KettleQuill: This was the Rook (Corvus frugilegus) chick that me and my partner raised last year. We dubbed him Bran (after both the raven god and Game of Thrones XD ) This was taken not long before he was released. He was an amazing little character, stealing things, investigating, caching food. Very intelligent as well, as are the other corvids. I must admit I miss his antics. Source: kettlequill.deviantart.com
