Strange News: Ravens can talk

This is Mischief the White-Necked Raven. These ravens are found throughout eastern and southern Africa, and are common near human habitation. Like all members of the Corvidae family, ravens are extremely intelligent. They use tools to get food if necessary, and can even mimic human speech! Cool facts about White-Necked Ravens: Their main diet is fruit, insects, and small reptiles, but if they find a small tortoise to eat, they will lift it up and drop it to the ground to break the shell. Ravens are some of the smartest of all animals. Since they are very social by nature, ravens are also some of the most playful of birds. Ravens display a strange behavior in the wild called “anting”. They roll around on anthills, let the ants crawl all over them, and then they chew up the ants and rub them through their feathers. Scientists are unsure why they do this.

    I love Ravens, Crows:) My late aunt and uncle raised baby crows and ravens.
    These birds were and remain wild but they look to my aunt and uncle
    like parents. The crows would speak saying hi to anyone who would visit.

    Growing up we had a pet crow named Poe.
    He was free during the day and caged a night.
    During the day he would steel from neighbors.
    Every so often my parents would have cocktail party and lay out Poe’s swag.
    He also loved water. ?

    We feed wild birds quite a bit and most of the time it is just the usual backyard birds who visit but occasionally we get some strange ones like the crow who thought he was a Turkey. He would sit in the tree gobbling like a Turkey. I used to go out looking for a Turkey until I finally figured out who the sound was coming from. He didn’t fit on any of the feeders so he would wait for the other birds to spill some seed and then come down and eat the seed off the ground.

    Hugin & Munin were the Ravens who flew out of Asgard each morning too collect the News for Odin. So Imagine that ? A Trained News Service that flies to Your Shoulders every Day to whisper the Daily Events on Earth into your Ear would be pretty Cool i guess ?
    And even for the Record ……. Even though I was a Devout Unbeliever since 1988. I was always in the Understanding that the Norse Pantheon was only a Story of ” Mighty Men of Old , with their Stories of Great Renown ” .
    Since I had that Crazy Dream I know now they fit the Christian Narrative as the Nephilim.

    Ragnarock has already Happened. ( The end of the last Age ) After it had been Fought on the Vigard Plain , which was locted on an Island Continent. ( I will venture a Guess at Antartica ) The same as Atlantis ( I also assume ) Was that also where the Garden of Eden was origanally Located ? I guess we will have to wait for the Ice to melt ?

    And I also wonder if Odin still has those Ravins ? ( For I am sure he is still chained like the rest of Them ? )
