I've had four Ravens show up in my yard today... I'm not freaked, but would appreciate some collective information If it available. Quoting: shawnerz In the Book of Genesis, the raven is described as having been only one of three beings on Noah's Ark that copulated during the flood and so was punished.[17] The Rabbis believed that the male raven was forced to ejaculate his seed into the female raven's mouth as a means of reproduction.[17] Interestingly according to the Icelandic Landnámabók – a story similar to Noah and the Ark, Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson used ravens to guide his ship from the Faroe Islands to Iceland.

It's quite curious as they are not indicative to the area, and they are now gone.. I have of late been kind of spiritual in a way, which is not my normal way of being... Just the same it seem's odd that four would show up at the same time... I'm wondering if anyone else has unusual happening's since these time's are curious.. |

They come down from the higher altitudes/mountains and avoid freezing/starving. Blackbirds are pretty smart too. As a kid I tried to shoot them however they seemed to 'know' when I was about to fire. I could hit anything with my pops lithgow .22, anything except for crows and currawong that is. Love Bob |

Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door - Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door - Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, `Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven. Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore - Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door - Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as `Nevermore.' 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 further 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.'¨ Edgar Allan Poe ´The Raven´ |
