Hi All

 

   I was asked last night about a birding occurrence someone had witnessed.

 

It involved a group (murder) of Ravens in Bendigo.  I presume they were
Little Ravens and they were making a racket, not alarm calls, and gradually
more and more ravens landed in the tree.  Finally, when it appeared that no
more ravens were around, a final two landed and instantly the racket
stopped.  Not another sound was heard from them.

The chap who witnessed this was quite intrigued by this behaviour and I said
I would see if I could find out why the ravens ceased so suddenly.

Can anyone shed any light on this behaviour please?  

Was the arrival of the final two a signal of some sort? 

Thanks for any information

Happy birding

Marlene.
