Fable the Raven | Preparing for our move | Travel Box Training

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2020
- With 6 weeks to go until my house move is complete I'm making sure all the birds are prepared to travel. As Fable has lived and flown on this farm her whole life the move will be most challenging for her.
I am in the process of box training her, so that when it comes to the move she will be happy to travel without any drama. A new home is going to be a huge change for her, so the more we can do to make it a smooth journey, the better!
Thanks for all your continued support - much love, and see you all soon!

That box appears small compared to Fable. Any reason Fable couldn't use the same kind of travel box used by the Falcons? Enjoyed the well produced video and music. Thanks Amy & Fabel.
She likes to see out, weirdly she feels safer because she can see what's going on. Its common with parrot species too. Falcons and hawks like to "wind down", corvids like to see what's happening. It's also important to make sure the box is not too big as that is where they will injure themselves. Its comfortable enough for her to stand in but not so big she jumps around and hurts herself :) hope that makes sense...
Falconry And Me ....got it...! Makes total sense....
@@FalconryAndMe Winding down vs Seeing, that is an interesting difference between Falcons and Ravins. Although I will never take care of any birds I do enjoy learning details about their behavior and thought processes.
@@FalconryAndMe You can try to place the box higher, on your eye-level, put some sticks & hay inside, and you won't be able to take her out after she claims it as a "nest" :)
That is my 2 cents from working with pigeons, some birds feel safe and secure in small spaces only if they are able to observe their "territory" from there!
Edit:
The best position would be to place the box back close to the wall, as high as possible, offering the best view of the area, and a perch in front of the box "entrance".
@@FalconryAndMe
I have parrots and have helped wild birds over the years and you are correct.
She obviously knows it's a safe box, she's just training you to bring her maximum number of treats whenever there's a new thing.
Yes
Yes, and the "training" is going well!
You know, given how smart she is, I wouldn't put it past her.
Common Ravens’ cognitive toolbox includes manipulation by deceit. - Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Handbook of Bird Biology
This should be the goal for all animal training. Making the learner think they are training you. I go into the box and get treats? Easy! Let's play this game all day!
"You're not making this easy...."
That should be a caption in parentheses prefacing every Corvid characteristics list.
One of the many things I love about Amy is how well she handles interruptions. She responds to everything Fable does (or is certainly aware of everything), even when she's in the middle of doing something else important. 😊 And she responds so lovingly! No wonder the birds are crazy in love with her!!!! 😊🙏💚
@@rumigirl good point. It's very reassuring to see that Fable's well-being clearly takes precedence over presentation or ease of recording.
Those shots of Fable getting used to the box puts her size into perspective.
I was going to say the same thing. The bird looks huge when you see them both together on the ground and zoomed out some.
She seems slighly bigger than Loki or that's just me? Loki is quite large too. I herd that males grow bigger. Is Fable a scandinavian raven since she's pretty large
I agree. I mean, she looks big on Amy's arm but then you see Fable on the ground while Amy is sitting and you're like oh wow she's massive.
I wouldn't be surprised if she is a scandinavian or Norwegian raven. These are said to be the largest raven subspecies on the planet. She is most likely a descendant of Huginn and Muninn!
I read that ravens are as large as red tailed hawks
I had a chuckle when smarty pants Fable pulled the berries out of the carrier. Watcing Fable process things is just fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to keep us updated.
My Nan nursed a crow back to health in the 70’s - he totally fell in love with her and would sit on her shoulder whilst she put the washing out and hand the pegs to her. Watching Fable reminds me of her especially when you are honoured with head bumps. You are so patient- it’s lovely to see how close you are.
I say boop boop, then my fiancé and I will say wow! in unison. So yes, we love fable and your channel (:
Haha same here 😂👍🏻
HA!😁
Myself and my son do this too 😂 it's infectious 😂 x
So cute 🖤🖤🖤
Me and my brother are doing the same 😆
WoW! Boop Boop
When I was working at a university, every morning the crows would great me with a huge chorus. I would talk back to them, people thought I was crazy, lol. They put beautiful feathers and trinkets in my path, until I had a great wall of feathers. The -flock- _murder_ moved on, or was driven away, and I still miss them.😔
I talk to the neighborhood crows too, keeps the pesky neighbors away...cause I’m coo-coo❤️👍🏼
Aw, they brought you gifts? That's so wonderful. Really a sign that they saw you as one of their own in a weird way. How cute ❣️❣️
That's so wonderful and special that your wild, black feathered friends left you gifts!! Thanks for sharing your story!
@Thomas Paine no they ate at a local rendering plant.🤢 My late husband worked at the plant and I think the crows connected with me when I brought him lunch. After that, about 50+ would sit up high in these old trees and wait for me to talk to them. After I went in to my work building, they went back to the plant for a snack, lol. Our son has this 'ability' too. Imagine all the feral cats in the neighborhood sitting on your porch, wanting to come in! He can tame anything.
@@chuckbus you are not coo coo. You are what human beings are supposed to be.🙄
I never realized how large Fable really is!
Murrrr! I agree, I watched all the Fable videos but until she was next to Amy on the ground, I didn’t notice her real size.
Me to!....i said out loud 'Shes so big!'
Basically a gothic chicken
Anna Hill much, much smarter than a chicken.
@@annahill99 how disrespectful to ravens..
You are such a great role model for young girls today! 😁
Yessss, absolutely! Love her!
@ Sassenach1 Totally agree
Isn't that the truth?
True👍
A great role model for sure !! This should be shown in schools. Highly educational !!
I just love fable's fluffy head. You're so lucky to be able to interact and love such a beauty!! I think your videos are so wonderful to watch and so calming and informative xxx
Fable is gorgeous.
*Good luck with the move! Hope you have lots of help!* 🚙
boop boop! Good luck on the move, fable!
Fable is so special...you guys have a wonderful relationship...thanks for the update
I have parrots and there is similarities with bird behavior across the board. My girls do have second thoughts about things like boxes, unless of course they are broody and then want anything even closely resembling a box. Fable has a wonderful and thoughtful owner who knows the right things to do. Good luck with the build and move. God bless you 🤗🦜🦜🦜
What a black beauty! Just love Ravens. Your patience and understanding of her personality is just wonderful to watch. Thanks for sharing...whaaa, boop, boop!
1:56 Oh my god, she is gorgeous! I'm in awe how beautiful she is. We hardly see her beautiful back.
Her back is amazing and the camera doesn't do it justice really
Fable: "Mwa!"
me *dies*
Your so patient.. it pays off. Love the channel; best wishes
I know the "boop boop"s are a fan-favorite, but I love those long Fable croaks. Even though she talks, hums, kisses, and boops, I think the croak is the funniest sound she makes!
It's called a purr :)
I laughed so hard when she dragged it out. You could almost here the "I'm just going to take this out, thanks."
Oh it's just so lovely to see how much she trusts you, and how you explore the box together. She's come on so beautifully in a short space of time really.... A wonderful video Amy, thank you so much for sharing 👍🏼🙏🏼😊
Fable Just makes me smile, what a superstar.
Even by the high standards of this wonderful channel, that was one heck of a delightful 'upload'. Fable is the stuff of legend!
I'm so excited you've decided to continue & make more videos after your move.!! You have opened a whole new world for most of us. Your patience & love for your animal & birds is OUTSTANDING!!
Please tell Fable I said "BOP"!! I ❤ HER, all her tricks & SPLENDOR!!!😍
You are SO patient and wise! Your kindness and dedication is an inspiration to us all! God bless!
Fable is hands down the cutest name for a raven! I love it! 💚✌️💚✌️💚
I never usually comment, since I'm one of the first, might as well say it. This bird is lovely, I love discovering Fable's routine. I hope the moving goes well but I'm not really worried, you seem to prepare and handle it professionally !
No worries! Focus on your health and upcoming plans. I enjoy seeing and learning about all your birds. You will certainly be extra busy over the next month and we will be here when you are all settled. Best wishes.
I always forget how big ravens atually are. Probably only a medium size bird to you but I have to say to us lowly non bird people 😆Fable seems big.
Huge!
Always lovely to see Fable and great that you are ensuring she feeis as happy as possible for the move. She's a lucky girl.
Wow you can really see the affection Fable has for you Amy.. What an amazing relationship you have with these birds..
Pore Fable! having to move from a mansion to a small bungalow I don't think I would be happy lol, Love what you are doing see you next time.
You know when you get a song in your head and you can’t stop singing it. Well I can’t stop saying boop boop, mwa and hello. Never thought I’d be mimicking a bird haha. 👌💕
Ahhh the great Mistress of 'Boop boop!' is back and my mood allready increased a lot :-)
Many many many thanks for this Vid Fable!
Oh and also thanks to your Human as well ^^
I can't get over what big bird Fable is. Such a beautiful creature. 🖤 Boop Boop Fable! 🙂👍
6:40
Falconer: You go in?
Fable: Nah, treat comes out!
We all love Fable 👍👍👍
Really looking forward to all your new videos! Please take your time, we are waiting patiently :D
Aww lass you've got the patience of a saint so you have. Great video thanks for sharing 👍
6:39 Fable is all like "I have an idea!!" YOINK!
What has surprised me most in this video is how big she is. I’m not sure it was quite so apparent with the torso shots.
Yeah its hard to understand on video just how big she is sometimes
@@FalconryAndMe omg I know you might have a boyfriend or Husbund . but damm girl you have a nice bum!. sorry I had to get that off my chest. :) btw you have an awesome youtube channel . I use to work at a bird of pray centre a few years ago
@@michaelhawkins7389 Ummm...this may not have been meant to be creepy...but...IT IS VERY CREEPY. Please don't comment on people's body parts.
@@barbarasmith2693 Agreed. Also, worth noting that it's awfully presumptuous to assume she's straight. #justsaying
You are both very amazing. Thanks for shining a light into the world of birds in general and certainly Miss Fable.
She's big, beautiful and utterly adorable.
I'm jealous.
what a special, intimate bond you have with her. What an amazing creature.
Can't help but smile every time Fable says, "boop boop."
I love Fable's fluffy head! ❤
Few in my life, I have seen people who know what they are doing and actually enjoying what they're doing. You, young lady is one of them! Job well done and good luck.
I have a little statue of Odin in my kitchen
And on each shoulder is a raven whispering in his ear/ he sends them around the world and they return to tell him what is going on/ Norse believed ravens were intelligent and loyal/ just like
Fable❣️
Good luck with training and moving Amy,
It will be great to see your new home!❤️
It's always great to see you and Fable interacting and it's a pleasure to watch. Take care and stay safe ❤️
You're the best Martin
@@LibbyTickles Thank you young lady. Having been a falconer many, many years ago it brings it all back to me and I just LOVE it. Take care and stay safe.
I love to see when a person takes the time and patience , and cares about the feelings of a creature ! she could have just thrown it in a cage , and only cared about herself, but because she didn't , it shows the love she has for this bird! outstanding we need more of this in the world.
I have never felt as strongly as after having watched this that I need a raven in my family!
Such beautiful and clever birds!
The love that raven has for her! We had a blue budgie named Pirot ,( parakeet) that loved my dad. The moment he came home from work, Pirot would open his cage and fly upon the shoulder of my father. They were best of friends.
Excellent!! Thank u 4 the video & updates!! Can't wait 2 c Fable in her new digs!!!😀😍😘😘 Hope the crate training continues well!
I am all, Thank You for being patient with Fable, and with us! She is a BIG birdie! Seeing that cat carrier does give good perspective on her "girth!"
We all waiting for Fable to mimick ; " Well, thank you", "that's very lovely." 😁🇳🇱
It's heart warming to see the dedication you have for the safety and well being of these fascinating and magnificent animals. Keep up the good work and we appreciate you allowing us into YOUR life!
You are one very patient lady! 👍🦅❤️✍🏻📽👀👏👏👏👏
Only in a video like this do you see just how big some of these birds are.
Just laughing at her standing on your head. Lookit me! I'm a hat!
Your kind ways are so lovely. This is how we teach our young horses to get on trailers. Hooray to seeing you twice a week. We're all here to support you, at least I am. Please stay safe in all that you do and the big move!
Thank you 💖 you too!
This gorgeous animal is so affectionate. I believe that she loves you.
You are so patient and amazing, Amy! Thanks for another wonderful session with Fable.
"I dont want her to become bored!" - at the today's training with the fruit I got for one moment the impression you were bored, I was just waiting for the moment you start to eat the fruits.... 😂🤣😂
I think I would've eaten one, for sure! 😅
Wow! It is very easy to forget how big these Ravens are
Thank you for the video.
Hope the move goes well.
I'm watching all these videos again and again! and with the great pleasure! thank you very much for sharing these fascinating stories.
You are one patient compassionate woman! 😌
I have fallen in love with Fable !! I just bought a mug cant wait to receive it
The Blue/Purple tint on Fables feathers are awesome when the camera shifts angles :)
Best bird mom ever! 🥰
Amy,
I love seeing you and Fable together.
You both have a real bond, like having a featherd child. Take care of yourself, moving can be stressful, but if the new home is where you want to be, is a new adventure. 😊
Happy moving. Fable is so adorable.
Wow, she's huge! When sitting with her beside the box I realized how big she is.
It's quite apparent the strong bond you two have. Your patience with her is amazing. And yours with Fable's, too, Amy 😊.
Hoping the move goes well for Fable and all your lovelies, and for you as well. Fable is truley a very special bird, I feel happy every time I get a chance to see her. Thanks!💙
Fable is your bestfriend. i Love how she hugs you, so special.. safe travels
I so admire your patience. I really enjoy watching you with your friends.
Amy and Fable..... beautiful ladies!
I see others are commenting how big Fable seems. She is so much fun. This was interesting to watch.
Amazing bird SHE is very intelligent God bless you both
You are so amazing and Fable absolutely adores you. You are an angel here on earth. God bless you always for your loving heart.✝️💫❤🙏🏻⚘✝️💫❤🙏🏻⚘✝️💫❤🙏🏻⚘🕊🦅😘
I've never seen such a big Raven..Love you two together!
Her hairstyle is so fluffy when she poofs her feathers on her head :3
Call me a weirdo. I bet if u explain the whole situation, we are moving, this is your crate, everyone else gets a crate too or whatever. She will get it! You got this Amy! & i hope everything flows perfectly well with impeccable timing, i can only imagine what you are facing with this move! GODSPEED!!!
Sometimes I wish i was dr dolittle...would make life a lot easier 🤣
@@FalconryAndMe you are my dear, you indeed are!
@@lindamon5101 She is!!!! Fer shur.
Incredibly handsome bird! Very nice metal-black feathers.
Boop Boop ❤️ Fable saved my day, yet again!
Brilliant work! God bless you. ❤️💐
If the Sticky fits, then the box is alright xDDD ❤️❤️❤️
So much LOVE between the two of you. It’s so uplifting to see. Definitely can see how big and majestic she is. So much time and love and positive energy you give to all your friends. ❤️ Boop Boop.
Thank you Amy, didn't appreciate how big Fable was till not, shes a gorgeous bird ❤❤❤🏴🏴🏴
Pretty fascinating watching you normalize her moving box so she will be comfortable. You are a good Fable Mom! As ever, a pleasure to watch and learn through your eyes. Thanks again for sharing. ds
Best of luck for your big move!❤️ are you spending this kind of time with all your birds? Your patience and passion is so inspiring!
Yes, its all i do all day. :)
Falconry And Me getting all the birds ready for a move must be a massive undertaking and the time you have taken with Fable showed me how inadequately I prepared my pets for a move. And as a matter of fact, I am learning a lot from watching you work with Fable in my own handling of my dogs and cat, even though they aren’t birds, the patience translates to the same language if you know what I mean. So thank you for that. :)💗
Boop boop! Fable is so clever and beautiful. Thank you for being such a lovely human friend and carer to her and all the other animals
Lovely to see the bond you have and the mutual trust is wonderful to witness..
I love Fable! What a wonderful personality and intelligence!
Your love and dedication makes her life complete. God bless you.
Moving for a normal household is a monumental feat. For your “Aviary Household” I cant even imagine but I’m sure it’s more than monumental.😊. We’ll jump on whatever you can get to us Amy and look forward to regular videos when you’re settled. Thank you.
Thank you Miss Amy, Boop - Boop Fable! \o. You do what you need to Amy - I Love that you get to put up video's at All & wonderful news with the Full-time You-tube You've got in store for us.. !!
