I didn't realize how big ravens are. She's a beautiful bird, and obviously extremely intelligent.
I think you were thinking of a Crow , Ravens are bigger
I was thinking the same thing, I didn't realize how big she was!
They are self-confident and great animals🦅💖💜
... and dangerously delightful 🙃
Canadian Ravens are waaay!! bigger than Fable she looks crow size to me.The ones around my place are huge.They are lovely smart birds.I enjoy corvids alot.
She walks out of the aviary SO proudly after hiding her treats! 🤣🤣🤣🥰
Treats? What treats? I wasn't hiding any treats! You didn't see me hiding any treats. . . .
Tranquility conveyed through a 22 inch screen, much appreciated!
Same here @J Sari it is heaven for me. 😊
It's nice to see you and Fable again!
Tis indeed.
Ullo U2 😊 Lots o' love !
A lot of folks misunderstand how taking proper care of birds, domesticated, habituated to humans or wild, really revolves around safety issues. Fable and all your birds are so lucky to have such dedicated and knowledgeable people in their lives! And she sure is gorgeous with her new plumage.
"If there's anything Ravens love to do, is to stab things violently" 😂
New fave toy. Yellow stabby snak wheel!
It strikes me that your relationship with Fable is like a lovely mum and toddler 😊 x❤
Hope everything's going well for you over in the UK. We haven't heard from you in a while, but as long as you and your humans and birds are well, that's all that matters.
But Fable and you are missed. ❤
Fable's black feathers are wonderfully shiny.... Thanks Amy for being such a caring mother to your remarkable bird!
One always finds the best of mankind in these kinda videos, don't you?🖤
Good to see you and the family are well
I thankful that bird let be free not to be stuck inside all the time. Important is bird enjoy life.👍
Fable is a real CHARACTER! Never a dull moment when Fable's around and wants to play. She's beautiful and intelligent too!
This was so lovely! I really enjoyed this video. I love that she just bops around all day, doin her own thing. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it. She's a law to her own 😅
Always fun and educational watching Fabel. She looks to me to be very content. Plus obviously she is very well taken care of by Amy as evidenced by her healthy plumage and demeanour.
I've been feeding three neighbourhood resident crows for the past two years with hopes that one day they will feed from my hand. That may never happen but I still consider them my friends as they certainly know me as a treat provider.
The little hooligan is really enjoying herself. 😍😁
I have a family of wild ravens, I thought how cool ot would be to provide them with some fun things to play with, but when I looked up what they might like I saw that they are very wary of new things in their environment, so I didn't want to scare them off, but I love seeing them especially when they sneak up on the squirrels.
Fable looks beautiful and she's not violent--she's enthusiastic--lol. Those other ravens are jealous of her! Thanks for the video, Amy!
For people who don't know much about birds: long time aviary people and conservationists here. This is our knowledge and experience.
We don't agree with cages except for old and disabled birds, but birds LOVE a decent aviary. Your average bird flies as little as possible, generally speaking, because it is too expensive energetically. The 'wild' birds you see in the garden etc might look like they spend all day in the air, but that's just because you only notice them when they're flying.
The exception to this rule are gliders and specialised aerial hunters ie seabirds and swallows, because they are shaped specifically for speedy flight, don't flap much and it's fairly neutral energetically for them to be in the air.
Smaller birds are generalists as far as locomotion is concerned; they spend much more time hopping, climbing, walking and foraging than they do flying. They fly to 'do stuff' and that's it- it's not recreational. As long as smaller captive birds have enough room to fly a few metres and back to maintain their health, they are perfectly happy. It's much more important for them to have things to do, see and others to interact with because that's 90% of their natural behaviour.
Larger birds need extra exercise periodically, as per falconry, but generally speaking, hawks etc sit on their arses most of the day in the wild, doing very little. Notice the wild ravens in the sky were gliding on the wind and not labouring; otherwise they would have been fucking about in the trees.
You know you have a good environment for birds when wild birds install themselves around your aviary and spend all day trying to break into it to enjoy the life you're providing for its residents. Also, most domesticated bird species, even after a few generations in captivity, have lost any ability to survive without being pandered to by us. You can't just 'set them free'- they'll die in 48 hours.
There are plenty of shitty bird keepers and facilities and we support their abolition, but the good ones are positive environments for everyone involved, birds and people. You wouldn't suggest wiping out dog ownership because a few people mistreat them. Birds and people have 1000s of years of history together and without this contact with other animals, many people would never get their start in environmentalism, animal welfare and academic advocacy for any number of species and habitats. It sucks that birds need us, because they shouldn't, but people have made a world where they absolutely do, for now. Please consider all of this before ranting against captivity and zoos etc. Hope that helps.
funny lil birb
She ain’t that “little” lol
Amy, always a pleasure to watch you and Fable interacting. She's a funny girl. When I was a youngster, we had a little dog (a circus dog in her own mind) that did many tricks, then immediately took the treats and hid them in the corner, under the buffet, in plain sight. We would pretend not to notice for a couple days, then clean them up, only to have a repeat experience. She provided much merriment. (*V*)
Fable is amazing, so intelligent. People making uneducated assumptions on social media, judging unfairly based on their own bias as to what certain animals should behave like. They seem to think they know better than professionals and people who actually raise them their whole life. They voice their opinions like it’s facts, it’s actually the most disgusting part of social media.
Hi Amy, Fable looks well, her feathers are beautiful. Hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine. Boop boop
I am so intrigued by this bird. Now I see all birds differently.
Fable looks gorgeous and happy❤️
It's like a little kid going to hide candy in their room, so cute.
Thanks for another fab video Amy. I don't have Ravens where I live but when I go to my favourite bird watching area I feed kibble to the Crows. They are able to spot me arriving from a great distance and fly to greet me (or rather get their treats). Their eyesight is incredible. They don't feed from my hand yet but they allow me to stand a couple of feet away as they eat.
How long have you been feeding them? The pair I feed, George and Mildred, often arrive with me but the closest they get is 2m/6ft. I’ve been feeding crows in general for the last 2 years and this pair only since last summer on and off. I got more consistent with my feeding for about 6months ago and it seems to be slowly working. For the last month I’ve been taking water and that has been a big success. Mildred loves to drink loads while George fly’s of to stash all the food for later. This week he’s started trying to bathe in his water bowl (just head and neck so far) so I’ve had to get a larger container in the hope that he will get in and have a proper wash.
Here’s a link to one of my crow vids. ua-cam.com/video/H7p25IZfURA/v-deo.html
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Hi ya. I've been feeding the Crows (a group of three) at least once per week, sometimes three times per week, for about a year. I've been more successful feeding mealworms by hand to Robins and Great Tits and meat scraps and dog biscuits to Foxes. I shall be patient and persist in my attempt to hand feed the Crows. Thank you for showing an interest. Good luck with George & Mildred 😊.
i also have acouple wild ones i feed. they love hot dogs.
@@victoriafisher6934
I used to feed mine hotdogs, sausages, ham slices and cheese and they *love* them all but recently I found out that salt is quite bad for them. Mealworms and suet blocks for birds are crow crack and any unseasoned trimmings of meat, minced beef, chicken or pork, unsalted peanuts, grapes all go down very well. There are a coupe of very informative vids on YT on what’s good and bad to feed them. If I can find the link I’ll post it here.
Thank you for sharing this. Fable asking for things was incredible. Fable choosing violence and hiding her food was fascinating to watch but hilarious at the same time.
There's my day made :)
Always so pleasant to watch you two. Thank you for sharing the lovely Fable with the world.
Fable never disappoints in her being a star for the camera! I'm amazed you aren't having to deal with a mass amount of ants or other types of insects with all those biscuits she hides 🤣! Your poor elderly dog and being tempted with yummy biscuits haha! Oh Fable you are a very cheeky girl!
Boop boop ♥
Fable, my favorite bird !! This video is loads of fun and learning :)
ALWAYS a joy to see Amy & her animals. Obviously Fable is a fan favorite; I enjoy seeing your doggies too. Seeing a dog interact with a Raven is a rare treat!
Fable like "I gonna stuff them in until my crop breaks"
😂Fable and her hiding was brilliant ❤😊
Its harlious watching her get all her treats run bak to aviary and hide the treats for later.. beautiful bird
I love ravens. You have a wonderful friend. I hope your family life is well & that you are well also.
I hope you are well❤
Only two Ravens, a pair on one estate. She would definitely be upset about trespassers....Thanks so much for sharing!
😅💜💙😁
If there's anything that ravens love, it's stabbing things violently xx😂
"Boop-boop" has become something of a catchphrase in our house over the last few years.
Thank you for another fabulous (no pun intended) installment.
I hope Fable is well. What a lovely bird.
I love Fable and your wonderful channel! She's a really intelligent kid in a raven's body --- and lippy to boot! I'm in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and we have a lot of crows --- and the only White (not albino) Ravens on the planet.
white???
Sooo, Spirit Ravens?
In the sun you can really see the blues and violets of her wings, it’s so beautiful
It's so valuable showing birds going about their days. It shows what most people don't really know; how intelligent and sociable they are, and how high we should value their lives.
A boop boop full of love to Fable and family. ❤
Long time no see. Glad to see you back.
I like Fable’s gleeful excited vocalizations when she’s happy with what she’s doing.
I just love Fable so much! 😍 She steals the show in every video. 😂 It's wonderful how much joy she brings people. And my what a charmed life she lives! We should all be so lucky! Lol Boop ❤ boop ❤ Fable!!
Such a beautiful intelligent bird ❤
When Fable leaned too far and caught herself with her wing 😂
I'm so in love with Fable 💕🐦🥰💖 I love her little hops and running 😂😂😂❤🐦 I 💯 believe she has the best life with you Amy 💓💖🐦💗💗
I wish all the birds were as safe and lived like Fable 💕🐦
What a FUNNY character Fable is! So fun to watch her fill her crop and then go back to her aviary and "hide" the goods!
She brings alot of joy to everyone that watches her!
I love fable, I love the channel BUT OMG the view from your back yard. You are so lucky.
Fable probably considers the wild ravens to be uncivilized lol
Boop Boop ! Hello Fable & Amy ! Always glad to see my favorite 2 Brit girls !
That rock sure hid the treats LOL AWWW
We love that walking strut, Fable! ❤
That Fable is one amazingly intelligent bird Amy! You are very lucky to have her in your life. Hope that you & your family are doing well. 👍👍
Wonderful☺️☺️
Very fun & relaxing as well as informative. Thanks for having me over -
So good to see Fable looking so shiny and amazing. Couldn't have made it through the pandemic without her!
I always wish that she and the raven Loki could meet!
She's shy as ever. 🙂
My day just got better watching this. And I was already having a good day. Thank you!
My dog Lucy loves to watch Fable as much as I do. Thank you so much for sharing.❤❤❤
The way she rushed into the aviary lol lol lol
The bit at the end, where Fable’s bouncing right in front of your feet… It reminds me of a cat 😆
Shes just a wee terrier with wings lol
It seems no one's immune to the heat right now, even in Scotland! Great to see you and Fable again. The fence looks perfectly OK to me.. Does the job! Nice one Amy and Fable. KAARK! 🌟🌟👍
A nice raven 👍 I love to Ravens. They are very intelligent... I have lots of Raven friends. ❤
A real friend that can fly where he wants to go, and will never leave you.
Ravens are my favorite birds! Fable is too adorable! 😭❤️
booping in Scotland, cheers.
I need to get one of these toys. I have befriended both the crows and ravens at my job. The ravens prefer the roasted unsalted shelled peanuts, while the crows prefer the kitten food. Both will take either, though.
Fable is fine, no worries .
That's great that you give her some mental stimulation with that toy because I'm sure they really need it since they're so smart! Great job! That looks like a lot of fun too! Love the bright colors! I'd love to know if they can see bright yellows like that.
Thank you! Fable is such a sweetie, such a smart bird! Boop Boop!
the blue tinge in her feathers when the sun is at a certain angle is just amazing to look at. She is really beautiful. oh, just noticed, copper at others angles ... wow.
I want a fabble she is absolutely stunning
3 weeks ago this is great you have done so well with her . Now i will go to sleep and rest easy.
Such personality! ❤❤❤
I enjoy watching you & Fable. My brother raised a crow and set it free. But it came back to his upstairs bedroom the next day and then he would just let it come and go as it wanted. It would follow him to school and wait for him after, flying through the trees until they were home. Then he would set in the yard and play games with him. Your video brought back those great memories of my brother and his crow.
I recently saw a wild raven. We have lots of crows around here, but almost no ravens, so it was a nice encounter. The raven was at a parking lot where I parked and unlike the crows it was just talking to itself. I wish I had had something to feed him...
Get a bag of peanuts at the pet store or Walmart and keep it in the car so when you do get to see them you can give them something to eat (or bag of dry cat food). Ravens and crows love both 💖🐦🐦💓
@@missanella Thanks for the hints what to feed them. I think I'm going to do that. Not at Walmart (doesn't exist in Germany any more after they found out the hard way their employee rules don't trump German law) but at the super market that I did visit when parking there... ;-)
My mom tried to feed them but they didn't like what she offered. All the rest of the songbirds did, though. ;-)
beautiful place you live :)
It really is. We are very lucky.
LOL ! When you asked her what she was doing... I could almost hear, I'm not doing nothing, just like a kid. I love this channel 🌹🌹🌹
I've never seen a European Raven so I cant judge it's size. The ones in Canada's West coast are enormous, just as smart, and can be quite creative.
There's an estimate somewhere that they are as intelligent as a 7 year old kid.
If you treat them right they never forget it. If you harass them, expect a lifetime of grief.
Thank you for you videos i have a big passion for ravens and i volunteer at an owl sanctuary were there are 2 raven. If even the staff cant find me they know exactly where i will be and thats talking to my mates. They have taken a liking to me but just recently had a bit of a rough time health wise and not been able to volunteers as much. Because ive not been able to the raven are sulking with me 😂. Thank you again for sharing Fable with us
They certainly are sensitive birds and will hold a grudge of you're not fulfilling your part of the relationship. 😅 hope you continue to enjoy your volunteering
Wahrscheinlich waren Dinosaurier auch intelligenter als wir meinen. Vögel sind faszinierend 🐦⬛
Fable is gorgeous. Her feathers are glossy and looks stunning. What a wonderful life she’s living in ❤
🦅 👍🏻 🦅 👍🏻
I love her! I have crows and ravens where I live and I love them but they are always scared of me. They walk around and search for food on the grass and they are so cute.
So much fun seeing Fable being Fable! Does she actually get around to eating most of the bits she hides, or do you end up doing massive clean-ups? Thanks for sharing with us.
She seems to manage pretty much all of it. She's always been quite the grazer, little and often! I'm sure she has a few secret caches I don't know about 😅
I always love a new video of Fable the happy raven. Mwah!! Boop Boop!
looks like a very happy bird
Coyotes have been eating my stray cats so I know what you mean about having a safe place to call home for Fable.
Boop boop.
Oh no!😢 so sorry to here about your strays…I have many ferals that I feed daily. I’d be devastated if another animal ate them. So happy there’s no coyotes in Philly!
That's horrible 💔💔😭😭
Yes, many years ago, an acquaintance of mine lost one of her cats to coyotes--and she was right in the city (quasi suburbia, but still, the city)
Maybe someday Fable can meet @lokitheraven8703! 😀🐦⬛🐦⬛
Wonderful to see you both, again. Somehow, UA-cam hasn't been sending me your episodes. UA-cam shows I am still subscribed. Boop, Boop!
Oh no! Should be a few new episodes for you to watch though :)
@@FalconryAndMe Yes, thank you. I'll get caught up. 🤗
How Fable is doing nowadays? I am curious what ravens do at winter. In our street we have two crows, they kind of know me due to I usually hide a nut in balkony, and they visit me each day morning, Take a look inside, and fly away witht the nutshell. I often see them in the squere near by as well.
Thanks for posting this!
