I read a lot of corvid books this year because I made new friends (crows) and they all basically say that ”if you see a crow that seems too big it’s almost always a raven” — so lucky you, they are terrific birds!

If you have to ask if it's a raven or a crow, you’ll never know. But if you see it admiring its shiny feathers in the mirror, it’s definitely a raven-tious for attention. 🐦‍⬛

Distinguishing between a crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) and a raven (Corvus corax) can be challenging visually, but ravens are generally larger than crows, averaging around 63 cm in length compared to a crow's 48-52 cm. Ravens also have a deeper, hollow croak, while crows produce a distinct "caw". Both species are known for their intelligence and ability to mimic sounds The bird is entirely black with a slight sheen on its feathers. Its wings are partially spread, showing the structure of the flight feathers. The background is a bright blue sky with diffuse white areas. Numerous small, reddish-brown buds are visible on the intricate network of branches, suggesting the season is likely early spring.

I’ve seen other types of birds fight, mostly at my feeder, and there has been a crows vs. raven territorial dispute down the block from me on and off for YEARS, but not ducks.

Ravens visit my work regularly. It turns out that they are not just 'big crows' after all... Feel free to take a read.

Interesting bit of trivia, crows and ravens are considered song birds. Song birds are in the order passerines, and crows and ravens (and jays and magpies) are in the family corvidae, which is a subgroup of passerines. The raven is considered the largest song bird in the world.

Thank you! We all see different things so whatever you see is right. For me the black shape near the center looks like a raven head looking to our left. It is pretty abstract. I have a thing for crows and ravens (and birds in general) so it isn’t surprising that I see that image.

Glued together my second corvid, this time a little witchy crow! I think this might be my Thing for this upcoming show unless I get tired of making funny little birds

Crows
The species commonly encountered in UK and Europe are the carrion crow, hooded crow, common raven, and rook; those discovered later were named "crow" or "raven" chiefly on the basis of their size,

Yup! I heard it for about a minute before I saw anything. Crows are all around here too, and I see and hear them often. But that fantastic croak? No one else sounds like that, even from afar.
Closer, you can use the tail shape… plus, crows are messy flyers, like wet newspapers. Ravens can soar.

Gorgeous cotton tote bag with my Raven painting. I can't believe how beautiful these came out, and I have one that I use as a tester, and it's such good quality. If you are stuck for unique gifts, give my etsy shop and try.

*Also #tavkarios couldn’t be subtle if they tried, so I figured some show-off animals would fit these drama queens

** The symbiosis between wolfs and ravens/crows is so fascinating! The birds fly ahead and look for hunting grounds and guide the wolves there. And they’re playing with the cubs 😭🥹

Corvids have reached the Homo habilis phase of evolution, adapting materials to make tools, and displaying problem-solving intelligence.

it's like a super power when you hear birds chirping or see one flying overhead and you know what it is!!

large birds are monstrous and majestic but smaller birds are often beautiful with brilliant colors, songs, etc. some birds like the crows and occasional raven in my yard are SMART
a crow flying though a blue sky with a pine tree in the corner. the crow us either coming in to land or to snatch up something because its legs/claws are forward with its wings up and back. its a remarkable sight to see a bird in action like this a blue sky with a red tailed hawk and a raven flying slow circles over the town searching for food. there is no way to guess the scale except that these are large birds two turkey vultures sitting in the top branches of a dead tree. they are large majestic dark colored birds with red faces. they may be majestic but they also kind of look like fucked up goth flamingos. the tree was full of turkey vultures all the way down a stellars jay perched on a fence. this is a traditionally beautiful bird with black upper body and mohawk and white eyebrow patches. the lower body and wings are a range of blues, some of which are quite stunning

The primary flight feathers on birds are called pinions. Crows have 9 pinions, while ravens have 10. So, the difference between a crow and a raven is simply a matter of a pinion.
