"Sometimes called "the ape of the sky" for its high intelligence, one of my favorite birds comes in black ... but also white. In Dutch a "witte raaf" (white raven) is someone who is exceptional, usually in a positive sense. Mythology says that ravens were once white, but were turned black as punishment for sins, such as feeding on the corpses of the drowned in the story of Noah's Ark. White ravens are NOT albinos. I was amazed to hear about a mated PAIR of white ravens in Canada, which suggests mate-preference for same-color, because the vast majority of ravens is black. The pair produced black chicks.

I'm so jealous, Mahdi! I didn't even know they exist. It must feel like seeing a unicorn :D - esther

It was very interesting for me. I have never seen such kind of creature before. You can see his photo here : http://redwattlebird.deviantart.com/art... - Mahdi E
