I live right near a huge park and we've got fat ravens and crows all over the neighborhood.  My son and I have seen them catching rats and scarfing down on our neighbors' roofs.  I love their obnoxious cackles. If I could have a talking raven, I would. Fuck a parrot.  This is a Shakespeare allusion, no? talking ravens? I remember that from somewhere.

Makes me think of the ravens in The Hobbit, and the few Dwarves and 
Dalemen who remembered the ravenspeak.

I guess it goes back to Odin's Hugin and Munin:

more for Memory.

I saw some serious-looking big black birds at Alamo Square last month. 
Maybe these were some of your friends.
