So while this looks cute, we think he has problems. He was rolling around in our front yard very uncoordinated (looks like textbook ataxia to us.) took him to the vet and she said he’s just young and learning to fly and to put him back and look for his parents. We put him back but kept checking on him. No parents came all day. So we’ve fed him some mince meat (as directed by the vet) and water and placed him in a cage overnight for protection. He can’t stand up straight by himself and just somersaults onto his own face. Anyone have any suggestions?
If you're dead set upon keeping this bird as a pet, do a youtube search for having a raven as a pet. There's a guy who did a lengthy video explaining the problems that come along with having a raven for a pet.

Knowing how smart those birds can be, he might have taken you as a pet.
