As for ravens, I believe they never leave the teenage phase, adults and you=

y look like they are all just having a blast.

What a fascinating experience Ali. Do you know if they were young with
parent birds or all young birds?

Young birds can be very different. I once had two immature Common Ravens in
my yard playing with a stick. They would toss the stick then retrieve it an=
d
toss it again. like two puppies with a ball.
