From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Who provideth for the raven his food? -The same thought is expressed inPsalms 147:9, He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry. CompareMatthew 6:26. Scbeutzer (in loc.) suggests that the reason why the raven is specified here rather than other fowls is, that it is an offensive bird, and that God means to state that no object, however regarded by man, is beneath his notice. He carefully provides for the needs of all his creatures. When his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat -Bochart observes that the raven expels the young from the nest as soon as they are able to fly.
