*** Chihuahuan Raven and Common Raven let you discard an egg to gain any two food from the supply, which is a good conversion rate and doesn't put you at the mercy of what happens to be available in the bird feeder at the moment. This also has the advantage of letting you ignore the Forest, which is typically the clunkiest and least powerful habitat. The ''[[ExpansionPack Oceania Expansion]]'' made this ability even more powerful by introducing Nectar, a wild resource that can gain you points if you use it the most, and yes, the Ravens can gain it. Tellingly, the rulebook of that expansion outright suggests leaving out the Ravens if you think they're too powerful with that rule, and the official app will allow you to remove them as well starting in the Oceania update.

* HighTierScrappy: The members of the "Power Four", a quartet of [[GameBreaker Game-Breakers]], are disliked for their extremely efficient resource conversion. This goes doubly for the Ravens, which also bless you with the ability to just take whatever food you want instead of relying on what happens to be available in the bird feeder. The ''Oceania Expansion'' makes them even better by letting them grab Nectar, which is wild ''and'' nets you a point bonus if you use a lot of it. As a result, many players either leave the Ravens out of the game (which the ''Ocenania Expansion'''s rulebook outright suggests) or add rules to nerf them (such as forbidding you from playing them in the first round). Additionally, the Board Game Arena implementation of the game offers an option to play without the Power Four.
