Next door's cat got it. It has an injured (not broken) wing. It's going to the vets in the morning.

It needs a name. Ideas please.

Nevermore Grin

I need more food. Could someone please tell Sarah that I eat anything. Not just boring dog food.

I was at the tower of london on Friday. I saw the Ravens. They are huge

At first glance I thought it was a dog running across the lawn. Blush

Its shoulders were massive!

God I waaaant one!

Hope he recovers well. Looks like could be fun.

He's smart. If I give him wire he will steal my alarm clock and make a bloody bomb.

He's learnt to rattle the cage Confused

I thought about sending a link about making a bomb. Then I thought against it. Smile

I will let someone else do it.

Can I be the first to say that I read the thread title and thought "You have a utility room?!"

Please don't Sun. He is already settled in and showing signs of megalomania.

My jealousy is growing in leaps and bounds. When I was at primary school I loved the stories of the Norse gods who had pet ravens as messengers; they're such mythic and magical beasts. You'll have Mortimer perching on your shoulder soon like a Philip Pullman daemon, croaking wisely while you feed him eggs & dogfood.
If he disappears, I've stolen him.

How fab.

CelebratedMonkey · 14/06/2011 22:09

Jealous - he sounds far more intelligent than my hamster :D

Taghain · 14/06/2011 22:10

They're magic; he'd find his way home again.

I just love the way they tumble about the sky above the Welsh hills in the courting season and the deep "Ark" when calling to each other. And they grow BIG.

Beamur · 14/06/2011 22:11

They do, Ravens are huge.

rachaelsara · 14/06/2011 22:11

He's rather nice, sat on my finger and ate some mince - the vet or the bird????

Good. Wales is a very, very long way from me.

Taghain · 14/06/2011 22:20

Yes I know, but thievery's not my style anyway.
Perhaps I could steal a pocket-sized jackdaw instead; they're supposed to be intelligent & tameable too.

He's only a baby, he's a little bit bigger than a pigeon atm. Tag just put the word out that you want one, someone will get one.

Sarah: I am so Envy

Mortimer: If you get bored with the trough over there, I make a mean shepherd's pie.

onclefestere · 15/06/2011 14:26

oh what was the crow called in Noggin the Nog - GRACULUS, that's it Grin
