That was SO beautiful. A truly magical video. I wish so much I could do that to the wild Ravens that come in my yard. I think they are just beautiful birds, so smart and sweet natured. Thank you for posting. Can't say I wasn't envious. :)
I've been interacting with ravens and crows since I was 7. They are beautiful, intelligent and social animals. Some look down on them, but I have always loved having them around. You can play with them in so many great ways!
And, trust me when I say, they DO have a sense of humor, though it may be somewhat rudimentary and not able to perform Python skits in your backyard.
Also saw a young budgie in Western Australia land on a friend's shoulder without any goading or plying. No mistake either.
THIS IS STAYJED!!! LAWL!!!!! I believe you'd never seen this bird before. Ravens are pretty curious and intelligent creatures, not like Cardinals who divebomb people all fucking day. So, cool.
So far I've pet wild: sandhill cranes, turkeys, chickadees, down woodpeckers, nut-hatches, red-winged blackbirds, Malard ducks and Canadian geese. It's not hard to believe this is a wild (but well fed) bird. I'm just surprised he came and sat without any food out.
@snardlefarb Yeah, the secret is: food! The sandhill cranes at our local state park love blueberries. I wouldn't really recommend feeding them though, they'll take the food but they also bite like hell, lol. The other little birds will come and land in your hand after people feeding them for generations.
@brujahbattalion It is simply a gift. The birds know you mean no harm and somehow you CAN communicate to them, while other bird lovers simply cannot get within reaching distance, no matter how friendly their intentions are. It has to be like the gift of dowsing and such. Not everyone can do it.
@Shadowblood66 Do your homework first. They demand A LOT of attention and will outlive you. A great book is Mind of the Raven by Bernd Heinrich. It'll blow you away.
@snardlefarb They do indeed demand a lot of attention. But I will give it ALL the attention it needs! Also my parents will regulary interact with the bird.
I'm still researching though. There's not much info available about ravens. So I'm still learning. I'll make the descision in about 3-4 months, because I don't want to rush it.
@Shadowblood66 Yeah, due to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act it's illegal to own Common Ravens in the U.S. But, I've heard of places that breed African White Necked Ravens, which are legal to own. They also breed some Common/White Necked hybrid ravens that can be legally owned as pets.
But White Necked ravens, even if they have all-black feathers, are noticeably different than Common Ravens; their beak is HUGE.
@AmyK007 That may be right.. but Australia already HAS awesome animals in the wild! That is why they don't want to risk an outbreak of exotic animals I suppose.
Do ravens also live in Australia?
Everything you can encounter in Holland are pidgeons and cows :P
@ThInTrM Btw it can be rediculous what's legal to keep as pets here... I've seen flying foxes for sale... Eagles...Squirrels... Skunks (why would anyone want a skunk!?)... Monkeys....
As long as it isn't on the protected species list, it's legal here 0_______o
@yettii0077 for the love of all things holy and FOR THE RECORD. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I EVER SAW THIS BIRD. Not before, not after. ONE DAY ONLY. Went back a couple times, never happened again. Believe me or not, I am done with this question. My advice? Be open to odd things. Good stuff happens. Cheers.
@snardlefarb Hey, this is definetly one of the coolest things ive seen on youtube, i believe when you knocked on the wooden table you "invited" the bird over. I know that parrots knock 3 times on wood to tell you that you are welcome. Maybe the raven was curious and didnt think you were any danger for it. Its amazing !
Breton bards and Druids had a tradition of having a raven friend. Those bird can talk if they are taught, and are more keen to learn tricks and all if they are free. Since ravens can live well over 50 years if it's a youngster who becomes friend, you have a friend for life.
theseamonkeysass your an complete totally jerk off go cut your self and stop acting like a hot shot. i shall send my army of PET ravins to casterate u.

How are you people not seeing that this guy is petting his pet crow. How stupid are you all to think a wild crow would get that close and comes at the call of a whistle...sigh...Uploader is a moron!
@theseamonkeysass I have had close encounters with wild "RAVENS," (you called it a crow Mr know it all) within a couple of feet, so far they have been to shy to let me touch them.
Fantastic video. This is one trusting bird and I presume he is used to humans. Nonetheless it must be very satisfying to be able to stroke him like this and I hope nobody takes unfair advantage of his trust in humans.
@95ZR580 thanks. good eye. but it's not a moped, it's a Yamaha Chappy. compelled to promote it, it's given me so much. including this encounter. it finds things for me.
Ravens and crows are smarter than most people give them credit for. Ive noticed unique behaviors like in spring. If i leave an aluminum pie plate out with brightly colored strings and sequins. the crows will take those pieces for their nest and replace that item with a rock or pine cone.
I also noticed that certain murders of them gather bye the hundreds at specific hours of the morning and night and in specific spots to do whatever it is they do. oh...! and have you seen a crow funeral!? WOW!
Is it so hard to bekieve that this bird was raised by a human and relesed? Birds know enought oknow who st stay away from. This guy probly just reminded him of his handler.
WOW!!! So lucky! I had a Crow that was really friendly, out at my camp a long time ago. It used to come right up while I was outside having a smoke and sit on the table next to me. Couldn't pet it, but it was really interested in anything I did. If I was walking around the yard, it would fly overhead, land nearby and watch me.
This guy is identical to the one we had for years, "Black Bart," who was known throughout the area. He knew a few words and sometimes crows would try to mob him as he was a threat to their turf. Ravens besides crows and magpies are smart and crafty, period.

Raven: yes, I'm a good bird, now where's the damn food?
That was about as amazing as petting a duck on a park bench. Of course a raven will approach you if you're at a picnic table, and put up with your nonsense for a while if it gets something to eat.
If it was truly wild, it wouldn't be hanging around outdoor dining areas. It's about as wild as your average city squirrel.
@kozmon0t I think you're the cocky one, actually. You're also pretty obnoxious, for having the gall to talk down to snardlefarb.
This raven is as wild as any of its rural or wilderness-dwelling kin. That's one of the definitions of the word; "not tamed or domesticated." There's plenty of videos on YouTube of ravens in rural areas and wilderness interacting with humans just like this.
There was no good reason for you to give snardlefarb crap over this video. None at all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@HooshIsASoup and just who the fuck do you think you are? I gave an opinion with no personal comments, and snardlefarb made a snide, cocky answer, so I responded in kind. Now you've got your nose in the air too. Fuck off, nerd.
@kozmon0t No, I don't think I will fuck off. You were being a condescending asshole to this guy, trying to tell him that animals only tolerate his presence because he might give them food. "An opinion with no personal comments?" Yeah, right.
I see now that you're a condescending asshole in general, though. If you don't like that people are going to call you out for being a dick for no reason, then delete your comments or apologize. Simple as that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@HooshIsASoup No, there's nothing personal in the first comment, it's a criticism of the video. If you can't take criticism, disable the comments. I don't care what you or anyone else thinks, or has seen in a video, I've spent enough time in truly wild areas to know only human-habituated animals, not wild, will do that.
Getting a cocky, smug-ass response to mentioning that simple fact warranted a reply pointing out its cockiness.
Read your own comment to see "condescending." U will fuck off.
@kozmon0t There's plenty of YouTube videos out there involving ravens interacting with humans that speak against your supposedly all-authoritative experiences. Again: you had no good reason to be a condescending asshole. Not now, and not when you were attacking snardlefarb.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@HooshIsASoup oh, you've seen videos. I didn't know you'd seen videos. I guess that outweighs my experience in roadless wilderness areas where the animals have never seen people.
You'll eventually pull that do-gooder stick out of your butt and fuck off, like I said. If you're gonna troll, at least learn how. Creating multiple accounts to vote down comments shows you've only worked yourself into a snit. You come across like a librarian with PMS - and you've been OWNED.
@kozmon0t Actually, yes, it does outweigh your experience, because it's the experiences of others in the wilderness and rural areas. You've got a highly overstated opinion of yourself if you think you're the only person who's ever spent time around animals away from civilization.
So no, you haven't owned me, sorry. You're just demonstrating how much of a conceited asshole you are.
It would be awesome to have a friend like this whether it be a raven or a crow. Both are really smart from what I've learned and to be trusted by one as you obviously are would be the ultimate experience.
@MrRazorblade999 not the wieght the sheer hight and the wing span on the ones we have can get close to 6ft but the usual size for the wingspan around here is about 3-4ft
well besides all these dumb comments from these stupid people ,, that was pretty nice other than the fact that your title tells a lie , cause that is no wild bird that was hand fed or raised by the person on the video
@MrJonathan1492 Not true. Ravens and crows are extremely intelligent and are able to live in the wild and befriend people. True, this may happen more often in parks where they know people have food. But they're still wild. And have figured out that they can interact with humans and get food, and maybe a petting that's enjoyable. Don't we sometimes interact with humans and get something out of it? They're very attracted to bright and shiney things. A lovely animal.
help meeee! ii found a raven, and he cant fly and is acting sort of weird,so i got a big card board box and pute him in,he is in my room rite now,i gave him some grapes but i dont know what else to do,he dose not look sick,but his wing seems a little off and hes is NOT a baby
@grapey08 take it to a vet. the bird's wing might be broken and they could possibly fix it. check online and see what foods a raven can eat because if its wing is broken and the vet fixes it it will need time to heal. I hope i was of some help.
And this was a wild raven? Just came up to you? Wow. Kind of trumps all my crow encounters - they keep their distance from me, but they're constantly wanting my attention and communicating with me. They call on me all the time. Morning and night. And now noon sometimes too. But they don't come close.
I am talking about petting wild animals...not about human relationships or premature thoughts. You understand me quite well. Touching a birds feathers with greasy human hands may distroy the plumage.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why do people always have to pet animals? A stupid human behaviour!!! Lots of animals don't like it.
Specially birds should not be touched on the back. It might damage the feathers which they need to fly. If you have to pet a bird then touch his breast-feathers.
@tanastish you don't just touch someone's chest when you first meet. It will be hard to establish a equal-level relationship due to the counterpart might perceive you as a perv.

@kozmon0t I think you're the cocky one, actually. You're also pretty obnoxious, for having the gall to talk down to snardlefarb.
This raven is as wild as any of its rural or wilderness-dwelling kin. That's one of the definitions of the word; "not tamed or domesticated." There's plenty of videos on YouTube of ravens in rural areas and wilderness interacting with humans just like this.
There was no good reason for you to give snardlefarb crap over this video. None at all.

@HooshIsASoup and just who the fuck do you think you are? I gave an opinion with no personal comments, and snardlefarb made a snide, cocky answer, so I responded in kind. Now you've got your nose in the air too. Fuck off, nerd.
kozmon0t 3 months ago
@kozmon0t No, I don't think I will fuck off. You were being a condescending asshole to this guy, trying to tell him that animals only tolerate his presence because he might give them food. "An opinion with no personal comments?" Yeah, right.
I see now that you're a condescending asshole in general, though. If you don't like that people are going to call you out for being a dick for no reason, then delete your comments or apologize. Simple as that.

@HooshIsASoup No, there's nothing personal in the first comment, it's a criticism of the video. If you can't take criticism, disable the comments. I don't care what you or anyone else thinks, or has seen in a video, I've spent enough time in truly wild areas to know only human-habituated animals, not wild, will do that.
Getting a cocky, smug-ass response to mentioning that simple fact warranted a reply pointing out its cockiness.
Read your own comment to see "condescending." U will fuck off.

@kozmon0t There's plenty of YouTube videos out there involving ravens interacting with humans that speak against your supposedly all-authoritative experiences. Again: you had no good reason to be a condescending asshole. Not now, and not when you were attacking snardlefarb.

@HooshIsASoup oh, you've seen videos. I didn't know you'd seen videos. I guess that outweighs my experience in roadless wilderness areas where the animals have never seen people.
You'll eventually pull that do-gooder stick out of your butt and fuck off, like I said. If you're gonna troll, at least learn how. Creating multiple accounts to vote down comments shows you've only worked yourself into a snit. You come across like a librarian with PMS - and you've been OWNED.
kozmon0t 3 months ago
@kozmon0t Actually, yes, it does outweigh your experience, because it's the experiences of others in the wilderness and rural areas. You've got a highly overstated opinion of yourself if you think you're the only person who's ever spent time around animals away from civilization.
So no, you haven't owned me, sorry. You're just demonstrating how much of a conceited asshole you are.

ravens are brilliant at assessing a situation. coming into contact with another animal like a human? not so strange. :P

It would be awesome to have a friend like this whether it be a raven or a crow. Both are really smart from what I've learned and to be trusted by one as you obviously are would be the ultimate experience.

@dade356 The biggest ravens weighs at most 2 kg. A medium sized dog about 10-15 kg.
MrRazorblade999 4 months ago
@MrRazorblade999 Yes, but birds have hollow bones along with feathers rather than fur...making them lighter. You know, so they can fly.

snardlefarb 5 months ago 2
@MrJonathan1492 Not true. Ravens and crows are extremely intelligent and are able to live in the wild and befriend people. True, this may happen more often in parks where they know people have food. But they're still wild. And have figured out that they can interact with humans and get food, and maybe a petting that's enjoyable. Don't we sometimes interact with humans and get something out of it? They're very attracted to bright and shiney things. A lovely animal.

I would think if the bird didn't like it, he would have flown away or shown some sort of retaliation.

grapey08 5 months ago
@grapey08 take it to a vet. the bird's wing might be broken and they could possibly fix it. check online and see what foods a raven can eat because if its wing is broken and the vet fixes it it will need time to heal. I hope i was of some help.

And this was a wild raven? Just came up to you? Wow. Kind of trumps all my crow encounters - they keep their distance from me, but they're constantly wanting my attention and communicating with me. They call on me all the time. Morning and night. And now noon sometimes too. But they don't come close.

I am talking about petting wild animals...not about human relationships or premature thoughts. You understand me quite well. Touching a birds feathers with greasy human hands may distroy the plumage.

Why do people always have to pet animals? A stupid human behaviour!!! Lots of animals don't like it.
Specially birds should not be touched on the back. It might damage the feathers which they need to fly. If you have to pet a bird then touch his breast-feathers.

@tanastish breast feathers? WAAAY too intimate. We just met.
snardlefarb 5 months ago 67
@tanastish you don't just touch someone's chest when you first meet. It will be hard to establish a equal-level relationship due to the counterpart might perceive you as a perv.
