They’re called The Ravens because Baltimore was the home of Edgar Allen Poe…

@@7rays Poe’s Raven could totally talk “nevermore”

@@Du-Masses But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered-not a feather then he fluttered- Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before- On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.” Then the bird said “Nevermore.”

I love Fable! She’s so big and smart!

They used to be my team back when they were dogs... Hahaha Clevelander here. 😁

Oh yes, you are spot on. She realy stole my heart. Glad to know her charm has that effect on more people ;)

Only my second video and I'm in Texas USA but this is Fable is so cute part of the family now!

Absolutely amazing how this dog and this crow get along so well!

Really kept waiting for Fable to give the dog's nose a good twist. Was grateful that didn't happen, though honestly surprised 😆

If I ever get a bird of a species that can talk I'm going to teach it to say: Birds can't talk.

@@puppetsock Brilliant. Do it!

@@puppetsock YES! That would be adorable. There was a raven I met many years ago at a wildlife rehab center who had been raised in captivity so it couldn't be released to the wild. They had him in a large aviary and he seemed very happy. I was so surprised when I was visiting one day and he seemed to remember me, and he said, "Hello!" He repeated that several times. Then I started to walk away and he cawed, "Come BACK!" ❤

I encourage you to do so! I've had a fascination with corvids for years and began feeding unsalted peanuts to a small local crow colony this summer. It's been really great, and since they live about half an hour away on foot, it's really helped me get out more

They can also be wicked and evil. Don’t let the domesticated Fable fool you

@@Astronurd What are you talking about?! They are not evil no animal is evil. Humans can be evil but not animals. Ravens are great and lovely.

@@Astronurd yes they love to eat Eagles Eggs 😝

me tooooooo!

Roadrunners are fun, too. Easy to tame and comedians!

Ditto! Only from Chicao IL, lol 💚🤗

Parable!

That was a delightful 9 minutes. I have three(ish) small families of crows that follow me around the neighborhood when I’m walking my dog, a large white “arctic shepherd”. They trust me and my dog enough to land within 3-4 feet, waiting for little kibble treats. My dog pays them no mind, but I love the way your pointer is so curious.

I'm in FL too. Wish we had ravens here. I had no idea how much bigger they are than crows.

"when she was but a wee Parable": *PERFECT!!!* 🖤🖤🖤

After all, a pointer is a bird dog.

@@maryellenthompson8261 my pointer isn't going to act like that around any bird

Very true! Famous Fable!!

Have to say I was a bit worried at the start.

@@fasthracing A well-trained dog is truly a wonderful thing! I was slightly anxious at first too but then I just watched in fascination Lion and the Lamb play in the water trays.

Must've been so confused when the bird starts talking and sounds exactly like her!

I like how Fable can completely ignore the dog. No intimidation, no fight or flight. Just co-inhabitants.

Raven or not she’s really social! Love when she trying to prune you.

@@MyTv- I hope you’ve seen all of her vids with Fable. Fable loves her.

Friend ??! i hate that dog thinking it can disrespect other creature, smoldering them, and that is exactly how dog owner end up to be, obnoxious and oblivious to their bad manners. Birds know manners and respect. Dog are just dogs.

Moving to a country with ravens made me notice that too! Some of them obviously fly for fun, it's so cute seeing them play in the air! Also makes me think of how much of human life is still so animal-like! Among birds, ravens and parrots feel way too conscious, just like octopi for mollusks! It honestly baffles me that my philosophy teacher still insists animals have no minds lol

If you adopt someone or some thing that means you must contribute. I'm just a fan and a watcher. I don't contribute. 😃

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv that's okay, many of us cannot contribute but did you know that just watching, liking, subscribing and commenting DOES contribute to the channel here on you tube? Likewise, watching a channel that is questionable and giving a thumbs down and commenting your feelings about it also contributes to that channel which is why I stopped watching certain channels about macaque monkeys in Asia. I learned that those videographers do not have the animal's best interst at heart, so I avoid them,, or report them if I end up viewing by mistake - but that's a whole other story! Negative or positive, just watching and commenting contributes! So, see? You HAVE indeed contributed!

@@mamaboocee Yes, I knew all of that. I meant by money. But, I stopped watching from the last video when she made the statement of millions and millions of years. I don't knowingly watch or support atheist channels. So sad that so many people choose to believe man but deny the Christian Holy Bible and Genesis chapter 1. "all of man's wisdom is but foolishness to God." 😥

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv never mind. To each his own.

She's a wonderful dog and knows the difference between hunting and our animal family. She's a very loving companion 💕

Fable is female (so she, not he). She truly is an amazing bird, eh?

Looks like that bird dog's prey drive is just on the verge of kicking in.

the boop chorus and hellos were awesome too!😄

I'm very glad you are doing your research before taking on the HUGE responsibility of caring for a bird. They are definitely NOT like cats and dogs, which have been domesticated for thousands of generations. But if we are lucky enough to form a bond with what is essentially a wild animal, to develop a loving relationship, to perhaps even have the opportunity to speak to each other, is a blessing from Nature that few will ever enjoy. Kinda makes all that mess and those chores and putting up with the screaming and the tantrums seem to be not so great price to pay.

At least you found it now! She's a special dog for sure.

@@FalconryAndMe She woke up my speckled beast by making me laugh so loud. Good girls.
