Description This is the Raven that I caught earlier today. At first I thought s/he was shot, but when I looked closer at him/her, and had help from the Veterinary clinic, it turns out that her/his wing was actually broken. By what or who I can only assume. But I would guess s/he lost a fight with another Raven, hit a house, or perhaps took a landing wrong.

Overall s/he was pretty docile considering s/he was a wild animal. S/he did not try to attack me or harm me after catching it, and interestingly did not 'caw' or shrill when I approached it.

S/he was definitely scared so I did back off when I got him/her into the garage, I got her some water and food (a banana and some corn chips).

The Raven was really big, and very cautious. Even as I held it. Those are my hands covered in gloves. It was interesting because when I picked it up the first time (without gloves) it did not attack me. And a bunch of Ravens, probably from the same flock, surrounded me and 'cawed' lightly. Perhaps they were angry, perhaps they were curious...

oh uhh.. Its a Raven! They eat everything! I even gave him some meat later and s/he chewed on that for awile until s/he was done! 

Plus... have you ever seen a raven eat corn? Its pretty much their favorite food. That statement is obviously bias and is based on nothing. But I have seen wild ravens rip into my trash, and they always go after the corn stocks first.

You implying Ravens!? I am deeply offended! (I am kidding) I assume you mean pigeons. Yeah we got those too. But they stay to the cities. They can be really bad sometimes.

Yes... they enjoy the pooping.

It's even a part of their defense mechanism. So most they can be really messy.
