Painting Challenge: Ravens

May 10, 2024 / Diann Zimmerman

Let’s paint ravens!  Here are some interesting facts about ravens: they are highly intelligent, have problem-solving skills, capable of using tools (they can use sticks, stones to help them obtain food or access hard-to-reach places.)  They are social birds, often form tight-knit family groups, and are known to engage in playful behavior.
