Fable the Raven | Enrichment Puzzles, Colours & Conversation

As the weather is absolutely rubbish at the moment I thought it would be a great chance to share some of the enrichment I do with my raven.

First we try two new puzzles she's never seen before - of which she solves more quickly than any of my previous birds. Then we try out some colour selection and have a bit of a conversation!

**For those of you who have questions about why I keep birds...**

I am a falconer. All of my birds are captive bred, not taken from wild. They free fly on a daily basis. And my birds of prey hunt with me too.

The bars on her aviary are to stop her climbing. If I was to use square mesh she would climb up and push her lovely wing and tail feathers through the wire and break/damage them. Bars allow her to see out (she likes to stick her head out to see what I'm doing) but keeps her in good condition. She free flies too, however sometimes when I open the doors of her aviary she can't be bothered to go out. Ravens like what they know and to her, her aviary is her territory and safe space!

Our falconry birds have long lifespans compared to wild birds because we are able to give them a good diet everyday, vet care if ever needed, and plenty of free flying, whilst helping them avoid dangers their wild counterparts would come across.

Around 80% of wild birds of prey will not survive beyond a year old, and the average lifespan is around 3 years. Our captive bred birds can live well into their 30s and 40s, sometimes longer. My oldest bird is 33, and is expected to live around 40 years.

Falconry techniques allow us to successfully rescue injured wild birds of prey and release them as strong, fit individuals. Falconers spend a lot of time working with wild bird of prey projects conserving some very endangered species.
