I can’t imagine how awesome it would be to have been chosen by a Raven and to be able to interact like that. Such an amazing bird! BOOP BOOP! Love your channel!!
Crows, Magpies, and their ilk - talk to them, get to know them, and if you are gentle and calm - they will become comfortable around you, and eventually you might just be able to experience such. Just be respectful: They are wild beings, they are meant to be free - but that doesn't stop you from getting to know them.
i think its rather her that has chosen the raven to be her companion, experiment, friend, what ever.
That is just lovely to see Fable in such a cuddly mood 💞
2:38 Oh my goodness, the gorgeous view you get to enjoy every day is wonderful. What a great place to raise a family. You are truly blessed and I'm so happy for you and your growing family.
Wow Fable was really chilled out! She was loving her head massage. It was also interesting to see all the wild crows, ravens and buzzards. Lovely to see you Amy
I've found a lot of birds like head rubs/massages. I suspect this is because unless they have a partner to go through their feathers for them, they are left only able to use their own feet to tend to their head feathers and this is usually quite a stretch for them.
Fable is just the best ❤ i volunteer at a owl sanctuary and have been making a friend out of the 1 of the 2 ravens they have. He is getting more relaxed with me every time i see him. The female is slowly getting better but she is taking alot longer. They are amazing bird and also very cheeky they both have a thing for undoing my laces just as im about to go.
Timing is everything!😂
Bring them some toys to play with 😉
As a young boy growing up in East Sussex, I was always fascinated by the ornithological world. Especially the birds of prey. I was lucky enough to befriend some people from the Sussex Falconry Centre and had the great experience of learning the very basics of falconry. My life took me on a different route and now as a middle aged guy am living in the North of Germany. I would like to express my thanks to your great channel here on RUclips. I watch all the vids and it makes me feel like that young guy again who once had a dream of becoming a falconer. I envy the life you lead but am very grateful for the fact you share it with us. Many regards from myself and that younger boy within.
I like how Fable was playing with the zipper until you offered it. Like "Well now that you said I can play with it, I don't want it"
I love how you and Fable talk so softly together, and the relaxed body language of both reflecting your friendship. Thank you Amy, for sharing with us the beautiful realm you live in. When I watch, my own Falconry memories drift through my mind like sweet specters of days gone by. I'm glad my tablet pointed me your way! BOOP! BOOP!❤🌹Love you!
So lovely to see you and Fable again! Missed you both.
She looks so peaceful. It is really amazing to see here.
Wow! When you zoomed out and showed the rolling hills in the area, I became fully green with envy.
Added to the fact that you have a front seat viewing of the wildlife from you bedroom window...you truly did hit the jackpot.
Thank you for always sharing your treasures with us c:
Grew up like that in Northern Sweden we had a bird lake and a large field right outside our house. There were lots of northern lapwing, crane, swans and canada goose and on ocassion raptors. One summer we had a pair of northern goshawk nest in our neighbours tree to the dismay of the lapwings.
The Cooper's hawks and crows where I live have a great relationship. They tolerate each other. When young Cooper's learn to hunt, it gets exciting. Not only do they chase, they like to test their skills by being chased.
When a red-tailed hawk shows up, crows go absolutely ape-shit.
Where I live the crows terrorize the coopers hawks especially during fledgling season
@@Nicole-ww4lg Same here. Crows are always chasing Coopers Hawks and screaming the entire time. We have multiple bird seed feeders and hummingbird feeders so the neighborhood Coopers Hawk always has his eye on the smaller birds and has even made a meal of a few of them. The crows go bananas.
@@Pahdopony They don't play so nice when it's nesting season. The crows and ravens get very aggressive towards any hawks which fly near their trees. They usually drive them off with a lot of flash and noise and no bloodshed. But sometimes things get ugly.
I absolutely love watching you two and the tender interactions between you. My heart breaks for all caged birds that are trapped in tiny cages around the world. What frustration they must feel.
Now, that is a room with a view! Amy, you & Fable are bewitching. Even a little cronk.....
She's quite partial to a soft cronk :)
Fable is addicted to TLC!!!
Such a lovely video, watching the birds of prey and corvids chill out together was great, and seein Raven relaxing like that was so heart warming~
Does Fable try to groom/preen you too, with you being part of the family?
Oh my BOOP, who is this cuddly bird? 🥰Fable is at her plushiest mode ever! ❤
Your gentle, loving touch in your interactions with Fable is so wonderful to watch. And you are exquisitely tuned in to her moods and needs at all times. Your "conversations" with Fable are such fun to watch and listen to. I think that this, for me, was the *most* relaxing video of the two of you that you have produced! *THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!*
🖤🖤🖤
I too am blessed with Ravens right outside the cabin in the mountains in northern California. We've been Family for over a decade. They're fiercely protective of me. I love this channel. Happy New Year to your beautiful Family & sweet Fable. Much love. 🥰
Oh, she's so very lovely and loving. I mean, obviously we can't ever expect a bird to act like a pet dog, but that is the cuddliest I have ever seen any bird act. Adorable, and charming, and enchanting, beak to tail tip! We love you Fable
My goodness, you certainly are the Fable whisperer! She does adore you. I feel privileged to witness this intimate view of a raven bonding with a human.
Lovely seeing Fable and you again. I could watch the two of you interact all day.
Your view is stunning. What a beautiful place to live. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Oh my goodness this was so warm and lovely
It feels to peaceful sitting with you and Fable. Thank you for this Space.
I needed a chilled out video to help unwind after the day I've had and this was perfect.
I was just thinking of how I missed Fable! 💗
When you asked if she wanted more the first time, I definitely heard "Want more."
Thank you for showing such great animal husbandry, and educating us, I've learned so much from you.
Boop boop! *Mwah*
Thank you for sharing your awesome relationship with Fable!
Boop Boop ! So good to see you 2 again. Good camera work from your window & editing to point out the various birds. Very beautiful area around your home & fortunate to see the wildlife activities. Had been missing Fable so glad to see her in such a relaxing state. ATB from the southern U.S. Boop Boop !
What an amazing privilege to have that bonding with Fable. She is beautiful...Boop Boop! As with any grouping of animals/birds, if a person takes the time to watch and observe, there is so much to learn. Thank you for giving that opportunity with the wild covids. ❤️🥰
watching the love Fable has for you is a wonderful thing, the quiet time you have together is calming therapy, thanks for sharing....
It's going on four months that I've been feeding this married pair of wild Ravens. This couple is really really cautious of people. I think they're leery of people putting food out for him and then shooting them when they go down to get it. So they ain't really warmed up to me very much. But yesterday they let me get about within ten feet of them.
When she ruffles her feathers on her head up, reminds me of when my cats want scritches & they do that little head dip & roll around. She's so sweet, those low growls, goodness ^.^ Boop boop!
Hi. What is Fables' reaction when she sees other Ravens?
Indifference usually. Sometimes curious. Sometimes annoyed 🤣
@@wingsandwildlands Thanks for the info. Love your channel by the way!
Fable's looking in superb condition ❤ The local corvids always let you know when something is going on ! Lovely video, thanks.
So how long before the native ravens start saying 'boop boop'?
I'm wondering that myself :')
😂😂
Fable is amazing. I love animals so much, they really allow you to share affectionate moments
I would love to know what goes through their minds when they are interacting with you
It's fascinating to see how affectionate birds can be...especially when you consider the relationship to dinos...but also reptiles like to be groomed. 🙂
The "windows" in the wings of your buzzards when flying reminded me of the red shouldered hawks so common in my area of Ohio in the U.S.
I'm in Atlanta, GA and we have a breeding pair of red-shouldered hawks that have a nest and young ones every year in a tree in my front yard. This year, before spring comes and it starts to get warm, I'm going to put a little camera up there so I can watch the adults tend the next, lay eggs, witness the babies grow up, and then leave the nest. I'm quite excited and I might stream it so others can enjoy!
They are quite closely related.
Unless a bird is of the gliding type, most birds don't tend to fly unless necessary. Flying is very energy intensive unless gliding, standing around or walking much less so.
I love animals of all kinds and l never tire of seeing various wildlife videos on utube.
This is the very first time I’ve had the honor of viewing this channel and I decided to subscribe after just a few minutes!
God bless this wonderful woman for sharing this great stuff!
I adore you and your love for these magnificent birds. Your knowledge and insights have helped to shape our approach to rearing our injured and abandoned crow. Thank you.
Hi 👋
It’s always a pleasure seeing you and Fable enjoying each other’s company. Thanks for all the great videos Amy.
So neat. Love the footage in your yard. ♥️ It’s like watching a caper - & finding out why they’re there & what they’re up to - as part of the fun (usually a group feeding of some kind- but always interesting to find out why they were there). Who needs television when you can look at that!
We got to witness a similar situation, just last week. A new deer carcass in the field was being observed by 7 eagles, at least 15 ravens, and a few red tailed hawks. The exchanges between them all were very interesting. My son and I had a great time watching through our binoculars and making up subtext and voices to fit the various attitudes of the birds we watched. As you say- the ravens were dishing it out to the eagles now and then. In turn the eagles took a lot of bullying. Amazing flying displays at times. The ravens and their dogfighting arial acrobatics were something to witness.
How fortunate we are to see these amazing birds doing what they do best so close to our homes. Being next door to calving fields this time of year- always brings a lot of interesting animals to the neighborhood. 🙌🏼♥️
Thank you for inspiring us to pay closer attention to what’s happening outside our very windows. We have done concluded a bird science unit recently, chosen by my son & inspired by your enthusiasm for learning & teaching about birds! ♥️
We went to the Tower of London a few weeks ago and what I couldn’t get over was how BIG the ravens were! I noticed their wings on one side had been clipped to prevent them from flying away - does Fable have her wings clipped?
In an older video I think she mentioned she lets fable go fly around during the day sometimes. So probably not, fable just knows where home is.
Fable is not clipped and never has been.
The tower ravens live in a very different environment to fable with a lot more human dangers like vehicles which could be of real iissue to them if they ventured too far. I can understand why they have a clipped wing feathers. If you're wondering about clipping, it doesnt hurt them as it the feather that is cut not the skin of the wing. And they moult every year, so there's regular chance for feathers to regrow again. Just like our hair. Hope that helps. 😊
@@wingsandwildlands The Ravenmaster had been gradually reducing the amount of clipping. At one point they were flying freely. Unfortunately one of the birds went missing, so I don't know if he's reverted to clipping or not.
Oh it’s so nice to see Fable again ! Talk about a cuddle bug . It’s great that you get such a good view of the neighbourhood birds and their antics .
Beats tv any day ❤️💐xxx
🖤🖤🖤 Thank you, Amy, for sharing such touching moments with us! *BOOP BOOP!* 🖤🖤🖤
that's so relaxing, love that bird.
Fab- U- lous! ( Fable + You + Us) . 🖤
Have you ever considered teaching Fable to say, "Can you fly?", which is the best response to the question asked of Fable by unfamiliar humans, "Can you talk?" Sorry, I'm sure that is tiresome to answer again and again and ...
I am in love with Fable 💕🐦🥰💗 Oh my goodness she is so beautiful 🤗💕😍😘
What do her feathers feel like when you pet her? I imagine it would be silky smooth and soft 🥰🐦💞
So much love here in this video & love the gentle, kind and patient quality in this super special relationship!
Buzzards? Hawks or falcons but definitely not buzzards. Or am I just mishearing what she is calling those birds of prey?
I could watch the birds outside for hours. Sadly I live in a central area with lots of people. So I enjoy videos like this even more.
Your bond with Fable is just so precious and heart warming to watch. Thank you so much for all of your videos!!
I first started my love affair with corvids when I lived on the edge of a town in southern Norway around 12 or so years ago. On walks with my dogs I noticed some hooded crows had caught on to that the dogs got treats. Being immensely curious by nature myself, I started to nonchalantly “forgetting” treats where they (hooded crows) could easily get to them, usually on top of large branches. Rapidly we became friends and they would follow me home. Fast forward and they would come and knock on the windows when they where hungry (not to mention an array of other corvids and small birds). Since then, wherever I’ve lived, I have gotten to know the local murder and in particular the local pair(s) in summer. Done correctly it’s immensely fun and rewarding and I can only imagine your work is many times more that, Amy. Thanks for taking the time and bringing the magic and majesty of Corvids to the world. ❤
If Miss Fable isn't careful. She just may win, "The Sweetest Raven in the whole wide world" Award!!! Just saying! Not sure it gets much sweeter than that!?
🥰
From what I have seen, especially growing up in rural Yorkshire, corvids (especially ravens) are much more intelligent than most birds of prey, so that hanging around near kill sites is massively to thier advantage. I've seen kestrels in particular getting MASSIVELY cheesed off with ravens and rooks, as the latter in particular are so good at behaving co-operatively. This affords the observer some truly amusing moments. Such a pity we didn't have smartphone cameras in those days. Anyone can see clearly how happy Fable is, especially in the end section of this lovely video.. And in SUCH good condition too! Nice one. 🌟👍
I know I can say from experience it is an amazing experience I currently have 3 crows and they are the best it’s an amazing relationship
Oh my goodness he's totally blissed out , boop boop fable. Such a beautiful connection you have ❤
She.
Would Fable be accepted by the other ravens? Would Fable want to meet with them? Curious.
Makes me happy to see you two so happy!🤗
Hearing Fable saying "Hi" is so surreal! It really shows that what you've said in the "How ravens talk"-video is true. You hear an absolute clean voice without any typical human characteristics of airflow or vocal cord distortion. It's crazy. You can - obviously - generate similar sound with a computer, but while humans can try to approach this perfection, it will stay just a try.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to befriend, and pet a raven. How amazing it would be to kiss its soft head. I would fall so in love with it. Lucky you!!
If only two crows are sitting on a fence, is that attempted murder? Sorry, that's an old, corny joke that you have probably heard a thousand times. I love your videos. You are absolutely living the life of dreams and Fable is just adorable! Boop Boop!
I'm always amazed just how large she is. You holding her gives scale from my perspective. The relationship you have is remarkable. Lovely scenery. 🦅🕊🦇
Thank you for continuing these uploads! They add so much quality to my life.
I love Ravens. There is one that hops up the hill road in front of my house to get some pecans from the trees. My Labrador let's me know he is out there as if the bird is scary to him. I think because he doesn't see as many Ravens as he does the other types of birds at my feeders.
I am amazed by your dog the pointer. So sweet. The Ravens have no Fear apparently either. My Labrador can't run off the Raven here .
Fable is definitely in love with you.💖 Thanks for sharing.
thank you for sharing this:) really needed this today can't express my gratitude enough ❤
Fable reminds me vividly of an old pet shop I used to visit when I was a teenager, they had a huge white house cockatoo that had free reign of the entire shop. if it decided that it liked you, it would fly to your shoulder, and stick its head in your face with its head feathers erect, begging for head scritches. On my second visit, it decided that I would be one of the honoured ones, and flew right to my head and got its headfeathers stuck in my glasses. Well, I stood there for two hours with this thing on my person, just giving this bird the attention it demanded.In the end it wouldnt leave me alone :P and on every subsequent visit it took the owner of the shop to pick the bird up and hold it while I made my escape. :P
She’s so lovey dovey, so sweet:) Absolutely gorgeous, too! I could watch her all day 💜
That's the chillest I've ever seen crows around a buzzard
The ones in my area are almost always having dog fights
Wow, she acts just like my cat when he wants to cuddle. Beautiful!
I got my 'pet' magpie to whistle at me today. Wish I'd got in on camera! He says "hi"! 😀
I'm reminded of Sam Spade's parting line, "the stuff dreams are made of" :)
I learned today that we call them hawks here in the states and we call vultures buzzards.
I put a bird feeder out in the back garden... And one of the visitors is a rook.. Great video keep up the great informative videos
The other ravens are waiting for Fable to come out to play. 🙂
I really like the calmness and peace of this video! Thank you very much for sharing!🦅🪶🤗
Deserving love and attention for a beautiful creature.
Totally calm . Love watching you two interact
During this pandemic I've learned a little bit about birds. Ravens are my favorite Bird. So smart and grateful! Nice video! 🖤
Watching Fable makes me feel better about life.
"birds are flying around all of the time" :D - once I went out to shoot (I mean, taking photographs) of ospreys from a camo tent near Szatymaz, Hungary. We knew the place as favourite "digesting place" of the magnificent birds. We settled right before sunrise, and an osprey immediately came. Sat on his favourite tree, and dozed for a while. Then left for about five minutes to come back with a huge carp. Ate it carefully, leaving a lot to the crows and other scavengers, then started to digest. Four hours later the landlord came to check what we are doing there-the osprey woke up, flew away and we could reach a bit again. In the four hours he only changed his position twice, mainly turning around to warm up his other side (I guess-it was a cool april morning). We were half frozen, went numb and bored. But had a 32MB card full of "sleeping osprey" images :D
Sounds awesome! Osprey are magnificent! I've only seen 2 in the 5 years I've lived here- I have a third floor balcony that overlooks a river, which I chose bc of the view. I see lots of bald eagles and tuvus, red tailed and Cooper's hawks, but only those 2 osprey. Both times they were flying directly toward me, enormous and beautiful!
Wonderful to see you and Fable again Amy. I think that's the most affectionate I've seen her. She's a BOOP BOOP.
Lovely seeing Fable and the other birds too. What a view from your window 🙂❤️
Quite therapeutic and meditative moments. She's chill, I'm chill, we're all chilled out.
I am so happy to see you guys again. Fable is a beautiful bird. Thank you for this update!
Important to note the difference between Ravens and Crows. Nice footage showing just that.
Yes quite a difference between the two and yet people regularly get mixed up. I am planning a corvid ID video at some point.
Omg I'm in love wow that's awesome 😍 got a suggestion what if you played her cat sounds so when Fable says boop boop she purrs like cat 😺 what do you think would love to hear will be music to my ears
Or purrs like a baby kitten 😸
I see lots of crows around my house and I always look to see what they are up too looks like fable made some friends
So wonder full thank you.
Aw, so nice. Does that beak feel super warm in your fingers?
She is really tame, loves you.
It’s so soothing to watch Fable be petted. ❤
Fable is absolutely stunning and beautiful. I’ve loved Ravens from my obsession of the Vikings and ever since I read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings many years ago. I’m currently reading the rest of Tolkien’s works from the first age. Some of my favourite characters were the intelligent ravens of Ravenhill near Erebor, could live to a great age and some could even speak Westron and were friendly with the Dwarves. Game of Thrones reignited my love for them. Thank you so much for the incredible work you do and the videos you post. You’re an incredible teacher.
Tolkien is my favourite. A world I'm always happy to be whisked away to!
So nice, she’s acting like a cat with wings. I love watching your relationship.
That’s a very happy bird 🥰. He loves you 🥰
Hi, I'm from Brazil and I loved your channel. I never thought crows could be so affectionate. I'm in love with Fable. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Don't let Fable out. She would unite them all and form a deadly Corvidwaffe Airwing. Then there would be worldwide weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Oh, it’s too late now. Fable can direct the action from where she is. It’s already afoot.
@@bethmoore7722 Alas, our only hope now is to stop Putin before Fable can make him her puppet.
"...worldwide weeping and gnashing of teeth."
BOOP BOOP. _hai_
The amount of times I’ve seen Buzzards flying while being hassled by corvids and the one time a Buzzard was perched very calmly on a building in Canterbury city centre while Crows dive bombed it… amazing. I love Corvids (especially Australian Magpies… such totally playful clowns!) but I absolutely love to spot Buzzards. My favourite spot was 4 of them standing in a field in Kingston, Kent totally bedraggled from the rain waiting for worms to appear.
Hate to be a buzzkill but Aussie magpies aren’t corvids…..crazy right??I know!!! Scientifically, Aussie magpies are related to butcher birds, not corvids. Behaviourally however, and I say this as someone who has had several pet magpies, they really behave like corvids and I agree…..cool birds.
@@catzkeet4860 Thank you obviously I had no idea! I’ll look up butcher birds right now! Edit: Looked them up and yes you’re right of course. Australian magpies are still my most favourite clown birds and we need more clown birds here in the U.K. (Rooks are probably the clowniest but nowhere on a par with Aussie mags xx)
