My mom is friends with a whole murder of crows. She started to feed them, and now they recognize her, and even her car. She can tell them apart, and they have taught their young that my mom is OK to be around. It's just spectacular to see how they all swarm around her when she comes to feed just one or two.
Murder of crows?
@@shiva72945 Yes. Thats what a group of crows is called
And It's a conspiracy of ravens
They are my favourite
My parents have had a garden full of regularly visiting jackdaws, two crows, a magpie and many smaller birds. I remember growing up we used to "raise" some chicks that fell down a chimney somewhere, until they were independent enough to meet and hook up with their kin. They keep checking in from time to time. Birds are awesome creatures and we humans should take more time to appreciate their world and learn to love like them.
I thought it was'' gang of crows ''' or flock
I’ve seen crows do that head lowering or bowing behaviour with their partners as a ‘request’ to be groomed. It’s very sweet how affectionate they are.
Yeah I think it's kind of funny to see it as a sign of respect since it's a request for preens but on the other hand, without trust and respect there wouldn't be any preens to request, so...
We have a pair that sit on our neighbor's roof that do the same. Always so loving to each other and grooming each other. They sure brighten our days 🥳🎀🇨🇭.
That's funny, when I saw James the raven lower his head while his wife was saying something to him I got the impression that she was complaining and he was thinking, "No, no, I can't take it anymore....."
Makes sense. I do this to my bf when I want him to play with my hair lol
My cockatiel dose this too. Birds are very affectionate
Crows and ravens are extremely intelligent birds. Scientists have pegged them at 7-8 human years in intelligence. They mate for life, use tools, have a sense of right and wrong, have mourning rituals, etc. Beautiful what you're doing for those precious animals. God bless and love from Canada!
ravens are way more intelligent than crows tb
That's awesome. Much love from Canada Ontario.
@@pedronchoxgrc19 the opposite is true, actually. All corvids are incredibly intelligent, but crows beat out ravens.
@@rathalosa3952 That's true actually.
Why can they not grow in intelligence like us? Wonder what the average age was for crows used in those studies..they obviously dont have formal education but they learn and develop all the same over the years. Equal age for non humans animals alot of time seems smarter than human of the same age.
Isn't it beautiful how nature just shows up and fills your spirit. We are all connected. What a great story. ✌️
So true !
Love crows and other birds!
Bird pairs bond for life. How lucky she is to be surrounded by all this wildlife.
No, not all birds. In general, birds that have males and females that look the same are much more likely to be monogamous. And cheating is quite common in some species that form pairs.
But I agree that wildlife is amazing to witness. Ravens are among my favourites.
@@hojmatros5102 yeah most birds don't pair for life and even those who do will usually have a new partner thr folloeing season if one dies.
and to appreciate it.
@@hojmatros5102 You may also enjoy Falconry and me - she has a raven who is endearing as well.
No. Ravens and other birds of the same family do though, but there too there's sometimes the exception. In ravens personality IS a thing and can be a deciding factor, similarly as it happens in humans.
If all humans understand and appreciate the beauty of nature like this woman does, the world would surely be a better place!!
4sure💯❤️
Yes if ppl had this beautiful quality of life like the uploader of the video,the world would be wonderful.
That includes you
I live in the Netherlands. Here the people make stone gardens where nothing can live and the build their houses in a way no bird or insect can nest there. Whole parts of towns are lifeless. It's spooky to be there. I'm so affrais this is the furture of this world.
Beautifully summarized
🤣 The way the squirrel slid down the pole at 2:07 🐿 I wonder how many times he’s done it that way.🤣 He used his tail to wrap around, went down face-first, and I swear I heard the gripping “screech” sound effect.😆 I don’t know why I find it so funny! Adorable😍
•Did anyone else notice it?
Yes !! Super cute 😍
yes hahaha
😂 ya, I was like is nobody gonna talk about the squirrel?
Haha ! That's hilarious 😂
Haha I haven’t noticed until you’ve mentioned it 😂
Wow lady you are such a wise wise person I admire you
James: "So this is a human being"
Margaret: "Yes, darling. And her name is free food. "
Both: "Dohoho"
🤣🤣🤣
Oh, she is much more than that.
Я думаю она много больше, чем просто бесплатная еда. Не согласна с вами.
😂😂😂
that is the least we can do after destroying their habitat and their food supplies.
They're watching us just like we're watching and observing them. They're like "look at these things living in these boxes!" 😄
Yep animals in boxes with no wings.
Aye, it really does make you wonder what all of our proportionately massively increased brains are actually good for, when crows and such are capable of pretty much everything we could really hope for at like 1/20th the headspace XD
So when will they start to bring us delicious food
@@CockmageLVL99 train them to cut your chicken and cook for you
I've always loved crows and ravens. They're so incredibly intelligent. And if you get one to trust you they are very friendly! I absolutely love them
I can't believe LouAnne said "I'm no-one special"!
Sweetheart, you truly ARE special.
It’s like you’re living in an enchanted forest. Crows are so smart. They’ll bring human friends gifts like shiny objects, buttons, etc. So glad you’ve created a safe space for bees. Thank you for sharing your own magical kingdom.
Lol I hear so many stories of crows gifting items. I fed two crows and their various chicks every day for over 6 years and they didn't bring me a thing 🤣🤣
@@angelkotilainen I guess they didn't like the taste but thought it was too late to start being picky now 💀
I like to joke that I was “adopted” by a parrot when I was 3. This poor bird had lost her younglings and was really depressed until she met me and decided she was gonna “raise” me. Since I only visited that state twice a year we feared that she wouldn’t recognize me, but every time she knew who I was until she passed away two years ago. It was such a humbling experience growing up with her in my life and I feel truly honored that she chose me to take care. Nature is really amazing and I wish more people got to see just how espetacular life truly is. Animals are extremely smart and just as sentimental as any human, they love, learn and mourn and is a life changing experience to witness how especial they are
What a wonderful story. My first cat when I was a wee child was like a second mother to me. She groomed me, comforted me, protected me. It does give me hope for the world that creatures as wildly different as cat, parrots, and humans can share love.
How interesting
@@kirstencorby8465 Yes, I had a similar childhood - our cat would sit on my pram 'protecting' me.
Can you elaborate please? How exactly did it try to raise you?
Rest in Peace ❤
It’s so cute on how he bows his head, so he can feel her touch and affection 🥰
“They would look at me with such intelligence.”
The birds: 👀😶🤨👁️👄👁️
😂😂😂
This is by far one of my favorite animal videos. Like parrots, ravens, magpies and crows are extremely intelligent and seeing them connecting with us is fascinating. Thanks for the inspiration and for loving animals the way you do.
I completely agree. Hands down a favorite. This one just had me smiling so big.
Me too
You named all corvids except for blue Jays and crows they are all very intelligent
600th❤ like
I KNOW!! It's so heartwarming!
Real magic is what happens when we stop watching screens and start looking out our windows and connecting with other sentient beings. Love this deviation from the usual cutesy Dodo videos.
People don't really think about birds, I love them and even buy bread in the store to feed them out in the parking lots.
I wish more people thought about them - they especially need water in the heat.
@@violetfem1808 Please, please, please don't feed any type of bird with bread! I know you mean well, but bread is dangerous to birds and will eventually even kill them because it fills their stomachs but doesn't give them any of the nutrition they need to survive. And young birds especially will be unable to fly if raised on bread, because their feathers will not develop properly due to malnutrition. There are other things you can feed birds that are healthy for them and still completely affordable: nuts, seeds, grains, veggies, mealworms... Please look into this matter, as I'm sure you don't want to unintentionally harm your bird friends
@@Yoarashi No I don't feed my birds that, they scavenge off food in dumpsters & parking lot garbage cans - who knows what's in there. Nuts aren't affordable and neither are many vegies when you have a small horde of parking lot birds including seagulls.
I get wheat bread that's fortified w/ nutrients/grain. I understand and know you mean well but the best I can do is get some seeds but the bigger birds will need ALOT of it and don't eat it much.
Well said indeed. 🤗
@@violetfem1808 But you said you buy them bread to feed...?? Well, it's good if you aren't doing that after all. If you can't afford other options, it is literally better to feed them nothing at all than to feed them with bread
What an incredible backyard she has with all the different animals. They can sense her good energy, plus her backyard is an oasis.
I have a pair of crows in my yard. They just recently showed up. I have a couple of squirrels that will get my attention by jumping up to the window or tapping on the door. All the birds and squirrels share a feeding area. Even a neighbor cat shares the kiddie pool. I love watching the critters. This is an awesome video.
I would love to learn more about this little piece of paradise for nature for God’s creatures.
I loved how she called vultures the cleansers of the earth. And how people may misunderstand them but actually their super immune systems have let them evolve to eat the things that would cause others harm. Lovely.
We have always appreciated the job they do by keeping the World clean.
Also how lovely personality they generally have in captivity.
Every creature has benefits to offer; we have to understand and remember that. So many people don't like them, but vultures can get pretty big and impressive. The county roads down the way from the house, there are quite a few of these, sometimes you'll see a tree with 10-12 sitting in it. Lots of small animals don't make it across the road, but they are never far off from tending to that.
@@JadeDragon407I struggle to see the benefit of mosquitoes. Anyone able to enlighten me?
It's actually because of the movies or media in general. Even cartoons have always portrayed vultures as the bad bird species. That's also why I was scared of vultures as a kid.
Animals just know a safe person who understands and acknowledges their intelligence.
YESSS !!! Well said !! They choose us !!! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
This video is so magical and it moved me to tears (joyful tears)! This video is healing to my soul! I give gratitude to this wonderful woman for reminding me how magical and wonderful, nature and life can be! My backyard is already my haven, but this video inspires me to make it even more beautiful and inviting to my local wildlife. Thank you, dear woman, for this amazing, magical video! Things like this can change the world❣️🌈
I was crying as well! So beautiful!
Humans seeing their own reflection in the animals they look at. Leave them be, quit trying to know everything and to pretend you have it all figured out, you really don't. You're just being overly emotional and using that emotion it to reach other emotional people on the internet for profit.
Yay I’m not the only one who felt that.
That's exactly how I feel too from this video! It also moved me to joyful tears 😊
The reason the animals are drawn to you, is because they can see your being back. Can tell you're a decent sort, this whole mutual appreciation station you got going on, is beautiful ❤️
I love this lady's perception of her life around her. I resonate with her level of awareness. Also, ravens and crows are my favorite birds, and vultures are beautiful as well. All 3 are super intelligent and misunderstood creatures. 🖤
That name doesn’t fit with ur comment XD
If humans had just an ounce of a ravens wisdom. Our planet would be in a lot better shape. Truly wonderful magical birds ❤️
Many do, it's the misseducated you have to watch out for.
so true, we wouldn't have a potato as the president
@Thomas DeJacimo Why the comment? It just doesn’t work with the story subjects…
@Thomas DeJacimo
Don't waste your time. Just enjoy the beauty of the video.
I'm beginning to like animals more than people.
She is so sensible and magical with her words she is talking in beautiful pictures and it makes the whole story so much more shining and engaging.
All creatures great and small, God knew what he was doing ! All have a purpose in life ! It's us as humans that tend not to listen to what is around us ! Margaret and James just want to be friends ! You're very fortunate to be that ! Thanks for caring and sharing ! Life is a learning process !!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This woman is one of the most lucky women on earth!! To experience such beauty every day and to be accepted into these animal’s world is so beautiful 😊
🐙🐙
Everyone would be just as accepted, if only they open up to it. I have a wild backyard, by that I mean, it's over grown for winter, and it is well loved!!❤ do it....just open your yard up to the wild and stop mowing in winter. ❤ put water out, and food. So simple but beautiful ❤
It's not just luck. She has put a lot of thought and effort into creating and improving an inviting environment to attract them, as well as proving her trustworthiness to them... for years.
She's lucky she has a large yard but even when we lived in the middle of a city with a postage stamp yard we put out food and water and the birds found us, including a pair of crows that we fed for years. It was hard moving and leaving them behind, but we now have a bigger yard and more birds come to visit.
@@terryallen7356 I live in Manhattan, with no yard other than a fire escape, and I get a ton of birds every day visiting the feeder I hang out there. It's food for them and hours of entertainment for my cat, who sits in the window right in front of the feeder.
My pet rooster and hen are exactly like these two. He lowers his head in front of her or both just stand staring at each other with their beaks touching. They can't stay away from each other even for a second.
Chickens are amazing animals
How sweet! Proves animals DEFINATLEY do h ave feelings!
@@joannemurdock7899 they clearly do and It's odd how people can't see it, they might not be like humans but they probably are more intelligent than what we would expect
It’s actually a dominance thing. They’re staring each other down.
@@sambur6480 it is not. roosters are very kind to their hens. they will scratch the ground when they find food and allow for the hens to eat first. he will only eat after they have had their fill. roosters protect their hens with care and vigilance, they care for their wives. while it is true that there are plenty of dominance behaviours seen in chickens with the pecking order, roosters bowing their heads and sharing food is not one of them
Nature is beautiful. All those lovely wildlife you caught in your garden. James and Margret are simply adorable xxx
We can learn a lot from animals. Despite the negative connotation to crows they are smart and beautiful. I love how they move. They don't scare me at all ❤ You are doing a wonderful deed. Keep it up 👍🏼💖
I've seen documentaries about crows and their intelligence blew me away. They actually think and problem solve.
You do realize that's every animal on the planet, right? Please tell me you don't think humans are the only animals who do that.
@@englishatheart Sorry, Mrs know it all. But not all animal's have the ability to problem solve like a crow, or even problem solve at all. Many, however sentient, function from pure instinct and basic neuro associative conditioning from past experiences. "Please tell me" you're joking...
@@joebuzz2758 Also aren't orangutans the only apes that can have abstract thoughts?
@@englishatheart watched ur channel. I think I love you 😆 yeah I'm an Irish guy in America, NY. Guess u being Irish and your attitude makes lol
I love this lady’s life. She has the connection I’d love to have with wildlife.
build it and they will come.
You can do it! Start small and it’ll grow!
Such as a bird feeder! ❤
Jealous!!
Take a summer and turn your back yard into an animal friendly place. They will come. The first covid lock down summer i spend most of my days and nights in my back yard. Kept me sane too. I already had a bond with a couple of squirrels. i have vids of on my channel. My one fav squirrel we have even saved the life of a couple of her babies. One from drowning in a neighbours rain barrel( People please put mesh or something over your open water sources or rain barrels) And one tiny male just old enough to explore from the nest and we were hit with a freak ice storm. We found Boos nest destroyed and she was trying to stuff her 6 babies in a bird house. We found 2 on the ground we thought were dead. Boo showed my daughter and i, her one male baby. We scooped them up and took them into the house to do cpr and we managed to save the male. It took him 6 hours to recover. He was on his last moments and the tiny girl was already gone.
We were surprised he made such a remarkable recovery. The reunion was something to see. And sadly i recorded none of it. He stuck around the rest of the year and grew to be one of the biggest males. We named him lil peep, as that was the sound he made when he started to come around and breath on his own.
Then one night i was visited by a raccoon, she spent the whole summer visiting me. She came for dinner and stayed to play for hours. We played with a soccer ball (they treat a ball like a cat on their back) We played tug, she would fish for snacks from the dog pool. Then i also had 7 baby skunks, who came for their treat every night and walked all around me and allowed me to pet their tail as they walked past me. My raccoon friend fell in love with one of the babies and would hold her down and hug and pet her and groom her. The skunks never tried to spray. My raccoon Dita, was not fond of the 2 possums that would show up at times though, she even sat on my lap to be away from them.
I several times had to shoo her out of my house. I would go in the get something and she got the screen open and i would find her wandering around my Livingroom. She did not want to leave. lol I had tons of vids i have not uploaded yet, as in a way they make me sad. The weather started to get colder and i could not sit out side, but still put ditas dinner out for her, one day she just stopped coming and i never saw her again. That is the down side of bonding with wild animals. Then my ravens who help keep the hawk away from the birds i feed. There is one, not sure if its male or female, but he lost his mate the winter before and would come for the cat kibble i set out on top of the fence.He left me a gift the first time. Just a small round rock but i cherish it. And there is a family of 4 others who come every morn. I do not know why but when i look out and see them it give me a safe feeling. Some look at them and feel foreboding or the are a bad omen. I call them my sentinels.
Nature & animals the paradise that surrounds US💚💜💛
I'm saving this video to watch it over and over because it is so calming.
God has blessed us with so many beautiful creatures.
I can SO relate to all of this. We've become close friends with a crow couple who come to our backyard every day, and bring their young in the summer. We feed them every afternoon, and they come when we call them. They peer in our window. They defend us from intruders. They play peekaboo with us. They look right into our eyes. They sit on our balcony with us. And they love each other just as much as James and Margaret do. I cannot believe how amazing corvids are. I'm so glad to know them.
Not a good idea to feed them! You may be feeding them inappropriate foods to attract them, but it doesn't take long for the young in particular to develop structural problems which permanently cripples them. Secondly, you shouldnt be teaching them to lose their natural fear of people, you should keep your distance and can still appreciate them, as this lady does. Water and places to,hide from predators will bring everything in. You can get good ideas on how to create a nice safe habitat that will bring them in, from Cornell University
Ornithology, online. :)
Provide water. All living creatures need water, and you'll attract everything that lives near you. . But please, don't feed food to crows. It could attract undesirable elements, It could get them killed if they lose their natural fear of people, when they become pests. You don't have the appropriate foods they eat, anyway. Put out water, make sure you keep it clean, and sit back and watch. That's all you need.
@@MarySanchez-qk3hp I've carefully researched all the things you mention here. Crows are scavengers who often live near humans and thrive as scavengers of human food. But I never feed them unhealthy foods, regardless. I feed them only what is appropriate for crows. I keep my distance by placing food at a special location, then stepping back. I also always provide them with water. As for becoming to habituated to humans, crows are smart and recognize individual humans, learning who is and who is not safe. They then pass this information on to their young. Just because they trust me, does not mean that they then trust all humans. They do not. Much of what you say here does indeed apply to *other* wildlife, but not to crows.
@@CharlotteIssyvoo You are right about them recognizing humans! My ex husband got a crow mad at him. Soon enough, all the crows in our area would make a ruckus whenever he was outside. I thought they didn’t like us. But then I went outside without him and they didn’t act that way towards me alone. Also, his car got “bombed” regularly. Mine, parked right next to his, didn’t get nearly as much. Yep, those crows recognized him and also his car! ✌🏼💖
@@YvetteArby Our neighbour accidentally got too close to our crows' baby, and they started dive bombing her. I suggested she give them peanuts. She did. Probably solved. They like her now.
@ilikebacon To them, "intruders" are neighbourhood cats, humans other than us, crows outside their family unit, ravens, etc.

These ravens are our mentors since the dawn of humanity
I love her respect for these wild animals.
I've had crows as pets before and they are extremely intelligent, funny and endearing creatures. What a fantastic story of love. Thank you for showing all of us your story. ❤
People used to do a lot of stuff they can't do any more, including keeping corvids like crows as pets. They're Federally protected in the United States, it is now illegal to keep them without permits. And none of the specific permits allow for keeping crows as pets. The permits are for specific special purposes such as rehabilitation, transport, falconry, zoos, scientific research. I hope, if you're in the US, that this happened long, long ago. You wouldn't get permission nowadays. We know more now.
Amazing. Do crows enjoy being pets? Did you keep them at home or were they in the wild like these crows?
@@MarySanchez-qk3hp I believe that law only applies to crows and ravens who are native to/migrate to the U.S. Pied crows, for example, are a species who are native to Africa and are legal to own as pets (though, some states may require certification of some sort first)
Great video! James "knocking" was so cute, thanks for sharing this with us. 👍🇺🇲
That’s so special, what have and can see❣️ Ravens are also a symbol of change and freedom. Maybe that’s what has come into your life…🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽
This lady is a literal Disney princess. It's soooo cool seeing these close relationships with various wild animals. I live in the country and while I did rescue a crow and later a raven and built relationships with them , I've never had an animal from the wild form a relationship with me in the wild. That is really special
I love that they are named respectful sophisticated names. James and Margaret is fitting for their intelligence and unique personalities. It would be a travesty if she had called them Pookie and Skittles or something like that. I love this story so much.
Errrr... so there's a relationship between "sophisitcated" (??) names and intelligence ?? Huh !
That sounds like a slippery path going far from "love"... I would say, it's almost a fascist ideology... Seriously, not fun at all...
My mythology-obsessed self would've definitely named them Huginn and Muninn lol
@@garryiglesias4074 You're reading way too into it. It's not about naming people or babies, it's about the names you give to animals and pets. It says more about the person giving the name than the individual who is given the name.
There's a big difference between calling your cat Beef Stroganoff or Mittens or Piper. To give an animal a more human sounding name is respectful, giving them a joke name is... just a joke name.
Same. Names my puppies Sophie, Cloey, Sam (various middle names XD)
Even my snake! Severus Draco Snape. Sure it’s fictional characters but I’d name human children that too. Sounds delightful off the tongue.
Trust me, I do know some squirrels and a blue jay that should be known as Skittles, Pookie, and Deebo, the way they antagonize my cat 😡
Imagine a world where everyone treated nature with such curiosity, love, and care? Wouldn't that be incredible? I also have developed a crush on James. I love this - and ALL animals.
I would give anything to have a relationship with a group of birds like this. What an incredibly beautiful story. 💛
You can ❤
Your appreciation for our wild partners warms my heart. I relate to every nuance. Because I live East of the Mississippi, I'm limited o only experiencing ravens when I travel west, but I do feed and enjoy a great variety of "critters", including a small flock of crows. Thanks for that excellent video and providing a sanctuary for the wild ones.
There are ravens in eastern US, mostly northeastern but you can spot them as far South as north Georgia. Crows are very intelligent birds too, and I see groups of them frequently here in the Southeast. They all fly in a group and land together in my yard sometimes. They are fascinating! They walk around, clearly looking at the ground for certain bugs, I guess. They look like little old men in black suits, lol. You can just see their intelligence as they walk around, carefully examining things.
Ugg, can people stop applying the term "partner" to everything? Why can't you say our wild companions? Or brethren? I hate the term "partner" now because pretentious twats have destroyed love and romance by applying that term to romantic relationships because they're so insecure and desperate to prove to everyone how supposedly "equal" they are.
I’m in Australia and have a magpie family that have been visiting me for the last few years.Bruno and Bella brought their son Bocelli to meet me last year and he now visits me too and just a few days ago they brought their twins Barney and Bonnie to visit me as well.Being chosen by birds as their human connection is the biggest compliment ever.They left their son Bobo(Bocelli)with me last year for an hour while they went and did whatever magpies do...that is a HUGE amount of trust they showed me.Magpies are very protective of their young and the fact that they left him with me in that time absolutely blew me away and melted my heart.They are my family now and I hope I’m theirs ❤️❤️❤️
This is so beautiful. I'm so glad you have each other 💗💞💗
You were missing on a paradise right outside your home. The good thing is that you connected with it at the right time in your life. Things happen for a reason. Thanks for sharing. Oh n that love story of those two crows is amazingly beautiful. Much love n respect from the city of angels Cali 🇺🇸
Such a beautiful garden. These birds are pure soul. 💞💞💞
Quarantine really made me a whole different person.. it made me discover my true self. Sitting among birds, watching them bath feed and play really makes me happy and takes away all my stress. Every living being understands love and compassion, even plants and its all about making a positive start.
A lot of people became bird people because of the pandemic and it truly is wonderful. Every morning we feed the birds then come in, have coffee and sit in peace and joy as we watch them.
@@terryallen7356 I have always been so you can imagine how happy it makes me to see others discover them. I am a bird photographer now.
Anshu you must read 'Finding The Mother Tree" by Suzanne Simard. You will know the trees and plants much better. I've just started reading the book and it is fascinating!
Wow 💖💖💖

And literally crying tears of joy I wish I could live in a wonderland like you have I'm going to do this to my yard God-bless you in your family
Tia!Marie! Me too I bought bird baths years ago from and back yard! I throw scraps and fresh mince for The birds to
@JoanneMurdock that's lovely, but don't make them too reliant on your mincemeat offerings. I know of friends who did this and after several generations of feeding the growing flock of magpies, chicks started showing up with physical deformities. Over several years, because the birds were not finding enough of their own (nutritionally balanced) food, they developed, for example, calcium deficiencies that started showing up across the whole flock. They have since been weaned from their reliance on human-grade mince meat and can hopefully start to recover. They still hang around and the interaction is wonderful. They recognise the neighbours living on the street, and hop around warbling at visitors.
James has learned the secret of a great marriage: Happy wife, happy life! Thank you for sharing your yard and the birds who visit you! ✌🏼💖

😂 Thanks for this beautiful story. It shows how many different animals want to be friendly if people approach them in a kind way. We were made to have the animals under our charge. We need to be good stewards of the 🌎.🐦🐶🐺🐹🐢
Black birds are my favorite they are wonderful! This was beautiful. ♥️ Thank you for sharing.
I was lucky enough to have a very similar relationship with a pair of Scrub Jays. For 6 years I had many of the same experiences. The joy I had from being invited to interact with them, I will never forget. Ricky and Sarah taught me so much. They were free to come and go and they visited me almost every day! They changed my life.
Awwwwish we cud of seen them interact as well
Jays are also corvids like ravens. They are in the same family of birds, so that makes perfect sense they have similar behaviors to ravens.
I'm pretty sure he's just constantly asking to be preened but I still love this so much! And the little vultures! So precious!
Then you know squat about ravens 🙄
Christ I just love how people fight against what animals ARE & are soooooo desperate to be disconnected cold and so materialistic (& NOT in the money sense) you can’t even ATTEMPT to open your mind.
It’s not even a major mystery anymore these birds are HIGHLY studied….and they are the SMARTEST birds. Periods.
That ain’t my opinion either.
I agree, the bowing is the bird asking the other for some preening on the head, they love it and it helps build the bond. I've had and still got parrots and that's how it works. My African gray bows and pushes his head at me when he wants to get preened/petted on the head.
@@6Haunted-Days there’s really no need to be so rude.
animals have body languages and bowing is how ravens ask to be preened/is part of their courtship routine. that doesn’t mean that they don’t respect each other, it’s just showing love in a bit of a different way than we thought.
also ravens aren’t *the* bird. however, as part of the corvidae family they are *one* of the smartest :D they really are fascinating creatures
Shut up
@@6Haunted-Days You made a lot of assumptions about me that are completely wrong lol
Crows and ravens are absolutely beautiful.
True 💛 I was observing how the male raven hold his wing over her to give shadow in the heat 🤩
Wow you have created a beautiful safe garden for the wildlife to join you, and you are privileged to be welcomed in to their lives, as well. Great video thanks 💖😁
Amazing story. She's incredibly lucky to have all of this wildlife in her backyard!
But this lady creates her yard to be welcoming for wildlife bird baths! Food feeders !
I was moved to tears by this. I love animals so much, but this channel made me more grateful for all the great animals and people out there.
I love what you do! You're my hero and virtual doppelganger. Same thing happened in my yard. And same transition occurred in my heart and soul. I feel so blessed to have all the local (and migratory) species come to my yard as a resting place, day care, healing oasis. Keep up the magical work. If only everyone on this planet was like you. 🤗
damn girl,your yard is a nat geo wild venue!
This video was absolutely amazing and wonderful. Thank you for allowing us to see just how beautiful the animals and birds are.
I love the safe space you created for them. It has to be an amazing feeling knowing your accepted. Most people would shoo them away, especially the coyotes. It's sad that many people are so unaware of the beauty around them. Hopefully in the next few years, I'll have a house with a yard & I'm definitely going to make a safe space for the wild ones that live around me. 🥰❤️🙏
Also I can't stop laughing at your knocking crow. "Lady? LADY? HELLOOO? LADY?" And yes you're very right about that degree of knocking! That shows CONSIDERATION for others!
Her storytelling is so so powerful. And so is the story. One of my favorite videos if not the top one
Any creature is considered a good omen in my book. There is so much we could learn from their behaviours that would make our world better😌💙💚
I love your respect and genuine wonder. You’ve made a beautiful life.
I loved everything about how you described your relationships with the wildlife in your backyard. Your respect for their existence and the depth with which you want to understand them and sustain a friendship is so beautiful. You seem like a wonderful person and it lifted my spirits to hear your story and know you exist in the world. Thank you.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while she pondered, weak and weary.. "should I get a bird bath and feeder"
..the answer came in the form of
"The Raven" greeters 🖤🖤
So insanely beautiful and moving. It brings tears to my eyes.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for opening the window of awareness.
Blessings are just outside our window
Ravens are smart birds. I'm glad you're able to have a relationship with James and Margaret. 🥰
This is such a great story between birds, and with you and the dogs too! Your filming skills are amazing in capturing this all! It’s literally a love story from a movie 🦜❤️🦜❤️🐼
It's much better than a movie; it's nature.
Once i had a bird feeder where 2 cow birds came daily, a male and a female .the female would squawk and fuss at him until he fed her. After a half a minute or so she would settle down and eat on her own....he would take a break by flying away to a nearby tree. After a few seconds he would come back and feed her again
Ah I love this video! I watched it several times already, it makes me feel better, whenever I feel down. I loved crows and rawens since my childhood, i remember, how shocked I was when I found out a lot of people find them scary or ugly.....they are magnificent and intelligent creatures!
Wow…. You may be an animal whisperer 💞💖 Crows / ravens are known to huddle together as one big family💗💗
2:08 I know this story is about these two wonderful ravens, but how cool is that squirrel sliding down the bird feeder pole like batman?
Birds always amaze me
You are definitely blessed. ♥️ God knew you would love the animals. ♥️
This had me smiling the whole way through! How utterly heart warming. Animals are so often under appreciated. There's something so magical and spiritual when an animal puts their trust in you.
*I ABSOLUTELY ADORE RAVENS!* Thank you for sharing James & Margaret,you are absolutely the *Cat's Meow* in the LA bird and animal world.☘️🎉
Wow, this is truly a piece of art
So cinematic and such a great narration!
Birds are amazing
I love all birds especially the corvids & raptures! Thank you for such a thoughtful & beautifully created video! 💕💕💕💕💕💕
🌎🐾 She wanted to “…see what else was out there. What else was I missing that was right around me?”
If we all had this wonder, opened our eyes, and saw the beauty of the thriving life all around us. 🌎💙
Wow! A turkey vulture who cares for a raven's babies! THAT'S amazing. I love crows. We used to have a group (a murder) in our neighborhood. They regarded you as you walked by and talked to them. They had so much to say. They're such characters.
She’s so blessed🙏🏽
This is beautiful. You are a social petson to attract it and perceive it too. Thank you for sharing. Love Janme's and Margaret.
Such lovely observing, interacting & story-sharing. 💗
Absolutely beautiful Ravens.💗
There once was a man that enjoyed watching the black Raven's fly around, play, squawk, and chatter. He enjoyed them so much he would climb trees just to be closer to them. For many months the Ravens ignored the man, but after awhile, one of the Ravens flew from a nearby tree and landed directly next to the man.
In utter amazement, the bird spoke to the man and asked, "You have been watching us for a long time. You have tried to get close to us. Why do you do this?"
The man replied, "I mean no harm. I have become enchanted with you and all your relatives. I enjoy the play, the squawking, and I wish I could learn your language so I could understand more about you."
Then the Raven responded, "We are honored that you want to know us, as long as you do not cause harm, we will teach you our language."
For many months the Ravens taught the man all about the language and how the Ravens lived from day to day. The man became so educated that he knew everything there was to know about the Ravens. Many of the Ravens saw the man and accepted him as a friend.
One day, an older Raven was flying far over the man, dropped a walnut perfectly on the man's head. It was done on purpose and all the Ravens almost fell off their branches laughing so hard the way they do. One Raven was flying and was laughing so hard he had to crash land right in front of the man.
The man was feeling bad and was hurt by being made fun of, so he asked the Raven in front of him, "Why are you all picking on me."
The Raven stopped laughing and became very serious. "We thought you understood us, but apparently you don't. If you did you would know that we are not mocking you... well maybe a bit, but it is done in our way of having fun. We are 'playing' with you and that is all. It is not to be taken seriously. You should know us better."
The man took sometime to understand this and over time a few more practical jokes were played on the man and he in turn pulled a few "good ones" on the birds. A good time was had by all and the man became even closer to the Ravens.
Then another event occurred. A young Raven swooped out of the sky and pecked the man on the head. Then another young Raven swooped down and did the same thing. The man ran across the field and into the woods but the Ravens kept chasing him and very skillfully they flew at high speeds through the woods tormenting the man. Finally the two stopped and started to yell mean words, fighting words at the man.
Again the man did not understand, but he knew the two Ravens were very mad at him, so he decided to leave and let the Ravens be. The man went away for many months.
As he did his duties in the his tribal village, he told all the people about his adventures and what he learned about the Ravens. Some listened with intent, others just thought the man was a fool to study the Ravens so. The villagers gave the man a new name of "Black Feather" because of his close relationship to the birds, but the man objected and said, "I am no longer close to the Raven people."
From above there was a squawking sound of a single Raven. Some of the people looked up and were surprised that they could understand the Raven, others just looked around because they could hear nothing but squawking. The Raven was speaking to the man and said, "It is true, you are closer to us than any Anishinabe (Human) has ever come. You are close, but you still don't understand us fully. I invite you to return to us, many miss you."
Black Feather started to follow the Raven but then stopped at the edge of the village. He looked around to make sure no other Anishinabe could hear then asked the Raven, "why do you ask me back when the two Ravens where fighting with me and were mean."
"The Raven landed at Black Feathers feet and said, "See how little you understand us. The two young Ravens did not fight with you because you are Anishinabe, it is because they accepted you as a member of the Raven people. You should know that we fight among ourselves too. It is a part of our way of life. Instead of sulking and leaving you should have fought back."
Black Feather stood in silence and said, "There is much about Ravens I don't understand. Maybe we are too different people to ever understand each other. I should stop and return to my people in the village."
The Raven again shook his head and told Black Feather, "That is your choice, but again I tell you that you have come closer to us Raven people than any other Anishinabe. Would you throw this all away just because you can't understand us yet?"
Black Feather responded, "It's useless, how can I ever understand you, I can't even fly!"
A thousand bursts of laughter was heard from all the surrounding trees and Black Feather knew that all the Raven People were there, hiding and listening.
"Of course you can't fly. You are Anishinabe and we are Ravens. But we accept you as one of us. We play with you. We fight with you. We love you and want you back. We also recommend you don't try to fly in order to be like us, because then, you would not be Anishinabe nor a Raven but something else. We like you as an Anishinabe that understands us as Ravens. Join us or not the decision is yours."
Black Feather returned to the Anishinabe village and bid everyone farewell because he had decided to live with the Raven people. After all the farewells and such he started to leave the village. All the Anishinabe people were there to see him off, and high over head was a thousand Raven's.
Then from high above one of the older Ravens dropped a walnut shell and again with remarkable aim, plunked Black Feather right on the head. All the Ravens started laughing hard and all the Anishinabe were laughing too.
Black Feather laughed and looked up at the old Raven and said, "Good one."

Is this from a book?
A very wise story. Thanks for sharing ❤
These animals trust this woman’s spirit. That’s a beautiful blessing to get from Mother Nature
This woman’s Instagram feed is wonderful - lots of beautiful and peaceful photos (especially the night videos of owls visiting the birdbath).
