Black birds as pets Anonymous
What does /an/ think of black birds as a pet? It seems like a good choice, being incredibly intelligent animals.

Do you mean a raven? I'd love to have a raven as a pet, but I think they're illegal.

I'd want a crow, but they all come to my house at the same time every day from all over town so I guess I kind of own three dozen of them.

I remember hearing a story about an old English/Irish/Scottish woman who had a pair of crows as pets. They'd mimic the sound that the geese made at the nearby pond to mess with the dogs the lady also kept. Apparently chasing geese around was a favorite past-time for the dogs and whenever they heard them they'd shoot out the door.

Yeah, I meant it as a general term but mostly Ravens. They are illegal, but I'm fairly certain all they do is take it away from you and maybe give a small fine.

I've heard of that story, it was a magpie, actually.

I never liked birds for pets. I guess I don't really have a reason. Maybe its just because you can't very easily cuddle with them? Not to mention the fact that, even if you got a parrot and trained it well, it still might bite you someday. I just don't trust them. They bore me. And you can't do a whole lot with a bird.

My Dad had two crows as pets when he was a kid. One of them drowned in his swimming pool. :(

If you train a dog, it might bite you someday too.

Birds are terrible pets. You cant get them neutered so once they hit puberty they turn into complete shit bags. Not to mention they live longer than you do depending on the bird (parrots anyways)
They are smart and will despise you for keeping them cooped up in a cage and they require more attention than a dog only they are less fun.

Yeah, birds are one of those animals that are too smart to be happily kept as a pet without a REALLY dedicated owner.

Ravens are a type of crow. They fall under the genus Corvus which is the genus all crows belong to.

therefore, your logic fails

The more intelligent an animal, the less suitable it is as a pet. Most monkeys and the larger parrots fall in this category, as they take far to much time and attention for the average person to maintain as a healthy, happy pet. If you have the time and experience to take care of what is essentially a permanent three-year-old and take care of it well, then by all means. Otherwise, get a parakeet.

Black birds and crows aren't even in the same family, and I'm assuming you didn't just mean any bird that's black.

the difference is that ravens can talk and appear predominately in Victorian literature.

Crows, meanwhile, are predominately metaphorical creatures that occasional appear in film but have been declining in popularity.

Just a little information about ravens and crows /an/on might find interesting. They are a member of order Flybirdia. These are the most common bird group. They are found in the air, although one occasionally sees them on the ground due to a frequently occurring medical condition generally of brief duration known as wing cramp or pterostasis, leading them to be misclassified as a Tree Bird (Arboravia) or a Ground Bird (Terrabirdia). If this eventuation is thought likely, a generally failsafe test is to throw the suspected air bird upwards and watch its movements carefully: if it remains in the air habitat, then one can safely assume that it is a bona fide air bird.
