When I was a kid my mother rescued a raven that fell out of the nest. It never wanted to leave us when we tried to let it out in to the wild. We ended up with a bird that would come and go from our home when it wanted. It was an amazing bird. Very intelligent and curios bird.
Crows and Ravens are very loyal birds, and they remember kindnesses and someone being mean to them. So does their flock. I’ve read that the meanness to them the whole flock will punish…for years. 😂
I was owned by a Greenwing Macaw for over 21 years. Her name was Hera and acted a lot like her mythological namesake. She's been gone now for 6 years. Cancer. I still see her out the corner of my eye nearly every day.
Yeah the amount of near death stories about people who call out for their dead pets from their death bed and leave with happy smiles because they see their loved ones passed, clear as day, more real than us, well, that gives me hope when somebody in my family is poorly or when I am struggling or sad or poorly ❤️🦕🥰(also that Robin Williams film, What dreams may come, with the dog?! In the paint, of the paint) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Yes, ravens can imitate voices to a T. I remember hearing folk tales about people wandering in the woods alone, and going mad because the ravens called them by their name...But those people back then, didn't know it was ravens and that they can do that.
Same. When I first heard Fable saying something in human voice I couldn't believe what I'm hearing. It didn't sound at all like bird imitating human. Not a parrot-like "polly wants a cracker" with creak in a sound. I did know that Ravens can "talk", but how well they imitate human voice was surprise to me.
I bet we have a lot of stories from before we knew about birds doing this that can be attributed to birds. Imagine walking in the woods, even now, and hearing someone calling "hello!" but there's no one around. Creepy shit, but also super cool!
Not only intelligent but Fable's such a beautiful creature too. Look at the shine and variation on her feathers. As ever another wonderful video. Thank you for sharing with us.
She’s so sweet here!!! Aw! I want Fable cuddles!!! Also, it has to be uncanny to hear a beloved creature friend speak to you in exactly your own voice!!!
My top favorite birds. Its unbelievable how intelligent crows and ravens are. I once saw some crows picking up chestnuts and let them fall on a street. I was wondering what they are doing. Until I realized they were waiting for cars to crush and open them, then they just picked everything up and had their lunch. I mean thats some impressive learning ability for birds.
what a performance! This, combined with the fact that Fable ignores the other ravens, cements the fact that Fable is actually a pianist reincarnated as a raven
This is just adorable. I had a Jackdaw for 9 years that I rescued. She was such a fantastic pet. I built her a nice jackdaw house and aviary and she would go out and come back when she wanted to. She even built a nest each year and layed eggs. She used to talk and sound like my voice. Lol. Thanks for sharing your video 👍
Fable is adorable!! Having made friends with local jackdaws I came to appreciate and respect the corvid family for their intelligence and street smarts. Lovely bird your raven.
I only just discovered your channel. So charmed; I love Fable and how beautifully you handle and interact with your birds. Thanks for sharing your falconry life with us here!
It’s good to see you both again. Especially when fable is so talkative. I hope your incubation is going well and we get to see the hatchling when it arrives. I’ve got a feeling you’re gonna be one amazing mum. ❤️
Ooooh, no! Nobody but the father wants to see the hatching when it happens, surely?! And he may not be too keen! Oh, hang on - you said 'hatchling', not 'hatching'; phewey
@@nicholaskramer7783 !tock! Mwah! Hello Fable. Poe: "Right, while the idea of a raven hanging around and talking to someone is a good start, I'm going to have to come up with something more scary-sounding than that!"
@@olliefoxx7165 Specially Parrots and small birds. They "speak" using their own tone, which is mostly guttural. Some birds like Ravens and Lyrebirds, on the other hand, are so good at mimicking that they can change the tone to better imitate a sound or person. Fable is clearly demonstrating it, emulating the womans acute voice
@@bruceluiz That's very interesting! There are some videos of lyrebirds imitating chainsaws, cameras and other sounds they've heard that weren't animal sounds. It's like they are biological recorders. Avian species are so different from mammals I had never thought they had personalities till you posted your comment. Fable is very unique and clearly has a personality. So darn cool!
I think I might find it difficult to leave Fable-once she starts saying Hi and giving kisses--she's grabbed onto my heart. Thanks, Amy, for sharing her with us.
We just discovered Fable and your videos today and already my 2 year old son is going around the house saying “boop boop” 😂. We adore her already. Thank you for sharing this sweet bond with us ❤️
I feel so selfish wishing you would post more. You must be very busy with the little one coming and all. It's a good day when you post something. Thank you!
I love the part where Fable tastes each piano key to make sure it's not food first, then spends the next two full minutes of video being disappointed that the stick isn't a lollipop. She is such a wonderful bird! Thank you for sharing 🤩
I find it fascinating how she's not only learned how to replicate the words, but the words in your voice. Ravens are so insanely intelligent. I love them.
How Adorable Fable was, playing her piano. She's such an entertainer. : ) Hope you had an Excellent Valentines Day. It was Good to see you, Amy. Take Good Care. : )
As a piano teacher, I find this video heartwarming. Fable may not be the most dedicated of students, but it's fun to see that she enjoys producing musical sound. It also made me smile that when you were trying to get Fable to interact with the piano, she did what many children do and found something more interesting to do! Thanks for sharing.
Such a sweet relationship between the two, it comes thew on video. Thank you for the time, patience and persistence with her, I love to see both growing together.
She is adorable and so smart. My personal feeling is that she does have emotions toward you the way she likes to cuddle and chat. It may not make sense but I think they know who is in their corner. She does everything under her own terms of course but she knows.
If someone didn’t know..it sounds like a human in Fable's pen! She's very attached to you, is she that way with others? She loves her cuddles! Nice to see you back and hope all is well Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
So good to see you and Fable, Amy! The aviaries are outstanding, as is the view from Fable’s window! You are such a bright, shining star for so many. It’s wonderful to see you looking so fit!! Can’t wait to meet your “new chick”! Thank you for your beautiful videos and for sharing your life with us. 😘❤️ God bless you, your wonderful birds, and your growing family.
sooo nice to see you back here...and Fable too of course...was wondering about what happened, but as all can see ur in other circumstances.... congrats 😊😊😊 hope the "hatching" will be fine 🐣✊....all good luck to you in this case....
Hi Amy, Excited about the new video. Was wondering how you are doing? Good to see Fable again. Hope the pregnancy, is going well for you. I wish you, all the happiness in the world.🦅🦉
I've been having some time away from you tube and I'm trying to catch up with all the channels, the crazy get FIRST thing I noticed here is that it's not just the words, but Fable has really got your personal voice/ accent absolutely perfect! Because it's been a while since I've been online you really notice the difference! Oh you guys and the channel bring such happiness to my face! Yayyyy x
Fable's efforts teaching you to talk are paying off!
Lol
Lmfao
Ha Ha Ha Good one !
Ha ha ha! 👍
LOL

Loved your story. ♥️
was?

Ravens of old: "i am an omen of death"
Fable: "mwah boop boop hi"
So scary!
Also Ravens of old: "Wait, you thought we were harbingers of death? How silly, what an active imagination you humans have"
The bird is so funny cute im giggling at its hi saying lol
Lol!
Ha ha ha! I love it! 🤭
The fact that Fable can mimic your voice with such accuracy is awesome and creepy at the same time.
You claim being a pyro? You're creepy!!
I notice that she only do the kissing sounds when she's with you and not when she's alone
She didn't want Amy to leave her alone with the toy. She wanted to interact with her person, that was more important for her!
Astute observation! This is proof fable means things when she does them and not just mindlessly recreates sounds!
She also bends her head over. I think she asks for a kiss.
The kissing noise might be Fable's name for Amy.
@@maneshwar9377 nonsense 😂
I was owned by a Greenwing Macaw for over 21 years. Her name was Hera and acted a lot like her mythological namesake. She's been gone now for 6 years. Cancer. I still see her out the corner of my eye nearly every day.
I understand. 3 months ago I had to put my 31 year old Quaker to sleep. He owned me for twenty right of those years. I still cry and I hear him.
I‘m very sorry for you. I am still missing my two budgies
We'll see all we have loved when we go to Heaven.
Yeah the amount of near death stories about people who call out for their dead pets from their death bed and leave with happy smiles because they see their loved ones passed, clear as day, more real than us, well, that gives me hope when somebody in my family is poorly or when I am struggling or sad or poorly ❤️🦕🥰(also that Robin Williams film, What dreams may come, with the dog?! In the paint, of the paint) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
She's in a very talkative mood today. When she says "Hello", she sounds exactly like you Amy, it's uncanny.
Ravens imitate the voice of their people exactly like they sound. So cool.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
"Is that Amy, is she back? I could swear that sounded just like Amy!"
❤️
Yes, ravens can imitate voices to a T. I remember hearing folk tales about people wandering in the woods alone, and going mad because the ravens called them by their name...But those people back then, didn't know it was ravens and that they can do that.
What is really weird is when they all of a sudden talk in your hubby's voice or some other man...
It never ceases to amaze me how intelligent ravens and crows are! It is no wonder that in Norse mythology they represent 'thought' and 'memory'.
I can't tell who is speaking sometimes, it is incredible
Same. When I first heard Fable saying something in human voice I couldn't believe what I'm hearing. It didn't sound at all like bird imitating human. Not a parrot-like "polly wants a cracker" with creak in a sound. I did know that Ravens can "talk", but how well they imitate human voice was surprise to me.
Same here, I have to watch Amy's lips to see that she's not talking. Incredible beasty indeed.
Doesn't her voice sound so elegant coming from a bird's beak? :D Talk about being a good Mimic! "Hi!"
They are fantastic mimics.
@@JustMe-vk4fn "Hello!" :)
I love how every time she says her own name she spreads her tail feathers as if delighted to say it. So cute.
yes, it's really cool how intleligent birds are
Fable's voice may sound like Amy's, but her piano playing sounds a lot like mine.
Nice to see you both again.
Haha
😂😂😂
Wow. I've only recently learned that ravens can mimic human speech but the the clarity in Fable's mimicking is astounding, I can't tell you two apart.
Fable's the one with the black feathers!
Love how Fable bends her neck toward Amy and fluffs herself, and gets very sweet. I see crows and ravens do this to each other in the wild.
I love Fluffy McFloofersons name!!!!
We are simply fascinated by, not only Fable, but by YOUR level of patience
and caring for this incredible bird. Keep up the magical work!!
The older I Get the more I would rather be with animals .
Me too. We should form a club and have daily meetings 😀
@@marko3296 Daily meetings with other people? No thanks lol I'd rather be with animals. :)
Me too!!
They are much better people.
Me too....
It's so incredible how she's able to mimic your exact tone and accent! What a smart and inquisitive creature she is.
I love how poofed up she gets when you are around. You really are her person! Too cute 😍
I didn’t know ravens could imitate voices like this! She’s sweet! 🧡
gosh it's crazy how lifelike her voice sounds. You could be convinced those words weren't spoken by a bird
Ikr? I have to watch if its Amy or Raven speaking! And Raven has a British accent! 😁👍💚
I bet we have a lot of stories from before we knew about birds doing this that can be attributed to birds. Imagine walking in the woods, even now, and hearing someone calling "hello!" but there's no one around. Creepy shit, but also super cool!
Fascinating how when a parrot speaks, it sounds like a parrot speaking but when this raven speaks, its voice is exactly the same as its trainer's.
Lovely to see you both. You're looking well Amy. I hope your pregnancy is going as smoothly as poss. Take care. X
Her pregnancy seems to be going cushty ☺
@@juiceter3981 Haha that's good. I was gonna say "plonker." 🤣
10:35
I love how excited she gets when you say "Hello" back to her.
My favorite moment is when Fable touches her face, just wanting to be close with her.
Me too 😍😍😍
Agreed
Yes, she's very cuddly in this video. Super cute.
Absolutely warms the heart & soul ..... 💕💕💕
Seems like she adores human interaction and love above all else.
WOW Fable really perfected the voice reenactment of HI, I had to look at you both to make sure who said it XD
Easy to tell the difference. Fable's "Hi" is way sexier.
@@zippymax1 When I commented (above) I'd thought I was the first to notice it.
Not only intelligent but Fable's such a beautiful creature too. Look at the shine and variation on her feathers. As ever another wonderful video. Thank you for sharing with us.
I always forget what a large bird she is! So beautiful and I loved when she was yelling HEY at the dogs. Great to see you both!

I'm sure on one of these videos it said they are as intelligent as a 7 year old child. They really are incredible.
How cool!
Strategy v. opposable thumbs
Yes, crows are very very bright!!
Watch Beaks and Brains on Netflix! Wow.
Just came across this page and it’s got me hooked. I love the talking raven, what a beautiful relationship you two have.
Welcome aboard!
It is adorable how she says "hi Fable" while waiting for you to come back
She lives for Amy's attention and affection!
And she knew she was coming back too.
Yes, I think her words expressed her wishes for Amy to return. I love Fable. I often think of her Boop Boops. From NY.
I love that she has learned to say "Hey" at the dogs!
what a performance! This, combined with the fact that Fable ignores the other ravens, cements the fact that Fable is actually a pianist reincarnated as a raven

@@APV878 WWAOW
We’re here. Let’s roll! 🙌💗
I absolutely adore sweet Fable!!! She’s so smart and beautiful!!! Attacking the tripod was an interesting way to vent when she was upset that u left.
The single thumbs down must be from some dork who thought Fable was going to pick up the mallets and play Beethoven on the piano. 😝
Exactly. Mozart, just for a giggle, but Beethoven? Too serious.
That's not such a bad idea! I'd love for a bird to play some classical musicxD
Takes one to know one.
... or someone who fumbled his mobile device while turning it sideways.
@@OregonCrow ... what an entirely stupid thing to say.
Fable is adorable!! Having made friends with local jackdaws I came to appreciate and respect the corvid family for their intelligence and street smarts. Lovely bird your raven.
I've missed Fable! Glad to see a new video. It brightened my day. I hope you all are doing well.
I'm American so it's humorous to me to hear a raven speak with an accent! 🤣 She sounds just like you. Love it! 💜❤️
Fable sound more like you than you do.
It's true! lol 😂
Ikr? Is that even possible 😳🤔
It reminds me of a joke in “SpongeBob”. Patrick tells SpongeBob, “You sound more like Squidward than... Squidward!” 😂
lmao
Thought exactly that :D greetings from Poland :)

Oh, hang on - you said 'hatchling', not 'hatching'; phewey
You know she's going to lay an egg.
@@FrankBenlin Mother of Dragons 🐉?
I'm fascinated by Fable's intelligence, how she mimics your voice in the same tone and solves puzzles is fabulous. Great job done :-)
Somewhere, the shade of Edgar Allan Poe is shaking his head, realising he could have given the raven a LOT more dialogue...
She shall press, ah, nevermore..!
Quoth the raven, hi, boop boop.

I love the confused look on Fables face every time the piano makes noise
Whilst most birds imitates us with their own tone, it is spectacular to see a Raven try matching yours.
Never thought about them having their own tone. That's a good observation.

Most incredible thing i have ever seen. Thank you magical lady who made this possible for us to see👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Almost ready for her audition on "Raven's Got Talent'. :)

So glad to see you again, and this channel. Have wondered if everything was well. Good luck!!
Yes I also was concerned not seeing any activity so exciting to get the video!! 👍
I dont get why people dislike the video ,you look after the birds amazing and shes just so lovely to watch....
Yippee, we got to see fable enjoying herself around you and playing her piano and we got a glimpse of "bump"..... it's a good day!
Fable's mimics of you have improved so much in the last year! Wow!
I feel so selfish wishing you would post more. You must be very busy with the little one coming and all. It's a good day when you post something. Thank you!
It's uncanny how similar to you she speaks!
When she repeats "Hi Fable" over and over, I bet that she wants her favourite human to return.
I love the part where Fable tastes each piano key to make sure it's not food first, then spends the next two full minutes of video being disappointed that the stick isn't a lollipop. She is such a wonderful bird! Thank you for sharing 🤩

That was a good dose of fable. I feel better now.
Thank you for all you do for these beautiful birds. You are clearly a great "Mum" to them.
I LOVE Fable! She's so darn cute when she runs too. Awe, my heart melted.
Awe Amy ! I don’t know u were expecting!! Congratulations! And as always me and my little ones love watching u and Fable 🥰
Sing us a song your the piano bird! Also she’s very proficient with her speech. Wonderful as always
Her voice is so soft! Hard to imagine they can produce such nice sounds when we hear them "kaw kaw" x)
Anybody else want to have a constant livestream of Fable? I'd watch nearly all day! 💕
Beautiful bird, love Ravens.
Congrats on baby!!! And Fable is such a love to watch... very calming.
what a stunningly beautiful bird. Looks like she's happy and healthy.
How Adorable Fable was, playing her piano. She's such an entertainer. : ) Hope you had an Excellent Valentines Day. It was Good to see you, Amy. Take Good Care. : )

Just a couple of days ago i was talking to my mother about you and fable, happy to see another video from you. Greetz from the Netherlands
Aww! I showed my mom your videos and she was so surprised to see that ravens can talk like this. Thanks for the videos! They always make us smile 😃
Wonderful to see you all back watching the two of you made my morning blessings to you all from the mountains of Southern Oregon
what a beautiful and intelligent bird ❤️ thank you for so many great videos. you’re doing incredible work.
While you were gone Fable tore into some Elton John on the piano....
and some boogie woogie
She is adorable and so smart. My personal feeling is that she does have emotions toward you the way she likes to cuddle and chat. It may not make sense but I think they know who is in their corner. She does everything under her own terms of course but she knows.
Not to be dramatic but I would die for Fable
Same! 🥰
I doubt the bird would reciprocate that feeling though.
how embarrassing
Well, she's got a steak knife on her face, so I guess she could hook that up for you. Probably just boop boop though.
Dying is overrated, i would LIVE for fable😭💓
You have done an excellent job of training Fabel by just loving him in a way he understands
I absolutely love watching you two!!!
If someone didn’t know..it sounds like a human in Fable's pen!
She's very attached to you, is she that way with others?
She loves her cuddles!
Nice to see you back and hope all is well
Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
I found myself smiling throughout this whole video. Thank you for sharing the beautiful bonds that are possible between animal and human.
Yay! We missed you!
Love that ! .... 😎
I think Fable has a very beautiful voice. She should become a singer.
My Grey parrot makes a “tock” sound that’s a thank you sound. Fable seems to say something similar. Such a pleasure to watch.
You are so lovely both of you, watching Fable always makes me smile
So good to see you and Fable, Amy! The aviaries are outstanding, as is the view from Fable’s window! You are such a bright, shining star for so many. It’s wonderful to see you looking so fit!! Can’t wait to meet your “new chick”!

She almost had jingle bells there for a second. I love you two! Thanks for your hard work.
BOOP BOOP
Amazing how good Fable is at mimicking Amy's voice. Sounds just like her.
Thanks for the visit. Always a pleasure to get to see you.
Hi Amy,
Excited about the new video. Was wondering how you are doing? Good to see Fable again.
Hope the pregnancy, is going well for you. I wish you, all the happiness in the world.🦅🦉
