Hi John,
The first thing to notice is that the owl is TOTALLY unimpressed. It's not scared in the least, and the raven has no aggrssive intentions, but starts out being just curious- like: "what the hell is This!" So it tests - tries to get a reaction. But the owl still stays totally nonchalent. At some point the raven then tries a different tactic- it puts on its "I'm a big guy" display of erect "ear" feathers- usually used to show status in the presence of potential superiors, but here used also with a bowing and wing-flaring,which is used in supplication if there is NOT going to be a challenge- so, yes, i think the raven was having fun, and then also starting to have some respect, because this big white thing was NOT going to cooperate and be its toy.

“Stop talking, a human is over there recording us”

Raven: "Hi, there! Isn't it a beautiful day?" Owl: "It's a beautiful day to leave me alone."
-
Raven: "So do you think the humans know?" Owl: "As long as you shut up, they won't."

Jokes aside, these birds, this dark sky, cold weather and this song gives this video a very special vibe
-
Raven: Too inquisitive and talkative for the Owl. Owl: Too noble to tell him to buzz off.

I bet they've been around each other before, like old friends.

00:47 the owl is looking into the camera like “see what I have to go through”🦉

Does anyone else find the way the owl shuffles about really cute or is it just me

Raven: They need you in Hogwar- Owl: Ah shit here we go again

0:47 Owl looks at the camera like “can you believe this guy”

There's a curious known fact about these two. They're both enemies with hawks, principally the owls, but having this personal hate in common makes them "enemy of my enemy" so, though they might have not so good encounters, they'll more likely tend to become allies by interest. Fascinating birds.

Raised a Raven this summer. Chose to stay around and is never caged. Blended into the household of three dogs and a cat. Very intelligent and happy bird. Blessed to have him in our lives.

Raven: "Suppp man?" Owl: "... Someone is recording us, act strange.!"
-
Owls are always regarded as a symbol of knowledge while a raven is one of the smartest bird we know. What a curious interaction.
-
Ravens and crows and owls are all pretty smart the raven probably hasn't interacted much with an owl before and was just curious about it
-
The raven is a hopeless romantic confessing his love to a fed-up owl.
-
I love how, based on that letter in the description, their conversation is basically just this: Raven: Hey there! I'm bored! You wanna play with me? Owl: BACK OFF.
-
Raven: "Hey! Hey, Hedwig, hey! Hey! Hedwig, hey!" Owl: sighs heavily "Go. Away."
-
It makes me sad knowing these birds have passed but I'm glad this unique and curious encounter will live on
-
Raven: imma annoy you Owl: Try. I'm unfazed.
