    I can’t imagine how awesome it would be to have been chosen by a Raven and to be able to interact like that. Such an amazing bird! BOOP BOOP! Love your channel!!

      Crows, Magpies, and their ilk - talk to them, get to know them, and if you are gentle and calm - they will become comfortable around you, and eventually you might just be able to experience such. Just be respectful: They are wild beings, they are meant to be free - but that doesn't stop you from getting to know them.

      @nickryan3417 Рік тому

      I've found a lot of birds like head rubs/massages. I suspect this is because unless they have a partner to go through their feathers for them, they are left only able to use their own feet to tend to their head feathers and this is usually quite a stretch for them.

    Fable is just the best ❤ i volunteer at a owl sanctuary and have been making a friend out of the 1 of the 2 ravens they have. He is getting more relaxed with me every time i see him. The female is slowly getting better but she is taking alot longer. They are amazing bird and also very cheeky they both have a thing for undoing my laces just as im about to go.

    I first started my love affair with corvids when I lived on the edge of a town in southern Norway around 12 or so years ago. On walks with my dogs I noticed some hooded crows had caught on to that the dogs got treats. Being immensely curious by nature myself, I started to nonchalantly “forgetting” treats where they (hooded crows) could easily get to them, usually on top of large branches. Rapidly we became friends and they would follow me home. Fast forward and they would come and knock on the windows when they where hungry (not to mention an array of other corvids and small birds). Since then, wherever I’ve lived, I have gotten to know the local murder and in particular the local pair(s) in summer. Done correctly it’s immensely fun and rewarding and I can only imagine your work is many times more that, Amy. Thanks for taking the time and bringing the magic and majesty of Corvids to the world. ❤

    As a young boy growing up in East Sussex, I was always fascinated by the ornithological world. Especially the birds of prey. I was lucky enough to befriend some people from the Sussex Falconry Centre and had the great experience of learning the very basics of falconry. My life took me on a different route and now as a middle aged guy am living in the North of Germany. I would like to express my thanks to your great channel here on UA-cam. I watch all the vids and it makes me feel like that young guy again who once had a dream of becoming a falconer. I envy the life you lead but am very grateful for the fact you share it with us. Many regards from myself and that younger boy within.

    Hearing Fable saying "Hi" is so surreal! It really shows that what you've said in the "How ravens talk"-video is true. You hear an absolute clean voice without any typical human characteristics of airflow or vocal cord distortion. It's crazy. You can - obviously - generate similar sound with a computer, but while humans can try to approach this perfection, it will stay just a try.

    From what I have seen, especially growing up in rural Yorkshire, corvids (especially ravens) are much more intelligent than most birds of prey, so that hanging around near kill sites is massively to thier advantage. I've seen kestrels in particular getting MASSIVELY cheesed off with ravens and rooks, as the latter in particular are so good at behaving co-operatively. This affords the observer some truly amusing moments. Such a pity we didn't have smartphone cameras in those days. Anyone can see clearly how happy Fable is, especially in the end section of this lovely video.. And in SUCH good condition too! Nice one. 🌟👍

    The Cooper's hawks and crows where I live have a great relationship. They tolerate each other. When young Cooper's learn to hunt, it gets exciting. Not only do they chase, they like to test their skills by being chased.

    Fable reminds me vividly of an old pet shop I used to visit when I was a teenager, they had a huge white house cockatoo that had free reign of the entire shop. if it decided that it liked you, it would fly to your shoulder, and stick its head in your face with its head feathers erect, begging for head scritches. On my second visit, it decided that I would be one of the honoured ones, and flew right to my head and got its headfeathers stuck in my glasses. Well, I stood there for two hours with this thing on my person, just giving this bird the attention it demanded.In the end it wouldnt leave me alone :P and on every subsequent visit it took the owner of the shop to pick the bird up and hold it while I made my escape. :P

    Birds express their moods with their eyes and posture, plus various vocal expressions. She's very happy and content in your presence. My first Maxi Pionus was almost certainly wild caught and spoke wild Pionus and I spoke it back. He had a extremely loud flock call, BUUUWEEEP!, a all is right with his world soft erk! as he looked at me and all kinds of whistles and vocals none of my other Maxis have done since. He and they had the same type of happy eyes around me too. They tell everything with their eyes and body postures if you learn to read it. With parrots you better learn it or you will get da bitez when they are in a bad mood and trying to tell you to back off.

    Fable loves Mummy! We call our vultures (scavengers at roadkill sites) "buzzards" in the US. Your "buzzards" remind me of our harriers, long-tailed, low-flying hawks fond of chicken dinners. One good way to catch sight of raptors is to watch for their "escort" of crows or ravens, hoping for scraps from their meals.
