These videos are posted to show a little of the life for a crow with a pet human. Ramses is a piebald crow with white on the wings, is a rescue bird, does not fly and never has (which he often forgets, then falls and breaks feathers (making the matter worse).
He lives on a perch, does not own a cage, has a base diet of minced meat and food scraps (loves pasta) and is presently on an amino acid supplement in an attempt to support feather growth, which have never really presented themselves strongly, anyway!
Ramses is a Carrion Crow - a native of S.E England here he lives with Zeezee, a wife, and three children. Although he does not eat eyes, yet is excellent at pecking (picking) people whom express stupid, inane, boisterous, uneducated or opinionated acts of pretending to know how to behave with a crow, whilst obviously forgetting that the bottom line of all earthbound creatures is to respect the needs of character and body; free expression of will, eating, sleeping, exercise and hygiene.
Ramses does not suffer fools easily, and thus you can expect aggressively one-eyed unanswerable armchair opinions on animal legality and rights to be unapproved on this page, simply because debates of this genre are available for reading on any other 'pet crow' video and (more correctly), I'm not interested in changing other people's opinion.
So... let's kill the motor on contentious issues right here, and enjoy these videos for what they are, a legacy of circumstance that is a sincerely intimate sharing of the life of one little black bird with a young family that is grateful for the privelage to experience the perspective of (and lend input to) one of the most intelligent observers of the human creature with whom which we co-inhabit this planet.
Sincere regards,
Zeezee
About this video...
Ramses loves to bathe. Here is is most usual method of taking a bath: In the shower cubicle with some tape over the drain hole (and something heavy over that, do prevent his pecking holes to let the water out!). The little bobbing motion is indicative of his taking a bath, no matter what the water depth - he once 'took a bath' under a stream of water in some long grass, using the same motion!
I once had a bunny that was named Ramses =) R.I.P. Friend
We was pretty unique, had some white long hair behind his head at his shoulders, but the rest of him was brown.

@showlottathings - When rameses was found, he was (it is believed) suffering nutritional deficiency which caused his inner wing feathers to be white and not 'self heal'. With his feathers in this state, they didn't hold air and consequently, Rams fell down and hit the ground a lot. His feathers progressively broke off until he lost all of them on his tail and most from his wings. A manx crow! What an embarrassment it must have been for him! Rams now has a new coat of feathers, all black.
