If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
crows are pretty big but they look TINY next to ravens
if u see a bird and go "wow that looks big maybe it's a raven"
if u see a bird and go "holy shit that's huge maybe it's a small housecat up in that tree"
OP is an example of the second
if you arent sure if you're looking at a raven or a crow, its probably a crow. today i have learned i will KNOW it when i see a raven lmao
also they are just so rare in cities they basically never venture into town anyways
they do but only at like 5pm and later ime they love deserted playgrounds and some raven populations have learned how to use a playground slide
but u know there are ravens about when you start hearing the cnockcnockcnock of beak clacks
i go for a LOT of evening walks (and am chronically unable to stop looking at cool birds) and i've never seen a raven in seattle until this morning
but then again, i'd also never seen a bald eagle in seattle, until one day i saw an EXTREMELY OBVIOUS bald eagle, and now that i've learned they CAN be seen in the city, i spot them every now and again, up in the sky riding thermals or very rarely swooping on some critter. so maybe im about to start noticing ravens more often.
ps: let me send u eagle pix on dicksword x3
ya u always have permission to make my icon go red
corvids take awhile to trust you but if you're predictable they'll get more comfortable. ravens are just the most autistic of them so they take longer to warm up to u and are also busy with their special interests (figuring out how to make cars do the work for them, chewing on sticks. just like me fr fr)
i can never tell the difference lol. maybe this guide will genuinely help so thanks
the funny thing is i can't tell them apart despite living my entire life in a town with huge numbers of both ravens and crows (they are literally everywhere it is impossible to go outside without encountering one and i love it)
if they make clacky beak that's kinda their twitter and also their low level alarm call, but if u hang out they'll often start slowly pushing boundaries, at least, city ravens. suburb rural ravens might be more wary because more ways to scare them off get used
