Things everybody needs to hear more often:

- you are loved
- your feelings are valid
- you deserve rest
- you don't need to be available at all times
- that's not a raven, that's a crow
- it's okay. a crow is a pretty big and cool bird, too

@schratze I'm so urban I would probably mistake a raven for a crow because ravens are just rare birds that live far away where I don't dwell (the country)

@schratze I do know that they croak and not caw but according to my father the difference is when you put them next to each other and I would rather not risk it getting my eyes clawed out trying to measure them🤣

@leguinian_utopia no the calls are the best way to distinguish them. Also the hair tuft on top of the beak, the rhombic tail, and the way ravens soar through the air

@leguinian_utopia @schratze and the sear terrifying size of those things.

good rule of thumb is, if you are wondering if that’s a raven, it is not. if you’re like “holy mother of jesus what the actual hell is that” it might be a raven. or a witch in disguise idk.

@whangdoodler @leguinian_utopia agreed. Except if it's at a great distance with no objects nearby by which to judge the size

@leguinian_utopia @schratze my kid just said the other day ”if far enough, every bird is black.” so in above example identification arrives to black bird.

@whangdoodler @schratze They're right
