Are there any Ravens living in south east England ? There is a pub in Hexton called 'The Raven' but i have never seen any- plenty of Jackdaws and Carrion Crows.
As a hunter, I've been led to many elk by ravens. I can't imagine why some moron hunters want to kill & thus alienate them. Evil humans vs the Na'Vi/Pandora all over again I guess.
....Music is a little on the shrill and distracting side....Would've preferred hearing just the raven.
*is mildly amused at the snarkage going on between different types of birds lovers and their inability to see the bigger picture with how different species affects another in each habitat*
Here the crows make a knockin sound ,like a woodpecker but louder,and they caw ,but the two caws are not exactly alike (raven & crow) Crows are fun to watch,as are Ravens , Crows steal small birds eggs and chicks ,even eat sparrows ,along with roadkill, larger hawks do the same to the crows..Watchin 4 crows attempt to get back their young from a hawk or falcon was interesting ,one flap by that Hawk and it was gone
I hunt crows and that one is not furious, four caws in a row means their curious to what is going on, three caws is a distress call that will bring crows in to the area

Hunting crows is horrible...I have a pet crow and a pet raven at home. The Dept of Fish and Wildlife approve of killing crows but if you find an injured or baby crow, you're to just let it die instead of trying to rehab it. how messed up is that!?
hunting them isnt horrible, they are condsidered a varmint bird. Dont get me wrong watching them is just as interesting without shooting. I would love to have one as a pet , makes a great live decoy

they're awesome birds.. one of the smartest. who cares what people consider them, it's only cause they're all creepy lookin/sounding that they get a bad rep and theirs really no personal gain off hunting them that i know of unless you eat them??
Rabbit01vw, it's no use arguing the point with crow lovers. They'll see you as horrible, regardless of your reasons.
It's like Starling lovers going after Purple Martin lovers because the latter tend to kill Starlings to protect Purple Martins. Starlings destroy Purple Martin nests and kill the babies.
But that doesn't matter to them, because you're killing Starlings! (For shame!)
Well, you probably think you're very clever but the same thing is happening in the UK. (I'm American.. I just live here) Now the starlings are almost extinct. Would THAT make you happy?
Brenna: And the Purple Martins are losing their homes and their babies to Starlings, as are Bluejays.
Get over yourself, please, and accept the fact that humans can and will hunt one kind of animal to protect another. If you don't like it, don't release rescued crows and starlings into the wild. Keep them as pets.
This is hilarious. Brennna went nuts and harassed me on my user page AND mail over my comment, calling herself "a friend to ALL animals (except humans)" (HAH!) and that she loves all birds but that I should grow up and get an interest in "REAL birds, like crows."
Purple Martins--or as she called 'em, purple thingies--aren't real enough for her!
I suggest watching "Starling Attack in a Purple Martin Nest" here on YouTube. Read the comments, too. Maybe you'll understand things a bit better.
First of all, I didn't harass you. I may have commented on your page but it was so long ago that I don't recall. You must have said something ignorant for me to comment at all. Why did you feel the need to tell people that I commented on your page? Seems a bit childish . But it's people like you that make me prefer animals. By the way, I don't use the word "thingies" and I never sent anything to your mail. How could I have done that? Grow up.
@Brennna "Guess what! I'm still here and I'm going to tell someone to grow up a year after they commented about the way I harassed them in private 'cause I couldn't win an argument publicly back then! :)"
@HooshIsASoup No, I'm just a regular person who gets fed up with stupid kids bothering me for no reason. I'm not hurting anyone, I don't understand why that kid verbally attacked me. I love birds. If that means I have issues then I do.
@Brennna You can say that, but by all accounts you're the one who's being so extremely petty you won't let it go.
I mean, he made that comment a year ago--complaining about YOU harassing HIM, no less--and yet you're the one going "I'm still here and I'm gonna call you childish and tell you to grow up! :)"
Then you have the gall to act like you're the one being victimized! That's some sweet logic, there. Call people childish a year after the fact and then claim you're the one who's the victim.
What about humans? Haven't they led animals to extinction, thanks to stupid ideas like yours?
Ravens sometimes hunt rats or even small mammals, but the damage they do is insignificant. That's a scientific fact. You eat far more farm animals than ravens, you know.
And after all, what's more natural than a bird trying to find food?
koravius: So, by calling my ideas stupid, are you saying you'd prefer a world where humans have absolutely no contact with animals at all, even in trying to protect species from extinction?
Sounds like you adhere to PETA's "segregation from animals" philosophy.
Unfortunately, your claims that crows do insignificant damage to agriculture are false; crows can and do inflict millions of dollars in damage annually, and to a wide range of crops (including almond, walnut, and pistachio crops).
That's a furious crow? Bah, you haven't seen the ones that come around my house around 4pm every day. It's like they need to remind the whole neighborhood that they own the place. What a racket!
I am an ammature corvidologist and that is most certainly a raven!!! a beautiful one at that! i have "little ravens"- corvis mellori around my neighbourhood and theyr much smaller than these types shown here.
Nope, I guarantee those are crows. Ravens have much more dominant forheads with bigger beaks than crows. In my city in Canada, our Ravens tower over crows by about 4 inches. LOL!!
There are different types of raven, this one is from Ireland and like all British ravens is much bigger than a crow, and has a different voice (ravens make a sort of prruk prruk sound, crows a crarr crarr sound), Canadian ravens may not look the same but that doesn't mean it is not a British raven.
Are your friend is professional operator? It shot very professional and reminds me some scientific film about ravens life.Generally i think the ravens are most clever birds on the Earth. Thanks to your friend for he shot it, and to u for u post it here.
Doesn't look furious to me! Merely concerned about the nest and letting you know not to come too close. When they're furious, they pelt you in the head with those stones...
lol It almost looks like its trying to throw stuff at you

iorost: That is a grossly incorrect and ignorant statement on your part. Many species can drive other animals to extinction.
Predators don't care about conserving other species; all they see in other animals is food.
HUMANS are the only animals capable of making concerted efforts to rescue other animals from extinction.
A fact of which, if you opened your eyes, you would see plenty of examples.

Why in the WORLD would you hunt crows??? A DECOY? Wow. What has happened to the world? That is pathetic.
Brennna 2 years ago
Hunting crows is not pathetic nor is it horrible. Crows and ravens have always been a major threat to farm animals, crops, and other wild species.
You can't teach crows not to wreck crops, kill farm animals, or endangered species. They must be hunted to keep their numbers down.
I think the word grows more pathetic with people like YOU in it. You, who would rather see crows ruin farms and drive other animals to extinction.
