[knightryan22]

[ENJager]

What are you feeding those brids?

[AgentFireBond]

You are a very caring bird keeper! congrats!

[sheilaelee78]

i love them!!!



[ratrod67]

Plan on making any more videos on Corvids?

[BranSkrill]

5:46 is that another crow/raven or the kid saying "Dad"??

[peckiledorf]

dam 2.000 bucks

[TheCajunGambit1]

The babies remind me of Venus flytraps lol.

[Scarletdropper99]

THEY ARE ALL SOOOOOO CUTE!

[Denaroma]

wat r u feeding them I wanna buy one for the aviary purposes and idk wat to feed them

[ViolentKisses87]

Wow they are slightly scary when they are little

[chasington89]

Cute spoiled birds...

[thepdw]

I liked the part where the birds were noisy.

[svord000]

$2000.00 for a raven? a bit to much isn't it?

[thepdw]

@svord000 Not if the raven is priceless :-)

[rosyshalice]

@thepdw There wasn't much of that! :P

[TheCajunGambit1]

@svord000 Get a Crow then there cheaper.

[SparksSparkey]

well they are obviously raised a massive amount of love.

[Zeracan]

Horrible scary looking babies.  The babies that is.

[ImSoOffended]

do you have a percentage of those who make it into adulthood?

[vraimentjodi]

I really enjoyed seeing this. However as a general comment...I could not hear you speak over the birds. Perhaps a clip on mic may do the job so viewers could hear the great information that I assume goes along with this great video. Thanks.

[mrmixjay]

very good work.can I know what are you using for feed them? is useful doog or cat food ?

[seink01]

holysh&t.....that noise.....

[lisaaj40]

@alalev, As far as I can know. All our domestic animals that have been domesticated for centuries had a soul agreement to be so. I do not think these majestic bird that mate for a life time and NEED their parents comfort and love have asked for this to be done to hem??? If it is their karma then it is ours to release them from confinement!! Dogs, cats and "livestock" are a whole other story...

[kaixdokki]

@lisaaj40 dogs and cats were once wild as well... i appriciate what this man is doing... im not sure where you are located, but in the U.S. in all states it is legal to kill these magical birds for no other reason than for sport or if you think they are being a nuisance. I'm glad for the kindness I see these birds getting and I commend this man for his efforts to save these beautiful and misunderstood birds.

[WayneOdennis]

@kaixdokki Dont take this a "Mr know it all" comment because I dont disagree with your point of view but in this case the birds are all non native species, you can not raise and sell native migratory birds it is protected by law. So he isent technically "saving" these birds.

[lisaaj40]

That's all very good but don't birds just like any animal need the comfort of it's mother for healthy and proper growth? Some of those birds don't look so healthy to me...

[almalev]

what a horrible person you are. terribel views. sick man. the place of wild birds in the wild. mad man, 

[Sneak693]

@almalev cant you say that with any pet? they were all wild at one time...

this is like owning a dog kettle.

[kouriichi]

Hmm.... i think a few of them are hungry. But thats no and educated guess or anything.

[CHEM1ZON]

I hope he wears earplugs while he's in there...

[Dest085]

can they speak? if so teach one to say "Nevermore" and you'll be the coolest person i know

[FlickerFlee]

hehehe Everyone is so demanding except for the vultures, they seems like they are very content to just wait their turn. Everyone is very cute!!

[shamwell89]

I LOVE YOU

[TheDayWeAwake]

what are they eating?

[gamlikaggl]

6:44 there's a creepy penguin teddy stalking the crows :Þ

[afdeditch99]

Woah, I really would like one of your birds, I have a cockatiel right now now and he is a joy to be around but I love crows and ravens even more. When Im an adult and have my own house i am going to get a South American Yellow Headed Vulture and a White Necked Raven. The vulture will be Delgado and the raven would be Oreo

[Copperbat]

oh my gosh those are some hungry babies

[narutogreen2000]

Oh god they're so fucking cute..

[forestwanderer777]

Wow! this is so coooooool!

[liamfeb27]

wow but is iligal to have crow right? i always wanted to have a crow

[DjDroyd]

@liamfeb27

Native to North america yes but non native crows it is legal!

[tacosandbeans]

@liamfeb27

only Native crows these are African Pied Crows

[TadaKiba]

@tacosandbeans 1. The African pied crow is not native to the US. 2. The African pied crow is actually considered a raven.

[ratrod67]

@TadaKiba Just curious, They certainly look more like Ravens but why do they call them Crows?

[TadaKiba]

@ratrod67 While structurally they are much more ravens then crows, they are smaller (about the size of a carrion crow) I didn't name them so I cannot say this is the only reason for the name decision,

[TadaKiba]

@TadaKiba They also sound more like a crow then a raven

[Manceinion]

This is the best vid I ever seen!

[bizarropunk]

LOL i love this vid but it's so hard to hear over the birds... oh well what can you do!

[Jeremyfox43921]

really cool dude much respect I love crows such smart birds. Also your sons going to follow in your foot steps just how hes not asking questions or playing around watching how you do everything lol luck guy

[galazprietof]

Pretty good family you got!

I wanna be like you someday :)

[BElfPaladins]

OMG! lost and lots of beautiful crows and ravens! They are all so beautiful! I will purchase a couple ravens from the Corvid Ranch someday =)

[AlbertManiscalco]

can they be house trained?

[tomtalker2000]

This is FANTASTIC....!!! I've been in the avian field now, for 20+yrs. And have extensive field knowledge, working with wild species. As well as, "domesticated" pet birds, I.E. parrots, etc...And the one species, that has fascinated me the most, is the "Corvid species". The intelligence, that they possess, is right up there with the large Macaws and other large parrot species. However, i never imagined, that someone would care, to even take the time in taming these beauties into "family pets.

[MakeshiftXMannequin]

i feel sorry for his ears...

[nickstadz]

Anyone who's thinking of getting a corvid, Go for it. I just got mine from brian, 4 week pied crow chick im working on imprinting

[BuzzConroy67]

Great video!

[LordMarkan]

Definitely hoping to own one someday. Hopefully the laws will reverse themselves and I'll own an all-black Raven, but if not, definitely ordering one someday.

[litledevel15]

@LordMarkan

wait why can't you have an all black raven or crow?

[koviack]

@litledevel15 you can only have crows.. or a white necked raven iirc.. ravens are obviously superior and an all black one is even superiorer to a white necked raven

[sparkpenguin]

@koviack i'm sure the animals would love to know which is superior in your discerning eyes. :P

[koviack]

@sparkpenguin ;P They would probably just argue with me... Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

[C0SM1CG4TE]

He cares so much about them it makes me tear up

[johnwantling]

Brian, what an excellent video. Its like heaven watching it. You are very busy feeding them birds but keep up the good work as the corvids are one of the most beautiful birds on the planet as far as I am concerned. I have a few crow files on youtube myself and hope to be uploading two more in the next day or two so watch out for that. Best wishes from John Wantling, Rochdale, Lancashire, UK.

[loveanimals1000]

Wow, what dedication and love. Have never seen a baby bird so close up before!

sooo cute!

check out cat and crow are friends.

we have much to learn from animals!

[Nenshite]

God bless this man. Someday I'm ordering a raven from him for sure <3

[phorlakhnanta]

holy shite they make a l ot of noise :) thanks for4 uploading

[DaniMart2005]

Hi bestbeetrap,

What are you feeding your birds in this video? Could I get an ingredients and preparation list from you if your willing to share that?

Wow, I'm very impressed with the set-up you got there! My family has been bird breeders for many generations, mostly handleing finches, doves, quails, and chickens so it's very cool to see something different like what you're doing!

[Darkfirelol1019]

How is he going to teach those birds to fly?

[tanukivoodoo]

@ Darkfirelol1019 - Birds naturally figure out how to fly - I don't think that any of the birds they raise are migratory, and even if they were, they're going to be pets (and I assume zoo animals), so they don't need to be taught anything.

[trexx04]

Wow, that is tite how u raised these birds. Man if I have enough money, I will buy your South American Yellow Headed Vultures. LOL!

[memberjacket]

this is amazing. i always wondered if you could have a crow as a pet. its a little weird though that you can have an "exotic/ foreign" bird, but having a native local one is considered a no no. i found a sparrow chick that fell/kicked out of its nest and raised it. its a year and a half old now. " little brown ones always hanging around trash cans" i guess i've been breaking the law for a year and a half. i would love to own a crow. even got one tattooed on each shoulder. hail odin?

[doberchic]

@memberjacket Sparrows are introduced birds so you may have nothing to worry about. They're considered pest birds as they're not indigenous to N.A. but had a population explosion,. I came across that info looking up racing pigeons & hawk rearing.

[tanukivoodoo]

Corvids already get enough love on the internet, I'm here for the vultures. Beautiful video. I've been checking the ranch's webpage for years, I'm glad to know that it's still around.

[TheRomanCandle790]

i love them ALL!! i want one so bad... if this guy id in bussines im byeing one once i have the money and time...

[EvilCherryMuffin]

omg..crows are soo beautiful....

i was wondering ...how much does a black crow cost...

i wanted to have one for a while now, bit in Slovenia there are no crows for sale...(it's a very small country)

so can you please tell me how much do they cost, and if you know someone that are breeding them in europ...couse i can't go in america....

thanx^^

bye

[mourdour2008]

@EvilCherryMuffin Hi I am the queens keeper of ravens in the UK. The castle aviaries breed and sell african pied crows. and are hoping to have raven hybrids next spring. If you are interested in buying one from us. please get in touch with me.

UK 01423 540704.

[GR3ATL10N]

Um order one and wait a year, he can probably get you a black one. But gosh I'd rather have what was guaranteed for me. Their such gifts.

[AussieFan94]

How Much do you charge

[cajunbait]

Brian is a great guy! I have a beautiful spoiled female from him and I believe she is one of the birds in the video. I wish I had a quarter of his knowledge.

[Manceinion]

@cajunbait

What is she like to care for?

[BlackCalamityJo]

Wow just awesome- I'm always checking your page for updates a vid like this was unexpected!

You're a busy man with that many babies at once :)

[ezekielwrath]

I love the corvid family, such beautiful, intelligent birds. I thank you for making them available to us in America. I one day hope to get a raven from you, but am currently unable to due to various constraints.

[dancincrow]

Awesome video, nice job Brian.

If anyone is interested in becoming a Parent to one of these amazing birds then Brian is the "Go To" guy. I have 3 of his birds and they are truly spectacular with great temperaments & personalities because they were raised by someone who knows what they're doing. He also cares about where the birds are going which is a nice touch.

Thanks again Brian from me, Abi (White Neck Raven), Oreo (Pied Crow) & Craven (Hybrid).

[femmefatale1990]

Did you actually go to him? or where the animals brought to you?

How much were they? I want a black corvid from him.

[dancincrow]

Hi

all the birds I have purchased from Brian have been flown to me from Alabama to California when they were approximately 3 mos old. It was an easy process & Brian always makes sure that they don't fly when it's too hot as this could kill them. His prices are listed on his website or you can call him directly to get the current prices. One of the birds I bought is a Hybrid, Asian Brown Neck Raven/Pied Crow mix & is jet black though there's no guarantee on final color when you buy a Hybrid.

[femmefatale1990]

Ah, thank you. That's too bad (that there's no guarantee on color).
