Sorry, but no. Keeping any kind of wild animal as a pet is illegal in the United States, with no exceptions.

Answer 2

All native wild birds in North America are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

There are no permits.  No one is allowed to own any native wild bird as a pet, including ravens.

If you love ravens, you'll protect them in the wild, where they belong.

Answer 3

Sorry, in the US it is illegal to keep any wild native bird as a pet..they are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.  You CAN legally own exotic crow and raven species.  Look here for more info:
