    Default pet bird

    This lady has a pet raven named Sam. She has numerous videos about him. This one really showcases his intelligence. Ravens have intelligence ranked on a par with chimps and dolphins and can learn words better than parrots. I am pretty certain I would have a hard time coping with a pet that I constantly had to out think.

    Great thing about them big birds as pets as they serve another purpose as well, if hungry ( and plenty of stuffing, stove top I imagine, the bird isn't that big ) it could put food on the table.

    Seriously I had a issue today that made me think, I was tooling down the highway running around 65 with a Brother riding along side me and a Hawk swooped down not 50 yards in front of me to pick up road kill, as I got close he started to fly but what ever he had must of been heavy ( and tasty cause he wasn't letting go ) well I got within 5 feet of him and I drifted left as did he, I drifted right as did he and then as I finally squeaked by him ( he couldn't of been 2 feet from me ) I happened to look in my right mirror and a Hurst had come out of nowhere and was driving behind my Bro, I thought man, is this some kind of sign.

    Oh yeah, Raven's are smart as hell (unless from Baltimore). I want a Macaw, or a smaller Conure, but birdies are expensive!!

    Here's what I want, a Blue Macaw:

    “You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
