Cementing their status as the most terrifying of all the birds, a new study has found that ravens are able to imagine being spied upon – a level of abstraction that was previously thought to be unique to humans. 

The ability to think abstractly about other minds is singled out by many as a uniquely human trait. Now, a study from the Universities of Houston and Vienna have found that ravens are able to adapt their behaviour by attributing their perceptions to others.

The study, published in Nature Communications, found that if a nearby peephole was open, ravens guarded pockets of food against discovery in response to the sound of other birds – even if they didn’t see another bird. This was not replicated when the peephole was closed, despite hearing the same auditory clues.

According to the study’s authors, the discovery “shed[s] a new light on Theory of Mind” – the ability to attribute mental states to others. A number of studies have found that animals are able to understand what others see – but only when they can see the head or eyes, which provide gaze cues. This suggests that these animals are responding only to surface cues, and are not experiencing the same abstraction as humans.

The ability to hide food is extremely important to ravens, and they behave completely differently when they feel they are being watched – hiding food more quickly, for example, and are less likely to return to a hiding place for fear of revealing the location to a competitor.

The study replicated this behaviour. Two rooms were connected by windows and peepholes, both of which could be opened and closed. The ravens were trained to look through the peepholes to observe human experimenters making stashes of food. Finally, both windows were covered while a single peephole remained open – and, though no bird was present, the ravens still hid the food as if they were being watched.

“We showed that ravens can generalise from their own experience using the peephole as a pilferer, and predict that audible competitors could potentially see their caches through the peephole,” the authors wrote. “Consequently, we argue that they represent ‘seeing’ in a way that cannot be reduced to the tracking of gaze cues.”

Although ravens may not seem similar to humans, the two species do have something in common – their social lives. Like humans, ravens go through distinct social phases, from fluid interaction with other birds as adolescents to stable breeding pairs in adults. “There is a time when who is in the pack, who’s a friend, who’s an enemy can change very rapidly,” said Cameron Buckner, lead author of the research. “There are not many other species that demonstrate as much social flexibility. “Ravens cooperate well. They can compete well. They maintain long-term, monogamous relationships. It makes them a good place to look for social cognition, because similar social pressures might have driven the evolution of similarly advanced cognitive capacities in very different species”.

It’s not the only thing ravens can do – they’ve also been found to mimic human speech, complete complex logic puzzles and show empathy for fellow birds, which Buckner says could “change our perception of human uniqueness”. “Finding that Theory of Mind is present in birds would require us to give up a popular story as to what makes humans special,” he said. “Completing this evolutionary and developmental picture will bring us much closer to figuring out what’s really unique about the human mind”.

Litha Questions for Divination

Litha is the celebration of the summer solstice (June 21st), the longest day and shortest night of the year. The day is to celebrate Sun/Light/Fire deities and their power; it is a day of joy and growth as the crops/harvest comes to be. Of course, to celebrate, one might look towards divination. The day, being associated with fertility, love, power, and the bringing in of the harvest, is great for questions relating to one’s own growth and labor. 

🐰 How can I improve myself so that can I reach the height of my potential?

🐰 What are some things that I should look out for/ be aware of?

🐰 What is coming into my life–how can I best prepare for this?

🐰 What should I start bringing into my life for my growth?

🐰 What are some things that I should let go of?

🐰 What can I do to increase the rewards from my labor?

🐰 How can I ensure what I want comes to me

🐰 What can I do to help me and my partner have a good relationship?

🐰 How should I approach my love life?

Take note; if you’re going to ask a diviner these questions-make sure to be specific. 

They do not,

Will not,

Cannot,

Control you.

Witchy Self Care Things To Do

Soak up some sun

Go for a walk

Take a long hot bath (optional to put in some tea, bath salts, bath bombs, flowers and/or light some candles)

Sit and ground/centre yourself

Write things down

Draw

Talk to someone

Get some rest

Laugh (no literally look up funny videos and laugh, sometimes laughing helps)

Write down on a piece of paper what qualities you’d like your astral space to be like so when you feel down or need a break you have not only your own space at home but your own space to take a break in your mind

Relax, breathe and count (I find sometimes if people are angry they will count and do breathing techniques and I’ve seen it helps with some people)

Meditation

Make some tea

Light some incense

Bake (sometimes baking cookies or any kind of dessert relaxes you)

Listen to some sad music, angry music and then some happy music. Takes you through the emotions

Soak up some moon

Write down affirmations (example: “I am okay, it’s okay not to feel okay but everything will be alright. Everything will get better”)

Well that’s all my beautiful kittens. Stay positive and know that if any of you ever need to talk I’m good at listening. Much love kittens. I’m sending positive energy to all of y'all. Hopefully this helps someone.
