I went to a petting zoo with the kids the other day. There was a big ass Raven in a cage. He was sticking a piece of cardboard out of the fence, offering it to me. I went to take it, and he dropped it with the quickness and bit me. He quickly found another piece of cardboard and did the stuck it through the fence again. Sure enough, I went for it, and he tried to bite me. They are definitely intelligent creatures.

Reply to TIL Charles Dickens had a talking pet raven named Grip, who terrorized his dog, buried valuables in the yard, and died eating "a pound or two" of lead paint. As a character in one of his novels, Grip is believed to have inspired Poe's famous poem, and is on display in a Philadelphia public library by jableshables
