Not sure, but I've got it narrowed down to three: Fluffy-backed tit babbler, Guttulated Foliage-gleaner, or a Spangled Drongo.

How stupid can people really be! If a human came up to you and couldn't talk but opened its mouth and pointed to it, do you even think maybe the person is hungry? All animals are the same as us when it comes to food. Find it some food dude.

[snardlefarb]

@fancycrow For the record: I had already fed this creature half of a large roast beef sandwich. It's crop was full, was worried I'd overfed it. Could you do me a favor and read the top comment? In the future maybe read other comments first before blasting people? Thanks.

The way this raven follows you, flying ahead to where it thinks you're going, reminds me a lot of an experience I had walking to a friend's house, where either a crow or a raven followed me from my home all the way to my friend's for no reason. I hadn't interacted with it all, aside from talking to it as I would pass by all the time it watching me.

@VincentKurayama They are biding their time. Assessing us. Preparing for the Big Takeover.

"I hadn't interacted with it all, aside from talking to it as I would pass by..."

Be glad you have been approved.

Look forward to meeting you soon.

But why is it like a writing desk?

[snardlefarb]

@WolfSkate you win the WTF award! could you please elaborate?

[AKScrambler]

HAHAHAHA great set of vids!  To all the people saying it must be a trained that is not necessarily true. Ravens are food driven an not all that afraid of people If you don't act aggressively to them they generally aren't concerned with you and will go about their day. Like people some are personable and some are jerks. This is just a meeting of two calm friendly dudes at a campsite. One was hungry and one had food. Nothing wrong with breaking a little bread with an interesting stranger. :)

@AKScrambler appreciate your wisdom. cannot thank you enough. wish the world was full of folks like you.

would all future critics please read this comment?

@Shadowblood66 Trust me if I could have got that thing to leave I wouldn't have. I just couldn't take cleaning mounds of crap off the hood of my truck and and winshield. They are very intresting birds though. They have a personality of their own.

[Shadowblood66]

@MxRider710 You... shot... a raven? Not cool!! =/

They are about as intelligent as chimps and dolphins. They are too cool :D dont kill them!

[Shadowblood66]

@viddyo Ravens can vary in size, but they grow about 2x to 3x bigger than crows.

I think that this was a young raven in this video. It's not a crow though, judging by the feathers on it's throat and the curved beak

[Khaosispower]

@WolfSkate Because Poe wrote on both?

[comets69]

You sound like you smoke about 5 packs a day?

[viddyo]

That is a crow: ravens are huge by comparison.

[MxRider710]

Im glad you had a good run in with a raven.I had this one raven that would stay around my house all day and get on top of my truck and peck at the glass and crap all over the place. The dang thing even would take my winshield wipers and beat the living heck outta of them. I mean they would be lifted up and flipped with bird crap all over the place.I mean this raven stayed around and did this for 2 weeks.Figured I could scare him off, didnt work tho. Got to the point to where I just shot him.

@snardlefarb Alice in Wonderland reference.
