I think you are referring to the crow, Jeremy in that book, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. A very good book, by the way. Ravens, as well as crows, do indeed have a particular interest in shiny objects. That is because of their curiosity that is equal as humans. Both humans and ravens/crows are intelligent, therefore must have a sense of curiosity of everything and our surroundings.
Probably many types of birds, but ravens are well-known for that.

Because they have to fill in the empty spaces of their souls with items. They like shiny things and stuff...they are kind of like birds. :o They take your shiny things and fly away with them.
because some people like shiny things and jewellery is shiny and when i say shiny i mean shiny i mean silver and gold
its simple the things when placed in light shine or glitter like steel,polished metals etc. are shiny things and the things that don't glitter even in light like wood and non metals are dull substances.
Ravens are used as an image in things like books and movies to give a sinister atmosphere. They symbolise such things as death, evil, doom and often suggest bad things will soon take place. Sometimes they can also suggest canniblisim
Baltimore Ravens are. Like in the sentence the Baltimore ravens are awesome!
That people are attracted to bright shiny things does not indicate the value of those things.
because we like shiny things
do magnets attract only shiny things
