  • It's May 12th, 2021, here's a quick report on one of the families at Crystal Cove. I saw a first and that was dad dug for, chased down and killed a small crab but he didn't eat it. First time I've seen a kill and then no interest to eat. Then all of a sudden dad takes off, and runs down a young squirrel. I included the scene where dad has the young squirrel on his entire face, and then later feeds it to the family. I don't show the actual kill scene but if you're squeamish about such things you may want to pass.

    Very few birds can compete with Ravens in flight! I’ve watched them do barrel rolls, dives, and even fly upside down! Very goofy and fun loving birds! There’s construction going in my area and the Ravens like to fly through, doing doves and barrel rolls while the crew works and sometimes even walk around wait for the excavators come right up to them before flying away. Excited for when you post again!

    Just about the most wonderfully graceful birds when they are flying, and maybe the smartest and funniest birds when they are goose stepping about on the ground. This is amazing how much they trust you ♥️♥️

    So cool. We started feeding crows peanuts on our walks and the ravens started showing up. We're loving that.

    a couple of years back I was living in the Sierra Nevada foothills north of Fresno. There is a 700 acre private wilderness area in the middle of a large development with a large hill as the dominant feature. The Ravens ruled the hill but gave the local Redtails their due respect. The elder pair of Ravens would often accompany me on my hikes and sit near me when I'd take a break (like old folks sharing a bench at a park). They'd nap, preen each other and sometimes we'd have conversations. The younger generations weren't so friendly, but the elders... they would always show up,. They are truly wonderful, intelligent creatures and their flying skills are off the chart. Sometimes it seemed they would even have flying competitions (at least that was my thought) w/ the Redtails. Thanks for the vids!

      Our experiences with the adults is much the same, and with the young learning to fly the relationships are even more involved, but that changes as soon as the "kids' get kicked out by the adults , they then seem to go into a typical teenager mode and with rare exceptions, have little to do with me. Thanks for sharing the stories!

    This is so cool. I have some magpies that have been training me up as their Human, all last year.
    To begin with, they would crash and bash into the window ledge, where I left scraps of bacon and chicken. Now, they land gracefully, tap on the window, asking for food, cocking and tilting their heads.
    I swear they wait until I am eating, so that they can share a meal with me.
    I love them! It's one of the best things about 2020 lockdown is my growing relationship with my magpie friends. 🖐️🌼

    • @theravendiaries
      @theravendiaries  3 роки тому +4

      Great story thanks for sharing! My limited dealings with wild magpies leads me to believe they live and interact more like my ravens (couples in a specific area) than my gang banger crows. Key word being limited!

      The lock down made many realise to love themselves and be with the animals. I went within and found God and animals. A miracle happened ✨️ I saw the light which set me free . I was truly blessed
      I walked in pain upon these streets
      Drinking booze and eating sweets
      The sweets I put within my veins
      Heroin was my sweet Insane
      I had given up upon my life
      For all I had was miserable strife
      One day an hour past the night
      LO and BEHOLD I saw the light
      The light I saw lifted me free
      From pain and drugs for eternity
      I knew there and then I AM THAT I AM
      Because in forgetfulness I forgot my plan
      God gave me sweet remembrance
      Since that day I always dance
      I dance in the stillness of the Ball
      I sing silently a Hymn to The All
      I share my light with everyone
      And happiness and joy I have become
      I pray that we All see the Glow
      That I once saw LO and BEHOLD
      Now my purpose I can fulfill
      Of my names sake I do God's will
      Sam means messenger of The All
      He showed me the light To answer his call
      Now I AM walking upon the Path
      I AM filled with joy and often laugh
      My Heart is Laughing all the time
      For All of God's love is sweet sublime
      Some say this Light was Beloved Michael ✨️ 💕
      Perhaps it was
      Perhaps it was my Very own Beloved Christself ♾️🌞♾️💜♾️🕯

    Today after Sunday mass in the city of Arcadia which is north east of Los Angeles I saw ravens & crows fighting over territory. The crow where escorting the ravens out of the area & a crow was dive bombing a raven perched on a pole. One thing after observing your videos I learned a bunch, I used to think they where the same thing, & 7 years later after have watched your video I’ve noticed Ravens fly far more graceful, which they’d wave their wings more elegantly while crows flap flap flap their wings more awkwardly, I’ve also noticed crows don’t soar like ravens do

    Just wanted to let you know, my Pet Raven, Fate, loves watching your channel. It's generally this or Looney Tunes. It is her favorite. I have one request though. Could you do an entire video on just Raven calls? I don't think I've seen one dedicated to just that. She loves to watch, but what she really enjoys is hearing the various calls other Ravens make. Hugiin, who I had for 13 years passed last year. I managed through what could only be described as fate, to get a baby this year. I was planning on getting two. Hopefully my main breeder will have some babies this next year, as this year his 3 pair only gave duds due to a Rooster screwing with them ONLY when they tried mating. I want to have a pair, so that when I at work they have company. As it is, Fate is already insanely bonded to me. We do watch you channel together when I can.

    Well they basically gave me a hard no. However, after I told them the bird was not ever caged had freedom 24/7 they relented. I'm way out on a ranch and this is a Chihuahuan sub species. They don't migrate here in AZ.

      I also have a 7month old raven in AZ. She has never been caged . She Flys with other ravens close to her age, I don't know where she sleeps at night, but she's on my porch every morning and will stay as long as I will play. Most of the time she will come when I call her, she eats 3 or 4 times a day. She eats from my hand, fills her gullet then hides it near by then comes back for more. I've noticed other ravens robbing her stashes and a few times attacking her to take food from her mouth. I think this is how she has found a social status nich with other ravens. I'm moving 30 miles away in a couple of months. I don't know if or how to take her to my new home, any suggestions? She has never been in a cage or restricted, I pick her up and kiss her head often so it won't be a problem to catch her. My fear is if I leave her she will starve. Any advice is welcomed.
