Bob, Huey & Me

This is a true story that began in 1998 when Rick & Diana acquired a wounded crow they named Bob and ended up taking care of for almost a year. Within weeks of the crow dying in 1999, they miraculously found a baby raven aptly named Huey, that was about 15 days old and to young to fly. Their goal was to get the bird back into the wild as quickly as possible. They did everything human parents could; teaching it to feed on what it would find in the wild, encouraging it to fly but by far the most difficult challenge was teaching it to fear what would harm it. Huey stayed for about six months and ended up taking over the entire neighborhood. Rick and Diana had had many great adventures with numerous animals, but Huey surpassed them all. His intelligence, love of play, the way he teased other animals, and learned to played dead was surprising enough. But then they caught him letting the neighbors dogs out so he could steal the dog food. And there's more. What's even more surprising, was how Rick was able to use wild untrained ravens to retell the story!
