Australian Raven Mischief

At the end of his 12 th week since being found Marcel still comes looking for human company and its has been noted that it is not always about stuffing his face or getting that little extra to eat,something that has not come from a rubbish bin or a lost,loved pet that becomes roadkill, squashed beyond any chance of recognition on some road.on this occasion its a bit of both that he is chasing along with a tad of raven mischief added where Marcel tries to drag the phone off,fortunately its way too heavy for him at this time however i have no doubt that this will not be the case after another few months pass.he uses his beak to find the tiny morsels of liver left behind on the chopstick & although he starts out looking like he my need glasses,especially when his beak goes between the two sticks totally missing the pieces on offer. Marcel was found on the ground in the last week of july after a very stormy night,after ringing a few places i was instructed to take him to specific vet surgery where i was advised that he was a raven,healthy,unlikely to have fallen to ground & he was a fledgling & " should be returned to where he was found his parents will look after him ". unfortunately this was not the case and it was 4/5 days before the parents came near him,he also had a talon missing from a rear toe that became quite swollen & infected in the weeks that followed needing treatment,it was paw paw ointment that cleared it up after having no success with other conventional treatments.Although the only sure fire way to accurately identify the gender of a raven is by blood/dna test Marcel has been declared a male for a number of reasons with the primary one coming from my 15 yr old daughter who has declared that " that bird has to be a male.because its just so annoying " fortunately she avoids Marcel otherwise he might think his name is/was " stupid bird " admittedly the poor kid was swooped by a maggie as a five year old & it appears that it has left her quite scarred.
