This morning when I got up, I looked outside and there were 2 ravens on the platform feeder. They took up the whole feeder while sitting on it. I realized how big those ravens really are when compared with my crow buddies. The ravens took flight when I went to look at them out the back door. One landed in a big tree in the next yard. I was admiring him and his BIG size. I went outside and put 2 hardboiled eggs into the platform feeder and then I went away to play with Andy the old cat. The next time I looked, the 2 eggs were gone. I am so glad that the ravens got them. No sign of any egg shells in the feeder or on the ground which means the ravens picked them up and flew off with them! The crows cannot pick up a chicken egg. They eat them by pecking at them and then leave the shells all around the feeder or in the feeder. An hour later I heard a fledgling crow out back making alot of racket. He wanted a treat. I went and put some rather old cheese out in the feeder and baby crow (very large) was very happy with that treat.
I just finished constructing a RAVEN BAG. It is a tote bad fashioned after a crow bag pattern by Elinor Peace Bailey. I converted it to a raven by changing the beak. It is so fine a creation even if I do say so myself. Elinor says that your life will not be dull if you dress funny!! Either you have it or you don't! Well I certainly have it with regards to toting around a raven tote bag! Here is to funny dressing!
