About

Ravens are intelligent and curious birds. They have been observed in the wild playing with objects like stones which they toss in the air then catch in flight.

White-necked ravens are normally seen singly or in mated pairs, but they will occasionally gather in flocks. They are sometimes seen riding thermals alongside vultures.
