Keeping A Raven As A Pet

Introduction

If you’re considering taking a raven into your home, you might be wondering: can they really understand my speech? How long will they live for? What kind of food do I feed them? The answers to these questions, and many more, can be found in this handy guide to pet ravens.

Can a baby raven understand my speech?

While it may be hard to believe, ravens have an amazing ability to mimic sounds. Not only will a baby raven learn your name and mimic your speech, but they can also be taught to imitate other people’s voices. They are capable of imitating the sound of a phone ringing, the sound of a car horn honking and even human laughter. Most importantly, they love learning new words and practicing them over and over again until they get it right!

A young raven will most likely respond best if you use their own language with them. This means that if you are raising a hand-fed or imprinted baby bird then you should continue using this technique with them as an adult bird too! If however this isn’t possible then don’t worry; there are still plenty of things that can be done which will help strengthen their bond with humans while also teaching them new tricks along the way!

What kind of food do I feed it?

Ravens are omnivorous and will eat almost anything. They have been known to eat small rodents, animals that have been killed by other predators, birds, insects and even their own young. They will also scavenge for food and can be seen feeding on carrion.

Your raven should be fed dog food or cat food every day as a staple diet to provide the vitamins and minerals it needs to remain healthy. This can be supplemented with cooked meats such as chicken or beef (make sure they are cooked thoroughly before giving them to your pet). You may choose to add some bird seed too if you wish but this is not necessary in order for the raven’s health needs to be met

How do I train a raven?

To train a raven, you’ll need to start with basic commands. You can teach it to sit, stay and walk on a leash. The most important thing to remember is that with ravens, patience is key. They’re not going to pick up the training right away so you’ll have to be consistent with your interactions and remain firm. Also remember that this is an intelligent bird so if you want it to listen you have to speak clearly and make eye contact with them when giving orders or teaching them something new

How long does a raven live for?

You may be wondering how long a raven would live for. Surprisingly, this is not an easy answer to give.

Ravens are long-lived birds and can easily reach the age of 15 years old. The oldest known living raven was named Grandpa by zookeepers at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo and lived to be 39 years old! This is over twice as long as most people in the United States live (79 years on average).

If you want a pet that will stick around for many years to come, then you should consider getting yourself a pet raven!

How can I keep it entertained?

Keeping a raven as a pet is not as difficult as you might think, but it does require some effort from you. The first thing to keep in mind when choosing a bird is its personality; some ravens are friendlier than others. In terms of keeping your bird happy and entertained, there are various things that can be done. Providing toys and treats will keep your bird busy while teaching them how to play games with you. Taking them outside regularly so they can be exposed to the sun and get exercise will also help relieve boredom in captivity. It’s important that they have somewhere safe where they can perch or fly freely without being confined within the house all day long!

What are the laws around keeping a raven as a pet?

Check your local laws first.

In many states, it’s legal to keep a raven as a pet. However, there are some restrictions in place to protect the population of ravens and other birds in those areas. Check with your state’s wildlife department or Fish and Game Commission (if applicable) for more information on what kind of permits you’ll need and where you can obtain them.
