42 Breeding Results — Boyers House Aviaries, 1914. 
Ravens agree well together as a rule, but from 
experience it is fatal to put young birds with old ones. Ther© 
ensues an immediate attack if that is done, the older bird doin^^ 
his level best to pull the youngster's head off. 
In conclusion, if anybody desires to possess an intensely 
interesting intelligent and amusing pet, I do not think he can 
do better than obtain a Raven. They are very hardy and 
respond to care and kindness by showing great affection. One 
can overlook and forgive any little delinquencies they may 
perpetrate occasionally. 
The photograph illustrating this account shows the 
Raven in possession of a garden seat, which he allowed no 
other bird to approach.
