Ravens
Video: Getting a "Birdie"

Some ravens have taken to stealing and hiding golf balls, perhaps because they look like eggs.

    Given the intelligence of the Raven I would imagine they are merely trying to save a “Human Egg” from being smashed by the human with the golf club. And maybe to have a human as a pet once it has hatched but, that is just my opinion of this intelligent aviarian

    Anyone who has birds knows that this Raven is just out for some fun. It has no intention of eating that ball. Birds love to play with balls. And by hiding it, he’s just making sure that golfer never sees it again!

    I have a pet raven named Odin. He used to have a hatch mate named alundra, that used to be absolutely obsessed with milk caps. And wanting him to play with her she would deposit them at his feet, which he would promptly shew away. After her death he started to gather them much like the one in the video and put them in her perch. I think for a type of mourning after her, not sure but still very invoking.

    Helpful in trying to identify a possible local pair of ravens from the more probable carrion crows.

    Someone said that RAVENS can pick up a small dog, is this true? I don’t think their talons are large enough.
    Why does a RAVEN come into my backyard and chase my dog? Is he looking for food that my dog might have out there? Thanks
