The Raven Works For Tips


There is a remarkable World Bird Sanctuary on the outskirts of our area. They always bring some flying wonders to Earth Day. Here we have a species of raven that is trained to take money from people's hands and drop it in the donation box. It does not get a percentage of the take. Pretty cool.

It can also fly around a larger area, take aluminum cans from people and drop them in a recycling bin. We'll get to that.

Thanks! Here's where I tell you about one of my favourite books, "The Mind of a Raven" by Berndt Heinrich. You can read about the amazing ways of these birds in nature and you'll love reading about a special bird he calls "Einstein of Ravens,"

Quite a bird! I've not seen ones with a white neck like that here.
