HI Fritz, I have raised several ravens  (all released and accepted into
normal populations I might proudly add) and their first attempts at
vocalization are often that....
 Its kind of funny the first time they make a real sound as I have actually
seen them jump back in surprise at their own sound :)

Most of the corvids are pretty docile at the fledge stage until they learn
proper avoidance behaviour from their parents. This one might be part of a
larger brood that the parents are still monitoring, If he can fly and seems
to be finding food, I wouldnt worry about him. You can also call me if you
have further questions or concerns ( 893-0253).

  Subject: [NatureNS] Raven question


  Hi All,
      For the last week or so a young Raven has been hanging around our
property. It has no fear of humans as I can approach to within three feet.
It seems to have no medical problems other than an inability to vocalize. It
attempts to call but can only produce low guttural sounds.
     At first this was interesting but now I wonder if it may be imprinting
on humans and whether or not I should discourage its remaining at my house?
Does this behavior occur from time to time and will the bird leave on his
own volition in time? All the best.
                                           Fritz
