>>317748 (OP)Yes, it is very possible that a raven would try to pluck the eyes out of a dying human, and they tend to do so in certain circumstances. Here's why:
Opportunistic Scavengers: Ravens are opportunistic scavengers. This means they feed on a wide variety of sources, including dead animals (carrion).
Soft Parts First: When feeding on a carcass, carrion birds, including ravens, often look for the softest and easiest-to-access parts first. Eyes are precisely one of these parts. They are nutritious and relatively easy to peck and extract, especially from an animal or person who is dying or has just died and can no longer defend themselves.
Observed Behavior: There are numerous accounts and observations of ravens and other carrion birds (like vultures) feeding on the eyes of dead or helpless animals.
Intelligence and Learning: Ravens are very intelligent birds and quickly learn which food sources are accessible. If a raven has had a previous experience finding eyes as an easy food source, it is more likely to repeat that behavior.
State of the Human: It is important to note that this would occur with a person who is dying or already deceased and cannot react. A raven would not typically attack a healthy, living person to pluck out their eyes.
In summary, due to their scavenging nature, their preference for soft parts, and their intelligence, ravens have a tendency to try to feed on the eyes of dying or dead animals, and a human in that state would be no exception.
