Shell Daigle Shell they say the Irish have a gift of the tongue!! Well never underestimate the wit of a Welshman, and we do tend to exaggerate at times!!!! Keep well....
This clip of you and Raymond is hilarious. I have always loved birds, especially corvids, and am an Audubon member Raymond is absolutely beautiful and obviously loves you. He's so excited to see you, lol! I live in Atlanta in a 4th floor apt. and have a feeding station on my patio... assorted suet cakes, a good quality seed, fresh water. I also put out a "birdie buffet" twice a day for Blackjack, a sassy crow who befriended me 4 years ago. He caws for me every morning around 7:30 am and in the mid-afternoon perched at the very top of a tall pine tree next to my building. He won't stop cawing until I go out and acknowledge him!! (It is 17 degrees here...) He loves low sodium turkey hot dogs, cheese, UNsalted peanuts, cooked dark meat chicken, and whole wheat bread which I spread peanut butter on and press unsalted peanuts and Honey Nut Cheerios...crazy for that. Try not to give Raymond white bread as it gums up their insides. Whole wheat with peanut butter is much better for him.
John Richards It is a long story John, the Welsh Police are still looking for me, not like The Canadian Mounties, as you know they always get their Man!!!!!! Those silly Welsh Police are still looking for me!!!!!
I love your videos, I enjoy hearing your delight in interacting with this wonderful and beautiful creature. It is easy to see why the two of you love one another! Try to not pull your hand when he goes for your fingers. I have done this with birds and dogs. When there is no reaction, they will just take your finger into your mouth and wonder what to do next. Can't guarantee it, but this has worked for me. I think for some animals it can be a kind of test. If you are not afraid, then they lose some of their fear as well.
Ravens have real cheeky bury-behavior, if another Raven is watching they will pretend to bury it and then recover it and bury it somewhere else when the other Ravens back is turned.. I wonder if he was doing that to you, or if he trusted you... Or if he didn't consider you competition so just buried it regardless.. I guess you would have to setup a camera to watch it to tell.
0:08 *Raymond:* I like my bread tipped in dirt! Just like this! Watch me! 0:23 Just like that, alright? 0:26 Now take the bread and tip it in the dirt! Why dont you understand me!!? 0:35 *Raymond:* I am disappointed in you for not understanding i like dirt-tipped bread. * walks away * 0:48 *Raymond:* Now just look please, there is a pot of dirt, tip the bread in it! 0:56 *Raymond:* Sigh just give me the bread i'll tip it myself, dont cry if i bite you. 1:05 *Raymond:* SEE? THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE DIRT-TIPPED BREAD! You lousy human! 1:10 *Raymond:* Am i gonna bury it? No way! Im just tipping it for extra taste and to cool it down. 1:47 *Raymond* Sigh now my beak is all dirty.. *Kwaak* i think i just swalllowed some dry dirt 2:01 *Raymond* You could have helped me, i am disappointed in you. Next time just do what i say * bites * 3:25 *Raymond* Well you asked for it! But Wow that finger is so bloody get that away from me! I am amazed you can still laugh with that! Humans are so weird! My conclusion> Raymond is a bossy bird! But you guys make a great combination!
oh for fuck sake cut with the "give water to the poor bird" ... the man most likely left some water source and more food for the bird he was recording a 3 minutes video to show the raven and how he "talks", is not like the bird died just cause he didn't drink any water in 3 minutes... anyway nice video Sir
I'm Like you Merlyn. Love all the birds. Think crows get a bad rap. I feed them all big and small. Hope nothings happened to him and he comes back to say hello. ..
Richard T in uk all the ravens are in the Tower of London. If the all leave the crown will fall. They have their own guards. And the wings are clipped they have a great breeding regime 🇬🇧😍
Fox Howton No , I have not seen Raymond since late January. This time last year he brought his Mrs's to meet me. When they are about 5 years old they seek a companion and mate for life, so I would think he or she are looking after their fledglings, but maybe he or she got tired of me. I will try and find another another young one this June and start fresh. Putting up with me for 6 years is quite a challenge, Cheers!!!
Ah, he's probably away on an extended honeymoon. I'm in Yellowknife, too, and an avid raven fan. I love the way he mimicked your laugh! That really made my day! :D Hope to see you around town someday.

Perhaps he is asking for water with that odd sound he repeats over and over? There is snow everywhere in both of these videos so it might be hard finding a drink and the curious noise he makes does sound oddly like drops of water.
Ravens don't need humans to find them water... Ravens are one of the smartest animals on the planet. If there was no water to be found, they would not live there.
Hi, Merlyn! Did you give or sell this footage to a company called ViralHog? They are using it and claiming that they hold the licensing rights to it. I am curious to see if they are taking content without permission and claiming to own the license in order to them claim earnings on the original media. Thanks!
Hi Constant, yes I gave permission to Viralhog to use my video, and I receive royalties from them every so often, so I think we both did OK out of it, Merlyn...
Holy crap, did you lose this bird??? I swear I met this guy outside a Tim Hortons in Saskatchewan!!! He was making this noise, then he said Hello in a man's voice!!!
martha Neovard No Martha !! that was a relative of him probably a niece of his, goes by the name of Faymond, she is a a caffiene addict and likes to hang out at Tim Horton's!!!!!
If you don’t want the bird(who I love) to accidentally nip your finger , put the food in the palm of your hand. Why don’t you have peanuts in the shells for him, instead of bread?
Found this works best to get rid of them, sprinkle Boric Acid in the nest, it cuts them open and dries them out, in addition they take it deeper in the nest and it infect anything they come in contact with.
you're a lucky man, that bird is beautiful.
I'm laughing though.... you two sound like an old married couple.
I don't know who's more adorable of the two :)
Shell Daigle Me of coarse!!!!!! Merlyn
lol well I can't argue with that :)

Exactly what I thought. This video is lovely x ❤
Videos like this remind me of what life's all about.
That's the truth!!
‘Don’t you peck my fingers!’ Lol. Love it. These two are soul mates.
Lmao 🤣 “you’ve got my thumb you fucker”!! I love these two!!! Please keep the videos coming!! They’re the cutest!!

Love watching your relationship with such a magnificent creature.
The sounds he makes are beautiful 💜
Raymond's excitement is wonderful, you have a great bond with a remarkable bird.
That's so hilarious! I love ravens. They are such smart birds...Great video!!
I love you both too!! Hope one day every human understand the beauty of good relationships with animals and nature.
How did a Welshman end up in the far north of Canada?
John Richards It is a long story John, the Welsh Police are still looking for me, not like The Canadian Mounties, as you know they always get their Man!!!!!! Those silly Welsh Police are still looking for me!!!!!
+Merlyn Williams that said, if the do catch up with you, you can be the BIRDMAN of wherever they send you. Also, they like sausages, good information.
John Richards same way this Welsh girl did lol 🏴🇨🇦
Ha, I was wondering at his accent and thinking Welsh. I blame Torchwood.
@@Merlyn315 Heddlu still looking?
Dear Mr. Williams, your video is one of our favorites! You still see that bird? If yes, we want new videos please! :)
when giving bread to ravens and crows i hear its best to have a water source for them to dip it in

Raymond led Merlyn to the other side of the balcony to bury the sausages there! Never put all your eggs in one basket! LOL

oh for fuck sake cut with the "give water to the poor bird" ... the man most likely left some water source and more food for the bird he was recording a 3 minutes video to show the raven and how he "talks", is not like the bird died just cause he didn't drink any water in 3 minutes... anyway nice video Sir
Thank you!!! So many armchair producers and directors on UA-cam. Most have zero common sense .
One of the best videos I have ever come across LOL
I'm Like you Merlyn. Love all the birds. Think crows get a bad rap. I feed them all big and small. Hope nothings happened to him and he comes back to say hello. ..

This bird kind of sounds like r2d2
Love that bird!!!
Is this hagrid?!
Love this video! Ravens are beautiful, wish we had them where I live. It's great that you have taken the time to befriend Raymond :)
"Watch my eyes; Don'tchu go fer me eyes!" lol (around 2:37). Merlyn, I've enjoyed, thanks! You remind me of Papa Christmas
GODBLESS YOU
I love these two!!!
I love this video! I thought I recognise the landscape! Would love to meet up and watch Raymond if he's still visiting you.

+Merlyn Williams The two of you are comical!
This video gave me the biggest laugh today.
What is that sound, it's such a curious sound....
Raymond wants to bury whatever you gave him in different flower pots!
Corvids are amazing.
@Merlyn Williams - What wonderful and funny videos of you and 'Raymond'. But did I spot blood on your finger at 2:26?
I love these video's !
"Watch my eyes" ❤❤❤
This what could be described as a "Caw!" vid... 😃😉
You feed him finger shaped food and then get mad at him for pecking your finger? D'oh! ;)
OMG that's amazing x
funny stuff that bird knows where free food is
What would happen if you offered the food in the palm of your hand?
Merlyn sounds like a pirate!!
Now that you gave me food I’m gonna bury it for you not to steal it from me 🤣
You are such a cute old man 😂
he needs a dish of water to dunk his bread into......lol maybe a side of chopped nuts and fruit! lol

Another conversation with a raven...
Is it chocolate or blood?
A broad song list!
Perhaps he or she wants a sausage tree.
This is great Where are you from fella
awesome raven thank you
LOL - only Merlyn!

This is a riot!!! 😂
Nobody:
This raven: 💧💦💧💦💦💧💧💦💦💦
Sounds like it is saying get!
Hello Williams
😍😍😍😍
He speaks water
wants a boiled egg.
sounds thirsty.

Do you give it water?
Does he want water?
Lol
Lol you bugger typical welsh lol

its so frustrating because it's obvious the raven wants water. Not food.
The Raven doesn't want water. Do you not see the snow? Or are you just trolling?
Found this works best to get rid of them, sprinkle Boric Acid in the nest, it cuts them open and dries them out, in addition they take it deeper in the nest and it infect anything they come in contact with.
And another troll has crawled out from under his bridge
