Raven Black (Shetland)

Product Information

Common ravens are known to steal and cache shiny objects such as pebbles, pieces of metal, and golf balls. One theory is that they hoard shiny objects to impress other ravens. [95] Other research indicates that juveniles are deeply curious about all new things, and that common ravens retain an attraction to bright, round objects based on their similarity to bird eggs. Mature birds lose their intense interest in the unusual, and become highly neophobic. [96]

The modern English word raven has cognates in many other Germanic languages, including Old Norse (and subsequently modern Icelandic) hrafn [5] and Old High German (h)raban, [5] all which descend from Proto-Germanic * khrabanas. [6] An old Scottish word corby or corbie, akin to the French corbeau, has been used for both this bird and the carrion crow. [7] Collective nouns for a group of ravens (or at least the common raven) include "unkindness" [8] and "conspiracy". [9] Classification [ edit ]Other notable stories tell of the Raven stealing and releasing the sun, and of the Raven tempting the first humans out of a clamshell. Another story of the Kwakiutl or Kwakwaka'wakw of British Columbia who exposed boys' placentas to ravens to encourage future prophetic visions, thereby associating the raven with prophecy, similar to the traditions of Scandinavia.

In fact, many people encounter ravens on a daily basis depending upon where they live and what activities they engage in. Stahler, Daniel; Heinrich, Bernd; Smith, Douglas (August 2002). "Common ravens, Corvus corax, preferentially associate with grey wolves, Canis lupus, as a foraging strategy in winter". Animal Behaviour. 64 (2): 283–290. doi: 10.1006/anbe.2002.3047. S2CID 53176223.Juveniles begin to court at a very early age, but may not bond for another two or three years. Aerial acrobatics, demonstrations of intelligence, and ability to provide food are key behaviours of courting. Once paired, they tend to nest together for life, usually in the same location. [57] Instances of non-monogamy have been observed in common ravens, by males visiting a female's nest when her mate is away. [68]
