We love our Ravens. They are real characters.

This is delightful! The pool is perfect, being not too deep and having the stones placed in a position to help small animals get in and out. Notice that all birds test the depth carefully because if they get stuck in water they get waterlogged and can't fly until they dry out. It's a lovely video and the sounds the Raven makes are funny and fascinating!

Mostly we have the Raven couple on our property but about once a year a huge flock gathers for a while and they hang around together for some time on the ground and in trees and fly together making an enormous racket. I really don't know, but I suspect it is how the young ones find mates. By the way, we never harboured any ambition to get monetised when we started our channel.
