My wife and I are buying a house, and one of the main things she’s planning is The Unkindness Sanctuary, since there are a ton of ravens in our area.

Fucking English collective nouns. :D
I actually had a raven once, I was so surprised. I was just being followed by Muninn, as normal, saw him, he glid a bit next to me while I was going to the store. Got them a bag full of balls, put it all out there on a field and stayed and watched.
I live in the outskirts of the city, so not too urban, but also not too unurban… There’s places within like 5km I know there’s ravens. But usually they’re not here.
Muninn saw me going to the store, glid aside me, I got them a bag… Oh wait I wrote that earlier.
Anyway that’s when I saw this

The scale isn’t evident from this photo, sorry. But ravens are huge compared to hooded crows which are like twice the size of magpies. Ravens are like 80cm from beak to tail. So many while I was in the army. Gorgeous corvids.
