"They just breed themselves unless we have some sort of pairing in mind." He shrugged. "Ravens are ravens."

"We very often have a pairing in mind," he chuckled. "That does not involve a brother, sister, or other relative. And they mate with birds in other rookeries as well."

"They are indeed." He nodded. "You saw Kirri talking; quite a few of them can do that! Makes for interesting social dynamics."
