I’m new to this, this is my first post. I live in California and I have always been intrigued by birds. I am especially drawn to Ravens. I had an incredible experience the other day, which prompted me to seek out this forum with fellow bird lovers. So here is what I saw...
I was standing outside and out of the corner of my eye I saw a couple of Ravens flying close to me but up above. So I looked up and I saw the one Raven had something that looked like a large seed in its beak. It was a little smaller than a ping pong ball. So it was flying through the air with it, and it let go of the seed mid-flight and swooped down the catch it. Then, it threw the seed up in the air, and flew up to catch it. It was playing in the air!!! It was like he was showing off and the other Raven was flying next to him trying to get the seed!
It was honestly the coolest thing I have ever seen. I had no idea that Ravens played like that, it looked like it was for pure entertainment. I’m wondering if there are other people in here who are interested in the behavior or Ravens, and if they can tell me if this is a common behavior, or did I see something super rare. Thanks for reading!
