So in the past I know we could find rare 'super enraged' pets. But this is a new one on me.
I was curious if I could pull off a tame on the Dark Eye Raven. What I got was well... Confusion.
Can you tell who's who in this picture? One is a newly tamed raven, the other is the Gillain raven pet.
(Changed to a smaller image)

I can't tell what is going on The picture is too small.
Is it a size issue or something?

Yeah I'm afraid I can't see what's going on either. Can you please attach a big screenshot? You don't need to display it inline if you don't want to, but it'd be nice to see the issue.

He's critter sized, almost like the Naxx beetle discovery :0

Ah I see! He doesn't look too bad, but yes, maybe a bit small.

^ This
I have one of these as my AOE Tanking Pet, (the AOE debuff they have being in the carrion family is great) I specifically tamed one of the "Upland" ones for the smaller model and also have the Glyph to make it smaller again. He's now just a little larger than my Minipet now, maybe by a 3rd?
However if there is a smaller version again, I'll have to go check these out. As for taming the Dark-eye Ravens, I've read one just needs to throw a trap on them prior to taming to stop them flying off.
**Edit**
According to WOWhead, there is a screen shot of a hunter with one and it looks pretty small tbh. There is no way to know if that was truly a tamed dark-eye Raven or if they have the “sizing” Glyph, but it’s certainly enough to make me interested in taming one to see.

They;re basically teh same size. I don't have that glyph in the SS I took, and it's the Gilain raven, and the Black Eye Raven hunter pet.
Heck I've had people ask me how I have two non combat pets out at once.

I did testing and screen shots, but I'm to tired to post atm. The Dark eye is actually smaller, but by only a little. Due to that it actually fly's quite close to the ground which is not ideal imo, but it is the smallest bird model. That said you have found a somewhat unique raven pet.
This one is actually not in the Carrion family, but thinks they are birds of prey, making them the only raven model to do so.

I probably won't be logging in until Sunday but my orc huntress has this guy. I'll look and pull out the rave mini and see how close in size they are. I don't and have never used the glyph so it should tell me.

A small sized raven? neat. I love how tiny my sea gull is. I know many people a few years back wanted giant pets in the WoW Forums. But I like the little ones as they do not obscure my vision as much.

Thanks for this topic! My carrion bird and bird of prey now match.
And I successfully resisted naming them Huginn and Muninn
