Just when you thought you’d seen it all at the grocery store, someone out here is casually shopping with a raven like it’s no big deal.
A video making the rounds on Reddit shows a woman casually strolling through a store with a massive, jet-black raven perched on her shoulder. You know, like a pirate—but make it suburban. And honestly? The bird looks right at home like it’s about to ask where the organic snacks are.
Ravens… As Emotional Support Animals?
Look, we all love our pets, but this takes “bring your furry (or in this case, feathery) friend along” to a whole new level. Ravens are crazy smart—like, “can solve puzzles and mimic human speech” smart. So, who’s to say this bird isn’t just helping with the shopping list?
Reddit, of course, had a field day. One commenter joked, “When asked for a comment, the raven replied ‘Nevermore.’” Another said, “I’m just hoping her name is Lenore.” (Poe fans, we see you.)
Is This The Future?
Okay, maybe we’re not all about to start rolling up to Target with our pet ravens, but this video definitely makes you wonder—if you could bring any animal shopping, what would it be?
Drop your picks in the comments. But fair warning: If you say “raccoon,” we’re gonna need a follow-up video immediately. 👀
