Australian Raven

Had to chase this one about just to snap these photos! One day ... I used to have a special relationship with this family when there was a vegetable garden, but now they seem to have forgotten me!
Great shots even though he didn't pose for you. I put peanuts out for the jay birds in the morning and sometimes the crows/ravens will come down & take the peanuts before the jays have a chance. I'm hoping one of these days I'll get a shot of that.
Thanks Sharon ... a bit of a challenge for me :) They are here almost every day but like to stay high above the others! Be sure to let me know when you have a photograph of yours!!
Oh one time I read about how to spot a raven from a crow. It was very interesting but I have forgotten whose blog it was. I love their name "Raven" and of course I get goosebumps when I read Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven"
OOOHHHH I love Edgar Allan Poe's ANYTHING Ces };-} The differences between Ravens and Crows is different depending on where you live. We don't get Crows in my area, nearly all in Australia are Ravens!
Crows are nasty anyway. You are not missing anything. A flock of them attack the pedestrians at the City Hall. A woman had to be taken to the hospital. I swould have loved to have been the triage nurse.
"What happened?"
"I was attacked by crows!"
The ravens are more poised and their feathers are well groomed.
Oh dear Ces! Here is a LINK about the difference between the two
Thanks!
One day I will post my special story about my beautiful Ravens Ces :)
should i be insulted the many times i am called ravenous?
Yes KJ :O
:)
anon, i have to tell you: i look just like cookie. i probably sound like cookie. and i definitely squawk like cookie.
I love Ravens too! Yes, they always hang out very high - dont get any in the backyard but do get the Magpies....
I think I have a thing for the Corvines, I wonder if its sort of a 'poor girls Raptor' thing?
These are great clear shots Anon, even with all the branches youve still got Raven good and clear.
But are you Australian KJ? HAHAHHAHHAAAA
Ravens and Magpies are very clever! That's probably why you have a 'thing' for them, Lavender :) The Ravens do show on the ground when we have a barbecue, but the weather has been awful lately ...
Ewwe...those eyes...
We only have Crows around here - They're not as pretty.
Joy Eliz, would you believe me if I told you two I knew really well had human eyes? One had brown eyes, and one had blue };-}
Ahhh, beautiful Raven, how I love thee. Sitting so regal up in that tree. When Anon passes, please do pee.
A Raven is my daemon. That is post I keep forgetting to do.
A poet certainly isn't your daemon Perriette!
You are only saying that because he peed on you now you are pissed (on)! heheheheheeee
Perriette, have you checked what's dripping from your teacup lately?
Pee and Ravens? Most distrubing.
Of course Madame XOX, anything you ask for ... my pleasure
};-}
Yes, I would... They're shape-shifters... Bwahahahaha!
Joy Eliz, it isn't FUNNY! It's TRUE!!!!! These two must carry the souls of dead ... can't be friends must be ancestors!
Which ancestors though? And ask them to remove curse!
Actually Joy Eliz, it IS THOSE ancestors! Only one has blue eyes ;)
