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.

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 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23608681 Australia 09/15/2012 09:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore. 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´ |
