Apparently, love is in the air. I am talking literally here. While driving to town, a pair of ravens launched from a cottonwood tree in front of me. The birds vaulted across the road and then, almost immediately, one of them landed at the very top of a pine tree. The second bird then dropped directly onto the first one and the pair engaged in raucous sex right there in front of me.
That’s
a first for me, but I must say, watching ravens do their business is not
particularly satisfying.
On
the less savage side, ravens are a generally monogamous. Most pairs bond for life. Additionally, both the male and female share
in feeding their brood.
