From: R' Mikha'el Makovi


> *Pesachim[1]  <#_ftn1>(113b): *Our Rabbis taught: There are three who
> love each  other. They are gerim, slaves and ravens.

>>The ger part and the  slave part is simple. The raven part I don't  
understand.<<

For a truly fascinating article about ravens, see

It's about a particular family of ravens in a San Francisco park, that have  
forged relationships with certain humans whom they know and recognize, but it  
also talks a lot about ravens in general.
 
"Ravens are one of the few creatures on the planet that mate for life. They  
have sophisticated family/clan systems. And, the clan joins together for 
mutual  gain. Ravens also have been observed making tools, engaging in play with 
each  other and have a language of over 75 calls."
