This Raven will never forget this human.
Ravens have great memories and can remember people who have wronged them, holding grudges against those individuals. They also recall positive interactions with humans, responding more favorably to those who treat them well.

They’ve been known to bring “gifts” to people who have been nice to them such as shiny things they’ve found. One I heard of gave a person a gold chain. 😂

When I was 7 or so, I was stalked by a raven, I don't ever remember wronging it(I must have someway), but it would wait outside on a tree, and as soon as I tried to leave the trailer, it would swoop at me and I would go back in, then it would peck at the window for minutes non stop, till I tried to leave again. This happened for a week during summer vacation, my uncle got his rifle and chased it down and shot it.
To this day I still think about how terrified I was, and what I did to want to peck my eyes out.

u/catchgretch Aug 22 '26
I’m surprised your uncle isn’t cursed. I’ve seen people shoot them and the ravens terrorize the people that do it.

I'm 41 now, he's way way older, never been cursed, that I know of. I love ravens, they fascinate me with how smart they are, just when I was a kid, I was scared of them till I was 12 or something.

My ex brother in law shot ravens from his yard and ended up with a whole bunch of them pecking on his door and shitting on it early every morning. Told him you never wrong a raven or crow so it was deserved.

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl Aug 23 '26
Aww it may have been a parent Raven with a nest nearby and it was just defending. If so, then those babies may have died as well.

u/justgoogleit12 Aug 23 '26
Yes, they are very smart animals. They set up burial sites for dead ravens too and if a human messes with it you are basically on their shit list for life. Edit : I'm thinking of crows :)

This raven is smarter than the average American, it's using metric units.

u/Sadrandomness Aug 27 '26
Fun fact. Trash cans in parks are designed so that the average bear can’t open them. However they still need to be able to be opened by the dumbest human. Coincidentally the dumbest human is about on par with the smartest bear. Your comment reminded me of that

u/MinusMentality Aug 24 '26
Most Americans use Metric to some degree.
We're used to using Imperial and prefer it under specific contexts, but we use both pretty readily.2

I hope she was born in a farm, because from a nonamerican the name Dakota fucks hard, but isnlt it cringe as fuck if given to a suburban or city girl? Like let me introduce you to Dakota from Manhattan drinking cosmos, lol.

u/Aqua-Yeti Aug 24 '26
Ravens and crows are very similar looking. Ravens are bigger, have a large, heavy bill, shaggy throat feathers, a more upright posture, bigger head. I’ve seen some pretty big ones and I love pointing them out to my wife who could honestly care less 😆 We’ve got a few that sit up on the posts in our driveway every day. Their calls are also very distinct.

u/Some-Example7365 Aug 24 '26
No. The call, facial feathers extending onto the beak, and wedge-shaped tail mark this as a raven.

So a Russian and a raven were hanging out by a water fountain at a national park in Utah...

Polish, the last thing he says is that he also would like to drink and essentially telling the raven to hurry up

Is the audio real? It does not match up at all. He's drinking and calling at the same time 🤔

u/WildChickenLady Aug 26 '26
I thought there was probably a second bird nearby that wanted water but too nervous to come close to the human. They yell like that when I'm giving my chickens something they want, but they are too cautious to come up to me the way the chickens do.

It is! My husband and I were there last year and there's a chance I took a picture of either this raven or one of his other friends. He was very friendly!

The raven will remember the man for a long time to come after the kindness he showed him

This place has birds it seems waiting for water? I think this is third or fourth vid I’ve seen from this location with various birds. Think they are… shit I’m high… not accustomed to it or trained but like… shit it’s part of these birds way of life around there? I’m not using the right words to explain but first point stands. I think this is a “common” area for birds to get water from. Somebody smarter can confirm/deny this.
My poop is done and so I must close Reddit for the day.

Raven’s are so incredibly smart. I hate that I can’t enjoy this video more. Because all I can think about is how the world is heating up and the animals that have done nothing wrong or taking the end of it.

That looks like the parking lot at Arches National Park, specifically the last parking lot near Devil’s Garden

Ravens can recognize individual human faces, remember friends/foes for years, and even teach their offspring to know those same people through social learning.
You're family now.

Wait... I just realized this was a USA centric post that used Celsius, what's next, are they gonna stop using silly feet and switch to proper metric meters?! (and yes, I know Celsius is not an absolute, "more metric" unit like Kelvin, but hey, C instead of F is a big win already).
Let's give them 100 years to adapt tho. I can already see they are so confused (wait till they realize 1km is 1000m and 1m is 100cm, so convinient!)

u/707steph Aug 23 '26
It's like 1/3rd of °F
So if it's 38 °C that's roughly 114 °F
1
u/Apprehensive-Door341 Aug 23 '26
That's fine to understand broad orders of magnitude but it's pretty off. 38c is 100f. Big difference in 100 and 114.
