RAVEN WISDOM: Insights on the Acumen of Some Birds IMAGE: A raven haired nude woman and dark raven soaring above some mesh Ellesha: Aren't we pretty much the same as ravens? Andrei: How so? Ellesha: Haven't you observed ravens closely? They are basically scavengers. Most of us are also opportunistic scavengers. Andrei: (shrugging his shoulders) What's wrong with that? Ellesha: I'm not moralizing - just observing. Notice how they deal with weaker birds, then compare that to their behavior when stronger animals approach. Andrei: Okay - they know when to use their beaks and when flap their wings. Ellesha: (nodding) Perhaps we need to learn the same. ===================================================================================== from How Weird: Out of the Box of Expectations by T Newfields Summary: Some thoughts about the similarities between crows and humans.
