If the stork brings them I guess that means... Abortion raven.

Adoption raven. Pretty sure abortion is a woodpecker.

I propose that this set of photos is staged.

Firstly the condition of the wing feathers; no live bird would allow them to get into that poor a condition.

Secondly the position of the wings; in the second photo the wings are all wrong for a bird taking off.

Thirdly the weight difference; I don’t see how wings that small could lift that mass.

However as fact is often stranger than fiction, I would love to be proved wrong!

How five crows managed to lift a twenty-pound baby boy into the air was beyond Prue, but that was certainly the least of her worries. In fact, if she were to list her worries right then and there as she sat spellbound on the park bench and watched her little brother, Mac, carried aloft in the talons of these five black crows, puzzling out just how this feat was being done would likely come in dead last. First on the list: Her baby brother, her responsibility, was being abducted by birds. A close second: What did they plan on doing with him?

There is only one raven, does that make this an attempted murder?

I had the scariest dream when I was 8. No other dream remained so frighteningly clear in my memory over the years. In my dream I was walking down my driveway to check the mail when a predator bird lifted me into the sky by my shoulders. Just as we were reaching the clouds he lost hold of me and I fell through the sky for what seemed like forever. Woke up before I hit ground.

My favorite cheers: "Cheers to the storks that bring the pretty babies, the buzzards that bring the ugly babies, and the swallows that bring no babies at all."

Wow! This has a level of great fear after seeing the eagles pick up the mountain goats and dropping them off cliffs.

Is it weird that I thought of that song "A whole new world" in the Aladdin soundtrack by the way the raven is holding him?

When I see this, all I think of is the story of Ganymede.
Abduction of Ganymede This theme was often painted for mothers who had recently lost a child, particularly in Dutch Baroque period, it was sort of like a death portrait.

If this actually happened the, child would be dead from the talons piercing through his vital organs or heart. Also, I don't believe cameras of that time, would be able to show it flying and flapping wings with no real blur.
