Bu fotoğrafımı başka bir siteye yükleyip , kuşun sol kanadındaki fazla hareket yüzünden içime sinmeyince silmiştim , ancak o esnada eleştiri yazan Kemal (sakaladam ) ve Volkan ( volkan - innadagavida ) dan özür diler , kendilerine teşekkür ederim .

Arkadaşlar , FK deki fotoğrafı silme işlemi yaptım ama
ilginç bir şekilde silinmemiş ?
Bu arada Kemal yerine de Salih yazmışım ! Benim artık Baston satın alma zamanım gelmiş herhalde :)



*** Raven Intelligence :

Common Ravens have among the largest brains of any bird species. Specifically, their hyperpallium is large (See avian pallium). For an avian, they display ability in problem solving, as well as other cognitive processes such as imitation and insight.

One experiment designed to evaluate insight and problem-solving ability involved a piece of meat attached to a string hanging from a perch. To reach the food, the bird needed to stand on the perch, pull the string up a little at a time, and step on the loops to gradually shorten the string. Four of five Common Ravens eventually succeeded, and "the transition from no success (ignoring the food or merely yanking at the string) to constant reliable access (pulling up the meat) occurred with no demonstrable trial-and-error learning".

Common Ravens have been observed to manipulate others into doing work for them, such as by calling wolves and coyotes to the site of dead animals. The canines open the carcass, making it more accessible to the birds. They watch where other Common Ravens bury their food and remember the locations of each other's food caches, so they can steal from them. This type of theft occurs so regularly that Common Ravens will fly extra distances from a food source to find better hiding places for food. They have also been observed pretending to make a cache without actually depositing the food, presumably to confuse onlookers.

One theory is that they hoard shiny objects to impress other ravens. Other research indicates that juveniles are deeply curious about all new things, and that Common Ravens retain an attraction to bright, round objects based on their similarity to bird eggs. Mature birds lose their intense interest in the unusual, and become highly neophobic.

In recent years, biologists have begun to recognize that birds engage in play. Juvenile Common Ravens are among the most playful of bird species. They have been observed to slide down snowbanks, apparently purely for fun. They even engage in games with other species, such as playing catch-me-if-you-can with wolves and dogs. Common Ravens are known for spectacular acrobatic displays, such as flying in loops.

Hello Akif,
Another fantastic photo of a bird in flight. The details in the feathers are amazing. Great pose and POV. Beautiful colours, also in the contrasting OOF BG.
Regards,
Peter

Akif merhaba,
Güzel bir kuzgun fotoğrafı olmuş.Salih Bey için de güzel hediye.Eline sağlık.

Great shot of this Raven. good focus on the eye, and nice background

Akif bey merhaba,
bence kanat ucundaki netsizlik harekete vurgu yapmış, emeğine sağlık çok güzel...

Merhabalar Akif hocam,
Çok değerli bir hediye olmuş bizim için..fk daki hali de nefis idi buradaki de..eline emeğine sağlık..bol fotolu günler dilerim..

Akif merhaba, kanat uçlarındaki fluluk bence de kareye dinamizim katmış ve çok hoş duruyor. Uçma hissini karede bu sayede etkin gözlemleyebiliyoruz.
Eline ve emeğine sağlık.
Bayram
