So lucky! There are these huuuuge ravens that made a nest in the church right around the corner from where I live and I really want one.

I would enjoy seeing some Ravens, they are beautiful, intellegent, and clever birds.
About having a crow or a raven as a pet. They are wonderful, intellegent creatures. But remember, they can't live in a cage! They distroy stuff for fun, hide food in bad places(how about the furnace) tear sheetrock off the walls, shredd laundry, and squirt poop everywhere-and constantly. And while it is legal to own a crow here where I live-it might not be legal where you are.
I love my Dumbledore, and thank you for the wonderful comment
I am glad that you enjoyed my Dumbledores photos! I might take some more-If Dumble will allow it(he hates cameras!) thanks again, from tarp?Kathryn

I love watching birds. The crows are fun because they are always up to some mischief

You know I told you before that I do not like birds, right? I'm actually afraid of them 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oops. I forgot that you don't like birds. I understand, we all have our phobias.
No, Dumble was thinking about pecking the camera-and not a little go away warning peck either. He has also decided that his tiny vitamin bottle is his enemy-and attacks it every chance he gets-it actually very funny to watch-but I have to make Dumble stop, or he will poke a hole in the bottle.
Dumble though is really very sweet, and gentle. Strange and fickle-but sweet!

I am mad at Dumbledore right now. I unloaded a basket of whites to hang on the clothes line. I left the basket on my laundry room floor for a little while, until it wasn't so hot-came back and noticed a bunch of little threads on the floor-but it didn't register in my mind what those threads were-went outside to hang my laundry-picked up a white t-shirt with a nasty splotch on it-Dumble snuck in to the laundry room, hopped into that basket-tore up some washclothes and crapped in my clean laundry. My husband thought that was really funny-until he saw that t-shirt=his t-shirt! Ha ha ha!

I'd be so furious!
You have so much more patience and

Lol! I can't stay mad at the poop machine for long-all it takes is one."AWwwahhh" and all is forgiven(that means I love you in Dumbledore language!)
He bows down and begs for petting. See? He knows how to butter me up!

You have a real crow as a pet?
Thats unbelievable! I want one too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I have a crow, maybe more of a family member than a pet.
"He" is clever and affectionate, and pretty gentle too. Loves to play, get petted, take baths. And clown around for attention. A true joy to me and my family.
Also fickle, moody, and easy to scare. Dumbles also a destroyer of laundry and a walking crap machine. You can't keep a crow in a cage, they'd beat themselves to death in one. (mine stays on top of a cage-unless he gets on the floor).
Dumble hates strangers and other animals, and attacks cameras!
Otherwise, they are perfect.

Oh my...
Sounds like a real friend!
Is it hard to keep them?
Do he sometimes sits on your shoulder or so? That would be awesome, or is he too scared?
...and why he does hate cameras?
Thanks for the information!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He will sit on my arm, in my lap, get under my feet, sometimes peck at my shoes. If I sit on the floor when the heater is going in the winter-he will crawl underneath me
He has his own toys, and likes it when we pretend to try and take them from him-he even taunts who's playing with him.
He communicates with both body language, and with different sounds.
I think the camera, phone, ect, dislike is jealousy. I am holding something other than him. I don't know for sure
No problem! I like talking about Dumbledore almost as much as I like talking about...oh hell, I like talking about him! LOL!
Thanks for listening-!!!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That sounds so awesome *-*
His behaviour is really cute, but can he be angry sometimes?
Aww... nice
Haha 
You're very welcome!
I really want a crow too, but my parents think that I'm totally crazy. Especially my dad.
(Same thing with lizards and snakes 
I think when I got my first own flat I'll try to get a crow.
They're so beautiful with their shiny black feathers and their overall...blackness?
Anyway, thanks for answering my questions
(And please don't stop talking about him! I want to know more!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think he's awesome.
I got pretty mad at him yesterday when he snuck into my laundry room, hopped into a basket of clean whites, destroyed some towels-while pooping away while he did so!
I couldn't stay mad at him for long though, he knows how to butter me up, a little affection and all is well.
The thing about having a crow-you can't keep them in a cage. I am serious. They'd beat themselves to death in one. If Dumbledore wasn't incapable of surviving outside, I would have released him. He does talk to other crows when he hears them outside.
I like reptiles, insects, just about any animal. My husband though has had enough-lol! He wouldn't even let me have a hairless rat or an Emporor Scorpion!

Hoo... ._.
Nobody can be mad at such a cute crow
Well, I wouldn't keep a bird in a cage. They need to have their freeroam, to fly around 'n stuff.
Can you also speak with him? I mean does he answer you when you say something to you? (My cat does that
Yaaay! I really want a Thorny-Devil. Eventhough they're just small reptiles. But he looks so fascinating.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I talk to Dumbledore all the time. He answers in his own way. The only words he mummbles-and very rarely is :water, and mama.
"he" (Dumble is probably a female!) was cuddling with my husband-when I quitly walked in the room. That made Dumble angry and he started pecking the plate his food goes on-telling me to go away!
Later I went back in to Dumble and said.
There is an old wives tale that says, that if you want a crow to be able to talk (human) to you-you have to split the crows tongue!
Not smart. I believe that someone trying to split my Dumbles tongue would be fatal! lol! Not from a crow flogging either!
Thorny Devils are fascinating. I would be afraid that if I had one, I wouldn't be able to care for it properly and it would die.
I recieved two exotic tree frogs for Christmas one year. A gift I wasn't expecting. And while I am good with animals, sadly the frogs didn't survive very long. The same thing happened with a baby iguana. No more surprise pets for me!

Awww... cute!
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that ._.
Hehe, sounds like she's somewhat envy, huh? ;D
It really makes me smile, when I read this
Noo...! Don't ever harm animals!
Indeed, they are. Ho.. ._.

You know, I wonder how hard it would be to have a small reptile(we have a turtle). If we could keep it warm in the winter? They are fascinating.
Our turtle sort of semi-hybernates during the winter. We build him a big outside enclosure-so in the spring and summer-he lives outside(the turtle).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh..sorry for my late reply!
I never had a reptile or anything like this before (just three cats if that counts
Hehe, a friend of mine has a turtle too. Pretty cute, but I don't think that I like them that much to have them at home.
By the way, I just went outside and saw some bats!
They're sooooo unbelievable cute
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like reptiles. I used to live in Texas when I was a kid, in the country. We sometime found gopher tortoise. They were wonderful! Sadly, I think they are pretty rare now. We also found sliders, musk turtles, soft shell, and box turtles. Snakes, diamondbacks, copperheads, cottonmouths, and lots of non-venomous snakes too. Lots of great lizards, frogs, toads. We were lucky and had a little creek.
San Antonio had lots of great bats.
Here in North West Arkansas, we have lots of wild caves-there used to be lots of bats-but this year-where are they?! I only saw one bat last night(all season-one bat!)-and only two lightening bugs! And come to think of it, only one tiny ring neck snake. It is wierd!

I just saw some in some zoos. Ah, okay. You got more chances to see them there
But I can say that we have bats!

You are fortunate! I love bats, I think they are incredible. I guess the Flying Foxes are my favorites.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, I just saw them one time, yet. I think the last few days it was just too cold for them.
But to see their shilouttes in the red evening sky was just incredibly beautiful.
Ho, Flying Foxes are cute too, but I like bats more.

They are bats, big fruit bats with amazing faces. (Flying Foxes) They are in Australia. I have a great book on bats.

Oh have you already watched Transformers 3?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not yet! But we are going too. My daughters birthday is soon. I think it would be awesome to go see the new transformers movie at Imax, on the big screen-if it is there! It is the movie she wants to see
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ho it's totally worth the money and probably a pretty good present as well!
I don't had the chance to watch it at an IMAX theatre, but the "normal" 3D is amazing. It really was the first time you had some depth of field on the screen.
I really want to watch it again.

We went to Branson, but the Transformers were not showing on the giant screen untli 9:00 at night. We couldn't stay that late, we did get to see the movie though!
Wow! I don't think I've seen a movie to match this one ever! Not even the other Transformer movies were as over the top. The one scene I fussed about was the 'building' scene-I was thinking that everyone would be dead! (I loved it-lol!)
It was also darker when it came to killing humans.
We didn't even see it in 3d! And it was still awesome.
Yes, I want to see it again too!
Best of all, with my new hearing aids, I could actually hear MOST of what said!
What did you think of the new girlfriend?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a pity.
Hehe, well ROTF was really bad. Even as a big TF Fan I can't stand this movie... But the first Movie is a great one!
Yeah, it was a flawless scene! I think the basejumpingscene was great, too and when Megatron shot the Lincoln-Memorial to sit on the throne.
Yeah, especially Laserbeak! The scene where he disguised himself as a pink Bumblebee and killed the whole family was pretty serious.
Ho, if you want to see it again, take the chance and try to watch it in 3D. It's really worth it!
That's really great! I'm glad for you
She was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Mikaela. I can't stand Megan Fox. She doesn't look nice in any way, but Rosie does. And her acting was pretty much a lot better than that of Fox.

Oh man! That tarked me off-lol! Get your metal @ss out of Lincons seat! LOL! *tarp imagines kicking metal groin..then breaks foot..then dies horribly*
What the hell? For a second I forgot that part...I thought you were messing with me! 
Oh yeah, the "looks nice part!" I forgot about the close up panty and boody shot at the beginning! The movie is supposed to be for guys..I keep forgetting that! (not for 43 year old woman and 16 year old girls)
I thought she did a great part as the new heroine, I really didn't think I would.
It was a blast of a movie!
If we get to go again, we want to see the Last Harry Potter movie, Cowboys and Aliens, Captain America and and and..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, that was good :'D
Oh well, I don't care much about those scenes, eventhoug I'm a boy
Hm, I wait for both last HP movies to come out on DVD. I don't care much about Cowboys & Aliens but I really want to watch Captain America. (Yeah, an actual Captain America fan outside the USA! Unbelievable here in germany
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not you mean.
Lazerturd, I mean lazerbeak was mean, nasty, evil. Cool though!
Heh heh. Her little chat with Megatron...that I liked.
I am not so surprised that a guy from Germany would like Capt. America. I have another friend from Germany who didn't care for the Transformer movies much...but can't wait to see Captain America.
As for the Harry Potter movies, I liked most of them. I will see the last one. The only movie that of the HP series that I didn't like was The Half Blood Prince.
I was surprised to see a new Planet of the Apes movie is coming out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, okay. ;D
Yep, evil, indeed. But that's why I like him so much!
Oh yes! But Megatron was somehow a bit... well he hadn't so much screentime and that sucked!
Really? Hm, but the Captain isn't that popular around here, mostly because he is so much of an American guy, I think.
I loooooved the third HP movie. Actually I got the Special DVD right infront of me
Yeah, I watched the trailer some weeks before, but I'm not much into these movies. I haven't watched one of these yet...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lazerbeak!
I can't remember all of those guys names...except Megatron, Bee, and Optimus right now. Heat has fried 'me' brain...
Anyway,,,I haven't seen either the Captain America movienor the Harry Potter movie...no wonder I can't think!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, yeah.
You need to be somekind of into this stuff to know aaaall those names. All the Wreckers had some special names, dunno if they were called by these or not. They also should had a robotic dog called Steeljaw but somehow he was cut out of the script or so.
Oh I have to wait for the Cap some more weeks. I think three more weeks.
And I didn't watch HP neither. Kinda don't interest me o_O

Dumbledore looks like a fun bird. I have a family of ravens near where I work. They are beautiful birds, but they never let anybody get near them. They nest on top of a 7 story building.
How old is Dumbledore? Was he difficult to raise?
Thank you for sharing his foto!

Thanks Richard,
Yes, he is wonderful. I have always loved watching crows, ravens, and jays too.
I did not write down when I got Dumbledore, because I really didn't know if 'he'd' survive. He was hard to save at first, I had to soak on of those frozen egg patties in water, then tear it up and cram those little soggy pieces down his throat(he was near dead and really dehydrated-those egg patties are like sponges). He lived.
Crows fledge before they can fly very well, I am guessing that something got after him while he was on the ground, he was laying in the road(in the country) and before my parents could stop, they drove over Dumble, then got out and picked him up, thinking he was dead. Sorry for the long story! But I wanted you to know that I didn't steal him from his parents.
Oh yeah, I don't know if you can see it, but Dumble has no tail-you probably can see the bump on his head though!
I love to show of photos of my Dumbledore, there are several more in my photos.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for sharing Dumbledore's story. No tail feathers! Wow!
I understand about the fledges. Most of the raven's fledges usually have not survived. Several years ago I managed to catch several owl babys. I have no place to raise them, so, I gave them to a animal rescue group.
I hope Dumbledore will have patience for another foto!

A doe turned up dead near our house this morning. I could not find any real wounds on it. I am afraid that there is a fawn around our house somewhere. That bothers me, it is terribly hot and an orphan fawn will not last long in this heat. I don't want another animal to raise though!
Someone brought me a tawny owl last year after it had bonked into thier car. It was just stunned. It also had an old injury, it was missing an eye. I had them take the owl back where they found it and release it. I had talked with the gamewarden-(it is illegal to keep a bird of prey without a special licence here) about the owls eye. He assured me that it would be fine.
I will sneak up on Dumble and take another photo or so before to long-or distract him with the 'evil telephone!"

I don't know why Dumbledore hates cameras. Dumble also hates my cordless phone, and attacks his grit and vitamin bottles. I think Dumble is jealous of them, thinking they are getting his attention-lol!
Thank you Vanessa

well animals often tend to be jealous and often attack people or objects around us XDD I think it will eventually happen to him XD
