  • Hello everyone :) I'm back after a five year gap, wow!
    Look out for loads of new content on my falconry birds in the coming weeks.
    However this video today is all about a very special bird of mine I'd like you to meet. She's not a bird of prey but she's very awesome in her own way and I am planning a mini series all about her.
    Fable is a two year old raven. She is captive bred and I hand reared her from just a few weeks old.
    Ravens can live over 40 years so she has a lot of time ahead of her to learn. She can already articulate over 50 words and noises and loves to solve puzzles and hide/bury her favourite things - more on that in the next videos.
    For lots more footage and updates join me on FB:

    If you are about to write "SET HER FREE SHE SHOULD BE IN THE WILD"...please watch this video. It explains all about her:
    • Fable the Raven | Q&A ...
    I am a falconer. All of my birds are captive bred, not wild, but they free fly on a daily basis. And my birds of prey hunt with me.
    The bars on her aviary are to stop her climbing. If I was to use square mesh she would climb up and push her lovely wing and tail feathers through the wire and break/damage them. Bars allow her to see out (she likes to stick her head out to see what I'm doing) but keeps her in good condition. She free flies too, however sometimes when I open the doors of her aviary she can't be bothered to go out. Ravens like what they know and to her, her aviary is her territory and safe space!
    Our falconry birds have long lifespans compared to wild birds because we are able to give them a good diet everyday, vet care if ever needed, and plenty of free flying, whilst helping them avoid dangers their wild counterparts would come across.
    Around 80% of wild birds of prey will not survive beyond a year old, and the average lifespan is around 3 years. Our captive bred birds can live well into their 30s and 40s, sometimes longer. My oldest bird is 33, and is expected to live around 40 years.
    Falconry techniques allow us to successfully rescue injured wild birds of prey and release them as strong, fit individuals. Falconers spend a lot of time working with wild bird of prey projects conserving some very endangered species.
    Don't forget to like & share, and let me know what you'd like to see and learn about in the comments below.
    See you all soon!

    Before you say SHE SHOULD BE FREE - she is!
    If you have questions like...
    - why fable is in an aviary
    - why I use bars rather than mesh (so she doesn't damage her feathers)
    - does she free fly (yes!)
    Then please watch this video where I explain more about her life:

      They take care of their family members.

    hey! i'm a Norwegian, and when i was a child around the age of 4 and up to 9, my best friend was a Raven i fed every day. i named him Hugin from the Legend of Odin's Ravens, and he used to talk with me and LOVED being cuddled and pettet. i miss him incredibly much... my dad ended up shooting Hugin after he thought i was being attacked by him, when in reality i had hidden crumbs in several different pockets for him to find as a little game i like to play with him... i never really forgave him for that either as he did not accept that i called it a friend and he called me "Crazy for being friends with wild animals." i really wish to get myself another Raven as a pet so i can relive those good old days.
    Edit: i taught it my name even. it used to give me a pretty jolly "Heeelloo Erik!" everytime i met him. i miss him so much!!

    5 days ago, my wife told me that a raven had been hanging around the house all day and appeared to have an injured wing. So I immediately got a dish with clean water, strawberries, and roasted chicken legs and put it on a plate. While at work, our boys have been replacing the water with fresh clean water and an occasional can of sardines. Today, my son woke me up and said that now there are 2 ravens. I went out, and the new one was real vocal. It wasn't hanging out by the end of the day. But the one with a wing issue is still around. It can glide and fly off to a branch if it has to. But this is so cool. They are so beautiful. Thank you for this video.

Unfortunately the words he learned were of the more colorful vernacular since my great grandfather was in the Navy. When he passed, there was a news article about a Raven sitting in the downtown square calling pedestrians motherf*ckers and sons of b*tches. 😂Peepers missed him.

I get that "training"/conditioning plays a big part in it but even for people who take care of multiple ravens, it seems like only 1 or 2 of the group will tend to mimic their person/s.

Then I heard a very clear meow coming from the tree. I stopped and looked, thinking a cat was up the tree, bu no, just the two birds. It kept meowing, and I was surprised at how realistic it was, and was wondering why a raven would be meowing at me. Then I noticed a big fluffy cat wandering in the yard, looking in the bushes and getting annoyed trying to find where the other cat was. It seemed clear that the raven was doing it just to annoy the cat haha, made me laugh.

    When I was going to college, I had to walk fairly far every day to get to class. Lots of ravens hung out around the neighborhoods I walked through, and they loved dropping walnuts onto the road for passing by cars to crack open. Every now and then, I'd go stomp on one of the walnuts to crack it open for them. By the end of my 4 years, I frequently had ravens sitting on the ground near dropped walnuts waiting for me to crack them open. Amazing birds, for sure!

    After you kissed your Raven, she said "WOW" in response" That truly was a wow moment! You totally gotta film more of your Raven! I loved hearing everything she said! She's had a real conversation happening with you a few times!
