See that injured raven in the background? Well I have an interesting story to share about it.

I noticed one afternoon that there was a lot of movement in the back yard and upon investigating I found a LOT of ravens. They were all crouding around a smaller juvenile one which appeared to have an injured wing. Often they would come to give food but I found it odd that there were around 9 of these birds in total caring for it. Ravens only have 2 parents right? Well turns out our yard was Currawong territory so they weren't necessarily parenting the injured bird, they were protecting it.

I watched them from afar for a good hour. I didn't want to interfere with nature so I left them be.

This carried on for a while until I didn't see the ravens or the young injured one anymore. We moved out not long after as well. However upon returning to the area and driving down our old street a good 6 months later I saw a raven. One with a slightly off wing. It could fly but not all that well.That certainly made me smile. Ravens are intelligent and caring birds I have to say.
