A talented raven has learned to mimic humans and even utter the German phrase for ‘my darling’.

Wildlife photographer Lothar Lenz had discovered a tame raven at a nearby zoo in Eifel, Germany, with an extraordinary talent of listening and repeating phrases.

The raven has been treated with a broken wing when it was found, it is very friendly with humans and this led to it being so interested in copying the language.

The video shows the raven hopping around while squawking the phrase ‘mein schätzchen’ which translates to ‘my darling’ with pinpoint pronunciation.

Now imagine you are in the dead center of a forest and all you can hear from the trees is "My darling? My darling? Wait, wait, wait, wait! My darling?"

[pumpskin]

it's actually rather sweet that he's propably imitating his owner, meaning that he's been raised by someone loving him very much and calling him schätzchen a lot

[solarwind]

The raven is saying "Mein Schätzchen", which means "My darling".

This birds can speak consonants, like the "m" consonant, but they don't have lips.

Ravens are odin's animals. Odin is germanic, so that's no wonder.

Бред. Слышно, что голос записан в помещении и наложен на видео
