is where it comes from. they have done many studies and experiments on corvids (more specifically crows and ravens) and determined their intelligence to be equivalent to that of a seven year olds.
She wanted your full attention and she was letting you know! *lol* Fable is such a precious little sweetheart. You go FABLE! 💗😁🦜 😁💗 Thanks for sharing
It's nice to see your videos! The bond look so strong between you and your birds. I enjoy looking people and animals sharing their lives.

My grandfather had a raven when I was a kid, he found him in the ground after he fell from his nest, mother didn't give a sht for hours, so he ended up taking him into our home (my mother divorced when I was born, so her parents moved in with us and we lived together). We left the window open, he flied whenever he wanted to, my grandpa built him a "house" which he'd get into at night, he absolutely dominated our cat, don't get me wrong, they liked each other, cuddled, but make no mistake, he was the boss, and the cat knew it. I loved the cheeky demon, that little bastard gave me so many incredible memories, he'd come out of nowhere holding a haircomb and sit on my shoulder, only to have my grandma come running after him seconds later to get it back. When I look back, it's just magical to have been able to be part of that guy's family. He had a foul mouth tho, shit, now I miss him
Edit: He's still alive, he's around 12 now, I'm 20, we took him in when I was 8, but since I don't live with my grandparents anymore, I don't get to see him often, but he's still as smug as always
What a beautiful story. I'd love to have a raven in the family.
Greetings from Munich
I have an old family photo from the late 1800s, all lined up in front of their farmhouse with a black “spot” above in a tree - my great grandmother’s pet raven. Was said to talk, visit and take objects at will. Influenced my grandmother so that she had a myna for years that my uncle taught to say many things embarrassing to the ladies.
Man what a story. Next time you see little raven say hi from florida.
Some birds throw weakest chick out of nest for benefit of other, who make dirty job.
Hello~
I had the pleasure of a pet raven for many years, one that I rescued after a freak thunderstorm, found just a juvenile with a bright yellow beak
Highly intelligent and a marvelous creature to behold ~thx
Many thanks for sharing this beautiful story about your relationship with Fable the raven. I've been wiping tears of joy from my eyes during the video.
Hello how are you doing?
She is darling. So much to learn about all God's wonderful creatures.
Imagine if Adam did not fail...we will be dressing Eden all over the world and exploring all of these creatures
If Adam did not sin, man, we would be able to spend thousands of years exploring all the bird species, checking out all the types of bears, and even finding a bunch of different giraffes.
@@bigchannel1320 Adam needed to fall or he would have remained innocent and would not have had children. So we wouldn't be here :)
@@NicolasConnault you do realise that god created adam and eve to repopulate right? if they would not have sinned and ate the apple, there would be no pain in childbirth, no death, and eternal life.
@@bigchannel1320 there would be no children either. They were like little children. No sex drive, and certainly no interest in hanky panky :)
Her bird speaks in the owner's voice!!! I couldn't even tell the difference between their voices 😱
Former neighbor across the street had a macaw on the porch. It learned the voices of many of our neighbors and would spend the day saying random things in those voices, including laughter... Occasionally unsettling.
@@ghiggs8389 that’s actually amazing hahahha
It makes sense that they would imitate voices, since they are basically mimicking what they hear.
Who else's voice would it mimic?
Exactly my thought! I was wondering if the owner was repeating herself or if it was Fable.
They are a bird, with a seven year old human’s intelligence, with wings, with a cat’s nihilistic attitude, with a death beak.
My policy: Never piss off the raven.
Befriend the raven and imitate its lifestyle.
@@JadetheGoober Be a big black bird that picks at bodies. Go around the world just picking at the bodies. Eyes are especially nice thing to be picking at.
Veli Karppinen now you’ve got it down pact.
Right! What could possibly go wrong?
Studies have shown that raven's can remember human faces and if someone is mean to them they can tell other raven's what they look like so they can avoid them.
A beautiful companion you have! So special is your bond. 😊
Thanks to this video I've learned so much about Ravens. Recently I spent a fortnight in a State Forrest in Washington. A mated pair of Ravens were teaching their yearling to fly the wind. Also the most interesting behavior that I saw was the "arial defence" classes. The calls and responses were beautiful as they patrolled and hunted. I wouldn't know that if it weren't for Fable!
UA-cam: Raven talking.
1.1 million human: *"INTERESTING."*
Why wouldn't it?
Well, yeah it is mate
i mean, it is

But does he say Nevermore??
I had a funny raven encounter a couple weeks ago. I was taking a walk through the neighborhood, and saw two ravens sitting on a tree branch, just making the normal grumbling noises. Then I heard a very clear meow coming from the tree. I stopped and looked, thinking a cat was up the tree, bu no, just the two birds. It kept meowing, and I was surprised at how realistic it was, and was wondering why a raven would be meowing at me. Then I noticed a big fluffy cat wandering in the yard, looking in the bushes and getting annoyed trying to find where the other cat was. It seemed clear that the raven was doing it just to annoy the cat haha, made me laugh.
Yes! They will absolutely do this!!
God bless
Elaine Hill yes, ravens love to tease!
Hilarious, Thanks!
when i'm on the balcony and i see a cat, i always start meowing like they do when in heat and without fail they always start to run near my voice and start meowing back !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually, I did not know ravens could speak. This bird is really amazing! And so are you for caring for these birds so well. Blessings! Boop boop!!
Enjoyed every second of it!
Fable: Practices black metal vocals*
Also Fable: *boop boop*
A raven doing metal growls is as metal as it gets.
When I was going to college, I had to walk fairly far every day to get to class. Lots of ravens hung out around the neighborhoods I walked through, and they loved dropping walnuts onto the road for passing by cars to crack open. Every now and then, I'd go stomp on one of the walnuts to crack it open for them. By the end of my 4 years, I frequently had ravens sitting on the ground near dropped walnuts waiting for me to crack them open. Amazing birds, for sure!
They were gonna murder you
You were known as the nutcracker, in their flock.
So extraordinary to see the walnut cracking, I have seen this documented by scientists
I love that story
So you were known as nutcracker amongst their circles?
She should be filmed all the time. Love her! 🖤
What a fantastic bird! Keep the videos coming. She's a natural performer, and so are you!
Ofcourse they can talk.
They tell news to Odin everyday.
Nice
True
Never know that! A bit of mitology is always great:D
"What news, feathered servant, of the human realm?"
"Boop boop"
"No significant changes, I presume..."
Huginn: and they were roommates
Odin: oh my god they were roommates
Sweet Fable: "Hello! Boop boop"
Scary Fable: **grudge noise**
That was exatly that
That was the best part to me
I took it as a belch
If she did that in the middle of the night, in the dark, i would run!

I absolutely love her! Oh, and the bird too, lol. No, to be real, it is amazing, to learn that ravens can speak. It has opened up a whole new world for me. I've seen other vids with Fable and others, and she is the best IMHO.

Raven: Keeps pulling her hair and poking her head.

Anne Marie It’s only bashing if it’s not true
@@valiensr1037 its Not true Christians dont do that, Islam is having religious wars going on bestbexample northern africa
@@bendover2684
Islam does this, true. But my people lost our religions thanks to the wonderful evangelical opportunities slavery provided. No islam in america then, just Christians.
HOW THE FECK has this got to a religious argument! 🤣🤣
Still watch,n yall.the two of you are very special.
The world needs more people like U in it. Great video!
Did you know that In captivity, ravens can learn to talk better than some parrots. They also mimic other noises, like car engines, toilets flushing, and animal and birdcalls. Ravens have been known to imitate wolves or foxes to attract them to carcasses that the raven isn't capable of breaking open.
That's amazing....they are so beautiful...😯
Very interesting!!
That mimicry reminds me of one thing done by blue jays (also in the Corvid family). I've seen/heard and read about blue jays mimicking hawk screeches to trick other birds into abandoning the feeder or another food source if it's too crowded for the jay's liking, or when they just decide it's their turn lol.
They can mimic a toilet flush sounds??? That's metal!
I've read.. as far as intelligence goes.. Ravens are top of the list for birds.. as far as mimicry, it's the Australian Lyrebird... not sure how intelligent they are but the sounds they mimic are insane!!
Teach her "MEEP" "MEEP" from the Roadrunner show.
TechWizPC , Lol! That would be so cute!
Great idea! 👏🏼 😜
That be funny
OMG YES
Thank you so much for this video,we came across it last year when we found a baby sparrow..We love watching your videos,and all the birds you work with are amazing,and beautiful..Thank God for people like you,that work so hard to teach,and save these precious creatures.
How Splendid that I came across this channel!!
I have had a special bond with ravens since I was a very teeny child.
I have been speaking with and bonding with Ravens for so many years they are so very special to me XOXOXOXO I absolutely love this !!! ❤👍✌
Raven:Wow
Her: "Wow" thats a good one
Raven: *Demon noices *
Noises.
Get out haha
"wow, that's noice. boop boop."
@ὁ Λόγος correct
What’s a noice?
After you kissed your Raven, she said "WOW" in response" That truly was a wow moment! You totally gotta film more of your Raven! I loved hearing everything she said! She's had a real conversation happening with you a few times!
I'd be reacting the same way! 😂
@ Behaviorists have actually observed that birds are capable of contextual response.
Stunning intonation of that Wow
She's amazing!
@ we don't know what it was but it surely was funny
That's really cute, and "Boop Boop" makes me smile 🙂
You should teach it to say, “I know what you did.” So that when people walk by and hear it they instantly feel guilty for no reason lol
The way she rests her head against the bars, waiting to be scratched, is soooo sweet.
🥺💚💚💚
The woman: "she's mimicking me"
The raven: "WrOoOoOoOoOo boop boop"
Psttt noice..
That bird is a sweetie. And your work with those birds are special
She's beautiful. Incredible that she can be so docile around humans. I half expected her to pluck your eye out of your head at any moment.
Met a raven once, on the beach at kimmeridge, I couldnt believe the sounds that it made, incredible vocal control!
Speaking of sounds, trust me you dont need background music, ever.
They like to "act cute" just like dogs for food. So they make various cute "feed me" sounds. They are so manipulative that they even make that ugly crow sound to frustrate you enough to feed them if you are ignoring them.
bjorn dunderbeck Amen to hearing no background music. I find that, no matter how pleasant it is, it distracts from the person speaking; kind of like having 2 radio stations on.
This woman has a clear presence, and doesn't need any support. Neither does Fable! Cheers.
Other Ravens: "I am the symbol of death!"
Fable: *pulls hair* ""HI, BOOP BOOP
🤣
4:29 jk I am the symbol of death
She is absolutely stunning Amy! I just found your channel and I’m excited to explore it further. 🖤
WONDERFUL share ! Fable has a STUNNING side profile , and so SHINY too , she's well cared for and such a personality ! ------- YOU HAVE DONE WELL raising her , KUDOS to your Humane Nature and generosity of heart ! ------- from. Canada. J.
Teach her "Winter is coming!" that would bring fear in a man.
DeeFibben aka Sanya Estherian I Love the reference
She should say “snow”
@@ijeleo92 Corn! Corn!
One does not simply teach a bird to say winter is coming. 🤣
Quoth the Raven, "boop boop!"
As a kid, my dad worked at the zoo and they had a lost, pet magpie that someone had brought in. It could say dozens of thing in different voices and languages. It was quite impressive how many things it could say. I recall it saying thins like, "Polly want a cracker?" in a woman's voice and in a deep man's voice, "como sava?".
It's funny to think that parrots are known best for speaking, but they are nowhere near as good as most corvids.
"como sava" is in fact " comment ça va", french for "how are you doing"
I have a pet Hill Mynah bird. He can talk much better than a parrot, and also copy other bird sounds (something they are not supposed to be able to do apparently). When I was a child I rescued a baby magpie that was in the middle of a busy road. It was very underweight and sick and I nursed it back to health and kept it as a pet for many years. She could not talk, but would make the exact sound of the telephone, doorbell and annoyingly cry like a baby!! She was allowed to fly free outside and she found a mate herself and eventually spent more and more time away from home and then one day vanished. I hope she was able to live in the wild OK, and did not get killed by someone.
That's not true. Many parrots have substantial vocabularies. African Greys, and any of the Amazon species are fantastic mimics.
@@giovanna722 I think he might mean ability to mimic the sound. Parrots always say things in their high pitch parrot voice.
And yeah, corvids are smart, but I gotta believe parrots are smarter.
@TheGuardDuck Parrots can mimic virtually anything or anyone at any level of the scale.Check out vids of the African Grey "Larry, Talking on the Phone" or the Amazon parrot Brenda ripping thru a repertoire of Argentinian songs in "Esta Es Brenda". All on UA-cam. Corvids and parrots are both highly intelligent, but each has strengths in different areas.
I love the way she smiles!
This was a recommendation for me ~I can't wipe the grin off my face! You're both adorable! I 💘 love Ravens and Falconry! (Former Falconer myself) I'm totally subscribing to you!
