This is actually an out-take from our full length documentary "A Year With The Ravens" for the simple fact the movie would be too long! But I think it makes a nice stand alone short. It includes 5 things ravens do that is unique or rare in the rest of the animal kingdom.

#5 Ravens pair up and homestead a farm and stay there working that farm for life.

#4 Ravens pass things beak to claw, and then back again over and over.

#3 Ravens make and mimic more sounds than any other animal in the kingdom. (Lyre Birds and parrots can also mimic anything and everything, but it seems ravens (in my experience and from recordings and videos I've been exposed to) tend to actually use a wider range of sounds.

#2 Ravens have a special dive I call "the bomb" that they do and repeat over and over again. I haven't seen this dive repeated over and over agin by any other bird. (Yes, I know falcons stoop, but it's done specifically to hunt and kill, and it is a little different from the dive the ravens do.)

#1 Ravens meet, with what seems to be, just a reason to play!
