The fact that people like that are even venturing into magic is a worrying thought ... tell him to go back to playing his playstation 2!

such is the downside to having your email addy at the bottom of your posts..a good tip i was told was not to have your "real everyday" email addy displayed but a "ok i maybe used it once or twice" type email addy for use on forums... then if you only check it maybe once a week or so your "normal" inbox isnt cluttered with kack like this!

Please dont tell this kid how it works. I mean seriously. If everyone know about the invisible ravens from the guadamadilla islands of south asia and how you can train them to steal small objects, then any laymen on the street will be doing it. And we dont want that now do we?

i1011i, what do you feed yours? I'm running out of the packet food it came with! I'm scared in case it flies away if I don't have any more food.

:shock:

I feed mine using the rare idiot plant. It can be found only in the darkest areas of 'stop emailing me for secrets'. This can be found near the land of 'buy your own'. Sadly it seems many people have not heard of this wonderful land.

I don't use real ravens, they are much too big.

A budgie painted black will do just as well and they don't need the special food either. Mine lives on raw onions.

(please delete this mods if I have given too much away)

Adding to the first response to this thread, doesn't it just worry you all a bit that people like this are actually out there at all? Its just a bit scary isn't it.

It's enough to drive you Raven mad. I suspect some people think it's a bit of a Lark and will Crow about it but we're lucky to have Eagle-eyed members who will stop anyone Robin other people's ideas.

Yes but don't just give him the Bird for this. I know it might be a bit hard to Swallow and that Swift action is needed but huffin and Puffin about it won't stop a thieving Magpie.
