Welcome to Week 6 of my Corvid-2020 Weekly Challenge. Corvids are birds belonging to the Corvidae family, encompassing ravens, crows, magpies, jays and nutcrackers. So peruse your corvid photo, poetry, music and story archives and join the challenge.
You can participate in the Corvid-2020 Weekly Challenge by creating a pingback to this post (my pingback approval settings are set up for manual approval, so it may take a little while for your pingback to appear) and/or by leaving a hyperlink to your submission in the comments. Tag your post Corvid-2020 or C20WC. I really do hope you will join in.
What else can I say? The Common Raven (Corvus corax) of the Northern Hemisphere is bigger than the Australian raven (Corvus coronoides). What they have in common though is that they are both very mischievous. Here’s Fable (Corvus corax). She looks like trouble if you ask me. Check her out. Please note that this is not my video.
Mwa, mwa.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.

I have a better image , but do you think I can find it anywhere! How do images vanish – so annoying but this was the best I could do: https://carylbeach.org/2020/04/28/corvid-2020-weekly-challenge-6/

Your video with Fabel is absolutely wonderful.She is stunning. Would love to see more. You said that you hand reared her, can she ever live in the wild now?
Thank you for sharing.

I love Fable too. But she’s not mine and it is not my video. Just one I enjoyed that I thought fans of corvids might like too. There are more of Fable on YouTube if you are interested. I’ll update my post to clarify.

Fable is adorable–what a ham she is! That gal was quite brave with the beak so close to her face, but it seems they have such a wonderful relationship that I am the only one to worry. I enjoyed this, Tracy.

The beak looked quite intimidating to me too, Lois.

She certainly is. She must be a challenge to look after. 🙂

What a fascinating video! It was so much fun learning about corvid behavior. I had no idea they could talk! In one of the shots, Fable’s back feathers have a very pretty purple sheen to them.

She looked in such good condition to me, Liz. We’ve watched a couple of her videos now. Her aviary was immaculate.

Hello Fab Four family, welcome to my Aussie blog. I am so pleased you like the video produced by one of your UK compatriots. We all need a bit of wonder at the moment and Fable certainly delivers that. 🙂

Love this video of Fable and her keeper – couldn’t find her keeper’s name, but I love the way she approaches working with Fable. Ravens are brilliant birds.

“Wow!” !! (Imitating Fable here 😉 ) What a lovely, beautiful raven! And so clever! Honestly, that’s why I love ravens and all members of the corvid family, they’re so very, very clever. I knew they could speak, but never actually heard it. I managed to take a few pics of “my” crows last week and am starting to share with you and the others here from tomorrow on. 😉

Fable has a T-shirt for fans! We don’t buy much but we have been eying it off. 🙂 Also, our new favourite saying is boop, boop.
Yay, for your successful crow hunt.
