Ravens Valley, from a Storyteller.

I’m not here to teach (or educate) anything to anyone but only as a reminder about the benefits of nature which, has its own limits. Wilderness cleans our air, filters our water and provides home for human as well as for wildlife. So it is crucial for humanity, which is already to blame, to bring radical changes today before it’s entire extinction tomorrow. That is my only intention here folks.

Just by the look... these guys are extremely territorial and very protective of their family. So it's good to be known by them. My fear of a Raven is bigger than of a bird of prey.

#NorthenRaven

This is our very good friend Diane. She's about 5 to 6 years old; a wingspan of appr 47", a height around 30" and a mass between 2 to 3 pounds. She's the largest and the heaviest in her species.

And right now she needs a hand to feed her kids. The Spring season has just started; the wildlife and breeding Season isn't complete yet for most animals. So the Ravens have practically nothing to eat and to feed their kids. Even Ducks, the Mallards, have been coming here every night for the last 4 weeks to eat sunflower seeds dropped on the ground by birds.

Now everybody knows what Ravens eat, so it is pretty easy to imaging that during Winters Ravens have nothing to eat. They're not small cities Crows eating garbage, fast food or whatever. Many people feed birds, in general, but no one helps Ravens. Probably because it's expensive or they just don't care. They have survive because of their independence. So it is precisely why we decided to help them.

It took us over a year to attract this couple, Jack and Diane, in our land. We've been helping them survive for over 3 years now with 2 of their past generations. These guys adore chicken eggs, chicken hearts, fresh pork meat, pork liver, pieces of whole wheat bread and unshelled peanuts.

It's like having pets except they live outside. Wild and free.

Even by helping them to survive for over 3 years now, with 2 of their past generations, Ravens are still teaching their siblings to be extremely mistrustful/distrustful toward humans. Every time youngsters approach the land, a squawking sound by one of the parent, from the big dead spruce, can be heard. Meaning, go away!

Who can blame them!!!

They trust us, but kids have to learn the basic rules about Ravens and Humans. And if you have read the history of Ravens vs Humans, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
