I saw something on PBS or the Discovery channel about ravens. They had a segment about a woman who lived way up north in rural Scandinavia somewhere. The woman had a raven named Loki, who would fly above her little car as she drove the two kilometers down her driveway to the gate, often dropping in through the sunroof onto the back of the car seat for a moment, then back up again into the air.

Then, when the woman reached the gate, and got out to open it, Loki would drop into the car and turn it off, turning the keys with his beak. The car was really hard to start, so this was a very funny joke. I'm assuming Loki was either intentionally messing with his human friend, or possibly he was concerned about reducing vehicle emissions.

I saw a Raven a couple of weeks ago that was doing a perfect imitation of a turkey.
