beautyful bird

[MystikooXT]

I am not sure if this is the kind of bird I have seen and heard out side of my house, but if it is, it has the ugliest voice ever, and so loud. Keeps me up in the morning when I wanna go back to sleep. The other day it was three at once, walking around the house, all screaming. I feel like setting up a trap, just so I can punch it in the face somtimes and let it go again, hopefully it finds a new territory, not 10 metres from my house.

[TadaKiba]

@MystikooXT Where do you like does it make a "cronk" sound? Yes, ravens sound absurd, crows sound better.

[SWEJEHTKCUF]

THEY ARE COMMEN SORTA LIKE THE Mexicans

[victorialanders1]

@Dumno Corvo imperatore is a beautiful name. Thanks for sharing that...I am in love with this bird and have one that lives near my home. He caws out at exactly the time I am to arise for work. He has also raced along side my car as I head out for work. What a most fascinating creature. Namaste

[HerrKnitler]

Take a good look at our future avian overlord. The war is coming I tell you!

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

I loveeee ravens.

[cloudstrifeio]

i'm deathly obsessed with Ravens!!, i would love nothing more than to own one :D

[Hatamoto227]

Is it Hugin or Munin?

[DAVZEE3]

If a dog is mans best friend. the raven is mine.

[wirthstef]

an impressive bird, I like the way, it is presented here

[uzumakikim]

I love ravens ;D

[AyakoEmerald]

I love ravens x3

[johnnycheck99]

How do you tell a raven from a rook in the field ? They both look the same to me. Big, bulky crows with large beaks ?

[AyakoEmerald]

beatiful creatures... I love them.

[tomtalker2000]

I think its FANTASTIC, showing these types of videos. Not only does it "educate folks", but preserves the Common Raven, from further persecution. I've been in the avian field myself, for nearly 25yrs now. And the "Corvid species", have always remained my favorites. That being said, if anyone out there who sees this video, wants to learn more about these gorgeous birds. I'd be more than happy, to field any questions from you. As i've spent a GREAT deal of my life, studying these birds.

[dragoswow94]

Ravens are cool

[MaureenMcCor]

Help- My son just dropped off a baby Raven for me to care for. I put him in one of my parakeet cages- he is a big bird! I tried to feed him some dog food and a couple woms- what should I feed him? If I let him out side will other ravens help him or will the neighbor's cat help Him?

[n15M0]

i have a question. How do ravens couple? like female and male

[BR177]

@n15M0 the male fertilize the female so she can lay the eggs and incubate them so they can hatch into birds

[n15M0]

@BR177 well yes. sorry i formulated my question wrong. do they stay together, like marriage kinda, or they go on to other?

[BR177]

@n15M0 I know some species of birds from the parrots family are lifetime monogamous (2 birds together for their entire life) while others are serial monogamy (coupled for a season only) like the pidgeons family species.

I looked it up on wikipedia and it says the corvus family is mongamous cooperative, which means the are monogamous and they form families of coupled birds to help in the breeding.. like dolphins I believe they do the same. But it does not specify if they are lifetime or seasonal

[BR177]

@n15M0 interesting... the top three species form social groups to school their offspring like dolphins, ravens and humans... but only ravens are monogamous. Dolphins and Humans are not monogamous and they even show homosexual behaviour.

[stanleycupchamps2009]

such a beautiful bird

[mswertfa]

This was helpful...crating a cg animation clip which has a raven in it. This reference footage is helps.

[Popfan200princ3ss]

this was no use 2 us at all!!!!!

[guyNbluejeans]

Birds are the most wonderful creatures God put on this earth. They're smart and beautiful!!

Parents, don't be like my dumb father and buy your sons a bb gun because they'll more than likely shoot birds for "the fun of it."

Buy your kids cameras and/or art supplies ... and tell them to cherish these creatures by studying them and reading up on them.

God did not put these wonderful animals on the planet to be used as targets (as my stupid dad thought)!

[Mduenisch]

lol? That's assuming god put them here :P

I suppose birds are quite amazing specimens aesthetically, I would have to say it's all mating rituals and show. the best bird ever by far is either the Macaw or the mimic bird, for their amazing intelligence (macaw) or their superb grasping of a sound, just after hearing it (mimic obviously).

[Psybur]

@Mduenisch Common ravens (Corvus corax) are often regarded by ornithologists as the most intellegent of all birds; they're one of the few species to display the often rare mental ability of 'insight'-solving a problem through an innate understanding of the situation rather than through trial and error. Mimicing, which is also a common trait among most corvids, is seen throughout the bird world, not just in parrots; they're just the most well known for this ability.

[Spectralancer]

You don't know what you're talking about; not all kids shoot birds when they get BB guns, and besides, you don't know what God put birds on Earth for.

[guyNbluejeans]

Did I say all kids shoot birds..?

[xenos60]

And make them absolute fags. Ever seen a crow pick out the eyes of a living, innocent lamb? That's what your fucking wonderful animals are capable of.

[guyNbluejeans]

@xenos60 No I haven't and neither have you.

[Oblomow713]

Wow, ein Rabe....

[onkelmuh]

echt?^^

[BrainEatingMeteor]

By the way, Baltimore beat Pittsburgh... this bird should be happy.

[0nePumpChump]

I miss living around ravens. They're around in the southwestern US, but there aren't a lot of them.

Coolest ravens are in Southeast Alaska. They're HUGE...the big ones are almost as big as the bald eagles, and they'll fight (and lose, but still) with them for prime perches.

[MistressAmethyst]

Simply beautiful.  :-)

[Kullerkeksi1]

Yeah!

[TheIxtlan]

I just found in the internet " Corvus unicolor" crow that is thought to be extinct is found not extinct at all. They are not extinct. I check the utube if there is a video clip of this crow but it seems there are none.

[ivaguidone]

N.B.

It's not common raven!!

CORVUS CORAX is ROYAL or IMPERIAL raven!!

The "common raven" is Corvus Frugilegus!

[Turmfalk]

Corvus corax = Common Raven (or Northern Raven),

Corvus frugilegus = Rook

[FullmetalAngyl]

What handsom beauty.

[Davegilcross]

plus their great at football lol

[snipedog]

it's a medieval epic band too :D

[PatrioticEagle50]

So beautiful.

[rackTjipper]

hey......you........what are you doing here? see you in 8 minutes on my balcony...lazy dullard! .....you know who I mean! ;-) be careful!

[joeysn7hvn]

" I am Roac son of Carc. Carc is dead,but he was well known to you once. It is a hundred years and three and fifty since i came out of the egg,but i do not forget what my father told me. Now i am Chief of the great ravens of the mountain"

[Lalanii]

Oh, such a beautiful bird. Intelligent, too. A lot of people I know see them as pests but I love them.

[MrCubensis]

i love them too

i like to talk with them ;-)

they are very intelligent and lice on a other frequenz

[Dumno7]

Wonderful bird... in Italy we don't call it "common raven" but "corvo imperatore" (emperor raven) because it's the biggest and the most beautiful of crows.

[oldirtybusta]

Beatiful Bird!

I admire them because of their intelegence and beaty Great combination...!

Nice Video!

[Breiniak]

6 months ago, I have seen one near my house, in Belgium. Where they are extinct since 1917-19. Rare occurence, it made the jackdraws go crazy who felt threatened by its presence.

It was a huge bird.

[Breiniak]

jackdaws I meant of course. ^^

[the1000flyingravens]

Man, ravens are so dang smart... and beautiful too.... ^_^

[ccoraxfan]

Aww, she's knocking! This is the one call which is unique to female ravens. It's a grand display which basically means "I'm female, and I want the world to know!" It's called knocking because it sounds like a rapid descending clatter or repetitive knock. Such a beautiful bird!

[6BlackRavens]

See him go "Hahahahaha Humans lol"

[LiberatedSpirit]

lmao

[xyqk]

beautiful bird

[TroyaE117]

They really are magnificent birds. A big male will have a wing span of like nearly 5 feet, I understand.

[journeystarr]

So haunting & beautiful.
