I remember reading that one of the ravens at the Tower of London learned to mimic a Jack Russell. He used to creep up on people, bark loudly, and of course the people would turn round expecting to see a small dog. The raven would then toddle off, chuckling to himself. That image makes me so ridiculously happy!

Throwback to when I came home, heard my dad sneeze in the backyard, went inside, saw my dad taking a nap on the couch. Turns out a raven learned to mimick my dad's sneeze flawlessly. What an absolute trip. Also Fable is the most darling and well behaved raven I've ever seen! What a sweetheart.

I've been fascinated with ravens since I was a child and have always dreamed of having one. My grandmother, who spent the majority of her time in the many gardens they had, befriended a raven that would visit her everyday and it started mimicking her unique accent, it's favorite phrase was _"oh fiddlesticks!"_ which my grandmother would say when something fell from her hand or she had an accident while working. When my grandmother passed away the raven seemed to understand and thereafter would come and perch on her favorite bench and coo sadly. Decades later and I still think of that bird regularly.

It's just the fact that they can even mimic your tone of voice, something I don't see parrots do. It catches me off guard to this day because it's so shocking and it makes them so interesting. They just seem to have an intelligence at a whole different level to other birds and aren't just merely mimicking. They really are my favorite birds, the Corvids in general.

Sadly, my Christian coworker - who freely displays a cross at her desk - freaked out at my crow I put on my desk (not live obviously), stating it was bad luck and evil! I took it to my car, just to keep the peace, but I was upset. My little crow is no more bad or evil, than her cross.

That's quite contradictory to Christianity, especially if an animal is controlling it. Hope you're able to change her mind someday and I hope your crow keeps doing well.

I’m fascinated by raptors and corvids. I had the opportunity to go hawk walking with 4 harris hawks. These don’t talk but on on occasion I was waiting for a train at a station near Three Bridges and a Starling flew down and landed on my knee. The bird proceeded to recite the train destinations announcement from Three Bridges and then crapped on my knee. I thought I was going mad, but another passenger witnessed it with a suitably dropped jaw. The bird flew off and landed on the train I was due to get to Three Bridges. I think it had a season ticket, which is good as fare dodging is wrong.

I've seen rooks talking in weird tongues, just random babble as opposed to specific imitation of anything in particular. It kind of reminded me of a band warming up.

I've heard they use it to lure predators to open up the corpse of another animal, before driving off the predator with pack tactics so they can enjoy the meal themselves. Wonderful birds.

Birds are so intelligent for the amount of brain they have (in comparison to our species), they seem to use absolutely all of the faculties they have. That they are social and can include us in their “friend group”, it gives us an idea of the extent of their emotional needs, curiosity and need to play. Fable certainly loves your company. She has such a big beak yet chooses to be gentle. The trust between you too, … it’s amazing.

Birds pack more neurons into the same brain volume, compared to mammals. Which is apparently why corvids can be _so_ intelligent with such little brains (although their brains, relative to their body size, are not _that_ little).

I have had budgies at various stages of my life, but I still keep learning to understand some small nuances in their sounds. And sometimes I get so curious about what they are "talking" to each other, but will never know. Sometimes they sit next to each other and you can clearly tell that they are having a conversation in which they are taking turns. Not the excited type of chatting up on each other, but just a calm "dialogue" . It's so fascinating.

I had a friend who had an African Grey parrot. This bird learned to mimic the telephone and the doorbell.

Ravens and crows are very cool. Look up the documentary “Canuck and I” for a cool documentary about crows.

Fable is so beautiful and such a character. Takes me back to my childhood when my friend's family had 3 baby crows they rescued and later released. They were such characters and did talk some. Instead of their usual feed me call they each would yell hi hi hi. They do associate words and sounds with things. Like one of the crows would bark like their Doberman when someone came up the drive then say hi or hello when they got out of the car. Would freak strangers out sometimes. LOL

I've met an African Grey parrot who called all dogs "Coco," as that was his housemate dog. So that implies that the parrot had a dog _category_ in his mind, and a vocalization that referenced that category. The parrot's dog was small, but he would call large dogs "Coco" also. As soon as any dog approached him, he would say "Come here Coco! Good boy! SIT! SIT! Wanna bath ... BAD DOG, BAD" ... and so forth. Confused the hell out of the dogs, er, Cocos. :-) I have no doubt corvids can have words with category referents also.

I just love your Fable. She is incredible. I always wanted a pet Raven. I've had many pet birds over the years and I even rescued a sick Crow once and nursed it back to good health and released it, but I've never had a Raven. Enjoy her. ♥️

I gained a newfound respect for these amazingly intelligent creatures after watching a doc where within a single minute the raven had untied a knot to get a tool it needed to reach into a small space and retrieve a treat. Growing up in Northwestern British Columbia we used to see very large ravens all the time and hear them calling to each other.
