Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore...

@SW-User One of my favorites. Crows and ravens are my favorite birds that are not of prey.

@BlueMetalChick they are as magestic as eagles, falcons, and hawks but more mysterious

@SW-User They can talk, did you know that? I had no idea until recently.

@BlueMetalChick for reals? No, I did not know that! Very very cool..
Wonder if there's YouTube vids with people that's talking with them?

@SW-User In fact, here's one of someone who taught his raven how to say "Nevermore". Well...sorta. It's also randomly saying "wocka wocka wocka."

@BlueMetalChick omg... I'll watch it when I get home and have a better signal!!

@SW-User It's pretty funny, because the guy who taught it to say that didn't realize the raven will just copy whatever he says. So instead of just repeating the word "nevermore" to him, he actually has been saying to it "say nevermore". So the raven is repeating "Say nevermore!" It sounds pretty funny.

@BlueMetalChick lmao!! That's so awesome... Animals are smarter than they're often given credit for

@BlueMetalChick omg that was awesome!! Freaking uncanny the voice replication there.. That cat wanted in on it too!! Lol
