      Yes, Ravens are large birds. I remember this many years ago (1987) while lying reading (probably Douglas Adams) on the grass in Regents Park on a summers evening. A raven landed quite close to my feet and seemed to be taking a serious interest in me. I made an encouraging noise at it, (as you do), and it hopped closer. Well at this point I think, ‘blimey they’re a lot bigger close up’ (I know-Duh). I think I actually spoke to it then and I also noticed that other people who were enjoying the evening air were watching this exchange with amusement. So it hopped even closer and was now only a couple of feet away. Brief images of a particular Alfred Hitchcock film flashed across my mind as I thought, now what? As I sat up, it came even closer, so I stood up quickly and instead of being spooked as I expected, it actually moved right next to my foot and pecked at my shoe laces. Anyone who’s ever dropped something hard onto the top of their foot will know that it can hurt, as did this. I instinctively kicked out, so said raven flew very briefly into the air, landed next to me again, and this time managed to grab my lace starting a miniature tug-of-war with me. At this point these days every phone in the vicinity would be trained on me, alas there were no video cameras around to record the 21yo, 6ft tall, 13 stone soldier rapidly leaving the Regents Park heading for the nearest pub, having been beaten by a kg of Corvid. Possibly whilst thinking ‘…. A relaxing quiet read in the park… Nevermore! ‘. I still love them though.

Oh man I was so happy that I got another friend stopping by! He always leaves me gifts, ravens know us humans like shinny stuff. My little wooden box is filled with gifts from my raven.

    I can understand why people who have never seen your videos before might be concerned (sorta, insofar as there are a lot of people with animals on youtube who really shouldn't have the animals in question), but it takes looking at 1 or 2 or your videos tops to know that Fable is well-loved, well-looked-after, healthy, happy, and has copious mental stimulation and environmental enrichment. She is a beauty and it is a joy to see her with you. The love and respect between the two of you is absolutely palpable and it makes my animal rehab/rescuer's heart glad 🥰

    Shes beautiful!! wow. I just seen her singing & talking by herself, wow its amazing how they mimic sounds. My Uncle Tommy found a raven years ago, she was injured. He called her Blackie, and he made a home for her under his back porch. We live in the city, in Philly, but in his yard, you would never know it was the city, as he had a garden, rabbits, a little pond - it was gorgeous!
    But, He ended up nursing Blackie back to good health, and she never completely left him, she lived there for years!! She could come & go as she pleased, and she always came home at night time to go to sleep. Uncle Tommy thinks she was with her Mum & family, as she was pretty young & small, and she must've got left behind when she got hurt. He guesses thats why she stayed with him & never left. Its kinda sad, but he absolutely loved her & she had a great life with him! He ended up moving after she passed away. Now he lives way up in the mountains, on a nice amount of land and he has chickens, hens & roosters and a big beautiful pond with koi fish, turtles, and wild ducks & geese come around in the summer time!! He has a little dog & now a stray cat just came up out of nowhere, so now he has a cat, too. He is the animal whisperer! LOL

    I have never worried about enrichment for Fable or any of your other birds. I've watched from the early days and know how much time and thought goes into your care for them. It was nice to watch Fable exploring her yard and free flying. I think it shows her attachment to you that she would be with you when she could be flying or exploring. Her glossy feathers also show her health and care. It was lovely to see you again as well as Fable. Hope you and the family are well!

    I suffer with a CNS disorder, I’m in a lot of pain but one thing I’ve really enjoyed after being made redundant is learning. Working in digital engineering and watching all the videos you posted about Fable, I’ve loved reading about the many different subjects from problem solving and intelligence to learning about linguistic displacement. We see the love, care and dedication you show towards these wonderful birds and see how much they love you in return. It goes beyond that, you’re educating us, at the same time encouraging and inspiring us to be curious, expand our learning so we can all make a positive difference even if it’s something really simple.

    I love this bird so much! My partner and I both love her. For several months now, whenever one of us says the phrase “what’s that?” In our daily lives, reflexively, the other one repeats it in a Fable voice. And we start laughing. It just never gets old. :). We were so impressed when we first heard her say “what’s that?” So basically, she is always on our minds even when we haven’t seen her in a video recently. Lovely to see this video of what she gets up to outside! I have told so many people about you and Fable and put them onto your channel. Thank you so much for providing such wholesome and cognitively stimulating entertainment. It’s such a needed distraction from so much of the junk stimuli that bombards us from the internet. Fable is such a marvel!! And you are so wonderful to her. The bond between you two is truly magnificent!

It may be an ancient skill but many of us do not know how it all works. Birds are everywhere but we know nothing. Please don’t give up. It must be difficult but I look everyday to see if you post. I guess being a busy Mom and falconer you may wonder if it is worth it. Please know you r a great teacher but only to those who will listen. Take care & hi to Alfie

    It's obvious that the people who posted bad comments haven't seen any of your other videos. Fable and your other birds all look really healthy and balanced. And you always take a lot of time to explain your work, show how you take care of your birds, etc. I can understand that some people may not like keeping birds in captivity, but saying you're birds are not treated well shows that they don't know anything about your work (and haven't tried to educate themselves). That being say, it's so cool to finally be able to see Fable outside!!

    I live 17 minutes away from a pair of ravens that have inhabited a ridgeline for at least 15 years (eastern Washington state, US). Their vocalizations are so diverse & evocative. I shouldn't be surprised Fable has learned to imitate, "Hi" with that "come hither" inflection. Knowing how playful they are, Fable might even have some sense you used that tone with fun in mind.

What a great friendship she has with you! We should all be so lucky.

    Some folks just seem compelled to assume/push negativity about things they don't understand. You're a qualified expert in this field. Short of something atrociously obvious, if you say this is how it should be, I have no expertise to suggest otherwise. In my experience with other things, when people are genuine enthusiasts about something - like, really making it their thing - they learn all they can about it, and apply every bit of knowledge learned. I have the feeling that you carefully calculate every decision you make regarding those animals. Love what you do, and thank you for the content. Special thanks also to the lovely ladies, Fable and Kevin (Personal favorites😉).
