We are visited by ravens every day. My little one got excited this morning and called me to look. He knows they are the ones I'm not scared of.
He took some photos, they were a lot closer than this looks.
I think of you everytime I see them. X
I found myself surrounded by ravens are cockatoos the other day.
I had just been doing some research into indigenous peoples stories about them, so was a little excited.
The family groups of the Noongar people from western Australia are divided to subgroups that are represented either by the raven or the cockatoo.
In the past, the Noongar had two great family groups – the crows (Wardong) and the white cockatoos (Mandich) – and for a crow to marry a crow or a cockatoo to marry a cockatoo was regarded as incest and severely punished. They saw the crow and cockatoo as "yin and yang", each complementing and balancing the other's characters.
Ravens are commonly referred to as crows in Australia. But they are actually ravens.
