How Could You Adopt A Raven?

Question

I want to adopt a raven and I've already learned a lot about them, but one thing I don't know is how to adopt one. Would you need a permit for some areas? If so, which ones? How much would they cost? And what materials do they REALLY need? Any specific information I may not know about?

Thanks. :D Links are cool, too.

Answer 1

You cannot legally own a native wild raven anywhere in the US, they are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.  You CAN legally own non-native ravens that have been bred specifically as pets.  See more info here:

Answer 2

You used to be able to do that.  Nevermore.
