What has been going on with those Ravens???

     I know! I know!  Where have I been?  What have the ravens been doing?  Well not to much, but they are growing and I don't see them much right now.  I do however have a ton of shots and some video for your viewing pleasure.  Demon and the other babies are getting so big.  They are almost as big as George and Gracie.  AND I have been working with Demon!  Demon has been waiting for me every morning for the past week or so and he greets me with hungry crys.  He is very very loud and is the only one who is consistent in talking a lot.  He is still very attached to George and really starts to scream if he loses him.  This morning in fact he answered me every time I hollered his name.  Demon that is.  It will be short lived because they will most likely leave, but for now I 'm having a lot of fun with them.  I also got a baby feather.  I found it last week and I took a pic so you will see that too.  Today Kathy and I went riding and I noticed that Demon was following us from a distance and would scream at different times.  He stopped about a half mile from the farm and turned around.  He is really neat.  He will also circle the barn now when I'm in it and if I don't answer him he will have a fit until I do.  I guess I have been inducted into the raven family as Auntie.  I can walk into the upper cow pasture now and he will be there.  George too.  He still talks to me, but he is so busy with the others and getting food that I won't be able to hang with him again until these babies leave.
     Gracie has been coming to the feeding station more and more.  The babies will try to follow her. But it isn't until George goes that Demon will land at the very top of the birch tree and cry for George to bring him some food.  It has been a pure delight watching these guys.  A little annoying with their noise, but being a mom I have that incredible ability of selective hearing.  Tehe!
     I have been giving them the same food I have all along.  They will eat anything I put out there.  George was extremely happy last week cause he got to eat goolosh all by himself and he made a pig of himself and didn't share any of it with the kids.  Another thing I'm noticing is that they are not taking the eggs right away.  The adults are saving them for themselves and not sharing with the kids.  They will feed the kids everything else, but the eggs.  I also tried putting 3 to 5 eggs out, but it overwhelmed Gracie to much and she thought it was a trap so I'm back to two and they are happy.  I will now show you the photos that I have collected since my last blog.

Here is one of the babies feathers!!!!  See how tiny the shaft is?  I believe by the shape of it that it is the wing feather.

This is Demon.  Look how fluffy his head is.  He is such a baby!!!!

Another Demon pic!

Its a little fuzzy, but that is Demon landing in the tree.

And here is George eating the Goolosh that I made.  He LOVES my pasta dishes!!!!

This video below is of George talking to his family.  I don't know if you can hear them, but every time he talks its because he is answering either his children or Gracie.  They tend to make a square and keep in constant contact with each other.
