We have been having a huge (even by Raven standards) raven visiting our back patio almost every day for well over a month now. Started when I was out of town visiting my cancer-ridden sister for the last time. :( My husband saw it first.

Since I returned one or both of us see it generally between 9-11 AM. Sometimes our dog will see and chase it off, other times it just leaves after a short "visit." We have no idea what it means, or why it keeps coming. Beautiful bird. I have looked into various beliefs and legends, but still don't have a clue what it is trying to tell us. (Husband heritage is mostly Germanic, mine is mostly Irish and Scotch/English.) We live somewhat rurally now.

On a personal note, instead of perhaps shooing it away, Bless the bird with God, say a prayer, see if it brings you a sort of message, talk to it and see if you can offer it food or drink. If he/she still sits with you and comes, ask the bird why they are there visiting with you? See if the bird responds, and make sure to clear all thoughts before asking. See what comes to mind. 💛
