Wahoo the Raven's Many Inventions

Wahoo the Raven is a very smart bird. Here are some quotes about Wahoo's BlackRavet inventions.


WingLinks™: "When he was young, scientists had tagged his wings. The tags were ugly, but he solved that problem. Raven Fashion 101: Remove tags. Insert earring. Voila! WingLinks™. Women all over Manhattan were clamoring to donate their earrings to his cause, and it was his gentlemanly duty to save earrings from being forced to attend one more boring tea party on a society maven’s earlobe."


BlackZip™ Typewriter: "High above Fifth Avenue, Wahoo the Raven daydreamed on his string bag hammock. His iridescent black feathers sparkled in the sun. What now? Should he return to typing his memoir on his BlackZip™ typewriter, which he had designed, assembled, and trademarked under his BlackRaven™ brand? He could only write RavenSpeak in hieroglyphics, which no human could read, so it forced him to type his memoir in English."


RavenPort™: "Because the temperature was balmy, he hopped into a black pair of spats with tiny red buttons up the side and stepped onto his balcony RavenPort™. Then he flapped his wide wings and soared into the air toward the zoo."


String Bag Hammock and Yo-Yo Top Side Table: "The ledge outside held his hammock and a side table repurposed from a spinning blue Yo-Yo top. Wahoo had assembled a hibachi from a narrow rectangular aluminum pan liberated from a dumpster. That was to hold the charcoal. A metal grid made to measure sat on top. Charcoal was easy to “borrow” from the carts roasting chestnuts or pretzels, albeit without the owners’ knowledge."


 RavenPicks™: "Enough talk! Hold out your arm so I can sit on it to pick the lock. Pedro complied while Wahoo employed his trusty RavenPicks™."


SophiaSiren™: “It looks like one of those small squeeze toys for a dog, but it is my latest safety invention, the SophiaSiren™. When you squeeze it, it places a distress call to 911 along with your GPS coordinates, as well as texting Henry and Lionel.
