thing is, Steller's wingspan does not let it fly as swift as to capture the raven ... replace the sea eagles with secretary birds or harpy eagles and there's a whole different story here
If you've never watched ravens and crows, you're missing out. Their level of intelligence is amazing. They troll, they sing, they can talk, mimick, use tools, you name it.
@@mysterylovescompany2657 crows and ravens supposedly have the approximate intelligence of a 7 year old human - that's by far superior to a human toddler!! Human toddlers are actually dumber than most grown up mammels! Weird that some humans eat non human mammel meat but not toddlers.. But I guess toddlers always have grown up humans that are attached to them and defend them from hungry carnivoric humans.
If you watch from 1:20, you see that there was actually a bird in the sky that both the eagle and Raven saw, being on the ground is dangerous for birds, including raptors, since they're open to attack from above. They were both just quickly assessing if whatever was flying overhead was a threat.
@@sunnyday6679 the raven didn't show any sign of distress, besides the fact that both are well aware that they're covered by a net. The raven looked forward while making the stance, even slightly dropping his wings a little to look like an eagle. If he actually wanted to check the surroundings he would have looked upwards like the eagle did. The raven in fact repeats the stance at 1:38.
They like performing for people. I saw a crow dropping a paper cup on dozing ducks for kicks, and he would do a little dance and look at me every time he did it.
@@ReiAnikaAyanami *them. If they could talk, they'd f*ckin' tell you straight! 😆😅 I'll be their voice haha. Sick of Humans referring to other animals as IT or THAT. There's a person in there, not a Human one, but they're definitely sentient and individual. Majority of people who watch videos like this claim to have such an appreciation for such animals, yet often call them it, rather than they. I mean, if the people who actually like these animals can't see them as individuals, then people who don't care have no bloody hope. It' ain't hard to break away from tunnel visioned speciesism. People should try it, might surprise themselves 😜
Lol facts. We have two eagles at my job that sit on the tall lights we have. The seagulls and pigeons are scared and keep away. Then here comes the crows doing fly bys past the lights. Lol swooping in all close then jetting out.
2:45 Raven: (cluck-cluck-cluck) "ooOOOooo, look at me, I'm a pretty eagle, look how big I am, look at my pretty, pretty feathers" Stellar: "will you FUCK OFF!?!"
This is my favourite video ever. A single raven just bullying a giant for fun. They even do this to bears, wolves, coyotes and other predators. There is nothing to gain. It's the pure pleasure of messing with somebody and getting away with it. I take care of a couple of ravens and this is what i have to deal with every day. They are such annoying assholes, but i love them. So intelligent and fascinating.
I have a family of crows that lives on my block. They started to recognize me after I got peanuts and started to regularly feed them. Started off pretty innocent, they'd drop off things like bottlecaps at my doorstep as a thank you. Then once they started to learn my twice-weekly walk to the store, they began to follow me. What I believe is the youngest has begun to swoop down and tug at my hair while I'm walking. Never actually hurt, but it seems that crow knows that it bothers me, and he must've found it pretty funny, because now all 3 of them will do it. Usually once or twice per walk, but it's just enough to remind me how smart they are and what little deviants they can be lol. To this day I still receive little gifts after feeding them :)
Get a big barrel full of peanuts and train them to recognize that money is more valuable by giving the ones who give you dollars 3 peanuts instead of one
@@sparkyentertainmentstudios2380 that's honestly genius, get a black cloak and become a b-rate comic book villain, call yourself "cash corvid" or something
I love just how incredulous/exasperated the eagle looks throughout this... his entire demeanor just seems to say- "bruh, _seriously,_ you REALLY want this smoke..?!"
I love how intelligent corvids are. They are smart enough to be aware of how annoying they can be and lean into it. My local crows love to play pranks on me, demonstrating they have the ability to strategize and understand humor. They love me though, and only mess with me because they are bored. They mean no harm.
Feed them & recruit a might goth birb army. 😉 I have been working with a family of local magpies for a few weeks & it's at the point where they bring me presents (so far; a coin, a flower, a bead, some poor neighbour's garden hose attachment...the other day 1 of them literally turned to the 1 next to it, pulled out a feather from the poor guy & then dropped it in front of me) + chase off others if they try to swoop me.
@@waxwinged_hound so the crows found out I don't like to see dead birds at my park. One time they started screaming on the other side of the park in the middle of me feeding them. They did this for 5 minutes so I went to go see what they were screaming about. I saw a tiny black mass and thought "Oh no its a dead crow" and was about to get upset... But it was a shoe. Sometimes they like to repeatedly bash my roof with their beaks randomly throughout the day. Not so I can come to see them. Apparently just because. Recently they have been screaming in unison until I come out to see them, then they act like nothing happened. Most often they will pretend to not want to be fed and completely ignore me on purpose, only to then act up the second I attempt to leave. You know. Stuff that little kids would do.
I love the timing of the raven being shaken to the ground and then just continuing to taunt the Eagle out of frame. Perfect timing. Master comedian. 10/10
I realise that it’s just how birds stand, but I like how at 3:08 it seems like it’s even mimicking the stance of the eagle. Like: “oooh look at me I’m an eagle and I sound like this”
The Steller's Eagle is a fish eagle like the Bald Eagle and has no interest in eating that big nasty old raven. Which the raven, being at least as intelligent as a dog, knows full well, and is why he's pushing his luck. Corvids don't like birds of prey - they get eaten by them, either as juveniles or adults. So they usually form big mobs and pester the hell out of them during the day when they are trying to sleep. It's an evolutionary instinct for them to not tolerate any bigger predators in their zone. I have seen lots of smaller birds do this too. It's counter-intuitive, but it works, so evolution has allowed for it.
Yes, I have seen Corvids at work and tormenting Bald Eagles. Not just ravens but other members of the Corvidae family - Crows, Blue Jays, Magpies, Blackbirds (not sure if the latter are part of the same family) ...@@jasoncarswell7458
whats funny is that the raven has learned to mimic a camera shutter noise aswell so its clearly doing this regularly enough to attract a crowd and Im here for it
This comment needs to be at the top! It's really sad to see these big beautiful birds stuck in (such) a (tiny) cage with nothing to do except get on each other's nerves, and everyone thinks it's funny. Tragic.
Raven doesn't have a time out - they are crazy by nature. Raven is bored and/or showing off to the crowd by annoying the Eagle. Eagle seemed pretty chill for what is a fearsome bird. Great video.
The eagle knows it's a waste of time to bother, with corvids. Being smaller, they have more manoueuvrability - the eagle is heavy (on average 8 kilograms or more). They do get annoyed, though :)
Eagle: "I came out here to have a good time and I honestly feel so attacked right now" Raven: "I came out here to attack people and I'm honestly having a great time!"
Amazing video and excellent filming! It further demonstrates the tenacity of corvids. Ravens are very clever, absolutely fearless and seem keen on either playing with, pranking or pestering other birds of prey. It looks like the eagle lowered its head several times in a sign of submission (likely trying to say 'please stop I've had enough already'). LOL
@@jayhache5609 if ravens are anything like blue jays then theyre super agile when theyre flying, if it wanted to but i dont think the ravens would give it a chance, even when messing with him like this
@@jayhache5609 with risk of getting an unnecessary injury from the raven (who, I should remind, very much enjoy the prospect of eye-pecking) in the process, which even most predators tend to avoid doing to prevent the chance of getting an infected wound (yes it’s in captivity but it’s genetic knowledge/survival instinct). Also, large animals (relative) tend to be slower most of the time and very conservative of energy (see: deep sea gigantism), so I think the eagle just knows it’s not worth it and will only go as far as faking attacks. I mean, even huge predators like bears (omnivores technically but still) do this. If a bear charges you in the wilderness, almost all of the time it’s a feign charge and if you stand your ground they will stop before you and mope away
@@carnictus23 that all depends on the bear. Black bears. Yes absoutly. They are the bear equivalant of chiwawas and they know it. Brown bears are hit or miss. Polar bears(and there hyrbid half brown bear offspring)? Your gonna die.
It’s not captive, the raven, it can fit through the bars. In the Netherlands we don’t keep ravens in the same cage as an eagle. We don’t even lock ravens up because they’re wild and very common.
I love how annoyed the eagle is getting. It’s like he’s not used to something half his size messing with him, so he just doesn’t really know how to react.
@@zermoonshahzar3767 birds reach their full size by the time they fully develop flight and leave the nest. juvenile eagles are just as big as full adults, the main difference is coloration and temperament.
If eagle batman,so raven like joker. But that mythical arturs coat of arms -smaler crows-coughs(they are two sorts-yelow and red billed) Raven too big for mythical artur
By the way in last decade of 20th century in Lithuania was monthly journal of jokes:funny stories and pictures-named "kranklys"-in english means :raven)))
In far northern Canada, I would see a group of approximately 15 ravens that would stand on the beach with a HUGE bald eagle in the middle of all of them. They were all evenly spaced out, about 4 feet apart. Every day at dawn, like they met for some type of government meeting. They all faced the exact same direction too. I wish I took more than a mental picture.
You can tell there’s so much going on in that Raven brain! Went to Yellowstone over the summer had a great experience with the Raven! Set smart animals.
Most people here see this as being harmless fun by the Raven, and at first so did I. But, if you watch more closely, and as another comment I read pointed out, the Raven is trying to remove/damage the Eagles flight feathers, which would render it unable to fly and starve in the wild. 2:15 the Raven actually takes a large chunk off the tip of one of his flight feathers. Later on the ground he has a go at the tail flight feathers too, Ravens are intelligent but they are also ruthless.
A bird bleed to death if a new feather is broken. The blood comes out of the broken feather, dripping, dripping, because the feather is hallow. And there is no way to stop the bleeding because it’s a hallow feather, not a piece of flesh that will form a clot. You have to immediately pull the whole feather out to stop the blood loss.
Just comparing the size of that raven to the eagle, that raven really is playing it risky going after the eagle. Love the bird calls and the beak clicking sounds.
This is that situation when a huge guy, used to work with heavy stuff, that is in a bar just for some cold beers and watch some sport on tv and there is a small brave guy that had more beers than he should and wants to test his bravery...
Awww !!!! Ravens and crows are such amazing & fascinating birds. He's just playing around with the stellar's eagle. Be careful my favorite bird, your opponent is considerably larger, more powerful, and could be somewhat dangerous to you. 😁😁 Love this video !! ❤❤ THANKS FOR POSTING.
Ravens are actually amazing birds. Their level of intelligence is almost frightening. If anything ever happened to humans, it would be an all out battle between Squid and Ravens for control of the Earth.
