I for one welcome our new raven overlords.

I know a number of people that would not figure how to pick up the string without hands. I've seen scores of ravens every day of my life & they still amaze me. One in our neighborhood has taken to killing pigeons after watching a hawk do the same. In another town they started "fluffing out" to cover the light censor on the street lights so they would have a warm place to sit when it turned on.

They can't be as bad as the birdbrain I currently work for !!!

They remind me of the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE WOW

[Ryan Theurgist]

Sure, they're like big stinky carrion chomping feather-dusters but they can be trained to talk and to retrieve objects. Like wallets.

that bird is smarter than me. I'd have just jumped off the branch to get the meat.

I remember when I had my shamanic initiation, I was brought here in a half psychotic state by the raven. Glad the time is over, but now it's interesting looking back at :)
