If we put it out late, we see the raven flying about, seemingly waiting for brunch! Anyway, we love our raven; maybe someday we will be gifted. I have a pair of ravens that are sleeping in my barn. I believe it is a convenient and close for them to steal the duck eggs from the pond area and feed on the horse manure.
Not sure whether I want them there or not. Every now and again I will lose a duck too, not sure whether the ravens are the killers or the resident eagle…………. Any suggestions. I found a injured young raven in July of I had given him ice and some cracker pieces. He was breathing hard and panting. I debated for several hours.. My husband was tired of it.
Grabbed a box and put him in it. I raise peacocks about 44 of them. Blues, whites, pied, green. Some are free range. I have learned the whites do not well free because the other birds beat them up and pick on them. So i bring the raven home, put him in a standard peacock coop.. I opened the door to his pen about 5 months later when I saw him fly inside the pen. He stayed around as a free bird.
He became more confident and pushed his way through the pecking order.. One day 2. I had a wounded expensive white female pied peahen in a coop. She had a heat lamp and i gave her extra attention and made sure she ate every day..
I have a bunch of animals, 3 kids and own a shop so I am usually in a hurry. My son called me one day and told me she had died. I asked how and he said he thought the cats did it. I thought very strange and when i came home looked at hours of footage on the security cameras. Peacocks are pretty large birds.. The other day when I went to feed, i found my favorite male pied peacock Bruce slaughtered and licked clean.
I am blown away.. Peacocks are easy, beautiful, mild tempered creatures. Has anyone ever heard of a raven killing a bird as large as a peacock? Hi Leah, wow, such a sad story. You just never know. We recommend that if you find wounded wildlife, do not attempt to transport it, but to call wildlife officials, which can be connected through your local police.
The sad problem is by doing that your dooming most wild animals to a death sentence. That includes baby Deer, Raccoons or most any other kind of wild animal. They are often trained, and LOVE caring for wild things to release back into the wild. They try hard to save everything given to them. Wild life officials seem to me not to have the time to give to most injured wild things and like I said, if you call them….
Most times the animals are killed. That includes Raccoons and Possums. Come to Interior Alaska. We have ravens and finches year round and jays in May-July all through the towns. They are everywhere. Well written article. From experience, I believe 3 and 4 feed another trait I see ravens do a lot, and that is curiosity worse than a cat. I am fascinated with this bird but would love for someone to tell me is it good luck or bad luck God knows I dont need anymore bad…..
I always thought ravens never existed but a friend showed me a picture i just thought …. If you have problems with pest birds such as ravens go see island falconry online its such a good experience!
I have had what had what I thought were crows in my yard, making lots of noise. READ other poems of his too in my opinion even though hes my favorite author,he was a little crazy when he was alive.
Dec 16, Poe Fan Jan 13, I really love ravens! Apr 20, Kaitlyn Jan 27, I heard that some ravens "heal" other things like i saw a movie with that in it. Jan 28, Annika Jan 25, I like how Wonderopolis tells the reader what types of food a raven eats and tells the reader that ravens are part of the omnivore family.
Jan 25, Kaleigh Jan 19, I think ravens are cool because they manipulate other animals into doing their work for them. Jan 21, Hi, Kaleigh! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about raven!

Wherever there is a suitable platform to build a nest, that is a potential raven nesting area.
Ravens build a large, bulky nest of stout sticks and line the center with bark, hair, fur, grasses or even plastic bags. The birds lay turquoise colored eggs that are blotched with brown. Mostly, the female incubates the eggs, while the male feeds her at the nest site. The eggs hatch in days, and the young leave the nest fledge at days old. Once while I was recording raven calls for a wildlife documentary "The Living Edens Series" , I watched an adult raven try to dislodge my microphone from its spot high up in a pinyon tree.
The raven flew over to the top of the tree and started to croak and pound its bill on the dead limbs in the tree. When this didn't work, the adult hopped onto another limb, broke off a twig and dropped it like a bomb onto the microphone. Perhaps Edgar Allan Poe may have had the best definition for these birds, "Though the birds have a wide variety of sounds and calls they may not be willing to divulge their secrets to us.
