I’ve got ~55 ravens near my home that know me very well and always come around for treats (unsalted unroasted cashews). Over the last few seasons I’ve gotten to see a number of fledglings getting trained, gotten to know their various personalities and been fortunate to learn a great deal about them.
They’re amazingly intelligent and very gregarious once they trust you. A particularly brave one will even perch just out of reach and snatch cashews out of the air. Others will hover over me in the breeze asking for treats and catch them as well.
They definitely train you too - they know where I live. If they don’t get fed for a while, they’ll croak their frustrations down my chimney at me.
Amazing birds and I feel very fortunate to have formed some bond with them.
