User's notes

Three Australian Ravens were high in a tree. At one stage one of the ravens had a long, black feather in its claws. This bird was an adult but a juvenile was nearby; it approached closer to the adult bird after a few minutes. The adult bird was picking at the the part of the shaft that is in the skin of a bird. I am not sure what the raven was after. The juvenile bird was pulling at the barbs of the feather, which almost seemed to indicate to me that the juvenile bird wanted food. Any ideas please as to what the ravens were doing with the feather?
