[Dentarthurdent54]

Crow vs. Raven? Ravens *are* crows...

[andre69628]

[055918]

@andre69628 No we are not like you

Freedom of marriage from animals :p

[gsmonks]

I raised a fledgling crow many years ago. When I passed him along to be trained to survive in the wild, I went to clean out his cage. In a corner of his cage I found a stash of marbles, coins, my missing watch, and other stuff. All these years later, I still wonder if he missed his belongings.

[Caeruleus000]

You have a pet raven and a pet crow! How Awesome!

[genjuro88]

They are pretty smart animals, do you know, can you get them "clean"? I mean, like a cat, to use a "toilet"?

Or is this impossible for birds? Hope you will answer this, thank you very much!

[MissCATNUTS]

they are so cute!! i bet theyre good friends. :-p

[TillHeartStops777]

0:25 own it own it!!! yeeaah! xD

[peyoteasesino666]

i wanna one of them :(

[TheTrotzky]

Quoth the Raven, Nevermore.

[msroxas101assassin]

If I get a Raven don't judge me on this but I'd name him Gil or Gilbert XD

Don't judge I just think the name is good ^^

[euromerc]

@billygotgrove ~ idiot.

[euromerc]

@billygotgrove ~ apology accepted. There are actually people on YouTube who hunt them, and make all kinds of horrible remarks, so I thought you were one of them :)

[princessbetterthanU]

@euromerc thts terrible! :(

[happyninslave]

@euromerc It's legal to hunt them in most States. Kinda sad.

[AweSomo84]

@euromerc heartless idiots these days , i saved one , had him for 3 weeks and miss him

[LittleMadPyro]

Ooooh, shiny! *_*

Edgar is a damn cool name for a raven ^^

[nets216]

0:52 i take it again !

nah joke raven u mad?!

[Hedphelym]

dont they shit all over the house?

[euromerc]

@Hedphelym ~ yes.

[Kaci2013]

I want a fucking Raven now!

[SEThatered]

So cute!

[dragonbrawler22]

i thought ravens were WAY bigger

[Rhinogradentian]

12 dollar wallmart watch, they only care that it's "ooh shiny". But then again, who is smarter, animals that like whatever looks good or humans who spend assloads of money for genuine gold.

[lavaboy23]

that's pretty cool. I wonder if u give them crickets and worms to eat from the pet store. I owned a lot of animals but birds. Nice birds.

[dodsonsth]

You're great. Nice video.

[shroomingnewman]

which bird is smarter? crows or ravens?

[euromerc]

@shroomingnewman ~ I'd have to say ravens.

[DianaLuntenSweden]

@euromerc i can ONLY agree! :-) Ravens are my favorite birds ever! Like ravens want to be friends with me, they somehow understand me or something. They are awesome, I can't understand those who dislike ravens!

[C32347K17732]

@euromerc bigger brain, probably.

Nice animals, I would like to pet one, but I don't think you should pet animals like birds... or any other animal. :(

[WiredrawnMurder45]

@C32347K17732 not really, it removes essential oils that help them molt and keep things like dirt and bugs off of their feathers.

[C32347K17732]

@WiredrawnMurder45 think I'm the wrong person to reply to. :)

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

Wow! That's impressive! Gosh, you sure know how to get rescued birdies to act like parrots.

[ThunderSequoia]

What a wonderful cute video! Can really see their personalities beam.

Thanks for sharing! I wish I could take care of corvids as they're my favorite birds.

[euromerc]

@blackcrow219 ~ My ravens are more vocally adept at imitations that the crows.

[neckreth]

maybe they are smart enough to know that they should not be pooping all over the place

[CanadianReich]

dont they poop everwhere?

[euromerc]

@CanadianReich ~ yes.

[T42please]

Amazing, beautiful birds.

[raargh00]

oh, you named the raven "edgar"... i see what you did there

[Prfctdrk]

I think you may have made the annotations wrong, you said Mimi the Crow but the box says Ricky :P

[euromerc]

@Prfctdrk ~ It's so silly. His name is Ricky, but I call him MiMi. long story...

[The7DeadlyStrings]

OMFG Edgar is SOOOO frigin cute

[Alphabex8]

damn, ravens are gigantic. never knew the size difference. i think there's only crows where i live

[duanlang4ever]

don't they love shiny things?

[euromerc]

@duanlang4ever * That's a myth. They're interested in EVERYTHING. You can give them a toilet paper roll, and they're just as engaged with it as a shiny thing :)

[gusmuran123]

@euromerc yeah thyre like look shiny :'D!!!

[Koroush51]

I thought It was illegal to have pet crows?

[TRANSiENTART]

@Koroush51 Certain types yes, in this case I'm assuming it's a Common Raven and most likely an American Crow, both of which are illegal to own in the USA. Though you're allowed to hunt them It's even illegal to have any part of them in your possession even if you plan to rescue them and let me free. It's strange that some exotic rare birds can be allowed as pets yet, these common corvids aren't allowed?

[Koroush51]

@TRANSiENTART Bad laws.

[guyNbluejeans]

That's cute. Birds are so smart.

[tinjmail]

what's the difference between a crow & a raven?

[TheTrueNinja12]

@tinjmail The most prominent difference is their beak. At least, that's what my sources tell me..... Ravens have a larger beak than crows.

[euromerc]

@TheTrueNinja12 ~ Ravens also have much larger feet than crows, even when they are babies.

[euromerc]

@tinjmail ~ See my video "Crow vs. Raven".

[RedStarWolf]

It's funny.. I live in Florida, and supposedly, we have no ravens whatsoever down here, not a single one, not even seasonally, and yet, going on a few clues I've taken from your videos(Edgar's size compared to the box and guitar cases in the background) I've noticed plenty of birds about Edgar's size and shape flying around. Much larger than the typical crows, and their call IS much harsher.

I have a theory that maybe there are some wild african hybrids in this area.

[euromerc]

@RedStarWolf ~ There could be. They exist in Africa.

[RedStarWolf]

@euromerc Interesting. I didn't know they cross breed in the wild...

[euromerc]

@RedStarWolf ~ I found out that CROWs and ravens don't mate in the wild, but the African Ravens do..... via John Marzluff.

[RedStarWolf]

@euromerc Hmmm... Could be the case then. My buddy with the FWC says he knows of at least eight people from this area in the last ten years who have lost various non-native corvids, including brown necked ravens and pied crows, so it 's entirely possible that a breeding population has taken root down here. Stranger things have happened.

[mankalephallang]

@RedStarWolf

These non-native corvids, were they peds from these people?

[euromerc]

@mankalephallang ~ The non-native corvids come from a breeder: Corvid Ranch. They are from Africa.

[Prfctdrk]

I love how big Ravens get

I watched a Raven (crow? I couldn't tell because I didn't have both a crow and a raven for comparison) sitting ontop of our apartments and a squirrel skiddish as ever walked up to it, the raven stared at him and jumped up, the squirrel darted off never to be seen again. Love raven/crow antics!

[euromerc]

@Prfctdrk ~ The squirrel startled the raven, otherwise the raven probably would have grabbed at it!

[Prfctdrk]

@euromerc no he jumped and then the squirrel ran away! it was cute :D

[Getaro]

Also a difference between ravens and crows are how they sound, right?

Crows sound softer I recall, we have a lot of crows around but sadly no ravens, I love ravens, how they sound..

[euromerc]

@Getaro ~ go to Wikipedia and search for crows, then ravens. On their pages they have sounds examples of each.

[FlowingDepths]

Haha when you dropped the watch Ricky was like, "Oh snap, hold up! SHINY!" *takes and runs* xD cute birds you have there.

[euromerc]

@FlowingDepths ~ They're very smart :)

[SarethZhukov314]

Whats the difference between a crow and a raven?

[euromerc]

@SarethZhukov314 ~ Ravens are larger than crows, have larger bills and larger feet. They also have shaggy feathers under their throat.

[infantry031]

@euromerc larger brains aswell

[euromerc]

@SarethZhukov314 ~ See my video "Crow vs. Raven in Size

[jerrygreg2]

Ok, I've read your comment further down the page now. I'm getting there!

[jerrygreg2]

Ok I found it. African Pied Crow/White-necked Raven. Is that Corvus cryptoleucus or the African species of White-necked Raven, Corvus albicollis? I'm surprised that Edgar is so much bigger because these species are more or less the size of our Eurasian Carrion Crow, though Ricky will be an American Crow. Please excuse my curiousity!

[euromerc]

@jerrygreg2 ~ African Species :)

[jerrygreg2]

Can I ask what you mean by hybrid raven?

[euromerc]

@CutingDoom ~ Ravens are the same species as crows, but larger...and actually quite beautiful :)

[cccodywa]

@euromerc No they are not the same species! The Common Raven is Corvus corax, and the American Crow is Corvus brachyrhynchos . They are quite difference, I can assure you.

[euromerc]

@cccodywa ~ Do you notice anything alike about those two names? The species is

"corvus".

[cccodywa]

@euromerc Their GENUS is Corvus. Just the same way the Gray Wolf is Canis lupus and the Coyote is Canis latrans. Does a similar genus mean they are the same species? Certainly not!

[BoredChick]

@euromerc 'Corvus' is the genus. Not the species.

[alecosvr4]

@euromerc Corvus is the genus, not the species.

[fatturdburger]

Cool birdys.

I've allways wanted a pet rook.

[Three1Bravo]

They aren't mean?

[euromerc]

Not by nature. Edgar gets a little mean if you pay too much attention to one of the other birds :) He gets jealous. But they are affectionate, intelligent, birds.

[bijeto]

I had an Edgar too 11 years ago. Man I miss him!

[euromerc]

Oh, so sorry :(

[x0purpleconversex03]

I didn't know u could have pet crows/ravens! That's awesome! I wish I could get one! I absolutely <3 crows/ravens!

[euromerc]

You can have hybrid crows/ravens from Africa, which you can get from Corvid Ranch. It's illegal to possess them in the U.S. unless you are a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, or are working under one.

[argetfalcon]

love how you named him Edgar

[cujo9]

i always wanted pet ravens , i have parrots but would like to get a raven, does anyone know where to buy them in st ives cornwall ?

[euromerc]

The only place that I know of to by a hybrid Raven, is Corvid Ranch, in Alabama, USA.

[cujo9]

well thats no good.

and im not looking for a hybrid im looking to buy a real raven.

[AdamskiNior]

A crazy old man in the Sloop sells them

[euromerc]

There ya go, Cujo9, contact AdamskiNior!

[GR3ATL10N]

Glad to see I'm not the only one whose home is a wreck due to Corvids

[euromerc]

Oy! Did ever know that something could poop so much!

[CapnBlackbird]

My magpie found this video very interesting to watch!

Thank you for all you do for your corvid friends.

[GoldenDragon667]

If I were to see where I can find a place where I could adopt rescue crows, where should I start?

Btw I live in Canada, so i'm not really sure what the rules are here for that.

[GrazyParrot]

Fascinating and cool pets ! I heard they even outsmart Parrots

whether true of not doesn't matter I've always been fascinated by Corvids and their abilties

[euromerc]

They are supposedly smarter than Parrots. I've never had parrots, so I can't really say; but Edgar is extremely intelligent and crafty :) I viewed your "favorites" and you have some great ones. I favorited the snake with the dwarf hamster :)

[GrazyParrot]

Yeah they seems to be smarter

I've never seen a parrot using tools yet there are quit a few vids of Corvids using tools the most amazing one I've seen was the one with the Crow using traffic to crack nutshells

Corvids seems to have a more naugthyboy attitude aswell

Hah

the vid with the hamster and snake was remarkable

but I don't think that that ( friendship) will last long

[3DOBot]

Let's put it this way, ravens have the intelligence of a five year old.

[obdurateandobstinate]

Please tell me you're going to set them free ...? I'm not a crazed PETA type weirdo or anything, but it bothers me seeing such large birds indoors like that. It's not ... Normal. =(

[euromerc]

Both of these animals have been raised by humans since they were under six weeks old. They would not know how to fend for themselves, or find things to eat. They would approach strange humans and probably be hurt. They have a large aviary, and if they choose, they can fly all over the 2 story house. I appreciate your concern, but I only have disabled, or imprinted birds :)

[obdurateandobstinate]

Oh, I see ... =(

[euromerc]

Actually, my ex-fiance named him after Edgar Allen Poe/.**=

He just typed those last 5 characters, and is tugging on my computer mouse :)

[JoeDaPokemonMasta1]

Did you name Edgar after Edgar Allen Poe's poem about the raven?

[myroosterwilleatyou]

Your corvids are beautiful, you are so lucky to have them! This is a good vid for people who can't tell the differences between crows and Ravens!

[euromerc]

Thanks!  I feel blessed that God has intrusted them to me :)

[nicholasbhicks]

i live in ohio so do i have crows or ravens? im confused now

[euromerc]

Edgar is a hybrid African Pied Crow/white-necked raven, and they are not idigenous to the United States; so yes, it's legal.  I think it's great your Grandma took care of the owls! You learn a lot about wildlife by spending time with them, and bless her heart.

[SuperPingvinen]

is it legal? my grandma toke care of two owls once!
