It's really fascinating to see that it stayed there and knew that the people would pull the quills out seeing as it didn't fly away instantly.

harrykuntz (12/07/2015) [-] I'm guessing that they regularly feed it, since ravens can recognize people by their faces. Can't imagine it sitting there like that if they hadn't interacted with it before

rakaka (12/06/2015) [-] But we've demonstrated that ravens aren't that stupid, they just aren't particularly smart. Would they have the cognitive ability to neuter the crows in such a way that they can only make the tools the ravens want and not have the ability to make weapons necessary for overthrowing their raven overlords?

The Crows would become second class citizens under the supreme rule of the Nesting Leader, General Caw.

rakaka (12/06/2015) [-] It's been three years since the takeover.
General Caw sits atop the highest tree the Ravens could find. Of course He's completely exposed to attack, but that doesn't matter much when our wings are clipped at birth to keep us subservient.
My father works a "nice" job designing tools and weapons for the Ravens who dwell in the trees and in the sky. It could be worse for him, he could be slaving away in the forges making things he will never use, for people he will never see and who know little of his life or existence.
The rest of my family are all gone. They were thrown from the second highest branch, just below the nest of General Caw to send a message to my father and I. He had been spotted with other crow rebels. They called themselves merciful for not killing him or demoting him to hard labor in the mines or forges.
I wish he were.
Now I myself have the "privilege" of being educated thanks to the position my father holds.. Educated in only a nominal sense. Every day I am told things like "You must never question our Leader or the Great Ravens" and "Never look a Great Raven in the eye, it is disrespectful." and my personal favorite: "Always be grateful to our Leader for his mercy." Some crows my age don't learn these things at all and must work in the same places their parents do. Sometimes I envy them, but then I remember how they're maimed and diseased after months of toiling, and have the choice of dying or continuing to work.
I'm no writer, and can't think of anything else right now.

I feel like this was some crow dare and the crows in the trees are just encouraging him to get closer.

skumbaner (01/04/2016) [-] Well no, the thing is that all crows, including ravens are part of the same family, the "crow family" or in latin, corvidae. The Corvidae family includes birds such as the magpie, jackdaw, hooded crow (or just grey crow, eurrope only), Black crow (or carrion crow, europe only), the american crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos Wholly black like the carrion crow but unlike the hooded crow which is partly grey. Is the U.S. counterpart to the hooded and carrion crows) and the common raven (Corvus corax, exists in both the U.S. and Europe).
So technically, crows and ravens are both types of crows, even if the american, hooded, and carrion crows are more commonly seen as "crows" while ravens are generrally not associated as crows.
This is why I in my comment said "I love me some crows" even though it was a raven in the OP. When I spoke of crows, I meant both Ravens and the birds more commonly known as "crows".

kentravyon ONLINE (12/07/2015) [-] Not at all. In fact, porcupine quills possess antibiotic properties so the areas where they pierce won't get infected. Keeps the quills a deterrent but really minimizes the long term effects of being pierced. Significantly less chance of infection / complications

animals are fun.

banfio (12/07/2015) [-] well if i were stranded in the wilderness I'd totally do that.
(not related but fun) I had a pair of scorpions i befriended once. at the time my right hand was broken and they decided to crawl into the cast and curl up underneath. I was camping at the time, so i decided it'd be hilarious to go around shaking everyone's' hands until they came out and scared someone. the guy they ended up scaring already hated me, but at least after that he feared me more.
That being said, not all animals like me. I had a lizard i was trying to catch once that lunged forward and latched onto the skin between the bases of my fingers. i freaked out for a few seconds and then realized that i had still caught him even if not how i had originally planned, and walked around showing him off as my blood started to dye him red. (pain bothers me, but after some pretty serious injuries as a kid I stopped really caring too much)
