INTRODUCTION
Dear Ones,
Here is a talk on animal husbandry as practiced by Ravens on Earth today. A comparison is made between Raven animal husbandry techniques and Human animal husbandry.
There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Raven Animal Husbandry of Songbirds and Hawks
By Alice B. Clagett
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I have an observation regarding Ravens, Songbirds, and Hawks that has to do with human animal husbandry. That is raising and taking care of animals to use for food and other products.
This in particular has to do with how we raise Chickens for eggs. We breed the Chickens and we keep the Chickens, and then we use their eggs for food. The Ravens do something similar.
As you may know, Ravens are ‘foragers’. They forage around for all kinds of food. In this regard they are similar to humans in their early days, who foraged for food too.
Hawks on the other hand are predators. They dive down and grab animals and eat them.
So Ravens are ‘foragers’ … like the early Humans … and Hawks are ‘predators’ … more like Wolves (but Wolves hunt in packs and Hawks hunt singly).
I have noticed that the Ravens take very good care of the Songbirds. They try to prevent the Hawks from eating the Songbirds.
There was even a Raven Hawk fighter here earlier this year that would fight with the Hawks for the food that they get and grab the food in mid-air aerial battles …

Father Raven to Mother Hawk: Alpha! Alpha! I’m Alpha! … [then softly:] Ha ha ha!
Father Raven is stealing food disgorged by the harried predator Mother Hawk, just as Humans use Hawks to down prey that the Humans eat.
The difference in Raven and Human techniques of garnering prey from Hawks may have to do with the Ravens’ smaller size and their flight capabilities.
………………..
Then what happened was that Mother Hawk became very hungry, and it killed Mother Raven, who was Father Raven’s mate. Since then the Ravens have been very careful not to engage in aerial battles with the Hawks.
The Ravens warn the Songbirds about the approach of Hawks. They try to teach them to be very quiet so that they won’t attract the attention of the Hawks, because Hawks are very merciless.
You might ask yourself: Why does this happen?
I have read that in the springtime, when Songbirds mate and produce eggs and then raise children, that the Ravens will raid the Songbirds’ nests for the eggs and for the nestlings … for the baby birds, which they like to eat.
You may think of this in a pejorative or blaming sense, but when you look at people, you may find they do the very same thing. That is what happens when people raise Chicken for eggs and for pullets, which are the young Chickens that we like to eat.
Those Chickens would not be alive except for the fact that the humans want to eat those eggs and those young chickens, you see?
And the same is true of the Ravens and Songbirds. So we have the Ravens to thank for the survival and proliferation of Songbirds on Earth.
Those of you that are into ecology may know the great help that Songbirds are to the ecology of Earth. For instance, Songbirds are important for insect control, for seed dispersal, for pollination, for provision of fertilizers, and not the least, for joy that Earth knows through the beauty of their persons and their songs.
So Ravens are more like us than we think. They are like Early Humans who foraged about the Earth for their food. They are like the Native Americans. And going back farther, they are like the cavemen. They are like the Neanderthals that did not raise food, but foraged for it.
And in addition, Ravens are developing animal husbandry techniques … which may have been the case with the cavemen and the Neanderthals as well. For Ravens as for Early Humans, animal husbandry may be the beginning of Agriculture. Don’t you feel it to be so?
God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

POSTLUDE
I have to tell you, Dear Readers, that Father Raven and Mother Raven are sitting on the telephone pole in my backyard right now, listening to what is unfolding.
Father Raven really liked this story. He said to me just now: Alpha Raven! I like that!
Though Alice is only the teller of a tale that long awaited the telling, she likes that as well!

MORE INFORMATION
“Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture concerned with animals that are raised for meat, fibre, milk, or other products.
“It includes day-to-day care, management, production, nutrition, selective breeding, and the raising of livestock.
“Husbandry has a long history, starting with the Neolithic Revolution when animals were first domesticated, from around 13,000 BC onwards, predating farming of the first crops.”
