|
A.
|
For intelligence, ravens rate
up with chimpanzees and dolphins. These birds have the largest brain of
any bird species. Ravens can push rocks on people to keep them from
climbing to their nests and play dead to scare other ravens away from a
delicious meal. If a raven knows another raven is watching, it hides the
tasty bits. It pretends to put the food in one place but hides it in
another.
|
B.
|
It’s amazing to watch ravens sliding
on snow-covered roofs. For fun, they also roll down snowy hills. Ravens
often play keep-away with other animals like wolves, foxes and dogs. They
even make toys – a rare animal behavior – from sticks, pine cones, golf
balls, or rocks to play with each other or by themselves. When they feel
bored, they mock other creatures like crows, cats and dogs and find it
very amusing.

According to surveys, the ravens are
one of the main reasons why tourists come to see the Tower of London.
Nobody knows when the ravens first appeared there but there is a belief
that at least six ravens must always remain on the territory of the
Tower. Otherwise, the British Monarchy may fall. To prevent the birds
from flying away their wings are clipped every three weeks.
|
D.
|
In the past, in some cultures,
people were truly afraid of these dark birds. In Germany, ravens
were considered to be the incarnation of criminals’ souls.
In Sweden, ravens were thought to be the souls of murdered people.
And in Denmark, people believed that it was dangerous to look at
ravens because you could turn into a raven yourself.
|
E.
|
Sometimes people find injured
ravens and take them home, but it’s really challenging. These birds
require a lot of care, a lot of freedom and a lot of time. Ravens are
wild creatures, and they cannot be treated like cats and dogs are. If the
bird is strong and healthy, it is unfair and cruel to keep it in
captivity. In some countries it’s even illegal. So if you really love and
admire these birds, enjoy them from a distance.
|
F.
|
These birds are often confused with
each other because they are both black birds. Even people who are well
aware of the differences between them can get confused. Ravens are larger
than crows, with thicker beaks and longer tails. Ravens have
a deeper voice than crows.
