We have a baby walking on the ground that became exhausted by nighttime so we put him in a crate, gave him cat food, and a hotel for the night. This morning I let him back out with the parents to train all day. I hope he flies today as it's not safe on the ground here at night. He's got all his feathers.

I could not believe my eyes when Fable put a piece of food on that plastic thingy, and watched how it slowly descended!! She learned it does this and it amuses her!! SO intelligent!! I am in love with her!! I feel like I would be kissing her all day long!!

Oh wow her singing is adorable 💜

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for continuing to post videos! My jaw actually dropped when she started to sing/hum. It is so amazing to hear "your" voice come from her. The humming and singing. Ohhh how precious!

The craziest part to me is that they have such a unique voice tones . So beautiful !!. I hope you had a great July 4 celebration yesterday ??...

This is absolutely intriguing to me! The level of intelligence, and the vocalizations, captured here on camera, is wonderful. The cursing was the cherry on top! I loved it! Because, she declared it at a moment that seemed, to her, to be appropriate for it's use. She wasn't just repeating it in mimicry. She comprehended it's intended use, and used it, AS language! I'm reminded of that African Gray Parrot, with the extensive vocabulary, at the U of A. It vocalized it's thoughts with clear intent, as well. This is just further evidence that intelligence is not dependent upon brain size, but rather some kind of complex brain geometry, perhaps. Who knows? Personally, I have never believed that human beings were the only sentient animals on this good Earth. We really need to change our perceptions. Loved the video! CHEERS! 🍻✌

She has a friend. She's bonded with Amy and ravens don't have 'friends', they're otherwise solitary creatures. Fable receives daily socialization and enrichment from Amy, she is also a very rambunctious animal that gets bored easily. Don't worry, she's not suffering

Fable is amazing! Thank you for sharing!!

I love Fable. So adorable!

For 12 years I drove a dump truck. At the rock quarry there was a flock of ravens. While waiting for the loader to arrive, I would throw out the edges of my sandwiches (bread) NOW.....All the trucks in our fleet had the same paint job (White cabs &blue beds) Yet, somehow they knew to land on the ground on the driver's side of my truck. They ignored the other drivers. One day a particularly brave raven landed on my mirror mount. After I got over the shock, I took a peanut butter and cheese cracker between my fingers and offered it. He took it and flew away to enjoy his snack away from the others. Every time he/she did that I would give him/her the peanut butter and cheese cracker and say, "Hey buddy, how's it going." I'm retired now. But I hope that he will land on someone else's mirror mount and say, "Hey buddy, how's it going."

I love how she has so much emotion not only in her voice, but also the way the feathers move when she speaks.

She gives the best with nuances of brief words: the low pitch saying "hi" is simply beautiful!

It's funny how Fable not only says what she hears, she does it pretty much at the same pitch..

When she sings off camera I can't tell it's not a human!! I bet the Harris hawks appreciate her comments! I hope you, your son and your husband are doing well! And I'm so glad to see you have so many subscribers!! I've been here from the beginning, so nice to see.

I've had a wild raven friend for about 5 years now, named him "Igor". I feed him every day, and one day I noticed an old 1990s digital watch sitting on the steps outside my bedroom. Since then, I've found so many other interesting things, mostly machine parts, small tools, aven a working thermometer! I keep all his gifts in a box, except for the ones I use. He's brought me a lot of metal washers because he's seen me use them when repairing sheds and fences. So smart! My favorite is the nice pair of titanium snips he took from a "neighbor". They were sticky, but a quality tool. They were used to trim marijuana buds by a cannabis grower (we have several, it's legal here). I cleaned them and use them a lot. They retail for $18, so it's a nice gift! When I bring his food outside, he hovers over me a few feet away to see what's in the bowl. Boiled chicken skin is his favorite, he does his happy squawk and aerial acrobatics to show how happy he is. I hope some day he will take food from my hand, but he's wild so I don't expect anything. He has a mate, I named her Elsa. They have raised several broods, and their offspring hang around in the Spring. I've read that they help raise the new siblings, and that seems likely. They are so beautiful and intelligent, and I feel blessed to be a small part of their world.

The singing is incredible. Like someone just singing while going about their work. Love Fable💞

Loved the singing omg 😍 could listen all day.

ravens must have absolutely magical memories!

1. Fable having your accent, is adorable. 2. The cute little *”boop boop”* killed me. 3. Fable taught me the cry of a harris hawk sounds like Peter Griffin.🤣

Interesting how she moves her wings and tail as she makes the different sounds. The movements seem unique and repeated for each of the different sounds. Do you know if this is part of the mechanics of the vocalization, or is she doing it as part of expressing the sound (i.e. communication)?

I've been wondering too! My initial impression was that it's more the latter, it seems those physical expressions just come with those specific sounds for her, like she memorized them this way from the situations in which she learned/used the sounds. Similar to how we humans use gestures for specific contexts maybe?

It’s been too long since I checked in on you and Fable. You’ve both made my day! Boop boop. Mwah!

Brings back memories. My dad was a DVM avian epidemiologist. He had a pet raven who was endlessly delightful.

When she sings, her body language/mood match. Just like we do, on our own, singing to ourselves. For me, that shows that she doesn't just learn sounds, she learns the context as well. Maybe that's why she sings when alone, she's heard you sing, but you've not sung directly to her. It's not bonding or communication like Hellos, Boop Boops, or kisses. Fascinating, thankyou, and thankyou Fable.

I believe Fable misses you when saying Hi Fable, mwah, and boop boop. These are affectionate terms between you two.

This is my first time watching and it was delightful to hear this raven, as I love these birds so! Thank you!

Boop boop is by far my very favorite thing she says in this

I was loving her singing, and her sudden WTF was such a surprise I burst out laughing!

9:36 I love how she mimics a Harris's Hawk's call, then immediately after makes a noise that sounds like she's mocking the call.

Sounds so human when she sings and talks! What a sweetie!

This lady is fascinating! I knew this family of birds were clever but Fable absolutely shines!

I will never look at a raven in the same way, she’s hilarious 😂

So cute, I love this. I love hearing how they interpret and mimic what is around them. I might have also taught my parrot to 'boop boop' like Fable because I found it so adorable lol
