Some people have good intentions. Other people see someone on the internet who must be wrong and since they feel powerless in their own lives they pick on The Person Who Is Doing Wrong anonymously to feel more powerful. It’s so clear Fable is loved and expertly kept. I mean, really?
It's bizarre to me that anyone could look at Fable and think she's in any way mistreated. We should all be as fortunate as Fable!! She lives a charmed life. She's obviously very loved and superbly cared for. What a gorgeous, adorable bird she is! And your homestead is stunning as well. Thank you, Amy!
There are people out there who go out of their way to find things to be offended at then they insist on trying to bully everyone who does not agree with their stupid opinions. Delete and block is the only solution to these fools.
Its just a bunch of do gooders who think humans should not have pets. Sure its thier own opinion and they have every right to sound and act like an idiot. I just would not reply to the critics.
Facts! If Fable was in anyway stressed she would pluck her plumage off and you'd see gaps in her feathers and she'd have sores. Sores don't heal well on birds. Fable is very well loved and cared for ❤️
You only realise how big she is when you see her outside. She is obviously free to go where she wants and she chooses to be with you. That speaks volumes for the way you care for her and all your birds. You have opened my eyes to the world of falconry. You explain things so clearly and your filming is excellent. All this and looking after a baby too. Thank you xx
Yes, Ravens are large birds. I remember this many years ago (1987) while lying reading (probably Douglas Adams) on the grass in Regents Park on a summers evening. A raven landed quite close to my feet and seemed to be taking a serious interest in me. I made an encouraging noise at it, (as you do), and it hopped closer. Well at this point I think, ‘blimey they’re a lot bigger close up’ (I know-Duh). I think I actually spoke to it then and I also noticed that other people who were enjoying the evening air were watching this exchange with amusement. So it hopped even closer and was now only a couple of feet away. Brief images of a particular Alfred Hitchcock film flashed across my mind as I thought, now what? As I sat up, it came even closer, so I stood up quickly and instead of being spooked as I expected, it actually moved right next to my foot and pecked at my shoe laces. Anyone who’s ever dropped something hard onto the top of their foot will know that it can hurt, as did this. I instinctively kicked out, so said raven flew very briefly into the air, landed next to me again, and this time managed to grab my lace starting a miniature tug-of-war with me. At this point these days every phone in the vicinity would be trained on me, alas there were no video cameras around to record the 21yo, 6ft tall, 13 stone soldier rapidly leaving the Regents Park heading for the nearest pub, having been beaten by a kg of Corvid. Possibly whilst thinking ‘…. A relaxing quiet read in the park… Nevermore! ‘. I still love them though.
@Madame d'Badger haha thats class,Ive got a family of Crows and they display the same pattern ,food and water I'll get shouted at ,but mostly for food though.
i wonder about that sometimes, i raised a crow named, Jack and i taught him how to fly and the things that crows like to eat, one day he flew off and didn't see him for weeks and weeks then he came home with a mate, they lived here most of the time and they had chicks.
When I come home from work in the morning, I feed birds, squirrels, possums and whoever else that comes in my yard. One day I noticed a ring with a pink stone in it on the picnic table where I leave the food. Then a plastic bead, then a ribbon and so on. Well, I saw my raven friend leaving another gift! Oh man I was so happy that I got another friend stopping by! He always leaves me gifts, ravens know us humans like shinny stuff. My little wooden box is filled with gifts from my raven. I love this little (well not so little) dude!!!!!!!! I live in Chicago.
Your long time fans know that Fable is being treated very well. A lot of armchair experts like to sound off online and make random comments accusing all kinds of things. This is the nature of online creatures. I'd like to see them post about themselves in their "natural habitat" then! HAHAHA Hope you and your family are doing well! Fable included obviously.
There's wild ravens where I live. A fair number, most of the year. The best of them don't look as healthy, happy, and active as Fable. She looks like a magnificent bird, not like an abused animal.
You rescued her, right? Then provided food, water, shelter, love, her very own UA-cam fans, AND free-flying! Her cage is HUGE! Whoever said anytime derogatory must be jealous. Fable has an important mission to provide peace and happiness via UA-cam. When I'm depressed, I watch you and Fable. I speak like her as well. Thank you for your service to humanity. Fable is indeed an emotional support bird. We all know the old saying... KEEP CALM and BOOP BOOP MuuuuAW
Fable looks absolutely beautiful, happy and healthy. I wish all these armchair experts would keep their opinions to themselves until they have done a little research and know what the heck they're talking about.
Doing research is not a forte of these armchair experts. Everything in their miserable lives is off-the-cuff and mean spirited. I'm kind of tired of them myself. BTW, Fable is beautiful with her new plumage.
Never felt the need to comment on your channel before, but I do think you care very well for your creatures and wanted to join the throng who feel exactly the same! Keep posting, keep up the excellent work!
I have a married Raven couple as Neighbors. They've been flying around with their brand new baby for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Just got through giving them a snack a little while ago. They're totally cool birds.
They're on raven nextdoor rn saying "we have a lovely human neighbor who's kindly taken notice to our newborn and has graciously given us food to help us through this time. 10/10 please bring them shiny things if you are in the area, they're totally cool humans" :)
@@mightymeatymech I've been feeding them daily for about five or six months. These guys are super cautious and they haven't warmed up to me much. But I understand that they are wild animals that are big and black and really really visible and vulnerable and some people around here probably shoot them. So they don't really have the luxury to warm up to humans all that much.
@@jiveturkey9993 Everything I've read about befriending Corvids is that it take a _long time,_ years maybe, and requires predictability. Apparently the birds are planners and want to know exactly when to expect the humans bearing gifts.
I admire you for speaking about the "ignorance" in such a calm manner. And instead of flipping them the bird (pun intended!), you simply do what you do best; showing the beautiful interaction between you and Fable...
You can tell how happy Fable is. The plumage around her head when she interacts with you is all happy-bird fluffy =) It's one of the reasons I love your videos so very much. And this one even came out on my birthday!

She's obviously happy, well cared for and healthy. Those that don't recognize that should keep their opinions to themselves. It' so nice to see you Both again! Edit: I'm Blue Black colorblind. I just realized how much Dark Blue she has in her plumage! She is quite beautiful.
I can understand why people who have never seen your videos before might be concerned (sorta, insofar as there are a lot of people with animals on youtube who really shouldn't have the animals in question), but it takes looking at 1 or 2 or your videos tops to know that Fable is well-loved, well-looked-after, healthy, happy, and has copious mental stimulation and environmental enrichment. She is a beauty and it is a joy to see her with you. The love and respect between the two of you is absolutely palpable and it makes my animal rehab/rescuer's heart glad 🥰
I love your raven and your privileged relationship. My neighbor raven who lives in my woods, is dipping closer to say hi. I practiced saying hi in Raven as Fable does. Now to try it out on our resident Ravens.
These videos are educational for most of us who have not come into contact with these sorts of birds. Why people find it necessary to express an opinion about something they know nothing about amazes me. They should just sit back and enjoy these wonderful birds and actually learn a few facts about their lives. I love seeing Fable and you telling us all the interesting facts about her, keep it coming 👍
She looks even bigger outside her aviary 😍She is a beautiful, obviously well cared for bird, wandering around, doing her own thing, finding things to get into mischief with 😊
Your true fans know what an amazing life Fable has and that you look after her very well. Ignore the negative comments, anyone who can’t see how healthy she is aren’t worth worrying about. I hope you and your family are keeping well.
Amy is a true educator. Instead of engaging with those with negative comments in an argumentative manner, she assumed the comments came from a lack of information and sought to provide that information in a calm, friendly fashion.
I really enjoy watching her just exploring her environment. It's clear she is totally bonded with you & is happiest when she is near you. She is completely content & is living her best life. Thanks for sharing her with us.
So lovely to see both of you. I could watch your interactions all day. I "knew" ravens were large birds but nothing prepared me for how fabulously fabulous Fable is - she really is a beautiful creature. The respect both of you have for each other is beautiful to watch. Fable is very fortunate to have such a human on her side and you Amy are blessed to have Fable. You have a wonderful relationship and it is an utter joy to witness
Shes beautiful!! wow. I just seen her singing & talking by herself, wow its amazing how they mimic sounds. My Uncle Tommy found a raven years ago, she was injured. He called her Blackie, and he made a home for her under his back porch. We live in the city, in Philly, but in his yard, you would never know it was the city, as he had a garden, rabbits, a little pond - it was gorgeous! But, He ended up nursing Blackie back to good health, and she never completely left him, she lived there for years!! She could come & go as she pleased, and she always came home at night time to go to sleep. Uncle Tommy thinks she was with her Mum & family, as she was pretty young & small, and she must've got left behind when she got hurt. He guesses thats why she stayed with him & never left. Its kinda sad, but he absolutely loved her & she had a great life with him! He ended up moving after she passed away. Now he lives way up in the mountains, on a nice amount of land and he has chickens, hens & roosters and a big beautiful pond with koi fish, turtles, and wild ducks & geese come around in the summer time!! He has a little dog & now a stray cat just came up out of nowhere, so now he has a cat, too. He is the animal whisperer! LOL
I love how she struts when she's carrying something 😁. She's magnificent and clearly well cared for. It was nice seeing her out and about just doing Corvid things. 🖤✨
Sorry to hear you've received flak. I'm going to assume these individuals watched one video with no context whatsoever of your practices historically, or have any idea about Fable's life with you. Their loss. You are so even handed with your approach to these people. Good on you. Great to see you and Fable today!
Thank you i was actually one of these wondering non-followers that just saw one video before of Fable all alone in her 'cage'..how delightful to see this as the next thing, because i followed your link of the pinned comment about her flying around !!
Great video!!! Sorry people were that way toward you. Up theirs. She looks amazing and so healthy. With you giving her complete freedom, it is clear she chooses you to stay with. You clearly car so much about her and know what you are doing.
At first, I thought she was a prisoner in a cage. My heart was so troubled, but after seeing this video, I have a whole new understanding of the situation. How interesting is it that you two have such an incredible bond. Beautiful. Thank you for showing us this gift you have.
You are so right, my dear, @Miss Sara . It is very good for us all to be humbled periodically so that we will remember to treat others with grace and kindness ❤️
I have never worried about enrichment for Fable or any of your other birds. I've watched from the early days and know how much time and thought goes into your care for them. It was nice to watch Fable exploring her yard and free flying. I think it shows her attachment to you that she would be with you when she could be flying or exploring. Her glossy feathers also show her health and care. It was lovely to see you again as well as Fable. Hope you and the family are well!
Armchair falconry experts - ignore them, they're ignorant and angry behind their keyboards. There's a lot of it about. You obviously know what you're about and you love and care for your birds. It's clear. Thank you for your videos btw, sharing the joy's been important to many of us during Covid.
Please do no listen to negative comments from people who do not have your knowledge of ravens and falcons! You are wonderful and the majority of viewers appreciate your dedication, your intelligent way of working with these amazing birds. Fascinating! Blessings and keep up the good work. You know what you’re doing - and you’re doing the right thing. 🙏🏻❤️
Your care for your birds is excellent! 💞 The people saying all those mean things just didn't bother to look at anything other than their own preconceived conceptions 😒
Anyone who has watched you for any length of time will know how much you care for your birds. Anyone who watches you with Fable, in particular, can see how enriched her life is, and how safe she feels exploring it because you are right there. It is amazing to see her in flight, and tremendous to realize how big and beautiful she is. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I always learn something, and I always feel welcomed back like an old friend. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! **BOOP BOOP**
I love the rapport you have with your birds. There’s so much respect and care, and you can tell that the animals are responding in kind. Fable is full of mischief and intelligence, and it’s obvious by her calm and alert behavior that she really enjoys your company. Thank you for allowing the rest of us into your fascinating and lovely world. ♥️
Your professional manner and obvious love of birds is what I see most. Glad you were able to set folks straight about the care you provide to Fable. She is a sweet heart.
I have been following your channel for sometime now and the love and care you take for your birds is beyond reproach. It is shown in the mindfulness you take in their shelters, their training and the upkeep. It is a joy watching your videos thank you for sharing them. ❤
I suffer with a CNS disorder, I’m in a lot of pain but one thing I’ve really enjoyed after being made redundant is learning. Working in digital engineering and watching all the videos you posted about Fable, I’ve loved reading about the many different subjects from problem solving and intelligence to learning about linguistic displacement. We see the love, care and dedication you show towards these wonderful birds and see how much they love you in return. It goes beyond that, you’re educating us, at the same time encouraging and inspiring us to be curious, expand our learning so we can all make a positive difference even if it’s something really simple.
It's obvious that the people who posted bad comments haven't seen any of your other videos. Fable and your other birds all look really healthy and balanced. And you always take a lot of time to explain your work, show how you take care of your birds, etc. I can understand that some people may not like keeping birds in captivity, but saying you're birds are not treated well shows that they don't know anything about your work (and haven't tried to educate themselves). That being say, it's so cool to finally be able to see Fable outside!!
Firstly, It's lovely to see you again! It's been a while, but life with the little one and stuff.. well.. you know what I mean! 😂😂 Secondly, it's quite obvious, surely, just from looking at Fable that she is the happiest bird on the planet! Some people just need to mind their own business!
I love this bird so much! My partner and I both love her. For several months now, whenever one of us says the phrase “what’s that?” In our daily lives, reflexively, the other one repeats it in a Fable voice. And we start laughing. It just never gets old. :). We were so impressed when we first heard her say “what’s that?” So basically, she is always on our minds even when we haven’t seen her in a video recently. Lovely to see this video of what she gets up to outside! I have told so many people about you and Fable and put them onto your channel. Thank you so much for providing such wholesome and cognitively stimulating entertainment. It’s such a needed distraction from so much of the junk stimuli that bombards us from the internet. Fable is such a marvel!! And you are so wonderful to her. The bond between you two is truly magnificent!
I live 17 minutes away from a pair of ravens that have inhabited a ridgeline for at least 15 years (eastern Washington state, US). Their vocalizations are so diverse & evocative. I shouldn't be surprised Fable has learned to imitate, "Hi" with that "come hither" inflection. Knowing how playful they are, Fable might even have some sense you used that tone with fun in mind.
It was very interesting (and cool) to see that when she's in the Great Outdoors, Fable mostly uses wild raven calls. I love her to pieces!! And I greatly admire you for the love you have for her and she for you. Just wonderful.
Oh Amy I am so sorry for the feedback. You have educated me as one f your viewers over the years. It does take time for the uninformed to understand falconry . It may be an ancient skill but many of us do not know how it all works. Birds are everywhere but we know nothing. Please don’t give up. It must be difficult but I look everyday to see if you post. I guess being a busy Mom and falconer you may wonder if it is worth it. Please know you r a great teacher but only to those who will listen. Take care & hi to Alfie
What an amazing scenery our dearest feathered lady lives in! And as always, it's so endearing to see how affectionate she is. She could go anywhere she wanted, but instead she'd rather be close to her bonding partner. I wonder what would happen if she was introduced to a juvenile male raven and if they could become friends.
It’s absolutely delightful to watch you and Fable! As I was enjoying your video my cat came along and demanded my attention. Then he noticed Fable and sat to watch her too. I love and appreciate animals. Thanks for sharing beautiful Fable with us. ❤
Fable you are beautiful happy & healthy & have amazing care ❤givers. Don't let the jealously & know it all types get to you. We love what you do & know your animals are well cared for. Thank you for all you do!
Wow, was just thinking it feels like ages since I saw one of your videos. Fable is such a beauty. Hard to believe anyone can think she's not loved and cared for. Thank you for sharing 🤩 Boop boop ❤️
Ahahah, she's such a busy thug, when outside... But a bit lazy 😂 Like "yeah, that's my territory and I got a lot of stuff to do, but I'm not coming too far from home without a snack" 🥨 😂 Fabes' coloring is stunning 🖤🪶
I love watching your videos, especially those featuring Fable. Lovely to see her strutting her stuff outside! Like your other birds, she looks well cared for and contented, and I admire your calm way of addressing negative comments arising from ignorance.
You take such excellent and kind, understanding care of all your birds, Fable especially! She's obviously super happy with you and her life. It's not just her beautiful plumage (which is always a good place to start on judging whether or not a bird is happy and healthy) but how she looks to you and for you all the dang time. What a great friendship she has with you! We should all be so lucky.
I’m so jealous ! I would take a friend like Fable over most of the humans I have known in my life ! She is so happy and healthy . That aviary looks amazing , I bet she loves having a safe place to come to . No predators to worry about and all . I’m sure you realize how great it is to have her around you but I’m also sure she realizes how great it is to have you around her . Best wishes for you both , take care and may God bless you both !
Thank you for sharing Fable with us. I know you have an amazing love and connection to all of your aviary friends. Don't let the ignorance of some deter you. Much love to all! ❤
Absolutely love seeing Fable outside, she's so big and beautiful. You're long time viewers know how much you care about all of your birds and your great falconry knowledge and skills. Glad you set the negative people straight but ignore the nonsense.🦅😊.
What a lovely environment for her to enjoy. 😊 The fact she's in such beautiful condition and so playful should tell people she's very happy with her living arrangements! 😉
SO fun to watch Fable just "doot dee doot"ing around, picking at random things, being curious! She has a GREAT life! and you treat her fantastic! She is such a character! TONS of personality!
thankyou..to Fable and Fable's Mum for genuinely changing my thinking from sad, to being very happy to be alive to see such a creature being so well loved. Fable really loves you too!
Thank you so much for sharing beautiful Fable with us! She is living a happy life. Thank you for loving her and caring for her. She has a perfect apartment to shelter from the weather. God bless!
I can never get over how large and lush Fable looks. I wonder if the size perception is partly because I don't usually see a Raven that close to a human face!
Our neighborhood is visited by a group of three ravens. When I come outside and they are about, The one sitting on the roof usually alerts the others to come get peanuts. Our shopping center is 1/2 mile away and I swear I see them in the parking lot when I arrive. They are fun and thank you for all that you do with Fable and other birds.
I've always loved Fable and her lovely, iridescent blue/black, mysterious feathers! You take such great care of her as everyone who had been watching your videos can see. thanks for sharing your videos!
Rather then simply switching channels, there is this faction that will instead concentrate on spending all their energy complaining; they are pathetic, do not give them a second's thought. You have provided us an insight into the world of falconry which is both entertaining and educational. Don't let those negative comments get you down. We love the common Raven and of course, Fable. We wish you all the best!
That was a great video Amy. It demonstrated admirably the caring environment you provide for the wonderful Fable. Thanks for taking the time too film it. TTFN. X
Your love and excellent care for Fable is outstanding, people can be very judgemental when they are speaking from ignorance 😠
Agree
100% right
and probably masking their jealousy... so grateful to get to see these videos
Some people have good intentions. Other people see someone on the internet who must be wrong and since they feel powerless in their own lives they pick on The Person Who Is Doing Wrong anonymously to feel more powerful.
It’s so clear Fable is loved and expertly kept. I mean, really?
Agree. Fable is happy and well looked after. It crystal clear that you love your birds and care about their welfare. So trolls back off!
It's bizarre to me that anyone could look at Fable and think she's in any way mistreated. We should all be as fortunate as Fable!! She lives a charmed life. She's obviously very loved and superbly cared for. What a gorgeous, adorable bird she is! And your homestead is stunning as well. Thank you, Amy!
True that! I wish I could be fed & watered; let out to free fly every couple days.... Sign me up!
Who said she is mistreated? She's far from being mistreated.
There are people out there who go out of their way to find things to be offended at then they insist on trying to bully everyone who does not agree with their stupid opinions. Delete and block is the only solution to these fools.
Its just a bunch of do gooders who think humans should not have pets. Sure its thier own opinion and they have every right to sound and act like an idiot. I just would not reply to the critics.
Right?! I want to live as Fable!
Fable's plumage is _always_ in amazing condition, a reliable sign of a well cared for bird 😌
Exactly. Same with humans and other fluffy animals. Shiny hair is a sign of good health.
Absolutely agree! She's looking top notch! 💚
Facts! If Fable was in anyway stressed she would pluck her plumage off and you'd see gaps in her feathers and she'd have sores. Sores don't heal well on birds. Fable is very well loved and cared for ❤️
Love the chemistry between you and Fable. It's clear she's well taken care off. Lovely.
You only realise how big she is when you see her outside. She is obviously free to go where she wants and she chooses to be with you. That speaks volumes for the way you care for her and all your birds. You have opened my eyes to the world of falconry. You explain things so clearly and your filming is excellent.

Her cage is HUGE! Whoever said anytime derogatory must be jealous. Fable has an important mission to provide peace and happiness via UA-cam. When I'm depressed, I watch you and Fable. I speak like her as well. Thank you for your service to humanity. Fable is indeed an emotional support bird.

New to your channel. Where did you get Raven?
Anyone whose had a bird knows Fable is happy, healthy, and definitely thinks you're her best buddy.
💜
She's obviously happy, well cared for and healthy. Those that don't recognize that should keep their opinions to themselves. It' so nice to see you Both again! Edit: I'm Blue Black colorblind. I just realized how much Dark Blue she has in her plumage! She is quite beautiful.
Oh yeah crows and ravens have gorgeous deep blue plummage that looks like a rainbow oil slick in the sun if you look closely
Fable making "normal" raven sounds is such a surprise!
Do you know that in the US bird's are not considered animals NY law I don't know if this makes them vegetables rocks or minerals
I can understand why people who have never seen your videos before might be concerned (sorta, insofar as there are a lot of people with animals on youtube who really shouldn't have the animals in question), but it takes looking at 1 or 2 or your videos tops to know that Fable is well-loved, well-looked-after, healthy, happy, and has copious mental stimulation and environmental enrichment. She is a beauty and it is a joy to see her with you. The love and respect between the two of you is absolutely palpable and it makes my animal rehab/rescuer's heart glad 🥰
Just walkin' in the grass, just lookin' at some things. A happy and well-cared for bird. You are the best!

These videos are educational for most of us who have not come into contact with these sorts of birds. Why people find it necessary to express an opinion about something they know nothing about amazes me. They should just sit back and enjoy these wonderful birds and actually learn a few facts about their lives. I love seeing Fable and you telling us all the interesting facts about her, keep it coming 👍
💚
Stephanie, sane and caring people like you - and many others in this comment line - are rare gems.
💚
@@just_bea thank you so much for your kind words, I am a real animal and bird lover and I love be taught about their habitat and lives😊
She looks even bigger outside her aviary 😍She is a beautiful, obviously well cared for bird, wandering around, doing her own thing, finding things to get into mischief with 😊

Fable is so beautiful! I have 2 ravens that frequent my garden every few days to collect the food I put down for them. It's fascinating to watch them!
Adore Fable ever since you introduced us to the wonder of this beautiful soul. Thanks for sharing!
Birds don’t have souls. Sorry
@@Astronurd Yeah whatever, Ebeneezer. Eff off.
She is a beautiful bird and is obviously happy and healthy.
Your true fans know what an amazing life Fable has and that you look after her very well. Ignore the negative comments, anyone who can’t see how healthy she is aren’t worth worrying about. I hope you and your family are keeping well.
Thanks Georgia 😊
Where did you get the fable and boob boob sticker/emoji?
@@MorgothAce6099 I got then from being a member of this channel.it’s one of the perks
@@georgia19801 being a member means paying i cant do that even if its not much i'm broke af need to save every penny
@@MorgothAce6099 sorry that’s the only way you are able to get the different emoji’s
Looks like it’s chilly out there. When she says/vocalizes “hi” she sounds like a sultry starlet. Amazing. Nice to see you and Fable.
You make me think of some sort of magical character when you chat with Fable. What a special relationship :)
Amy and Fable both have rich full lives, it's always a very special treat when Amy shares a part of their lives with us.
I love how she's a highly intelligent bird with an amazing variety of vocalisation abilities, and yet her favourite sound to make is "AAAAAAHHH!"
Amy is a true educator. Instead of engaging with those with negative comments in an argumentative manner, she assumed the comments came from a lack of information and sought to provide that information in a calm, friendly fashion.
It's plain to anyone who follows your channel how much care and love you have for your birds BOOP BOOP.
I really enjoy watching her just exploring her environment. It's clear she is totally bonded with you & is happiest when she is near you. She is completely content & is living her best life. Thanks for sharing her with us.
So lovely to see both of you. I could watch your interactions all day. I "knew" ravens were large birds but nothing prepared me for how fabulously fabulous Fable is - she really is a beautiful creature. The respect both of you have for each other is beautiful to watch. Fable is very fortunate to have such a human on her side and you Amy are blessed to have Fable. You have a wonderful relationship and it is an utter joy to witness

Shes beautiful!! wow. I just seen her singing & talking by herself, wow its amazing how they mimic sounds. My Uncle Tommy found a raven years ago, she was injured. He called her Blackie, and he made a home for her under his back porch. We live in the city, in Philly, but in his yard, you would never know it was the city, as he had a garden, rabbits, a little pond - it was gorgeous!
But, He ended up nursing Blackie back to good health, and she never completely left him, she lived there for years!! She could come & go as she pleased, and she always came home at night time to go to sleep. Uncle Tommy thinks she was with her Mum & family, as she was pretty young & small, and she must've got left behind when she got hurt. He guesses thats why she stayed with him & never left. Its kinda sad, but he absolutely loved her & she had a great life with him! He ended up moving after she passed away. Now he lives way up in the mountains, on a nice amount of land and he has chickens, hens & roosters and a big beautiful pond with koi fish, turtles, and wild ducks & geese come around in the summer time!! He has a little dog & now a stray cat just came up out of nowhere, so now he has a cat, too. He is the animal whisperer! LOL
He sounds like a wonderful person! Blackie knew she could trust him, so she stayed. It's so nice to hear about people who truly care for animals.
Anybody with at least half a brain can tell from 10,000 Mi away that Fable gets treated better than the queen of England.
Jive Turkey, look at bird bath
@@BirdBath1 cool videos
Queen of ENGLAND????
@@fallinbing7291 look at bird bath
@@fallinbing7291 lol
I love how she struts when she's carrying something 😁. She's magnificent and clearly well cared for. It was nice seeing her out and about just doing Corvid things. 🖤✨
Sorry to hear you've received flak. I'm going to assume these individuals watched one video with no context whatsoever of your practices historically, or have any idea about Fable's life with you. Their loss. You are so even handed with your approach to these people. Good on you. Great to see you and Fable today!
the "SJW mentality" usually has ZERO real world personal experience, and they show it freely.
True!
Thank you i was actually one of these wondering non-followers that just saw one video before of Fable all alone in her 'cage'..how delightful to see this as the next thing, because i followed your link of the pinned comment about her flying around !!
Great video!!! Sorry people were that way toward you. Up theirs. She looks amazing and so healthy. With you giving her complete freedom, it is clear she chooses you to stay with. You clearly car so much about her and know what you are doing.
At first, I thought she was a prisoner in a cage. My heart was so troubled, but after seeing this video, I have a whole new understanding of the situation. How interesting is it that you two have such an incredible bond. Beautiful. Thank you for showing us this gift you have.
You know what they say about assuming...
You are so right, my dear, @Miss Sara . It is very good for us all to be humbled periodically so that we will remember to treat others with grace and kindness ❤️
I have never worried about enrichment for Fable or any of your other birds. I've watched from the early days and know how much time and thought goes into your care for them. It was nice to watch Fable exploring her yard and free flying. I think it shows her attachment to you that she would be with you when she could be flying or exploring. Her glossy feathers also show her health and care. It was lovely to see you again as well as Fable. Hope you and the family are well!
Armchair falconry experts - ignore them, they're ignorant and angry behind their keyboards. There's a lot of it about. You obviously know what you're about and you love and care for your birds. It's clear. Thank you for your videos btw, sharing the joy's been important to many of us during Covid.
The cure for covid is corvid.
I love the care you give to them all. Obviously Fable is very happy.
Please do no listen to negative comments from people who do not have your knowledge of ravens and falcons! You are wonderful and the majority of viewers appreciate your dedication, your intelligent way of working with these amazing birds. Fascinating! Blessings and keep up the good work. You know what you’re doing - and you’re doing the right thing. 🙏🏻❤️
Your care for your birds is excellent! 💞
The people saying all those mean things just didn't bother to look at anything other than their own preconceived conceptions 😒
Thank you for all your support
@@wingsandwildlands theyll def s.u. if u let her have a nest &flerdglings the tail wagging prly means that too...
Anyone who has watched you for any length of time will know how much you care for your birds. Anyone who watches you with Fable, in particular, can see how enriched her life is, and how safe she feels exploring it because you are right there. It is amazing to see her in flight, and tremendous to realize how big and beautiful she is. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I always learn something, and I always feel welcomed back like an old friend. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! **BOOP BOOP**
All your friends are great but a video featuring Fable always brightens my day 🙂
Same. I just adore when we're treated to a new video, such a treat. We know Fable is so well cared for, and living a full and happy life. 💖
I love the rapport you have with your birds. There’s so much respect and care, and you can tell that the animals are responding in kind. Fable is full of mischief and intelligence, and it’s obvious by her calm and alert behavior that she really enjoys your company. Thank you for allowing the rest of us into your fascinating and lovely world. ♥️
Fable is absolutely gorgeous, wow, and she's added to her vocabulary. Loved this vid a lot, thank U
Your professional manner and obvious love of birds is what I see most. Glad you were able to set folks straight about the care you provide to Fable. She is a sweet heart.
I have been following your channel for sometime now and the love and care you take for your birds is beyond reproach. It is shown in the mindfulness you take in their shelters, their training and the upkeep. It is a joy watching your videos thank you for sharing them. ❤
Wise Canadian Woman, look at bird bath
We know that baby is WELL taken care of!! Your a doll and one of God's lovely angels! God bless you always and forever!!! Im amazed at what you do!!!
I suffer with a CNS disorder, I’m in a lot of pain but one thing I’ve really enjoyed after being made redundant is learning. Working in digital engineering and watching all the videos you posted about Fable, I’ve loved reading about the many different subjects from problem solving and intelligence to learning about linguistic displacement. We see the love, care and dedication you show towards these wonderful birds and see how much they love you in return. It goes beyond that, you’re educating us, at the same time encouraging and inspiring us to be curious, expand our learning so we can all make a positive difference even if it’s something really simple.
It's obvious that the people who posted bad comments haven't seen any of your other videos. Fable and your other birds all look really healthy and balanced. And you always take a lot of time to explain your work, show how you take care of your birds, etc. I can understand that some people may not like keeping birds in captivity, but saying you're birds are not treated well shows that they don't know anything about your work (and haven't tried to educate themselves). That being say, it's so cool to finally be able to see Fable outside!!
Firstly, It's lovely to see you again! It's been a while, but life with the little one and stuff.. well.. you know what I mean! 😂😂 Secondly, it's quite obvious, surely, just from looking at Fable that she is the happiest bird on the planet! Some people just need to mind their own business!
Honestly the time just flies! :)
I like your relationship a lot. It is pretty magical to observe the behavior of this raven. : )
I love this bird so much! My partner and I both love her. For several months now, whenever one of us says the phrase “what’s that?” In our daily lives, reflexively, the other one repeats it in a Fable voice. And we start laughing. It just never gets old. :). We were so impressed when we first heard her say “what’s that?” So basically, she is always on our minds even when we haven’t seen her in a video recently. Lovely to see this video of what she gets up to outside! I have told so many people about you and Fable and put them onto your channel. Thank you so much for providing such wholesome and cognitively stimulating entertainment. It’s such a needed distraction from so much of the junk stimuli that bombards us from the internet. Fable is such a marvel!! And you are so wonderful to her. The bond between you two is truly magnificent!
I live 17 minutes away from a pair of ravens that have inhabited a ridgeline for at least 15 years (eastern Washington state, US). Their vocalizations are so diverse & evocative. I shouldn't be surprised Fable has learned to imitate, "Hi" with that "come hither" inflection. Knowing how playful they are, Fable might even have some sense you used that tone with fun in mind.
Fable is so beautiful and she has the sweetest voice! 💕
I loved watching all of it, but especially you with her sitting on your shoulder. I myself have had lovely conversations with wild ravens!!!
Cheers Amy and Fable!! You take incredible care of your birds, sorry to hear about the negative responses.
It was very interesting (and cool) to see that when she's in the Great Outdoors, Fable mostly uses wild raven calls. I love her to pieces!! And I greatly admire you for the love you have for her and she for you. Just wonderful.
Man it wasn't until I saw Fable on the ground that I realised just how big she is.
Love your name, btw
she is a beautiful raven and your a wonderful pet lover!
Oh Amy I am so sorry for the feedback. You have educated me as one f your viewers over the years. It does take time for the uninformed to understand falconry . It may be an ancient skill but many of us do not know how it all works. Birds are everywhere but we know nothing. Please don’t give up. It must be difficult but I look everyday to see if you post. I guess being a busy Mom and falconer you may wonder if it is worth it. Please know you r a great teacher but only to those who will listen. Take care & hi to Alfie
Oh wow, she’s huge!!! The size comparison is very telling. ❤ I love her. What a gorgeous place to live!
What an amazing scenery our dearest feathered lady lives in! And as always, it's so endearing to see how affectionate she is. She could go anywhere she wanted, but instead she'd rather be close to her bonding partner. I wonder what would happen if she was introduced to a juvenile male raven and if they could become friends.
It’s absolutely delightful to watch you and Fable!
As I was enjoying your video my cat came along and demanded my attention. Then he noticed Fable and sat to watch her too.
I love and appreciate animals. Thanks for sharing beautiful Fable with us. ❤
Fable you are beautiful happy & healthy & have amazing care ❤givers. Don't let the jealously & know it all types get to you. We love what you do & know your animals are well cared for. Thank you for all you do!
How beautiful to be able to get this close to a raven and fable is an awesome name !!!
Wow, was just thinking it feels like ages since I saw one of your videos.
Fable is such a beauty. Hard to believe anyone can think she's not loved and cared for.
Thank you for sharing 🤩
Boop boop ❤️
I am just watching Fable for a few days, greetz from germany !
it lights up my days 😊
Ahahah, she's such a busy thug, when outside... But a bit lazy 😂 Like "yeah, that's my territory and I got a lot of stuff to do, but I'm not coming too far from home without a snack" 🥨 😂
Fabes' coloring is stunning 🖤🪶
I love watching your videos, especially those featuring Fable. Lovely to see her strutting her stuff outside! Like your other birds, she looks well cared for and contented, and I admire your calm way of addressing negative comments arising from ignorance.
You take such excellent and kind, understanding care of all your birds, Fable especially! She's obviously super happy with you and her life. It's not just her beautiful plumage (which is always a good place to start on judging whether or not a bird is happy and healthy) but how she looks to you and for you all the dang time. What a great friendship she has with you! We should all be so lucky.
I’m so jealous ! I would take a friend like Fable over most of the humans I have known in my life ! She is so happy and healthy . That aviary looks amazing , I bet she loves having a safe place to come to . No predators to worry about and all . I’m sure you realize how great it is to have her around you but I’m also sure she realizes how great it is to have you around her . Best wishes for you both , take care and may God bless you both !
Hi Fable & Amy!! So very lovely to see you both! Thank you for sharing a bit of your day with us!! Fable is looking Boobuful! 🪞😇💋🤗🥰
Our pleasure!
Thank you for including us in Fable’s and your life. I’m sorry you had to experience negative and nasty comments. People can be so hurtful 🥺
Boop boop gorgeous Fable 🖤🖤🖤🖤 Nice to see you again 😊
You and Fable live a wonderful life. You guys are so fortunate to have each other. That scenery is so peaceful. 😊🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing Fable with us. I know you have an amazing love and connection to all of your aviary friends. Don't let the ignorance of some deter you. Much love to all! ❤
She is absolutely perfect and so healthy looking!
Just ❤️ Fable! I always look forward to the new videos to see what she's up to. Thank you for doing this! 🤗
Fable is looking fantastic in this vid.
Absolutely love seeing Fable outside, she's so big and beautiful. You're long time viewers know how much you care about all of your birds and your great falconry knowledge and skills. Glad you set the negative people straight but ignore the nonsense.🦅😊.
She’s a happy bird and it’s obvious for everyone to see that you take great care of her. 🥰
What a lovely environment for her to enjoy. 😊
The fact she's in such beautiful condition and so playful should tell people she's very happy with her living arrangements! 😉
That is one well cared for and very happy Raven. Not forgetting lucky to have such a lovely cute Mum.
FABLE!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Boop boop!
Wow. She is absolutely beautiful.
Lovely. Thank you for sharing a bit of your busy life with me. I appreciate it.
SO fun to watch Fable just "doot dee doot"ing around, picking at random things, being curious! She has a GREAT life! and you treat her fantastic!
She is such a character! TONS of personality!
Her aviary is her home.... cleanliness is paramount with bird care, and it's very clear to me she has an excellent life. Thank you for sharing! 🎉
thankyou..to Fable and Fable's Mum for genuinely changing my thinking from sad, to being very happy to be alive to see such a creature being so well loved. Fable really loves you too!
Fable always looks so happy with you ❤ Amazing to see her in the beautiful nature. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing beautiful Fable with us! She is living a happy life. Thank you for loving her and caring for her. She has a perfect apartment to shelter from the weather. God bless!
❤️ from America for you and Fable.
Marvelous to see her fly free over the hillside and to hear her shriek and cry and caw in her native language.
I can never get over how large and lush Fable looks. I wonder if the size perception is partly because I don't usually see a Raven that close to a human face!
Our neighborhood is visited by a group of three ravens. When I come outside and they are about, The one sitting on the roof usually alerts the others to come get peanuts. Our shopping center is 1/2 mile away and I swear I see them in the parking lot when I arrive. They are fun and thank you for all that you do with Fable and other birds.
I've always loved Fable and her lovely, iridescent blue/black, mysterious feathers! You take such great care of her as everyone who had been watching your videos can see. thanks for sharing your videos!
Rather then simply switching channels, there is this faction that will instead concentrate on spending all their energy complaining; they are pathetic, do not give them a second's thought. You have provided us an insight into the world of falconry which is both entertaining and educational. Don't let those negative comments get you down. We love the common Raven and of course, Fable. We wish you all the best!
That was a great video Amy. It demonstrated admirably the caring environment you provide for the wonderful Fable. Thanks for taking the time too film it. TTFN. X
