About These Birds
Banggai Crow
The Banggai Crow is a Critically Endangered corvid of the family Corvidae found only on Peleng Island in Indonesia. Weighing about 175g with a wingspan of 40.2cm, it is a large all-black crow restricted to one of the world's smallest ranges for any corvid. Deforestation and hunting have reduced its population to critically low numbers.
Eurasian Magpie
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent animals on Earth and the first non-mammal demonstrated to recognize itself in a mirror. These bold corvids build elaborate domed nests of sticks and have a well-known attraction to shiny objects, though this reputation may be exaggerated.
