        There were three ravens in my yard when I went out to the mailbox today. No idea what they were doing, and they flew off before I could even get my phone, but I was shocked to see these animals I’d only ever seen in photos before. I always thought ravens were small, but these things were each the size of a football before they even opened their wings.

            This is a pretty tame wild animal encounter but I’m gradually rescuing pictures from Photobucket and found my trip to the Petrified Forest from a few years back, where I met this handsome creature.

            The pics don’t convey how BIG ravens are in a way I was not prepared for, but it was a kindly raven. It was clearly used to people and I think was angling for me to feed it. It had a business.

            I want something else to get me through this
            Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
            I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

                    Not the greatest shots because despite being MONSTERS they terrify super easily

                    I think it’s been eating my hibiscus. I tried to get better shots when it moved to the pool AND IT HAD A BUDDY but they ran away as soon as I raised my phone.

                    she/her, them/they - not super particular

                    I have been here the whole time

                            Ravens in the UK typically have a wingspan of up to four feet. They are not small birds by any stretch, and it’s only the size that marks them out from the other all-black birds. We had some in our corner of Wales - the only birds that were bigger were European buzzards and red kites, since we didn’t have eagles.

                            tl;dr: Ravens are big.

                              @Snackness I think we need to call in @hellfrog to tell us everything we need to know about smolfrog.
